       Each nation has many good people who help to take care of others.For example,some high school and college students in the U.S.A. often spend many hours as volunteers in the hospitals,orphanages(孤儿院)or rest homes.They read books to the people in these places,or they just visit them and play games with them or listen to their problems.
       Other young volunteers go and work in the homes of people who are sick or old.They paint,clean up or repair their houses,do their shopping or mow(割;修剪)their lawns.For boys who no longer have fathers,there is an organization called Big Brothers.College students and other men take these boys to baseball games or fishing trip and help them get to know things that boys usually learn from their fathers.
       Each city has a number of clubs where boys and girls can go to play games.Some of these clubs show films or organize short trips to the mountains or some places of interest.Most of these clubs use a lot of high school and college students as volunteers because they are young enough to know the problems and needs of young boys and girls.
Volunteers believe that some of the happiest people in the world are those who help to bring happiness to others.

    A lady in an old cotton dress and her husband, dressed in an old suit, stepped off the train in Boston, and walked into the president of Harvard's outer office. The secretary could tell in a moment that such country people had no business at Harvard. She frowned(皱眉). “We want to see the president,” the man said softly. “He'll be busy all day,” the secretary said coldly. “We'll wait,” the lady replied.
    For hours, the secretary didn't talk to them, hoping that the couple would finally become tired and go away. They didn't. And the secretary finally decided to disturb the president. “Maybe if they just see you for a few minutes, they'll leave,” she told him. He frowned too. Someone of his importance obviously didn't have the time to spend with them.
    The president walked toward them unwillingly. The lady told him, “We had a son that attended Harvard for one year. He loved Harvard, and was very happy here. But he was accidentally killed. And my husband and I would like to set up a memorial(纪念碑) to him somewhere on campus. ”The president was so surprised that he shouted sharply, “We can't put up a statue(塑像) for every person who attended Harvard and died. This place would look like a cemetery (墓地).
   “Oh, no” the lady explained, “We don't want to build a statue. We thought we would give a building to Harvard.” The president rolled his eyes. He glanced at their plain clothes, and said with surprise, “A building! Do you have any idea how much a building costs? We have over seven and a half million dollars in the physical buildings here at Harvard.”
    For a moment the lady was silent. The president was pleased. He could get rid of them now. The lady turned to her husband and said quietly. “Is that all it costs to start a university? Why don't we just start our own?” Her husband nodded. Mr. and Mrs. Leland Stanford walked away, traveling to Palo Alto, California where they set up the university with their name, Stanford University, a memorial to a son that Harvard no longer cared about.
