In today's world, applying to(申请) colleges, even jobs, asks questions about your volunteer experience. This is great! I know some people who are quick to talk about how they help others. Smiling big, they tell me about the number of volunteer hours. But sometimes I find out that they don't even know the task of the group! Although this only happened twice, it really troubled me. So I start to think that maybe this isn't the best way to think about helping others.
The best way to fix this is to change what colleges and jobs ask for. Instead of asking "how many hours have you helped", they should ask "how have you made things better for others". They should ask people to explain, and look for people who really care and try hard, instead of just seeing the hours they've spent.
We, the students, can also help fix this. Try to forget about the hours, because they're not important. Choose groups you care about and learn about the people you're helping. Don't help because you have to but because it's the right thing to do as a person. Next time you hear a friend talking about how many hours they've helped, tell them that numbers don't change the world.

It should be more about making your community better, and learning what it means to be a good person in our world. You should think about helping others, not about how it will benefit you.The best way to fix this is to change what colleges and jobs ask for. Instead of asking "how many hours have you helped", they should ask "how have you made things better for others". They should ask people to explain, and look for people who really care and try hard, instead of just seeing the hours they've spent.

答案
【文章大意】本文是一篇议论文，主要讨论了当前社会在申请大学或工作时过分关注志愿服务时长的问题，并提出了改进建议。
1. B 补全文章题。根据下文“It should be more about making your community better, and learning what it means to be a good person in our world.”可知，帮助他人应该更多的是让社区变得更好，以及学会在世界上成为一个好人意味着什么，所以此处应强调帮助他人不应只看数字；选项B“帮助他人不应该仅仅与数字有关。”符合语境。故选B。
2. B 词义猜测题。根据第二段中“You should think about helping others, not about how it will benefit you.”可知，作者希望人们在做志愿服务时想着帮助他人，而不是想着对自己有什么好处；据此可以推断画线单词“benefit”的意思是“对……有好处”，与“be good for”同义。故选B。
3. C 细节理解题。根据第三段“The best way to fix this is... They should ask people to explain, and look for people who really care and try hard, instead of just seeing the hours they've spent.”可知，大学和工作单位应该寻找那些真正关心他人、努力付出并能真正带来改变的人，而不是只看志愿服务时长。故选C。
4. A 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Don't help because you have to but because it's the right thing to do as a person.”可知，不要因为不得不而去帮助他人，而要因为作为一个人这是正确的事情去帮助他人；因此，选项A“因为不得不而去帮助。”不是学生应该有的好的思考方式。故选A。
5. D 观点态度题。根据最后一段中“Try to forget about the hours, because they're not important.”以及“tell them that numbers don't change the world”等内容可以看出，作者认为志愿者服务时长并不重要。故选D。

解析
【分析】
这是一篇关于志愿服务的议论文阅读理解，可分题型梳理解题思路：
1. 补全文章题：需结合空格前后内容，前文指出部分人只在意志愿服务时长却不了解服务内容，后文强调帮助他人应聚焦改善社区、自我成长，因此空格句要承上启下，引出“帮助他人不应只看数字”的观点。
2. 词义猜测题：要依托句子语境，根据文章反对功利性志愿的态度，从“You should think about helping others, not about how it will benefit you.”推测出单词是“对自己有好处”的含义。
3. 细节理解题：回归原文对应段落，找到大学和工作单位对人选的描述，匹配选项中“真正带来改变”的表述。
4. 细节理解题：定位最后一段作者的建议，明确作者反对“因为不得不去帮忙”的做法，反向选出错误选项。
5. 观点态度题：寻找作者直接表述的语句，如“忘记时长，因为不重要”“数字改变不了世界”，以此判断作者态度。
【解析】
1. 补全文章题：前文提及部分人只关注志愿服务时长、不了解服务内容的问题，后文表明帮助他人更应着眼于改善社区、学会成为有担当的人，空格处需引出“帮助他人不应只看数字”的过渡观点，选项B符合语境。
2. 词义猜测题：根据第二段“You should think about helping others, not about how it will benefit you.”的语境，作者倡导志愿服务要以帮助他人为核心，而非追求自身利益，因此“benefit”意为“对……有好处”，与“be good for”同义，选B。
3. 细节理解题：由第三段“They should ask people to explain, and look for people who really care and try hard, instead of just seeing the hours they've spent.”可知，大学和用人单位应寻找真正用心付出、能为他人带来切实改变的人，而非仅看服务时长，选项C符合原文表述。
4. 细节理解题：根据最后一段“Don't help because you have to but because it's the right thing to do as a person.”可知，作者明确反对“因为不得不才去帮忙”的功利性志愿行为，因此选项A不是学生应有的正确志愿观念。
5. 观点态度题：从最后一段“Try to forget about the hours, because they're not important.”和“tell them that numbers don't change the world”的表述，能直接看出作者认为志愿服务的时长数字并不重要，选D。
