阅读表达（共1小题；每小题10分， 满分10分）

• 24．Walter was always sitting in the same chair when I came to visit．He would look up and smile when he saw me and pat the chair next to him for me to sit down．He loved to tell me about his lost golden years when he was an excellent baseball player．I was a good listener．After a couple of hours of talking，I would shake his hands and say goodbye to him．I hoped that I brought a little sunshine into Walter's life．
      I met Walter when I was a high school student participating in a volunteer program with elderly people in a nursing home．It was the first of many such activities，ranging from playing with disabled children to sitting with cancer patients in a hospital．These activities seemed to satisfy my desire to be useful and to feel a meaningful connection to the lives of others．
      My parents inculcated me with a belief that there was no greater human value than kindness，and encouraged me to make helping others and contributing to society important goals in life．Volunteer work provided a way of attempting to realize the truth of these messages．
      I learned that volunteerism is not a one-way act of helping someone less fortunate．Involvement in the life of another person has enriched my life as well．Seeing how people deal with the challenges of their lives has taught me valuable lessons in courage and dignity．Many of the people whom I have met as a volunteer are an unforgettable part of my life．Perhaps I received far more than I ever gave．
      This is why volunteerism works - each of us has so much need for human connection and so much to give to others．
  
  （1）What did the author do every time he visited Walter？ （no more than 10 words）

  
  （2）What was the first activity the author got involved in as a volunteer？ （no more than 10 words）

  
  （3）What is the meaning of the underlined word in Paragraph 3？ （1 word）

  
  （4）What is the main idea of Paragraph 4？ （no more than 10 words）

  
  （5）If you are to be a volunteer，what will you do？What can you benefit from the volunteer work？（no more than 20 words）
