At that time, we regarded 25 miles as good days walk and the ability to cover such a distance in ten hours as sign of strength and skill. It did not occur to us that walking was a hardship.

But a well-known British physician, Sir Adolphe Abrahams, pointed out recently that hearts and bodies need proper exercise. A pers

And walking is an ideal form of exercise-the most familiar and natural of all.It was Henry Thoreau who showed mankind the richness of going on foot. The man walking can learn the trees, flower, insects, birds a

18、ph 6?AA queue of cars. BA ray of traffic light.CA flash of lightning. DA stream of people.Suppose you become a leader in an organization. Its very likely that youll want to have volunteers to help with the organizations activities. To do so, it should help to understand why people undertake voluntee

19、r 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 volunteer to express personal values related to unselfishness, to expand their range of experie

20、nces, 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 you wish to attract. People also volunteer because they are required to do so. To increase

21、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 important to me”) to an external factor ( e. g. ,“I volunteer because Im required to

22、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 to remain in their positions over time? To answer this question, researchers have

23、 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 volunteers was the amount of suffering they experienced in their volunteer positions.

24、 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 provide them with strategies for coping with the problem they do experience”. Anoth

25、er 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 volunteer was most part of their personal identity would also be most likely to conti

26、nue 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 expectations, they found a positive correlation (正相关) between the strength of role

27、 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 identity. Items like T-shirts that allow volunteers to be recognized publicly for

28、their contributions can help strengthen role identity”.25People volunteer mainly out of .Aacademic requirements Bsocial expectationsCfinancial rewards Dinternal needs26What can we learn from the Florida study?AFollow-up studies should last for one year.BVolunteers should get mentally prepared.CStrat

BPublicly identifiable volunteer T-shirts.CRole identity as a volunteer. DPractical advice from researchers.
