Answer 1

She said helping others changed her life.
Teaching high school students in a poor mountain village in Gansu Province may not sound like fun to you. However, it changed the life of Yang Lei from Beijing. The Peking University graduate first went there as a volunteer on a one-year program. The program was started by the Ministry of Education and the Chinese Young pioneers. Every year they send 100 volunteers to teach in China’s rural areas.
Life in the mountains was a new experience for Yang Lei. Her village was 2,000 meters above sea level, and at first the thin air made her feel sick. The food was very simple----teachers ate porridge three times a day. Fortunately, Yang Lei’s mother __agreed___ with her. She said that both she and her husband thought this was a good idea. “Young people today need to experience __different___ things,” she said.
Most of the pupils live in school dormitories. They work very hard. They get up at 5am and read books until 11pm. They love having the volunteer teachers there. “There is no difference between you and them,” says yang Lei. “They say that we are like big __brothers_ or sisters to them, and they feel lucky.”
Some of the students may not be able to go to senior high school or college. Families are poor and there often isn’t money for education. “I can’t do anything about that,” says Yang lei, “but I can open up my students’ eyes to the outside world and give them a good start in life.” She said she likes being a good influence in the children’s lives.
Yang Lei enjoyed her time as a volunteer very much. When her year was over, she said that she would return to the area after finishing her studies. She now works as a math teacher at a high school in the city of Pingliang, Gansu Province.
她说帮助别人改变了她的一生
在甘肃省的一个贫穷的小山村教中学生对你来说听来可能没什么乐趣。不过，他改变了来自北京杨磊的生活。北京大学首先作为在一个一年计划中的志愿者去那里。这项活动是由教育部和中国少年先锋队发起的。每年他们派100位志愿者到中国的农村地区去任教。
山中的生活对杨磊来说是一次新的经历。它的村庄海拔2000米，起初稀薄的空气让他觉得很难受。食品非常简单，---- 教师一天三次都是粥。幸好，杨磊的母亲支持他，她说她和她的丈夫认为这是一种好的想法。“今天的年轻人有必要经历不同的事情。” 她说。
大多数小学生住在学校宿舍里。他们学习很刻苦。他们早晨5点起床一直学到晚上11点。他们喜欢有志愿者教师到那里。“你和他们之间没什么区别，” 杨雷说。“他们说我们像他们的大哥哥和大姐姐，并且他们感到很幸运。”
一些学生可能不上高中或者大学。家庭贫困，通常也没有钱来读书。“我对此感到无能为力。”杨雷说，“但是我能让我的学生开阔眼界，并且给他们的生活一个好的起点。” 他说他喜欢给孩子们的一生留下好的影响。
杨雷很喜欢他作为以为志愿者的日子.一年的支援生活结束后,他说在完成它的研究之后,他将返回该地区.他现在是甘肃平梁市某高中的一名数学教师。
