A recent study surveyed 5,000 British families about their experiences with volunteering and their mental health. Participants completed the same survey every two years from 1996 to 2008.

About 20 percent of the survey participants reported doing regular unpaid work Researchers found that these volunteers also scored highest on their mental health scores.The two were linked so directly that the more a person volunteered,the happier they were.

One could argue a chicken-and-egg theory: happier people are more likely to have the time,money,energy and resources to give back to others.But even when researchers adjusted for education,social class and total health,the link was there,suggesting that the mental increase came from volunteering and not the other way around.

According to Dr.Stephen G.Post,author of The Hidden Gifts of Helping,when you help others,your brain releases feel-good chemicals,which can help cells repair themselves and grow.And this translates to better health.

So volunteering can help improve both your physical and mental health—on one condition.You have to mean it. People who volunteered for "self-oriental" reasons,either because they were forced to do so for work or school or because they were trying to get away from problems in their lives,had a mortality（死亡率）risk that was similar to those who didn't volunteer at all.It was only when people were volunteering out of a true sense of sympathy that they saw any health benefits.

So whether it's arranging books at the library or walking dogs at the animal shelter,find a cause that's important to you and give it a try.Volunteering is a good way to develop a sense of connection that not only helps your community,but may also be good for you.

1.Who are healthier according to the study?

A. people who are happier.

B. people who are good at taking exams.

C. people that work as volunteers regularly.

D. people that make a large amount of money.

2.Why does the author mention the chick-and-egg theory?

A. To introduce a world-famous theory.

B. To point out that volunteering came first.

C. To prove happy ones would like to help others.

D. To tell us that the cause and the effect are mixed.

3.What may be one of the "self-oriented" reasons?

A. You try your best to solve others' problems.

B. You are filled with pity for the foster kids.

C. You have the duty to look after the old.

D. You're always willing to help others.

4.What is the text mainly about?

A. A chicken-and-egg theory.

B. Happiness has a lot to do with health.

C. A sense of connection is important to us.

D. Volunteering willingly is good for health.

A 15-year-old boy planned to put a ball covered with petrol into his mouth and set it on fire. He would film the dangerous action and put it on YouTube. And, lie hoped to become famous on the Internet. But things didn’t go the way he imagined. His clothing caught fire, and he was rushed to the hospital with serious bums on his body.

YouTube hosts millions of videos of people attempting dangerous actions. Many of them are by kids and young adults. Some experts say that by hosting these videos, YouTube encourages young viewers to take deadly risks. Research by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that more than 180,000 Americans die from accidental injuries each year. That’s one person every three minutes. More than 14,000 of those killed are kids under the age of 19. Is YouTube to blame?

People have always found it interesting to watch others try risky things. Audiences love these kinds of things. Some of the earliest Greek comedies had characters followed by wild animals and knocking into walls. Now, in the age of the Internet, anyone with a camera and a YouTube account can create this kind of “fun”. Many viewers, especially teenagers, are influenced by what they see and want to try it themselves. “YouTube has taken the playing in the neighborhood to a worldwide level,” says Clair Mellenthin, a researcher from the Centers.

Supporters of YouTube argue that it isn’t YouTube’s responsibility to examine its content. “Parents should be the ones to make sure that kids are behaving safely,” they say. In fact, YouTube has a rule on content. For example, dangerous activities that have a risk of serious physical harm or death are not allowed. Staff of YouTube, carefully watch the website 24 hours a day, looking for videos that are against their rules. But is this enough?

The Winner's Guide to Success

Do you know what makes people successful? To find out the answers, an American reporter recently visited some of the most successful people around the world.1.

●Be responsible for yourself.

Sometimes you may want to blame others for your failure to get ahead. In fact, when you say someone or something apart from yourself is stopping you from making success, you're giving away your own power.2.

●Write a plan.

It is very difficult to try to get what you want without a good plan. It is just like trying to drive through strange roads to a city far away. 3.Without this "map", you may waste your time, money and also your energy; while with the "map", you'll enjoy the "trip" and get what you want in the shortest possible time.?

● 4.

Nothing great is easy to get. So you must be ready to work hard—even harder than you have ever done. If you are not willing to pay the price, you won't get anything valuable.?

●Never give up.

5.When you are doing something, you must tell yourself again and again: Giving up is worse than failure because failure can be the mother of success, but giving up means the death of hope.

A. A good plan is like a map to you.

B. It seems to us that everyone knows this, but it is easier said than done.

C. Some people achieve success much later in life because they didn't work hard earlier.

D. You're saying, "You have more control over my life than I do."

E. Here are some keys to success that they give.

F. Someone else's opinion of you doesn't have to become your reality.

G. Be willing to pay the price.

It’s a Saturday morning in a large courtyard. Young designers sell their creations, from fine tea sets to hand-painted earrings. I could be in east London, that is, until standard Chinese tones remind me I’m in Jingdezhen, a small Chinese city.

Centuries ago, when Europeans first saw Chinese porcelain, it seemed so fine that they concluded it must have been made with magic and called it “white gold”.

They couldn’t find out how it was made, but they knew where it came from: the town of Changnan. Changnan porcelain was so in demand that early traders began calling the whole country by this town name. Mixed by foreign tongues, Changnan transformed into China.

Two million years after porcelain’s invention, the town, now called Jingdezhen, is still one of the world’s most important centers for porcelain production.

“The people are the most important treasure here. Their roots are deep in history.” says Zhang Jia. She’s part of a new wave of designers who have come to Jingdezhen to learn techniques handed down and refined( 使精美 ) over a hundred generations. “This is the best place to study porcelain in China, perhaps in the entire world,” she added.

Chinese artists aren’t the only ones drawn here. Founded in 2005 by Caroline Cheng, the Pottery Workshop runs classes for visitors from around the world.

Paul told me that when he first visited Jingdezhen there were no street lamps and only dirty pavements. There were workshops but their goods were bought by traders and sold on elsewhere. These days, stylish cafes and bars pop up next to concept stores. At one such shop, I admired some tiny teacups like birds.

With the popularity of the ottery Workshop, many of the designers are using Jingdezhen’s master craftsmen to make them because they know they offer quality, attention to detail.

1.What made the writer realize that he was in China?

A. Fine tea sets B. HandPDF-paintedearrings

C. Standard Chinese D. Fine Chinese porcelain

2.Why did early Europeans call Chinese porcelain “white gold”?

A. Because it was made in China.

B. Because they thought it was made with magic.

C. Because they knew it came from Changnan.

D. Because they liked it so much and it was in demand.

3.Zhang Jia came to Jingdezhen in order to__________.

A. know something about Jingdezhen’s history.

B. enjoy the beautiful scenery of Jingdezhen

C. study techniques of making porcelain

D. pay a visit to some of his foreign friends

4.From what Paul said we can learn______.

A. many foreign visitors came to Jingdezhen to study porcelain

B. China’s young people are more interested in unique products

C. their goods were not popular in western countries

D. in the past Jingdezhen was a poor and dirty town
