题目

Every year thousands of people donate their time to helping people who fight disease and ones suffering in developing countries. Why volunteer? Health professionals volunteer for many different reasons, but most often they simply want to help—to do something important or to assist others in need. Many people who are aware of the terrible suffering going on in the world feel that they simply must do something to help. Others travel to foreign lands because they find that their work at home has lost some of its appeal or has become routine. They find that even a short break revitalizes (使…重获活力) them. Religious conviction (信仰) gives many people the strength to leave their homes and loved ones to work far away under very difficult conditions. Who is needed? The huge need for health volunteers throughout the globe means that people with almost any skill can find meaningful assignments. Medical personnel (人员) most in demand by relief agencies include surgeons, pediatricians, family practitioners, nurses, pharmacists, public health educators, maintenance/ repair personnel and laboratory technicians. However, with a little research, people with almost any medical skill will find productive assignments worth doing. Who pays the expenses? Most volunteer-seeking organizations will pay for travel, food and housing only for long-term volunteers, and are usually unable to fund travel for short-term service. However, some groups can and do pay all expenses even for short periods of work. There are even some organizations that require the volunteer to raise his or her own funds even if he or she will serve for several years a time. How long should you volunteer? Obviously, the answer to this depends on individual circumstances and time limits. For many people, short-term volunteering is best to begin with because they will have a chance to see if they are suited to this kind of work. Long-term volunteering is better if you want to accomplish more and become more skilled at what you do. However, even short-term volunteering is worthwhile especially when you work where there is a severe shortage of help or when you can bring some expertise (专业技能) that isn't locally available like a special clinical or teaching skill.
