2. Read the passage and choose the best answer to each question
Think back to the last time you helped someone, whether it was holding the door open for a classmate or raking your elderly neighbour’s leaves. While you were doing it and afterward, how did you feel? We are going to make a safe bet you felt happy and more positive about life. That’s because the fastest way to feel joy is serving others.
An old Chinese proverb tells it perfectly, “If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap. If you want happiness for a day, go fishing. If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody.”
But serving does not just make your heart feel good. Studies have shown that there are mental and physical health benefits to serving, like reducing depression, lowering blood pressure and lengthening your lifespan.
Putting other people’s needs before yours also strengthens your relationships. It connects you with the one you’re serving, and if that someone is someone you know, it creates a stronger bond with them.
It also enriches other people’s lives. Taking time out of your busy day to even bring a friend a bowl of soup when they are sick makes them feel better and can uplift them during their rough time.
And perhaps the best benefit of service is the chance of that person paying it forward. If you help someone, they are more likely to do something nice for someone else that day. Your one act of kindness could have a major domino effect.
1. Which of the following best serves the title of the passage?
A. How to Live Happily B. Time to Help Others
C. Why It’s Important to Help Others D. Strengthening Relationships
2. Why does the author quote the Chinese proverb in the second paragraph?
A. To give an example of the period of time it takes to help somebody
B. To show how important it is to help others
C. Because happiness varies depending on people’s needs
D. Because the author wants to compare kindness with happiness
3. The word ‘It’ in the fifth paragraph refers to ______.
A. your good deed or kindness
B. a stronger bond between you with someone you know
C. strengthening your relationships
D. the act of putting other people’s needs before yours
4. What does the last sentence of the passage imply?
A. Other acts of kindness will highly likely to happen due to yours.
B. You could make more people feel happy with your kindness.
C. There will be more acts of kindness, but yours is the major.
D. Without your act of kindness, other people can still behave well.
5. As we learn from the passage, which of the following is unlikely to be considered as an act of kindness?
A. Giving someone your seat on a crowded bus
B. Helping the elderly cross the crowded street
C. Speeding up so everyone cannot merge in front of you in traffic
D. Bringing your neighbour a bowl of porridge when they are sick

4. Mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the sentence that is closest in meaning to each of the following questions.
New research suggests that volunteers aren’t just helping the communities they serve. People who volunteer actually experience a boost in their mental health - good news at a time when more than a third of Americans are experiencing symptoms of anxiety or depression.
In a study published this year in the Journal of Happiness Studies, researchers examined data from nearly 70,000 research participants in the United Kingdom, who received surveys about their volunteering habits and their mental health, including their concerns in everyday life, every two years from 1996 to 2014.
Compared to people who didn’t volunteer, people who had volunteered in the past year were more satisfied with their lives and rated their overall health as better. Additionally, the researchers found that people who volunteered more frequently experienced greater benefits: Those who volunteered at least once a month reported better mental health than participants who volunteered infrequently or not at all.
But does volunteering make people happy, or are happy people simply more likely to volunteer? The researchers found the same results even when they considered participants’ initial levels of well-being before they started volunteering. In other words, people who started to volunteer became happier over time.
Although it’s true that people who are happier do tend to spend more time volunteering, the current study suggests that you don’t need to already feel happy in order to benefit from it. In fact, some research suggests that people who start out with lower levels of well-being may even get a bigger boost from volunteering.
Why does volunteering support our mental health? According to Ricky Lawton, associate director at Simetrica Research Consultancy and lead author of the paper, a combination of factors is likely at play. First, volunteering appears to be intrinsically rewarding- when we help others, we tend to experience what researchers call a “warm glow.” Second, volunteering is likely to help boost our sense of social connection. In particular, for older adults, volunteering can be a way to stay connected to others after retirement.
Finally, volunteering can be a way to build professional skills and try out leadership opportunities, which is especially relevant to young adults. In the current study, the researchers found that participants ages 16-24 and 55-74 were especially likely to benefit from volunteering, perhaps because of the opportunity to build social connections and new skills.

