20、where along the way, the same parent ends up becoming an invaluable member of the team.

Handing out sliced oranges to bloodthirsty(饥饿的) kids can be as exciting as watching your own kid
21、score a goal.Still, most of us volunteers breathe a sigh of relief when the season comes to a close.

26、。20B 词义猜测题。根据画线单词前的“She may just need a little persuading.”可知，这位家长可能需要一点点劝说。后面作者给这位家长进行了举例劝说，一位有四个孩子的单亲妈妈在主持这件事，一位孩子不在此队的爸爸担任长曲棍球队的教练，这些例子都是为了吸引这位家长来做志愿工作。故选B项。短语tug at the heartstrings 意为“触动心弦”，在此指“动之以情”。21D 推理判断题。根据第三段的“The unwilling parent organizes the meal schedule, sends out emails and collect
27、s money for endofseason gifts. Somewhere along the way, the same parent ends up becoming an invaluable member of the team.”可知，这位不情愿的家长在参与了这项活动后，安排用餐时间，发送电子邮件，筹款买赛季末礼物，每件事都安排得很妥当。在这个过程中，她最终成了团队中非常宝贵的一员，由此可推知这位开始不情愿参加的家长最后成了团队里的一个好帮手。故选D项。22B推理判断题。根据第四段中的最后两句“services provides a real joy. Volunteering
28、 just feels so good.”可知，作者之所以喜欢做志愿工作，是因为这使她很快乐。故选B项。COver the past 40 years, China has helped more than 700 million rural residents out of being poor, and the poverty ratethe proportion of people living below the Chinese poverty linehad fallen among the rural population from 975 percent in 1978 to 3
