A is right!

xiaowan

请注意However, that statistic would be what we would expect even if volunteering does not boost longevity的意思是：即使volunteering 不能延长寿命，调查结果依然会象我们预期的那样。换言之，即使volunteering 不能延长寿命，调查结果依然是参加volunteer者的平均寿命长于一般人群的平均寿命。

汗。。。如果没有这个数据，结果和预期一样，指的是It has been suggested that regular release of endorphins increases people’s longevity.

C is correct

天鹅的米国梦

我还是觉得是C

我觉得大家争论的关键其实就是那个有点模糊的because

However, that statistic would be what we would expect even if volunteering does not

boost longevity, because
                    .

选C可以解释为 beacuse 以后解释的是volunteering does not boost longevity

boost longevity, because
            .

选C可以解释为 beacuse 以后解释的是volunteering does not boost longevity

就算because解释的是statistic would be what we would expect 

a或者b的解释也是有失偏颇的。无论是男女对比，还是老少对比，都改变了原体中的人群范围

我也觉得是C，首先C很好的联系了原文的a feelling of well-being,其次，A中，就算女人比男人活的长，你也不知道volunteer的组合呀，万一在group里面男的比女的多怎么办，最后，新东方的老师也不一定对

再补从一下，原文是在比较志愿者和不做志愿者的人，所以C很好的解释了两类人群的不同，欢迎nn讨论

Yes, the correct answer should be A. It follows that even if the volunteering does not BOOST the longevity, those who lives longer do the volunteering work more than others who lives shorter. It retains the conclusion but weaks the conditions supporting that conclusion.

The original reasoning: volunteering work --> live longer, now the conclusion weakens to: not make live longer but those who live longer engage in the volunteering work.

I support for A 

even if the endorphins can disguise some symptoms, but the life logitivity will not be changed.  So it could not explain the conclusion in the question.  it is irrelavent

当然是A,注意结论是什么～