2. Read the passage and choose the best answer to each question
Think back to the last time you helped someone, whether it was holding the door open for a classmate or raking your elderly neighbour’s leaves. While you were doing it and afterward, how did you feel? We are going to make a safe bet you felt happy and more positive about life. That’s because the fastest way to feel joy is serving others.
An old Chinese proverb tells it perfectly, “If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap. If you want happiness for a day, go fishing. If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody.”
But serving does not just make your heart feel good. Studies have shown that there are mental and physical health benefits to serving, like reducing depression, lowering blood pressure and lengthening your lifespan.
Putting other people’s needs before yours also strengthens your relationships. It connects you with the one you’re serving, and if that someone is someone you know, it creates a stronger bond with them.
It also enriches other people’s lives. Taking time out of your busy day to even bring a friend a bowl of soup when they are sick makes them feel better and can uplift them during their rough time.
And perhaps the best benefit of service is the chance of that person paying it forward. If you help someone, they are more likely to do something nice for someone else that day. Your one act of kindness could have a major domino effect.
1. Which of the following best serves the title of the passage?
	A. How to Live Happily	B. Time to Help Others
	C. Why It’s Important to Help Others 	D. Strengthening Relationships
2. Why does the author quote the Chinese proverb in the second paragraph?
A. To give an example of the period of time it takes to help somebody
B. To show how important it is to help others
C. Because happiness varies depending on people’s needs
D. Because the author wants to compare kindness with happiness
3. The word ‘It’ in the fifth paragraph refers to ______.
A. your good deed or kindness
B. a stronger bond between you with someone you know
C. strengthening your relationships
D. the act of putting other people’s needs before yours
4. What does the last sentence of the passage imply?
A. Other acts of kindness will highly likely to happen due to yours.
B. You could make more people feel happy with your kindness.
C. There will be more acts of kindness, but yours is the major.
D. Without your act of kindness, other people can still behave well.
5. As we learn from the passage, which of the following is unlikely to be considered as an act of kindness?
A. Giving someone your seat on a crowded bus
B. Helping the elderly cross the crowded street
C. Speeding up so everyone cannot merge in front of you in traffic
D. Bringing your neighbour a bowl of porridge when they are sick

4. Mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the sentence that is closest in meaning to each of the following questions.
New research suggests that volunteers aren’t just helping the communities they serve. People who volunteer actually experience a boost in their mental health - good news at a time when more than a third of Americans are experiencing symptoms of anxiety or depression.
In a study published this year in the Journal of Happiness Studies, researchers examined data from nearly 70,000 research participants in the United Kingdom, who received surveys about their volunteering habits and their mental health, including their concerns in everyday life, every two years from 1996 to 2014.
Compared to people who didn’t volunteer, people who had volunteered in the past year were more satisfied with their lives and rated their overall health as better. Additionally, the researchers found that people who volunteered more frequently experienced greater benefits: Those who volunteered at least once a month reported better mental health than participants who volunteered infrequently or not at all.
But does volunteering make people happy, or are happy people simply more likely to volunteer? The researchers found the same results even when they considered participants’ initial levels of well-being before they started volunteering. In other words, people who started to volunteer became happier over time.
Although it’s true that people who are happier do tend to spend more time volunteering, the current study suggests that you don’t need to already feel happy in order to benefit from it. In fact, some research suggests that people who start out with lower levels of well-being may even get a bigger boost from volunteering.
Why does volunteering support our mental health? According to Ricky Lawton, associate director at Simetrica Research Consultancy and lead author of the paper, a combination of factors is likely at play. First, volunteering appears to be intrinsically rewarding- when we help others, we tend to experience what researchers call a “warm glow.” Second, volunteering is likely to help boost our sense of social connection. In particular, for older adults, volunteering can be a way to stay connected to others after retirement.
Finally, volunteering can be a way to build professional skills and try out leadership opportunities, which is especially relevant to young adults. In the current study, the researchers found that participants ages 16-24 and 55-74 were especially likely to benefit from volunteering, perhaps because of the opportunity to build social connections and new skills.
