UNICEF is an international charity that helps children around the world. It was set up in 1946 to help children in Europe and China after World War II. It wanted to make life better for those who were badly influenced.
Now, UNICEF has a number of plans and hopes to achieve for children in every country. For example, they think that all children should be able to have safe drinking water. They also work hard to make sure that children can get medicine if they are ill. In many countries, children, especially girls, do not have the chance to go to school, so UNICEF tries to let them get a good education.
UNICEF is different from many other charities because it works with different governments around the world. Though many governments have their own systems (体系) to improve the lives of their children, UNICEF has so much experience that it can advise governments on how to make their systems better. UNICEF has done many great things since it started and will carry on with its work only if people can keep donating money to help it.

Han Qian, worked to recruit volunteers (招募志愿者) for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. Fourteen years ago, he was a volunteer at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.
“It’s my pleasure to take part in the two Olympics,” said Han. “Being a volunteer is different from organizing (组织) them, though both are great experiences. Organizing needs more thinking and planning, especially as we’re facing many new difficulties.”
Because of COVID-19, volunteers needed to be quarantined (隔离) before February 4th. This meant they had to give up more time for this job. As around 90% of the volunteers were university students, this could influence their schoolwork. So Han’s team worked together with schools to support the students as much as they could.
Han’s team also worked with schools to recruit students. “For example, volunteers from Tsinghua University work in the National Stadium, while those from Peking University take care of the National Aguatics Center,” Han said.
The cold weather was another difficulty, as some games were held outdoors. The outdoor volunteers needed to be trained, like 15-kilometer walks, to prepare for their work. The organizing group also provided hats, warm coats and other useful things for them.
“Many volunteers have developed interest in winter sports because of this experience,” Han said. “I’ve seen them post pictures of themselves skiing and skating. I’m happy that the volunteering experience is rewarding for them.”
【小题1】What does organizing volunteers need according to Han’s words?| A．Great experiences. | B．Thinking and planning. |
| C．Love for winter sports. | D．Support from schools. |
①Cold weather ②Different languages ③Little experience ④Being quarantined
| A．①② | B．②③ | C．②④ | D．①④ |
| A．By working with schools. | B．By giving more money. |
| C．By helping with schoolwork. | D．By choosing good universities. |
