If you want to be a volunteer, you have to answer the following typical questions. Do you want to work with people, animals or machines? Do you want to work indoors or outdoors, directly serve people in need or serve people behind the scenes? Every year, thousands of people in the west offer volunteer service. Volunteering greatly strengthens the community because it helps the old, the young, the weak, the sick, and the disabled and the injured to solve problems.
Volunteers usually help in many different ways. They may give people advice, offer friendship to the young, drive the elderly to church (if up to the driving age), advise kids against drugs, work as assistants in schools or nursing homes, raise funds, plant trees, help out in local libraries and do many other things. Volunteering can be a few hours a week or a few hours a month. Anybody who wants to serve people in need can become a volunteer.
In fact, the art of volunteering is a process of both giving and receiving. Volunteering allows volunteers to meet new people, make new friends and mix with people from all walks of life. Volunteering is an excellent way to experiment and try out new techniques and skills, discover your individual talents and explore career choice. Being a volunteer will take you on a wonderful journey and help you learn more than what you can get from books.

What is a yawn and why do people yawn? A yawn is often associated with a person being tired. 1.____ People yawn for many reasons including stress, boredom, emotion and overwork.
Have you noticed that yawning seems to be contagious(会传染的)? If one person yawns, this appears to cause another person to yawn. Researchers have found that 40－60% of people who see a picture of someone yawning will yawn themselves.__ 2.__
Some people think that yawning is rude and suggests that you are bored or uninterested.

If you have a dog or cat, you've probably seen your pet yawn several times. Even some birds yawn such as cockatiel parrots, Adelie penguins and Emperor penguins.
Some of the scientific explanations of why we yawn claim it is caused by physical needs. One likely explanation is that the yawning reflex happens when our blood needs more oxygen. The deep breath helps supply the levels of oxygen in our blood. _4._ It is also thought that the same chemicals in our brain that affect our moods and emotions cause us to yawn.
Superstitions about yawning have been around for hundreds of years and can date back to the ancient Greeks. A common superstition says that a person must cover his or her mouth when yawning so that the soul does not escape through the mouth. _5.__ Today most people do not believe these superstitions and know that a yawn is a physical reflex.
