Door-Knocking

Door-knocking is the most effective way of making face-to-face community

contact, but it has become a lost art. With the recent focus on customer privacy,

door-knocking seems like an intrusion into other people's lives. But those who try

it for the first time are usually surprised by the pleasant reception they receive.

Here are some suggestions that will help you promote your services face-toface.

BEFORE YOU GO OUT

◆ Begin with a door hanger

Try leaving a door hanger two days before you go door-knocking. It should

briefly describe the project and say that someone will be around in person.

◆ Wear an official name tag

Door-knockers should wear name tags with the logo of their organization. The

best name tags will also include a color photo and the name of the caller.

◆ Have people knock their own blocks

The easiest way to do door-knocking is to try your local area first. Being a

neighbor creates an immediate connection with the person answering the door;

after that, everything else is easy.

◆ Find a good excuse to door-knock

A short survey about local concerns or a current project is a good excuse.

Figure out responses for various situations. What if the person who answers the

door cannot speak English? What if a child answers the door?

WHEN YOU GO OUT

◆ When to go and what to do first

The best times to knock are usually Saturdays. On other days, after dinner is

ideal. When someone answers the door, smile and introduce yourself; say you are

a volunteer and, if it helps, state where you live. Give the name of your

organization and, briefly, the reason for the visit.

◆ State what action the other person should take and the benefits

Tell the person what they need to do and how their actions will benefit

themselves and others. If a person hesitates, emphasize benefits you've already

mentioned and then, if necessary, add further benefits. If a person agrees, follow

up immediately. If possible, get a donation, a signature, or a promise.

◆ Record contact information on the spot

Record names, addresses, e-mail addresses, phone numbers, and responses to

questions on the spot. You won't remember them later!

解析:

1.这是一道理解题。本题询问“为什么作者说'敲门'”是一门失传的艺术”。此题信息

对应文章第一段的第二句话With the recent focus on customer privacy,

door-knocking seems like an intrusion into other people's lives,因为近来,大家都

注重隐私,“敲门”看起来是对他们生活的一种打扰。所以选B。

2.这是一道细节题。本题询问“敲门的第一步应该做什么”。此题信息对应文章“before

you go out”副标题下的信息,按照内容先后顺序,“a door hanger”是第一步,所以选

C。

3.这是一道词义判断题。本题询问“on the spot”的含义,三个选项都是这个词组的

解释,但是根据后文推断,这个标题的意思“马上记录下联系信息”,选项A“没有耽误”

更符合句意,所以选A。

4.这是一道推断题。本题询问“哪个时间不适合敲门”。参考第二个副标题when you

go out的第一个小标题,作者提到“The best times to knock are usually Saturdays. On

other days, after dinner is ideal”, 由此可以推断,最不适合敲门的时间既不是星期六也

不是晚饭后,是星期一早晨,所以选B。

5.这是一道推断题。本题询问“哪一位尝试敲门的人会受到愉悦的招待”。此题需要纵

览全文,熟悉如何做好“敲门”工作后,根据上下文推断出,一位做好充分准备,并且介

绍给他人的事物是足够有意义的,理由充分的会受到欢迎,所以选C。

Community Service

Community service is a service or activity which is performed by someone or a

group of people for the benefit of the public or public organizations.

While volunteers may provide community service, not everyone taking part in

a community service program is a volunteer, because not everyone is doing it

through their own choice. Sometimes people are asked to do it by:

• their government, as part of a citizenship requirement instead of military

service;

• the courts and other criminal justice punishments;

• their school, to meet the requirements of a class, or to meet the

requirements of graduation, or, in the case of parents, required to provide a certain

number of hours of service in order for their child to be enrolled in a school or

sports team.

There are also people providing community service, but they receive some

form of payment in return for their work.

Youth community service

Community service performed by young people, also known as youth service,

is intended to strengthen young peoples' senses of civic engagement and

community, and to help them achieve their educational, developmental and social

goals.

High school graduation

Many educational institutions in the United States require students to perform

community service hours to graduate from high school. In some high schools in

Washington State, for example, students must complete 60 hours of community

service to receive a diploma.

Conditions of participation

Contribution of service is a condition of enrollment in some programs. Most

commonly, parents may be required to serve for their child to be enrolled in a

school or sports team.

Colleges

Though technically not a requirement, many colleges make community service

an unofficial requirement for acceptance. However, some colleges prefer work

experience over community service, and some require that their students also

participate in community service in order to graduate.

操作提示:句子正确选择下拉选项框为“T”;句子错误选择下拉选项框为“F”。

1. The organizer is the beneficiary of community service.

2. Some people who take part in community services are not volunteers.

3. Most of the youth who volunteer in community service are motivated by

personal purposes.

4. In some high schools, students must complete certain hours of community

service to receive a diploma.

5. Every university considers community service is the most important

experience for students among other practices, like internship.

解析:

1. 这是一道推断题。本题询问社区服务的受益者是活动的组织者。beneficiary受益

人。从文章的第一段for the benefit of the public or public organizations来看,本题

陈述的不对,所以选F。

2. 这是一道归纳题。从文章第二段到第六段,列举了参与社区服务的各类人员,我们

可以得知,参与社区服务并不一定是自愿活动,所以选T。

3. 这是一道细节题。本题询问年轻人社区服务的目的。一般对于细节题,我们需要查

找信息所对应的句子或者句群。此题信息对应文章副标题Youth community service和第

七段,即“年轻人参与社区服务的目的”,所以选F。

4. 这是一道细节题。文章副标题High school graduation和第八段中的60小时已

经告知读者需参加一定量的社区服务,所以选T。

5. 这是一道推断题。从文章第九段的三条信息,大多数高校招生时要求不一。所以选

F。
