things that you care about.
Volunteering helps others, but it can also help you. If you’re worried about something
that’s happened, doing something can be a great way to deal with (处理) your feelings.
Volunteering can let you see your own life in new ways. Sometimes it’s easy to worry
about things like grades or get angry. Volunteering lets you spend some time on others for a
while.
Volunteer experiences often put you in a different situation that you haven’t come acrossin your normal life. Doing volunteer work means one very important thing: You make a
difference in the world.

you can do together.

五、回答问题
A new report from a university says 80% of the world's teens don't get enough exercise
very day. The report was based on (基于) a research done with about 2 million students aged
11 to 17 around the world. According to the report, activity standards are different in different
countries and they are also different between boys and girls. In China, for example, only 20%
of the boys are active enough, compared to 11% of the girls.
Why don't teens go out for exercise? One main reason is that they always have technology
products in their hands or around them. They spend too much time on smartphones, computers
and TVs in their free time. Many teens find it very hard to pull themselves away from these
devices (设备). The report says that young people need to do less in the digital world but more
the real world. It advises kids to get at least an hour of exercise every day. This could include
running, biking, playing sports, or many other outdoor activities.
More and more research shows that exercise not only helps the body, but also helps the
brain. Besides, doing sports helps kids to make friends. Mark, a sports fan, started to play
football when he was six years old. He used to be shy and weak, but now he has become tallerand stronger. He gets to know the importance of communicating with his teammates and how
to learn from mistakes and failure. And he has made lots of friends with the same interest.
They often have football training on the playground. They have more to talk about and enjoy
the happiness after training.
36．How many students around the world took part in the research?
37．Are activity standards the same between boys and girls according to the report?
38．What does the report advice kids to do
39．When did Mark start to play football?
40．Where do Mark and his teammates often have football training?
