英语专四 短文听力 Passage 9-1

 短文

Questions 11 to 13 are based on the following passage.

Community service is an important component¹ of education here at our university. We encourage all students to volunteer for at least one community activity before they graduate. A new community program called “One On One” helps elementary students who’ve fallen behind. (11) Your education majors might be especially interested in it because it offers the opportunity to do some teaching²—that is, tutoring³ in math and English. You’d have to volunteer two hours a week for one semester⁴. You can choose to help a child with math, English, or both. Half-hour lessons are fine, so you could do (12) a half hour of each subject two days a week. Professor Dodge⁵ will act as a mentor⁶ to the tutors—he’ll be available to help you with lesson plans or to offer suggestions for activities. (13) He has office hours every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. You can sign up for the program with him and begin the tutoring next week. I’m sure you’ll enjoy this community service and you’ll gain valuable experience at the same time. It looks good on your resume⁷, too- showing that you’ve had experience with children and that you care about your community. If you’d like to sign up, or if you have any questions, stop by Professor Dodge’s office this week.
