Do you like traveling? Have you heard of the volunteer travel? Do you know what the volunteer travel means?

The main purpose of the volunteer travel is to take part in service activities to help others. During the trip, volunteer travelers often provide service like teaching, cooking and animal caring. The volunteers may get free or discounted accommodation (住宿折扣), meals and laundry(洗衣), activities, or classes because of their help.

It seems that these long journeys could only be made possible in recent years by modern transport. However, the volunteer travel dates back to the 1960s, when Alec Dickson and his wife Mora from the UK founded Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO), an international volunteer organization.

Traditionally, the volunteer activities take place in a foreign country. But now, more volunteer trips have taken place within the volunteers' own countries in recent years. Volunteer projects in the countryside are now attracting more visitors living in the cities as a break from the fast and stressful city lives.

    ▲  By doing voluntary work while traveling, travelers may have a real and positive influence on the world. The service volunteers provide can reduce the costs for the communities they serve. Another advantage of volunteer travel is that it helps people living in cities experience the lives in the countryside. For those who are tired of city lives but can't move to the countryside, volunteer travel can be a way. In this way, travelers can relax themselves from their busy lives, while the countryside can get a lot by receiving more customers for local tourism industries.

 阅读短文,从各题后所给的A、B、C 、D四个选项中选出一个最佳答案

About 90% of the population in the world is right-handed, But according to a report, lots of famous people are left-handed. For example, American presidents such as George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama are left-handed. So are Leonardo da Vinci , Bill Gates, Seven Jobs and so on. What does that mean? Are left-handed people smarter than the right-handed?

To answer this question, scientists studied 2,300 right-handed and left-handed students between the ages 6 and 17 in Italy. The students were asked to work out some math problems. There was no difference when they looked at the easier math problems. But left-handed students did better at the more difficult problems.

In fact, left-handedness has not always been seen in such a positive way. In the pamphlet(小册子) The Prevention and Correction of left-handedness in children written by J.W. Conway in 1936, left-handedness was described as a serious " lillness".

Prejudices(偏见)against left-handed people are built into our language. To be someone's " right-hand man" is good. It means you are a person who can help a lot.

But having "two left feet" or receiving a " left-handed compliment(赞扬)" is bad. The word itself comes from the old English. "lyft" mean weak or broken. These prejudices not only appear in English. The French word for left is "gauche" which means "awkward(笨拙的)", while "droite", the French word for right , means "clever".
