VII. Reading 
Volunteering can make you happier and help you live longer, according to a new study. A research paper published on Friday in the journal BMC Public Health says doing good deeds for others boosts your mental health and increases your longevity. Researchers from the UK's University of Exeter reviewed 40 academic papers into the effects of volunteerism on our health. They found that volunteers had lower rates of depression, an increased sense of well-being, and a 22 per cent reduction in the chances of dying within the next seven years. Australians lead the way in volunteering, with an estimated 36 per cent of the population lending a hand.
Lead researcher Dr Suzanne Richards said: "Our systematic review shows that volunteering is associated with improvements in mental health, but more work is needed to establish whether volunteering is actually the cause." She added: "It is still unclear whether biological and cultural factors and social resources that are often associated with better health and survival are also associated with a willingness to volunteer in the first place." In a separate study from the University of Michigan, researchers suggested three reasons why volunteering may be beneficial. First, it involves physical activity; second, the social connections we make help to reduce our stress; and third, it gives us a deep sense of happiness.
Task 1: matching
1. deeds	 a. likelihood
2 boosts 	b. evaluation

4. chances	d. acts
5. lending a hand 	e. confirm
6. review	f. increases
7. establish	g. levels
8. willingness	h. feeling
9. separate	 i. helping out
10. sense	j. desire
Task 2: true or false
a. A new study says volunteering increases your longevity by 22 years. 
b. Researchers looked at over 400 different studies into volunteering.
c. Volunteering reduces the chances of dying in the next seven years.

Nelson Mandela was born in a small village in South Africa.
He grew up in a poor family, and he was the first child in the family to go to school. He became interested in politics and was forced to leave his first university for protesting.
At that time, South Africa was suffering from apartheid, which meant that the black and white residents of South Africa were separated from each other. People had to carry identity cards with their race on it. Black and white people were not allowed to get married to each other.
Mandela witnessed all this and decided to fight against it.
He joined a rebel group which attacked government and military targets. He was arrested in 1962 and put into prison for the next 27 years.
During these 27 years, Nelson Mandela lived in a prison cell on a small island. He had to work very hard like other prisoners. It was such a horrible life for a great man.
However, when he was in prison, people began to find out more about his struggles for democracy and justice. When he was released in 1990, he was a worldwide hero. He continued to fight against the ruling government. Eventually, in 1994 his struggles were successful, and Nelson Mandela became the first democratically elected president of South Africa. Apartheid no longer exists.
