Do’s and Don’ts of Donating

Giving up your unused or unwanted stuff is a great way to make space in your home for the items that you do enjoy on a regular basis. 1.Here are 10 do's and don'ts of donating your belongings.

Do Prep Your Clothes

You've thoroughly cleaned out your closets and drawers, and have a mountain of clothing waiting to be donated．Before you bag up these pieces, inspect each one to ensure that they’re in good condition. Make sure all buttons are accounted for, and that you can't see any stains. 2.

Don’t Donate Damaged Items

The number one rule of donating your stuff is to make sure that it' s in good, useable condition. Don’t pass along clothes or furniture with rips(裂口) or stains, chipped dishes, books that are missing pages, or games with lost pieces. 3.Find a local company that will recycle these items instead.

Do Donate More Than Just Clothes

4. Stuffed animals, framed pictures, unused candles, small power tools, sports equipment, ornaments, baskets, blenders, dishes, glassware, utensils, silverware, pots and pans, curtains, blankets, toasters, mixers, pillows, towels, bed sheets, bikes, and exercise equipment are much sought after donations.

5.

With a little common sense it's easy to figure out items that are ideal for donation．But unfortunately some people will throw away the contents of their home without a second thought. As a gentle reminder, it’s never a good idea to donate car parts, flammable products, construction materials, weapons, or explosives.

A．Nobody wants to inherit your damaged belongings.

B．Food donations are always in need.

C．Don’t Even Think of Donating These Items

D．Not sure where to start?

E．Don’t Donate Large Appliances

F．Clothes aren't the only household items that can be donated．

G．Wash the items to make them fresh and ready for their new owner.

When I talked to some businessmen earlier today, one fellow asked me, “Would you give money to a homeless person, even when you know he’s going to use it to buy alcohol?” I replied, “If all I was giving was money, it’ll be one thing. But for me, whenever I do give money, that’s just the wrapping (包装纸) . The real gift is hidden inside—it’s love. And I haven’t ever found any reason to limit gifts of love.”

By the end of the night, I decided to get some pizza. In front of me in line was a homeless-looking man. He was counting the few dollars bills in his hand, over and over again, until it was his turn to order. Just then, he told the young woman behind the counter, “I’ll have the full cheese pizza.” “Full?” she asked. “It’s really big,” she added, although what she really meant to say was that it’d be too expensive for him. “Yeah, the full” “$18.65,” she submitted. The bills he was counting weren’t going to make it. I wasn’t intending to get the whole pizza for him. But thinking back to my conversation with the business man, I realized that money was really just the wrapping.

I made my move. “Can you charge that pizza with my order” I said to the cashier. “Really?” the homeless-looking man said. “Really?” the young woman behind the counter repeated. “Yes, really.” That confused man and I had a sweet silent moment. To his silent question of why I was doing it, I added, “Just pay it forward for someone else.” And he said, “Well, you know what? I was actually treating these five homeless guys out there.” He was actually paying it forward, in the first place. What an unexpected fortune to get a chance to be a part of a man’s act of kindness.

1.What can we learn about the author from the first paragraph?

A. He believes it’s not money but love that matters.

B. He is mean with his money.

C. He cares little about money.

D. He seldom gives money to the poor.

2.What made the author decide to help the man?

A. The request from the homeless-looking man.

B. His sympathy for the homeless-looking man.

C. His recalling the talk with the businessman earlier that day.

D. The urgency from the young woman behind the counter.

3.Why did the homeless-looking man want to buy the whole pizza?

A. Because he was too hungry.

B. Because he wanted to pay it forward.

C. Because he wanted to treat his own five children.

D. Because he wanted to help some homeless people.

4.What is the best title for the passage?

A. Paying it forward B. Helping a homeless man

C. A talk with a businessman D. Money was just the wrapping

You might not realize just how much work goes into making a newspaper. Apart from searching for a good story and the endless editing required to correct mistakes, copy editors need to make sure that everything fits perfectly. A good headline tells as much as possible in a short space. There never seems to be quite enough space to express completely what you want to say.

News headlines often focus on the central and most important new information. The relevantly insignificant information might be left out in order to stress the main idea or just to be brief. News headlines are featured by the vivid language. They add something special to attract readers’ eyes. Because the headline aims to describe the main focus of the story in six or seven words, every word counts and accuracy is decisive. For instance, “stab”(刺杀) is a better verb than “kill” because it tells the reader how the criminal did his deed; similarly, “Toyota” is a better noun than “car”. But the make of a good headline is not characterized necessarily by the amount of information in it. For instance, the front-page headline on the Los Angeles Times on September 11—the day New York’s World Trade Center was attacked—simply read “TERROR STRIKES” , all in capitals. While these two words do not describe how, where or why the buildings were attacked, they were accompanied by a half-page photo that captured(捕捉) the event in which around 3,000 people lost their lives.

1.What is vital in making news besides a good story and perfect edition?

A. An appropriate headline. B. A capital headline.

C. Vivid language. D. A brief report.

2.New headlines should be ________.

A. attractive B. countable

C. insignificant D. long enough

3.The underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refers to ________.

A. the buildings B. the two words

C. the people D. the twin towers

4.The example of “TERROR STRIKES” is used to support the view that ________.

A. a good headline tells as much as possible in a short space

B. news heading often focus on the central and most important news information

C. a good headline is not marked necessarily by the amount of information in it

D. news headlines are featured by the vivid language
