课时规范训练(单独成册) 训练(四) Ⅰ.阅读理解 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。 A Year of Giving Yesterday I started the Year of Giving，my first day of a yearlong journey into exploring the act of giving and the meaning of charity.I chose December 15 as the starting date，which marked three years since my mother died from heart disease.She was one of the most generous people that I have ever known.She always thought of others first and certainly serves as an inspiration to me. I had a rather busy day yesterday，ironic (具有讽刺意义的) for someone who is unemployed right now.In the morning I went to the gym，and unsuccessfully got the phone call from the unemployment office for some job searching.Before I knew it，it was noon.I grabbed a quick lunch and rushed down to a meeting.On my way to Connecticut，I wondered if I would see someone that I would feel forced to give my first $10 to.I was running late and decided to do it afterwards. After the meeting I had about half an hour to find the first person of my Year of Giving! I decided to check out DuPont Circle.I had met a guy there named Jerry once and thought he would willingly accept my $10.He wasn’t there，but I did see a man sitting by himself who looked really lonely，so I approached him.Now I had to figure out what I was going to say，I think I said something like，“Hi，can I sit down here？” “I would like to know if I could give you $10？” He asked me to repeat what I had said，I did，then he looked at me funny，got up and left. |
