    Conor Grennan was unwilling to be a volunteer. The 29-year-old American was not sure if he had the skills or a strong feeling for it
However, he went to work at an orphanage(孤儿院) in Nepal. His first thought was to make people impressed.
    "I thought that if I volunteered just once, I could retell the story over and over," Grennan said in a Huffington Post article
   However, his three-month stay in the orphanage turned into an unusual experience. It was in 2004 and Grennan had given up his job to begin a year-long around-the-world trip. His first three months were spent in Nepal.
   When he arrived in the village, he knew nothing about the children or the local culture. When he opened the gate of the Little Princes Children's Home, he was faced by the excited children.
   The young American ended up caring for 18 children. He later discovered that they were trafficked(被拐卖的) children. So he walked through the mountains with great difficulty to find the kids' families. "I started walking with photos of the kids," he told the Reuter's reporter. "I would show up in villages and show photographs around. I went with 24 photos, and I found 24 families. "
    At the same time, he put his heart into Nepalese culture.
   Grennan said, "Volunteering is the single best way to see how the rest of the world lives."
   He also encouraged others to do what he had done. He believes that volunteering needs only making decisions to show up.
   Grennan's fight against child-trafficking has changed him. His book, Little Prince, came out last week.

根据短文内容回答下列各问题。

Ma Hua graduated from Fudan University. He had a good career in IT and a great life in Shanghai, but he felt there was something missing from his life. He wanted to help others to improve their lives, so in March 2013 he gave up his job. Then he moved to south-west China to do voluntary work in a village primary school.

He soon became an important member of the local people. In his class, he painted pictures on the walls to help students remember English words. He also spent his money building a playground for the children.

Ma Hua quickly got used to his new life. He got great satisfaction(满意) from his work and felt very happy, even though life there was hard—he had to melt(融化) ice for water and grow vegetables for food. When he was free, he wrote poems describing the peace and beauty around him. Sometimes he would go walking in the mountains and enjoy the beautiful view. Sadly Ma Hua was killed in a car accident in July 2014 at the age of 31. His death was a great loss to all those who knew him, but it is a comfort to know that he lived happily, doing what he loved and enriching the lives of others.

Peter lived in a village. He was sad recently because he thought that he had nothing left. One day, Peter went to ask a wise man for help. He said to the wise man, "I have nothing left, so I don't want to live." The wise man smiled sympathetically(同情地).

The wise man took out a piece of paper and drew a straight line down the middle. He explained that he would write down the things Peter had lost on the left side and the things Peter still had on the right side.

The wise man asked, "When did your family leave you?"

"What do you mean? They haven't left me. They love me!"

"That's great!" said the wise man. "Then that will be the first thing on the right side -Family haven't left. Now, do you have freedom(自由)?"

"That's a silly question. Of course I do!"

"Good! That's the second one on the right side-You have freedom!" said the wise man, writing it down.

After Peter was asked some more questions in the same way, he finally understood and smiled. "Things will change when you think of them in a different way!" he said.

As a matter of fact, change your attitude and you will change your world. It's necessary to have a positive(积极的)attitude to life.
