Its very likely that youll want to have volunteers to help with the organ

26、izations activities. To do so, it should help to understand why people undertake volunteer work and what keeps their interest in the work.Lets begin with the question of why people volunteer. Researchers have identified several factors that motivate people to get involved. For example, people volunt

27、eer to express personal values related to unselfishness, to expand their range of experiences, and to strengthen social relationships. If volunteer positions do not meet these needs, people may not wish to participate. To select volunteers, you may need to understand the motivations of the people yo

28、u wish to attract.People also volunteer because they are required to do so. To increase levels of community service, some schools have launched compulsory volunteer programs. Unfortunately, these programs can shift peoples wish of participation from an internal factor (e.g. “I volunteer because its

29、important to me”) to an external factor (e.g. “I volunteer because Im required to do so”). When that happens, people become less likely to volunteer in the future. People must be sensitive to this possibility when they make volunteer activities a must.Once people begin to volunteer, what leads them

30、to remain in their positions over time? To answer this question, researchers have conducted follow-up studies in which they track volunteers over time. For instance, one study followed 238 volunteers in Florida over a year. One of the most important factors that influenced their satisfaction as volu

31、nteers was the amount of suffering they experienced in their volunteer positions. Although this result may not surprise you, it leads to important practical advice. The researchers note that attention should be given to “training methods that would prepare volunteers for troublesome situations or pr

32、ovide them with strategies for coping with the problem they do experience”.Another study of 302 volunteers at hospitals in Chicago focused on individual differences in the degree to which people view “volunteer” as an important social role. It was assumed that those people for whom the role of volun

33、teer was most part of their personal identity would also be most likely to continue volunteer work. Participants indicated the degree to which the social role mattered by responding to statements such as “Volunteering in Hospital is an important part of who I am.” Consistent with the researchers exp

34、ectations, they found a positive correlation(正相关) between the strength of role identity and the length of time people continued to volunteer. These results, once again, lead to concrete advice: “Once an individual begins volunteering, continued efforts might focus on developing a volunteer role iden

35、tity.Items like T-shirts that allow volunteers to be recognized publicly for their contributions can help strengthen role identity”.1、People volunteer mainly out of _.Aacademic requirementsBsocial expectationsCfinancial rewardsDinternal needs2、What can we learn from the Florida study?AFollow-up stud

38、hone during a meal? Sarahs Corner Cafe in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, is offering a deal for people who want to enjoy a meal, and each other, unplugged. Theyve set up so-called “family recharging stations” at tables where you drop your phone into a basket.“They let the server know and the server will

39、 bring over a basket with old fashioned Hangman and Tic Tac Toe and pencils because those games are interactive instead of coloring, which is solitary (孤单的),” owner Barry Lynch told ABC News. Once a family joins in the challenge, staff bring games to the table to encourage the family to interact and

40、 communicate with one another.If families make it through the meal without looking at their phones, theyre rewarded 10 percent off their bill. “A lot of people are starting to do it and its taken on a life of its own,” said Lynch.The idea for the “family recharging time” came to Lynch after observin

41、g many of his customers. “Theres one particular family I knew used to come in on Sunday for breakfast after church,” he recalled. “Every time I went over, one or two of the kids and sometimes the parents would be on the phone. I also knew the dad would go to New York for work every day, which takes

42、a lot of time. I asked him about that and he said, Yeah, I still do it. Its so nice to be together and these breakfasts are rare. And when he said that, I thought, Something is going on here. I need to do something.”Lynch is thrilled by the response his phone-free meals have gotten and hopes they co

43、ntinue to enrich his customers family time. “I just thought it was such a shame not to have more time together just to talk,” he said.1、How can a family get a 10% discount at Sarahs Corner Cafe?AThey have phone-free meals.

46、 study suggests. The study, published in Psychology and Aging, carried out hearing tests on 74 adult musicians and 89 non-musicians. It found a 70-year-old musicians hearing was as good as that of a 50-year-old who did not play.Hearing normally declines as people age. By 60, 10-30% of people have mo

47、derate hearing loss. By 80, that goes up to as many as 60%. Problems are particularly seen in the central auditory (听觉的) processing system, which is associated with understanding speech, especially when there is background noise.Previous studies have shown musicians have better hearing than non-play

48、ers. But this research, by a team at the Rotman Research Institute in Toronto, looked at adults of all ages - from 3 to 91 - to see how people were affected as they aged. They carried out hearing tests on 74 amateur and professional musicians (who had played since the age of 1, were still practising

49、 and had been given formal music lessons) and 89 non-musicians (who had never played an instrument). Musicians were significantly better at picking out speech against noise.The researchers suggest that lifelong musicianship reduces age-related changes in the brain, probably due to musicians using th

50、eir auditory systems at a high level on a regular basis.The head of biomedical research at Action on Hearing Loss, Dr Ralph Holme, said: “While this study suggests that musicians might be more able to cope with the consequences of hearing loss, it is far better to reduce damage in the first place by

51、 using appropriate ear protection. We have always campaingned for everyone who plays a musical instrument or listens to loud music to wear hearing protection, like earplugs, which reduce the risk of damaging your hearing permanently.”1、What can we learn from Paragraph 2?AA person aged 80 will lose 3

52、0% hearing.BA person aged above 60 must have bad hearing.CPeople have fewer problems with background noise.DPeoples hearing usually becomes worse when they get older.2、What can we get from the Canadian study?AIt tested the hearing of 12 people.BThe finding of the study wasnt published publicly.CPlay

53、ing a musical instrument may do good to hearing.DMusicians were as good at picking out speech against noise as non-musicians.3、Why dont musicians change much in their brain as they age?AThey like to take more exercise.BThey use their hearing more and regularly.CThey dont expose themselves to backgro

54、und noise.DThey pay more attention to protecting their hearing.4、How can we deal with hearing loss according to Dr Ralph Holme?AGet help from musicians.BListen to loud music less.CProtect hearing properly.DPlay a musical instrument more.5、The author wrote the passage to _.Aentertain the readersBadve

One man, 1 for the sandwich, approached her and 2 some surprising insight（见识）.“Its great that youre 3 sandwiches,” he said, “but one thing we really 4 is socks, especially as winter approaches.”“Here I was, sandwiches in 5 , assuming I knew the best way to help people, when in rea

59、16 to do so. And almost everyone has a(n) 17 pair of socks they can donate,” Lichtman said.That morning Lichtman 18 kicked off Knock Knock, Give a Sock, a new nonprofit organization that has now 19 over 350,000 pairs of socks for the homeless in cities and states across America.
