SickKids High School Volunteer Programs
SickKids offers dynamic programs tailored for high school students eager to make a difference. Whether during the summer break or the academic year, these initiatives provide an opportunity for students to gain hands-on experience and contribute to our community in meaningful ways.
The Summer Volunteer Program
This program provides two main types of roles to meet different interests. First, in Hospital Support roles, students assist in services like the Family Centre or Gift Shop to help create a warm atmosphere. Alternatively, those in Child Life roles engage in play activities and assist in keeping a safe playroom. Note that volunteers in Child Life roles must be willing to put on necessary equipment, such as masks and clothes, as many placements require entering isolation rooms (隔离室).
The Co-op Program
Unlike the summer option, this program offers Grades 11 and 12 students the chance to get involved in health-care or research careers during their regular school terms. Students earn academic credits while participating in hands-on positions that may include office work, interacting with patients, or doing research in the Hospital and Research Institute.
Qualification Requirements
To be considered for either program, applicants must meet specific criteria. You must be currently a high school student and be at least 16 years old by the start of the program. For the Summer Program, volunteers must commit to working three hours every weekday (Monday to Friday) throughout July or August. Due to the program’s intensive nature, we are strictly unable to accommodate absences. Therefore, please consider any personal conflicts, such as summer courses or family vacations, before applying.
Application Information
The Summer Program runs in two separate sessions: July 2-31 and August 1-31. However, applications for both months must be submitted online in March. The program is highly competitive, with around 400 applicants competing for only 50 summer spots.
36. What common feature do the volunteer programs at SickKids have
A. They both help with school coursework.
B. They both provide practical experience.

Zhu Yancheng, a native of Anhui province, has founded Lanvita, an AI-driven memoir (回忆录) platform for the elderly.
The seed of Zhu’s startup was planted by a personal experience. “My father was eager to keep his memories safe. Soon, the process of organizing everything on a computer — which he wasn’t used to — proved a real challenge and began to wear him out.” Zhu recalled. Her father’s difficulty made Zhu wonder how many other seniors shared this wish but were held back by technology.
To test this assumption, she carried out a survey. The results revealed that 27.8 percent of surveyed seniors are willing to purchase memoir products for themselves, while 30.7 percent of adult children intend to buy them for their parents. “What began as a personal goal for my father was, in fact, pointing toward a wider social phenomenon.” she said.
With a background in AI, Zhu developed Lanvita as a WeChat mini-program. To bridge the digital gap, she then cooperated with local communities, nursing homes, and other institutions to host offline trial sessions, allowing seniors to experience the memoir-creation process firsthand and receive completed versions of their stories shortly afterward.
One participant who left a strong impression on Zhu was 89-year-old GongGuoping. Gong has lived through a life full of ups and downs, including war and major family changes, while also witnessing the development and transformation of Hefei, where he has spent his whole life. “Through Mr. Gong’s eyes, the memoir goes far beyond a personal story, becoming a historical mirror that reflects the century-long transformation of his hometown.” Zhu said.
Zhu believes that meaningful products can only be created by engaging directly with elderly users and truly listening to their stories. “Face-to-face, offline services are far more effective than endless online advertisements,” Zhu noted.
After the trial sessions, many seniors recommended Lanvita to friends, helping the platform grow. Through her interactions with seniors, Zhu found that although older adults may adopt AI more slowly, they are still curious and willing to try new technologies. “In this field, what we truly need is not necessarily smarter AI, but more understanding AI,” she concluded.
41. What directly drove Zhu to create the platform Lanvita
A. Her professional background in AI.
B. A request from local nursing homes.
C. A survey on senior consumption habits.
D. Her father’s struggle with digital tools.
42. Which of the following best describes the findings of Zhu’s survey
A. There’s a widespread demand for memoir products.
B. Technology remains a major barrier for most seniors.
C. Adult children use more memoir products than seniors.
D. Seniors prefer WeChat mini-programs to computers.
43. What does Zhu realize from Mr. Gong’s memoir
A. The record of urban development.
B. The sufferings caused by wars.
C. The link between personal stories and history.
D. The difficulty for seniors to recall their youth.
44. What can be inferred about Lanvita’s operation
A. It includes AI knowledge from its users.
B. It gains users through offline services.
C. It targets seniors with computer skills.
D. It relies on online advertisements.
45. What message does Zhu want to convey in the last paragraph
A. AI should be designed with a human touch.
B. Seniors can master new technology with ease.
C. Technology will soon make eldercare simple.
D. Smarter AI will decide the future of eldercare.
C
A quantum battery (量子电池) has been built within a quantum computer, marking a significant step toward determining if it could one day power future quantum technologies.
Conventional batteries store energy through chemical reactions. Quantum batteries, however, rely on tiny particles called quantum bits (qubits, 量子比特). Instead of chemicals, these batteries store energy by focusing on the various ways these particles can stay in at the same time — a phenomenon called superposition (叠加). This unique process may lead to better battery performance.
