I used to volunteer at a children's hospital in Cape Town, South Africa. My job was to tell children (1) and talk with them during their stay in the hospital. Sounds interesting, right? But some people don't understand (2) I did it.
In fact, the reason is not complicated: I was just trying to make those sick kids happy. Because of busy work or having other children to take care of, their parents couldn't always be with them. So they (3) had to face the difficulties alone. I knew that getting sick caused them a lot of pain, so I wanted (4) my best to make their stay as comfortable as possible. It didn't take much effort to talk to them, but it helped them relax and feel less (5) .
Volunteering in Africa not only opened my eyes to other parts of the planet, but also showed (6) a side of the world I didn't know before. I met people (7) different backgrounds and I became very close to them. We shared our (8) memories and experiences with each other. After I (9) to my country, I told my friends about my volunteer experience, hoping to encourage more people to learn about and join in volunteer activities. After all, there are so many people in (10) in the world.

(1)stories
(2)why
(3)usually
(4)to try
(5)afraid
(6)me
(7)from
(8)wonderful
(9)returned
(10)need

（1）根据句意“我的工作是在孩子们住院期间给他们讲故和与他们交谈”，结合选项，story“故事”符合语境，此处不是单指一个故事，所以要用复数形式stories。
（2）根据下文“In fact, the reason is not complicated”可知，此处是指有些人不理解“我”为什么这么做，所以选why，意为“为什么”。
（3）根据上文“Because of busy work or having other children to take care of, their parents couldn't always be with them.”可知，此处是指孩子们“通常”独自面对困难，所以选usually，意为“通常”。
（4）根据语境可知，此处是指“我”想尽“我”最大的努力，try one's best为固定搭配，意为“尽某人最大努力”，want to do sth.为固定搭配，意为“想要做某事”，所以这里要用动词不定式to try。
（5）根据上文“I knew that getting sick caused them a lot of pain”可知，此处是指和他们交谈能帮助他们放松，减少“害怕”，feel为系动词，其后要接形容词作表语，所以选afraid，意为“害怕的”。
（6）根据语境可知，此处是指“在非洲做志愿者不仅让‘我’看到了地球的其他地方，也让‘我’看到了‘我’以前不知道的世界的一面”，show sb. sth.为固定搭配，意为“向某人展示某物”，所以此处要选“I”的宾格形式me，作动词showed的宾语。
（7）根据语境可知，此处是指“我”遇到了来自不同背景的人，from“来自”符合语境，所以填from。
（8）根据语境可知，此处是指“我们”彼此分享“我们”美好的回忆和经历，此处要用形容词wonderful“美好的”修饰名词memories，意为“回忆”。
（9）根据下文“I told my friends about my volunteer experience”可知，此处是指“我”回到“我”的国家后，return to为固定搭配，意为“返回”，且根据下文的told可知，此处要用一般过去时，所以填returned。
（10）根据语境可知，此处是指毕竟，世界上有那么多人需要帮助，in need为固定搭配，意为“需要帮助的”，所以填need。

Helping others makes the world wonderful
In our daily life, we often help others, and also get help from others.

Helping others is a great virtue. It not only warms others but also helps us grow. Last term, I helped my classmate Li Ming with his English. He was weak in English, so I spent an hour every day explaining grammar and practicing dialogues with him. After two months, his English improved a lot. I felt very happy and proud. When we help others, we make the world full of love and kindness. Let's keep helping others!
