2024年中考英语逆袭冲刺名校模拟真题速递(深圳专用) 第二期 专题04 阅读理解之说明文10篇(名校模拟真题) （2024·广东深圳·统考一模）Is there a connection between volunteering and health? Could volunteering offer a way to improve kids’ mental (心理的) health? According to a new study, kids who volunteer aren’t just helping their community. They might be helping themselves as well. Scientists found that volunteering in schools or communities is connected with better health among children and teens. The study compared kids who took part in community service with those who didn’t. Kids who volunteered were 66% more likely to be considered “flourishing”, or doing well. And kids aged 12 and older who volunteered were 25% less likely to have anxiety (焦虑). Parents of some 50,000 kids in the United States aged 6 to 17 took a survey. The findings of the survey show that volunteering has a positive effect to raise higher levels of happiness, life-satisfaction, a sense of control over life and mental health. The study comes at an important time. In another report, more than 40% of high school students said that they had ever felt sad or hopeless. Therefore, there’s a clear need to improve students’ mental health. Giving back to the community may be one method. Serving the community seems to help people feel a sense of purpose. And it makes them feel connected to those around them. So, kids, give it a try, for your health and happiness. 1．How does the writer introduce the topic? A．By telling a story. B．By using a saying.
