Chengdu has dozens of new millionaires, Asia's biggest building, and great new hotels. But for tourists like me, pandas are its top 【小题1】 (attract).

So it was a great honour to be invited backstage at the not-for-profit Panda Base, where ticket money helps pay for research. I 【小题2】 (allow) to get close to these cute animals at the 600-acre centre. From tomorrow, I will be their UK ambassador(大使).The title will be 【小题3】(official) given to me at a ceremony in London. But my connection with pandas goes 【小题4】 to my days on a TV show in the mid-1980s, 【小题5】 I was the first Western TV reporter【小题6】(permit) to film a special unit caring for pandas rescued from starvation (饥饿)in the wild. My ambassadorial duties will include 【小题7】 (introduce) British visitors to the 120-plus pandas at Chengdu and others at a research centre in the misty mountains of Bifengxia.

【小题8】 my recent visit, I held a lively three-month-old twin that had been rejected(抛弃)by 【小题9】 (it) mother. The nursery team changes him every few days with his sister so that while one is being bottle-fed, the 【小题10】 is with mum - she never suspects.

When Robert Lee was in primary school, he hated to see his classmates throwing away half-eaten sandwiches after lunch. His parents had taught him and his older brother not to waste food. “They said it was bad,” says Robert, 27.

While 【小题1】 (study) finance and accounting at New York University, Robert remembered this lesson and joined Two Birds One Stone, a food rescue club at school 【小题2】 delivered, five days a week, uneaten pasta, vegetables and other leftovers (剩余食物) from the dining hall to nearby homeless 【小题3】 (shelter).

When Robert and fellow club member Louisa Chen entered a college 【小题4】 (compete), they came up with a slightly different idea for a food rescue non-profit group—【小题5】 (it) program wouldn’t have a donation minimum, would operate seven days a week, and would be staffed 【小题6】 (entire) by volunteers.

Surprisingly, 【小题7】 idea stood out. Robert and Louisa Chen won the first place. 【小题8】 the $1,000 prize, they founded Rescuing Leftover Cuisine (RLC) in July 2013. In just the first few weeks, Robert s team delivered a donation of enough noodles and meatballs to feed 20 people in line at a New York City homeless shelter that had run out of food. Only a year into his finance job, Robert gave up his six- figure salary 【小题9】 (focus) on RLC. So far the organization 【小题10】 (reach) sixteen cities around the country.

There is a new trend that an increasing number of college students 【小题1】(be) willing to work as volunteers in their spare time. Take my university 【小题2】 an example, many of my classmates have the experience of being volunteers.

Objectively speaking, everything has its both sides. Voluntary work can be 【小题3】(benefit) to our society and make our own lives meaningful. It is also a perfect way for college students to grow up mentally. 【小题4】(honest), some universities and colleges, my university 【小题5】(include), have a special item of rule that one should accomplish certain hours’ voluntary work before he graduates, so some lazy students 【小题6】(force) to do it for the sake of getting their certificates. At the same time, the word “volunteer” loses its real meaning.

Personally speaking, I hold the view that it is not what you have done 【小题7】 what you are willing to do that counts. I have once worked as a guide in the Dalian Railway Station, 【小题8】(help) passengers to find the entrances and exits when necessary. I treat it as my 【小题9】(pleased), which can broaden my view, make friends and receive thanks. I’m planning to organize my own “Voluntary Group” this year. We will appear 【小题10】 the notices “VOLUNTEERS WANTED” are posted.
