13、activities, Americans also devote a great amount of their time to the varied needs of their communities.

14、hy do they do it? There are several answers. The idea of cooperating and sharing responsibility with one another for the benefit of all is as old as the country itself. When the country was first founded in 1776, it was necessary for the settlers to work together to live. They had crossed dangerous

15、seas and risked all they had in their struggle for political and religious freedom. There remains among many Americans a distrust of central government. People still prefer to do things themselves within their communities, rather than give the government more control. Sometimes people offer their ti

16、me because they wish to accomplish something for which no money is paid, to do something that will be of benefit to the entire community.
