There is an old saying about volunteer work that goes like this： "No one can do everything，but everyone can do something．"
Today，many people volunteer their time and energy to help others．There are a lot of ways to meet other people's needs．For example，some volunteers provide help after an unexpected event．Others are happy to get dirty while repairing homes or planting trees or flowers in poor neighborhoods，Young people see pain and loneliness around them and find ways to help．And history lovers help archeologists（考古學(xué)家） search for ancient objects to help deepen the past knowledge．
The volunteers also work in many areas around the world，including Haiti．More than two years have passed since a 7.0 earthquake shook the nation．The exact number of people who died may never be known．Many volunteers joined to build houses in the town of Leogane．
Organizations do not have to be large to get volunteers．A group in India is a good example．Jodie Underhill from England arrived in northern India several years ago．She planned to volunteer for an environmental project．She found a lot to do there．She could hardly believe how much rubbish was polluting some of the area's most beautiful sights．Miss Underhill learned about how to deal with the rubbish while taking part in other volunteer projects．But soon enough she organized her own group，Mountain Cleaners．Miss Underhill says the work is very hard．But she praises the group's efforts as a wonderful experience．The young Englishwoman says the Indian media（媒體） started calling her "Rubbish Girl"．But she says she was pleased with the name．American teenagers also volunteer in many ways…

1．According to a recent report，about 15% of the people in the UK are members of gyms.But are they more likely to be fit？
A study found that gym members were 14 times more active than people who didn't belong to any health club.Gym members did six hours more exercise a week，and this activity did make them fitter than non- gym members.They also spent less time sitting down every day than non- gym members.The results were the same for men and women.
The study included 405 people between the ages of 30 and 64，and the main characteristics of those who were gym members were the same as those who were not. "But gym members did more training than non-gym members，" said the lead author，Elizabeth Schroeder of the University of Illinois.While it might seem clear that gym members exercise more and are healthier than non-gym members，Schroeder says this has not been directly shown before.However，the study is only designed to show a tie between gym membership and more exercise.It may be that active people like to join gyms.In the study，people who exercised as much as gym members were also in good health.
You can get the same benefits wherever you exercise.This study shows a gym membership can make you do more exercise，but other research shows that exercising outside has other help.Outdoor activity can make you feel happy about life，especially if you run through a forest.
Outdoor exercise is also more interesting than going to the gym.The first five minutes of outdoor exercise is especially helpful in making people feel good.But Schroeder says that a gym may also encourage greater exercise because it can be social and fun.
（1）What did the new study find out？
A．British people are crazy about the gym.

（4）Which statement will Elizabeth Schroeder agree with？
