请阅读下面短文,根据所提供的信息,回答五个问题。要求所写答案语法正确、信息完整切题。
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 rubbish from beaches or parks.Volunteers may work within their own countries or in other countries.They are usually 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 offer services to 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 Calcutta.
“I was asked to work in a home for sick people.I helped wash the clothes and sheets, and pass out lunch.I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer them up.I felt it was better to share with them than to think that I had helped them.So, I don’t think I was helping very much.It was then that I knew that I had not really come to help, but to learn about and experience another culture that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world,” said Tracy.
1.What does the word “volunteer” usually mean

2.Whom do volunteers usually help

3.How long did Tracy work in Calcutta

4.Where was Tracy asked to work

5.What did Tracy learn about during the volunteer work in India
