I went to a volunteer orientation（志愿者活动情况介绍会） at Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital in California several days ago.
Before I went there, I thought it was just a meeting for us to learn some basic information on how to do volunteer work. To my surprise, this meeting lasted for four hours! It told us in detail how to be a good volunteer at hospital.
For example, Graham, the director, told us to keep eye contact while offering help and never wait to be asked but offer help first. She also told us to bend down（弯下腰） to listen while patients are talking to show that we’re willing to hear. We should lead them to ask others for help if we can’t answer their questions and never say: it is not my business.
For the whole meeting, Miss Graham taught us how to satisfy patients through our words, body language and manners. It impressed me a lot. Americans pay so much attention to serving people with a professional attitude（专业的态度）.
I suddenly realized why many people feel foreigners are really nice and friendly. They have been trained to do so since they were young. They always ask themselves: How do people feel toward my service? How can I improve to let them feel better? I really like this kind of culture.According to the first two paragraphs, we learn the following about the volunteer orientation EXCEPT ____.

回答问题 阅读短文，然后很据短文内容，简要回答下列问题。
Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.
Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place, man could move to another place. But this is no longer true. Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.
Air pollution is still the most serious. It's bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us angry more easily.
Many countries are making rules to fight against pollution. They stop people from burning coal(煤) in houses and factories, and from putting dirty smoke into the air. Pollution by SO2 is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. It is sure that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.
The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean.

Can animals be made to work for us? Some scientists think that one day animals may be taught to do a number of simple jobs. They spent that in a film or on TV. We may see elephants, monkeys, dogs, bears, or other animals doing a lot of things. If you watch carefully, you may find that those animals are given something to eat in return for doing them. The scientists say that many different animals may be taught to do a number of simple jobs if they get something to eat.
Of course, as we know, dogs can be used to guard a house, and elephants can be used to do some heavy jobs .And we can also teach animals to work in factories. Apes(猿猴),for example have been used in America to help make cars and scientists believe that these monkeys may one day get in crops and even drive trains.
