There are many places to do volunteer work in the community.Some of my classmates volunteer at the local animal shelter,the community table(which provides free meals for needy families),charity(慈善)stores,and many others.Finding a suitable place to volunteer usually depends on what’s available,as well as personal interests.For example,a friend of mine who enjoys swimming volunteers at the recreation center to teach young children how to swim. With all these options out there,I ended up doing most of my volunteer work at a school library and a non-profit bookstore called Friends of the Library.This bookstore sells donated books at cheap prices,and all the profits made are donated to the local library. I thought it was very fitting that I do my volunteer work at a library and a bookstore,because reading has always been very important to me.I love working in the bookstore now,because every sale we make helps our public library expand,and gives it the funds needed to purchase new books. I think everyone should have the opportunity to read,and that we each should do our part to help those who don’t have the chance.There is a charity event,called One Book for A Window of Opportunity,in which Chinese students can donate a book to the children of the poor village Fangmaping.They don’t have a lot of resources,so reading can be a challenge.To find out more about this event,please visit:/thread-739278-1-1.html. 【文章大意】本文讲述的是美国学生根据自己的兴趣爱好以志愿者的形式参加课后的实践活动,以及作者自己参加课外活动后的经历和体会。 1.This passage is written by 　　　.?
