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. Question 29. Which of the following best serves the title of the passage? A. How to Live Happily B. Time to Help Others C.

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 . Read the following passage and choose the correct answer 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.