Some studies have shown that using these special features can result in faster charging, but the practicality of such quantum batteries remains an open question.
“Many future quantum technologies will need their own versions of batteries,” says Dian Tan, a researcher in Hefei, China. “While we have made great progress in building quantum computers, the way these systems store energy has not been fully explored.”
Tan and his team built a prototype using 12 superconducting qubits arranged in a network, where energy was stored in the collective quantum state of the system. The researchers tested two different charging methods. One worked like a conventional battery, while the second one took advantage of the interactions between qubits. The team found that the second method allowed the battery to charge more efficiently, gaining more power in less time. This suggests that these unique interactions could be the key to better battery performance in the quantum world.
Despite these promising lab results, translating them into practical advantages is challenging. “Comparing conventional batteries with quantum ones is difficult,” says Dominik Safranek at Charles University in the Czech Republic. In his view, the path from laboratory breakthroughs to everyday consumer products remains unclear.
Tan sees his battery as a perfect match for future quantum computers. Now, the researchers want to combine their battery with a quantum heat engine. This device would produce energy to be stored in the battery, creating a self-sustaining system within a quantum computer.
46. How do quantum batteries store energy differently from conventional ones
A. By using different particle states. B. By improving chemical reactions.
C. By adding more storage units. D. By reducing the battery size.
47. Why did Tan’s team test two different charging methods
A. To make the conventional battery system efficient.
B. To find the best state for the quantum batteries.
C. To simplify the conventional charging process.
D. To explore the advantage of quantum interactions.
48. What is Dominik Safranek’s view on quantum batteries
A. Their value remains to be proven. B. Their performance is difficult to judge.
C. Their practical application is challenging. D. Their lab result seems unsuccessful.
49. What will Tan’s team probably do next
A. Put the battery into a quantum computer. B. Build a new classical heat engine.
C. Make their charging methods better. D. Link the battery to a heat engine.
50. What is the main idea of the text
A. The status and future of conventional batteries.
B. The potential and challenges of quantum batteries.
C. The chemical principles behind conventional storage.
D. The guaranteed success of fast quantum charging.
D
Back in the day, understanding required construction. If you wanted clarity, you had to build it from the inside out, struggling with ambiguity (模糊) and uncertainty longer than feels comfortable. This “cognitive (认知的) building” emerged brick by brick and thought by thought. That work wasn’t a barrier to thought; it was the architecture of thought itself. The distance between a question and its answer shaped judgment, because the journey required the brick and mortar of human cognition.
Today, however, that journey faces greater competition than ever. Artificial intelligence (AI) produces complete and often persuasive structures, bypassing the labor-intensive process of gathering bits of information or interpreting subtle clues.
These AI-generated structures mix perfectly into our mental models. When answers are delivered rather than constructed, something profound shifts in the experience of reasoning. The word “easy” now borders on “cheap.” For the first time the logical flow can simply be picked, not built bit by bit.
This shift is not a moral failing, but rather a natural adjustment. Our minds have commonly saved energy when lower-cost pathways were available. Yet, this redistribution of cognitive cost can change habits over time. Fluency may begin to take priority over depth merely because it arrives effortlessly. It reflects an environment in which the “energetic balance” between constructing knowledge and selecting information has been fundamentally broken.
In the context of AI, human thought remains possible, but it now requires deliberately choosing the higher-effort route. Today’s challenge lies in choosing between accepting AI’s fluent answer and enduring the discomfort of deeper thought.
Historically, every major cognitive technology has redistributed mental effort. Writing externalized (外化) memory, calculators externalized arithmetic and search engines externalized searching for information. Now, AI externalizes structured completion itself. When technology changes what costs effort, minds reorganize accordingly. The question isn’t whether to ban AI, but whether we recognize the invisible shift it introduces. Our capacity for deep, self-reflective thought stays strong, but it no longer sustains itself automatically. In a world where answers are conveniently pre-built, genuine depth demands self-awareness and, above all, the willingness to take the more demanding path.
51. The author uses the phrase “brick and mortar” in Para.1 to ________.
A. describe a physical process B. stress needed thinking skills
C. show how understanding is built D. explain how AI works perfectly
52. What is a direct consequence of relying on AI-generated answers
A. Deep thinking needs to be chosen on purpose.
B. Our minds become unable to accept new ideas.
C. Logical reasoning puts too much pressure on us.
D. People’s interest in technology starts to drop.
53. What is the author’s opinion of the cognitive shift caused by AI
A. A necessary moral correction. B. A natural effort-saving adjustment.
C. A cause of memory problems. D. A tool for energy balance analysis.
54. With the examples in the last paragraph, the writer intends to ________.
A. argue against the use of AI B. warn against the loss of thought
C. prove the role of technology D. show the shift in mental effort
55. What could be the best title for the passage
A. AI: A Better Way to Think. B. Deep Thought: Building or Picking.
C. The Age of Easy Answers. D. The Path to Deep Thinking.
