Read the following passage and choose the best answer for each blank.

Recent research has that a third of people in Britain have not met their next-door neighbors, and those who know each other speak. "Neighbors gossiping over garden fences and in the street was a common in the 1950s", says Dr Carl, an expert on local communities. Now, , longer hours spent working at the office, together with the Internet and satellite television, are eroding neighborhood . "Poor neighborhoods once had strong kinship, but now prosperity buys privacy", said Dr. Carl.

Professor John Luke, a social scientist at Cambridge University, has analyzed a large number of surveys. He found that in America and Britain the amount of time spent on social activity is decreasing. A third of people said they never spoke to their neighbors at all. Andrew Mayer, a strategy consultant, rents a large apartment in West London, with two flat mates, work in e-commerce. "We have a family of teachers upstairs and lawyers below, but our only contact comes letters relating to the communal facilities or complaints that we've not put out our bin bags properly", said Mayer.

The of communities can have serious effects. Concerned at the rise in burglaries and acts of vandalism, the police have launched crime prevention such as Neighborhood Watch, on people who live in the same area to keep an eye on each other's houses and report anything unusual.

New research suggests that volunteers aren't just helping the communities they serve. People who volunteer actually experience a boost in their mental health - good news at a time when more than a third of Americans are experiencing symptoms of anxiety or depression.

In a study published this year in the Journal of Happiness Studies, researchers examined data from nearly 70,000 research participants in the United Kingdom, who received surveys about their volunteering habits and their mental health, including their concerns in everyday life, every two years from 1996 to 2014.

Compared to people who didn't volunteer, people who had volunteered in the past year were more satisfied with their lives and rated their overall health as better. Additionally, the researchers found that people who volunteered more frequently experienced greater benefits. Those who volunteered at least once a month reported better mental health than participants who volunteered infrequently or not at all.

But does volunteering make people happy, or are happy people simply more likely to volunteer? The researchers found the same results even when they considered participants' initial levels of well-being before they started volunteering. In other words, people who started to volunteer became happier over time.

Although it's true that people who are happier do tend to spend more time volunteering, the current study suggests that you don't need to already feel happy in order to benefit from it. In fact, some research suggests that people who start out with lower levels of well-being may even get a bigger boost from volunteering.

Why does volunteering support our mental health? According to Ricky Lawton, associate director at Simetrica Research Consultancy and lead author of the paper, a combination of factors is likely at play. First, volunteering appears to be intrinsically rewarding— when we help others, we tend to experience what researchers call a "warm glow." Second, volunteering is likely to help boost our sense of social connection. In particular, for older adults, volunteering can be a way to stay connected with others after retirement.

Finally, volunteering can be a way to build professional skills and try out leadership opportunities, which is especially relevant to young adults. In the current study, the researchers found that participants ages 16-24 and 55-74 were especially likely to benefit from volunteering, perhaps because of the opportunity to build social connections and new skills.
