【题目】阅读下列材料,从每题所给的四个选项(ABCD)中,选出最佳选项。

B

In a world where storing wealth is considered the norm, giving money to complete strangers seems like a unreasonable idea. Yet, for the hundreds who have taken part in Free Money Day since its beginnings in 2011, there is a knowing that greater sharing is needed in this world. More than this, our experiences on Free Money Day(each September 15) confirm that people feel more comfortable giving, than receiving. In 2014, for example, Jennifer Hinton said it took her and three friends over an hour to give away 35 Euros in Athens, Greece.

Its true that few are willing to jump straight into the vulnerability of receiving from a stranger. So we encourage Free Money Day participants to use a simple technique: suggest to receivers that they keep half the money you’re giving them, and pass the other half on to someone else. This technique increases people’s willingness to engage in the experiment, and makes people feel a need to view the giving as legitimate(合法的), which in turn legitimizes the receiving.

Perhaps many Free Money Day participants have reported unwillingness to receive partly because we have a cultural connotation that receiving help is linked with weakness. Also it can come, in part, from generosity for others, and the caring ethic that the Free Money Day experiment hopes to grow. Also it may come from a deeper belief: that we are not worthy of love and support, especially not from people who we’ve never helped. Additionally, insecure people feel unable to fully receive the riches they’ve been given and yet, when people are supported and loved, they tend to naturally give with generosity.

Thus, what can you do to encourage people to receive more willingly? Perhaps they will feel your heart. And, if so, what a wonderful opportunity for growth because the expression “give and ye shall receive” should actually be reversed: receive, and you shall give. As we become more able to receive love, we’re more able to give in a healthy way.
