3．Suppose you become a leader in an organization．It's very likely that you'll want to have volunteers to help with the organization's activities．To do so，it should help to understand why people undertake volunteer work and what keeps their interest in the work．
Let's begin with the question of why people volunteer．Researchers have identified several factors that motivate people to get involved．For example，people volunteer to express personal values related to unselfishness，to expand their range of experiences，and to strengthen social relationships．If volunteer positions do not meet these needs，people may not wish to participate．To select volunteers，you may need to understand the motivations of the people you wish to attract．
People also volunteer because they are required to do so．To increase levels of community service，some schools have launched compulsory volunteer programs．Unfortunately，these programs can shift people's wish of participation from an internal factor （e．g．，"I volunteer because it's important to me"） to an external factor （e．g．，"I volunteer because I'm required to do so"）．When that happens，people become less likely to volunteer in the future．People must be sensitive to this possibility when they make volunteer activities a must．
Once people begin to volunteer，what leads them to remain in their positions over time？To answer this question，researchers have conducted follow-up studies in which they track volunteers over time．For instance，one study followed 238volunteers in Florida over a year．One of the most important factors that influenced their satisfaction as volunteers was the amount of suffering they experienced in their volunteer positions．Although this result may not surprise you，it leads to important practical advice．The researchers note that attention should be given to"training methods that would prepare volunteers for troublesome situations or provide them with strategies for coping with the problem they do experience"．
Another study of 302volunteers at hospitals in Chicago focused on individual differences in the degree to which people view"volunteer"as an important social role．It was assumed that those people for whom the role of volunteer was most part of their personal identity would also be most likely to continue volunteer work．Participants indicated the degree to which the social role mattered by responding to statements such as"Volunteering in Hospital is an important part of who I am．"Consistent with the researchers'expectations，they found a positive correlation （正相关） between the strength of role identity and the length of time people continued to volunteer．These results，once again，lead to concrete advice："Once an individual begins volunteering，continued efforts might focus on developing a volunteer role identity…Items like T-shirts that allow volunteers to be recognized publicly for their contributions can help strengthen role identity"．

分析 文章分析了志愿者为何自发地去服务社会，研究者通过研究发现：人们做志愿者工作主要是出于内在的需求，因为他们需要这样做，志愿者身份的认可会激励他们继续从事志愿者工作．
解答 61．D 细节理解题．根据第二段的"people volunteer to express personal values related to unselfishness，to expand their range of experiences，and to strengthen social relationships．If volunteer positions do not meet these needs，people may not wish to participate．"可知，人们做志愿者工作主要是出于内在的需求，故选D．
62．B 推理判断题．根据第四段最后一句的"…training methods that would prepare volunteers for troublesome situations or provide them with strategies for coping with the problem they do experience"可知，志愿者应该从心理上做好充分的准备，故选B．
63．C 细节理解题．根据第五段第二句中的"those people for whom the role of volunteer was most part of their personal identity would also be most likely to continue volunteer work．"可知，志愿者身份的认可会激励他们继续从事志愿者工作，故选C．
64．A 主旨大意题．文章开始假设你是一个组织中的领导者，很可能想得到志愿者的帮助，并指出在此之前必须弄清志愿者为什么会自发地去服务社会，并通过三个实验研究志愿者的意图．所以选项A如何让人们去做志愿者是最好的标题，故选A．
点评 本文是社会文化类阅读，考查学生的细节理解和推理判断能力．做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确选择．在做推理判断题时不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．
