All around the world，an increasing number of people are spending their time taking part in online volunteering projects.What encourages them to help strangers without expectations of money or even thanks?
Radha Taralekar helped teach Imelda how to protect herself from HIV，though the two have never met and neither knows the other's name.Taralekar received no payment for the job.For Taralekar，the project gave her the chance to use her professional experience.“I want to serve people with my medical knowledge，”she said.
For some，the inspiration to volunteer online was far more personal.After losing his wife who got cancer，Tony Selman spent many hours online helping Cancer Research to collect information on the illness.“Seeing how painful she was when my wife was ill，I decided to help scientists find a way to treat cancer，”he said.
Interests and hobbies are also the reasons.Sam Luk joined other online volunteers to try to help the police solve murder cases.“I am interested in this and I love Sherlock Holmes，”said Luk.
For the writer Clay Shirky，some large online volunteering projects help millions of people，giving him a sense of achievement.He helps write Wikipedia，the world's biggest encyclopedia (百科全书)，which is written by people willing to use their professional knowledge. 【语篇解读】 现在有许多人在网上做志愿服务，帮助素不相识的陌生人。 1．We can know that Radha Taralekar may be a ________． A．teacher C．writer

“Hurry, mummy! Let's go trick－or－treat！” My daughter waited by the door in her pink princess costume while I prayed in the living room. Usually I liked taking her out on Halloween, but this year I was sad. I was worried about my mother, who was in China on vacation. I got a call that afternoon that she had slipped and fallen on the hard floor of her hotel and broken her leg. She was taken to a hospital in Beijing. Mum was nervous because she couldn't understand any of the doctors. If only I could do something to help her!
I knew I couldn't let my worries ruin my daughter's fun. There was nothing I could do for Mum except pray, I thought. We left the house and headed down the block.I was so upset that I barely took notice of the kids around me. There came the man

He raised his eyebrows. “Beijing, you said？” he asked. I nodded. He smiled. “Believe it or not, my sister is a doctor at an English－speaking hospital there.If you want, I'll make a call right away and we'll try and get your mum transferred (转移). ”
A few days later I sat in the living room with my daughter as she finished the last of the candy. “Mummy, how far away is China？” she asked. “Not as far as I thought，” I said.

C Countless people long to make a difference this holiday season, yet they don't realize that opportunities to make a difference are everywhere. Here are some ideas to get you started.
Organize a blank drive It is cold outside, but imagine how thousands of homeless people may feel without a home of their own，or even a blanket to keep them from the cold. Organize a blank drive for your local homeless, and ask around for donations! Practise random acts of kindness I'll never forget the time when I went to pay for my Dr Pepper, but the server resisted, saying my bill was paid by an anonymous (匿名的) guest. It's this random act of kindness that restores my faith in humanity. Bless someone by paying for their drink at Starbucks, or praising them! If you live somewhere where it snows, shovel your neighbour's snow out of their driveway for them! Whether it is as simple as praise or as complex as paying the bill, you'll never know how far your impact will reach.
Say thank you
Just a simple thank－you can make_somebody's_day，especially if they feel like
