Unit 4 Sharing The world is not made of bricks and mortar (泥浆). It is made up of people interacting ( 相 互 影 响 ) with each other and supporting each other. Each year volunteer workers put in hundreds of thousands of hours in a huge range of activities. Sometimes they are in formal organizations; more often they are simply helping out those in the neighborhood less fortunate than themselves. What they have in common is that they are doing their volunteer work because they want to, not because they are paid.International Volunteer Day celebrates one of the most honorable jobs in the world — being a volunteer. Many notforprofit and nongovernment organizations rely on the devotion of volunteers and International Volunteer Day gives these organizations an opportunity to acknowledge (认可) their efforts.The United Nations General Assembly (联合国大会) established International Volunteer Day in 1985.
