Words like "thanks" and "please" have become pet phrases for Na Yuegang. As one of the volunteers at this year’s Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum（论坛）， he assists more than 100 international representatives.

But Na Yuegang is not alone. More than 600 volunteers from 13 universities in Beijing contribute to the APEC meeting, according to Beijing Daily.

Students take advantage of opportunities to put their skills and interests to work at the forum, and in return they gain valuable work experience and connections.

Na Yuegang is an international politics major at Beijing Language and Culture University, and he’s a language enthusiast. In addition to English, he speaks both Thai and Cantonese. He uses his talents to help determine where delegates are from based on their accents.He even gets to use his language skills to communicate with staffers.

Through communicating with delegates, he’s developed a deeper understanding of his college major. “Here, I learn the meeting’s agenda(日程安排), how the delegates work, and get a feel for the atmosphere of this international event.” he says.

"This experience has made me more curious about the relationship between China and other nations," he says "I want to study these relationships, if possible.”

 Xu Han, 21, an English major at Beijing University of Technology, is approaching the conference from a different angle. Her job is to introduce delegates to China’s technological innovations like 3D printing machines produced by technological company Tiertime. She is also in charge of showing off cultural relics and she does it all in English.

Once, she did a lot of preparation for the process behind a carved lacquer ware(漆器制品)technique to meet a Thai representative's curiosity. In only four days, she read more than 100 pages of notes.

Back in September of 2005, on the first day of school, Martha Cochran, a social studies school teacher at Robinson High School, did something unforgettable. On the first day of school, with permission of the school headmaster, she took all of the desks out of the classroom.

The kids came into the first period. They walked in, and there were no desks. They looked around and said, "Ms Cochran, where are our desks?" And she said, "You can't have a desk until you tell me how you earn them.”

They thought, "Well, maybe it's our grades.”

"No," she said.

   "Maybe it's our behavior. "

  And she told them, "No, it's not even your behavior. "

    Second period, the same thing. Third period... By early afternoon television news reporters had gathered in Ms. Cochran’s class to find out about this crazy teacher.

  The last period of the day, Martha Cochran gathered her class. They were at this time sitting on the ground floor around the sides of the room. "Throughout the day no one has really understood how you earn the ordinary desks in this classroom." she said, "Now I'm going to tell you. "

   Martha Cochran went to the door of the classroom and opened it, and as she did, twenty-seven adults, who were fathers or mothers of the kids, walked into that classroom, each one having a school desk. And they placed those school desks in rows. And when they finished placing those desks, those kids for the first time in their lives understood how they earned those desks.

   Martha said, "You don't have to earn those desks. They did it for you. They put them out there for you, but it's up to you to sit here responsibly to learn, to be good students and good citizens, because they paid a price for you to have that desk, and don't ever forget it! "

25. Why did Cochran take all the desks out of the classroom?

   A. Because she wanted to punish the kids.

  B. Because she wanted to let kids know how they earned the desks.

    C. Because kids didn't need any desks at her classes.

    D. Because the desks were all broken.

26. Who give kids to have a chance to get education?

  A. Teachers.     B. The headmaster.      C. Kids themselves.    D. Kids' parents.
