     MONTREAL (Reuters)-Crossing the US-Canada border (边界) to go to church on a Sunday cost a US

citizen $10,000 for breaking Washington's strict new security (安全) rules.

     The expensive trip to church was a surprise for Richard Albert, who lives right on the Canadian border.

Like the other half-dozen people of Township 15, crossing the border is a daily occurrence for Albert. The

nearby Quebec village of St. Pamphile is where they shop, eat and go to church.

     There are many such situations in these areas along the largely unguarded 5,530-mile border between

Canada and the US-which in some cases actually runs down the middle of streets or through buildings.

     As a result, Albert says he did not expect any problems three weeks ago when he returned home to the

US after attending church in Canada, as usual. The US customs (海关) station in this are is closed on

Sundays, so be just drove around the locked gate, as he had done every weekend since the gate appeared

last May, following a tightening of border security. Two days later. Albert was told to go to the customs

office, where an officer told him be had been caught on carnera crossing the border illegally (非法).

     Ottawa has given out special passes to some 300 US citizens in that area so they can enter the country

when Canadian customs stations are closed, but the US stopped a similar program last May. That forces the

people to a 200-mile detour along hilly roads to get home through another border checkpoint.

     Albert has requested that the customs office change their decisions on the fine, but he has not attended a

Sunday church since. "I feel like I'm living in a prison," he said.

     The meaning of the word "volunteer" may be a little different in different countries, but it usually means

"one who offers his or her services." There are many different ways in which people can volunteer, such

as taking care of sick people, working in homes for homeless children, and picking up garbage (垃圾) from

beaches and parks. Volunteers may work within their own countries or in other countries. They are often

people with a strong wish to help those who are less fortunate than themselves. Volunteers don't expect any

kind of pay.

     At the root of volunteering is the idea that one person may have the ability to offer services that can help

other people. Tracy, a good friend of mine, however, recently came back from India with a new idea of

what being a volunteer means. She worked for two and a half weeks in one of Mother Teresa's homes in

Calcutta. The following is her story.

     "I first heard about Mother Teresa in my high school, we watched a video (录像) about her work in India

and all over the world. I was so moved by her spirit to help others and her endless love for every human being

that after I graduated from high school, I too wanted to try her kind of work. So with two friends I flew to

Calcutta for a few weeks."

     "I was asked to work in a home for sick people. I helped wash clothes and sheets, and pass out lunch.

I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer the up. I felt it was better to

share with them than to think that I have helped them. To be honest, I don't think I was helping very much.

It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help, but to learn about and experience another culture

(文化) that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world."

1. According to the text, a volunteer refers to a person who _____.

A. is willing to help those in need without pay

B. can afford to travel to different places

C. has a strong wish to be successful

D. has made a big fortune in life

2. Tracy started her work as a volunteer _____.

A. after she met Mother Teresa

B. after she finished high school

C. when she was touring Calcutta

D. when she was working in a hospital

3. Why did Tracy choose to be a volunteer?

A. She liked to work with Mother Teresa.

B. She had already had some experience.

C. She was asked by Mother Teresa's example.

D. She wanted to follow Mother Teresa's example.

4. What is Tracy's "new idea" (Paragraph 2) of being a volunteer?

A. Going abroad to help the sick.

B. Working in Mother Teresa's home.

C. Doing simple things to help the poor.

D. Improving oneself through helping others.
