2019 高考全国卷（II ）阅读理解B （卢姣华译） “You can use me as a last resort, and if nobody else volunteers ，then I will do it.” This was an actual reply from a parent after I put out a request for volunteers for my kids lacrosse club. “你可以把我当作最后的人选。要是实在没别人去做志愿服务，那么我去吧。”这是一 位家长的原话，是在我为自己的少儿长柄曲棍球俱乐部征集志愿者时她作出的回复。 I guess that theres probably some demanding work schedule, or social anxiety around stepping up to help for an unknown sport.
