Volunteer work plays an important role in America’s high school education. Great numbers of high school students take part in volunteer work in order to have a bright future. Volunteer work is an important part of the college (大學(xué)) application.

High school students find that whether they have much volunteer experience or not is an important factor (因素). A famous American university once enrolled (招收) a girl who

successfully sold a great deal of girl scout cookies (女童軍餅干). Instead of selling the cookies in front of supermarket or from door to door, the girls walked into a big company (公司) and asked to see the CEO (總裁). Beginning with the good taste of her cookies, she told him how the money would be used to help poor children and how the company would benefit (受益) if he bought her cookies. At last, she won praise from both the CEO and the headmaster of the university.

Volunteering is a great preparation for future careers. Five days after Kymberly Bays has finished a high school, she started a travel to Africa for six weeks to be a volunteer teacher at a poor school.

She also raised $1,000 through a part-time job to buy textbooks for the school. Kymberly wants to be a foreign news reporter, so the trip to Africa would help her learn more about foreign places and see how others live.

A. go to university B. own a bright future C. help their family D. show their personalities . One of the usual ways to sell cookies is to sell them ____.

A. in companies B. in supermarkets C. in universities D. from door to door 55. Which of the following is true?
