People volunteer for different reasons, but probably most of us
volunteer in order to try to improve life for other. However, generosity 【C1】________
brings a reward. It seems that volunteers can expect to benefit for 【C2】________
themselves as well.
In the past few years, studies have shown that people who
volunteer experience great levels of self-esteem than those 【C3】________
that don't. Similarly, their overall health and well-being also improve. 【C4】________
People who volunteer regular today may live longer in the future, and 【C5】________
they tend to suffer from fewer diseases-although of course there are
no guarantees!
Partly, these health benefits is due to the extra exercise,as volunteers 【C6】________
are usually fairly active people. Helping others burns calories! What's 【C7】________
more , it seems that we generally enjoy make others happy, which in turn 【C8】________
boosts our energy and fitness levels. It is now generally agreed that being
down in the dumps for extended periods of time is bad for our health, as
depression weakens us physically as well mentally. 【C9】________
So how much time should we volunteer for? Some studies suggest
that we need to volunteer for at most 100 hours a year to enjoy the full 【C10】________
advantages. At the end of our first year of volunteering, we will have
transformed our own lives for the better, too.
【C1】
other→others
这里表示的是“改善别人的生活”, other在这里表示“其他的, 别的”, 应使用其复数形式others。
【C2】
删除for
benefit为及物动词, 后面直接跟sb. , 表示“使某人受益”, 因此应删除for。
【C3】
great→greater
根据该句后面出现的than可知, 该处使用了比较级, 因此应将great改为其比较级greater。
【C4】
that→who
that前面的those指代的是人, 所以在引导定语从句时, 应使用表示人的关系代词who。
【C5】
regular→regularly
该词用来修饰动词volunteer, 故应使用副词, 所以要将regular改为regularly。
【C6】
is→are
系动词前面的主语为health benefits, 为复数形式, 故系动词也应为复数形式, 所以将is改为are。
【C7】
√
【C8】
make→making
enjoy doing sth. 喜欢做某事。 所以enjoy后面的动词make应改为making。
【C9】
well ∧ mentally→ as
as well as表示“也, 又”。 这里表示的是“抑郁不仅会在身体上, 也会在精神上使我们变得虚弱。 ”
【C10】
most→least
这里表示的是一年至少要指进行志愿工作100小时, 而不是最多100小时, 故应将most改为least。
