1．Vanuatu is an island nation in the South Pacific.It is one of the smallest countries in the world.But for those who are interested in adventure and sport，there is a lot to do.Vanuatu's islands offer visitors two of the most exciting and dangerous activities in the world：volcano（火山） surfing and land diving.
Volcano Surfing
On Tanna Island，Mount Yasur rises 300 meters into the sky.Yasur is an active volcano，and it erupts（噴發(fā)） almost every day，sometimes several times a day.For centuries，people have climbed this mountain to visit the top.Recently，people have also started climbing Yasur to surf the volcano.In some ways，volcano surfing is like surfing in the sea，but in other ways it is very different.
Land Diving
Most people are familiar with bungee jumping，but do you know bungee jumping started on Pentecost Island in Vanuatu and is almost fifteen centuries old？The activity，first called land diving，is part of a religious ceremony（儀式）.A man ties tree vines（樹藤） to his legs.He then jumps head-first from a high tower to touch the earth with the top of his head--without breaking the vine.Every spring，island natives （men only） still take part in this amazing activity.

2．I remember watching TV and seeing other children suffer in other parts of the world when I was a very little child.I would talk to myself， "When I grow up，when I can become rich，I'll save kids all over the world."
At the age of 17，I began my career here in America，and by 18，I started my first charity organization.I went on to team up with other organizations in the following years，and met，helped，and even lost some of the most beautiful souls，from six-year-old Jasmina Anema who passed away in 2010 from leukemia（白血?。?--her story inspired thousands to volunteer as donors，to 2012 when my grandmother lost her battle with cancer，which is the very reason and the driving force behind the Clara Lionel Foundation （CLF）.We're all human.And we all just want a chance：a chance at life，a chance in education，a chance at a future，really.And at CLF，our mission is to impact as many lives as possible，but it starts with just one.
People make it seem too hard to do charity work.The truth is，you don't have to be rich to help others.You don't need to be famous.You don't even have to be college-educated.But it starts with your neighbor，the person right next to you，the person sitting next to you in class，the kid down the block in your neighborhood.You just do whatever you can to help in any way that you can.And today，I want to challenge each of you to make a commitment to help one person，one organization，one situation that touches your heat.My grandmother always used to say， "If you've got a dollar，there's plenty to share."
（1）What did the author want to do at a young age？

D．Grow up quickly.

C．Her grandmother's death of cancer.

（3）What does the underlined word "one"in Paragraph 2 refer to？
A．A life.
B．A chance.
C．A task.
D．An organization.
（4）What does the author suggest people do in the last paragraph？
A．Do charity work when you are rich.
