Exercise 2. Read the passage and answer the questions by circling A, B, or C.
Choosing to volunteer takes up some of your time. Some people say that they do not have time to help others, so they dont volunteer. But scientists say giving time to help others benefits us.
The first benefit of volunteering is that it helps us learn to be flexible. Volunteers have to be ready for changes and stay flexible when solving problems. Second, volunteering can improve our health because it requires us to be active. A report found that Americans who volunteer 100 hours or more a year are the healthiest people in the country. Third, volunteers have opportunities to develop more relationships. They often work in teams, and team members get to know each other and sometimes even become friends. Moreover, volunteers often help needy people, so they may feel thankful for what they have. For these reasons, volunteers are generally positive and are less likely to become depressed.
So if you have not joined a volunteer activity yet, think about it. You are likely to benefit from doing so.
