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. Not sure where to start? Here are some do’s and don’ts of donating your belongings.

Do Prepare Your Clothes

You’ve thoroughly cleaned out your closet and drawers, and have a mountain of clothing waiting to be donated. 1 Make sure all buttons are accounted for, and that you can’t see any dirty marks, or damage.

2

The number one rule of donating your stuff is to make sure that it’s in good, usable condition. Don’t pass along old clothes or furniture, chipped dishes, books that are missing pages, or toys with lost pieces. Nobody wants to accept your damaged belongings. Find a local company that will recycle these items instead.

Don’t even think of donating these items

With a little common sense it’s easy to figure out items that are ideal for donations.3As a gentle reminder, it’s never a good idea to donate car parts, dangerous waste, construction materials and weapons.

Don’t donate large appliances

Major appliances such as stoves, fridges, freezers, washers and dryers typically reside on the ‘do not donate’ list due to health and safety reasons. All items accepted for donation must be thoroughly clean and in good working order. With secondhand appliances, it can be difficult to guarantee that they fit the bill.4

Don’t donate recalled items

Every so often a product recall hits the news headlines. Highchairs, toys, holiday lights for Christmas trees—the list of recalled items due to safety concerns is endless. 5 A dangerous product should be thrown away, and not passed on to an unsuspecting person. Think of the well-being of others before dropping off something that’s viewed as a hidden danger in your own home.

A. They’re all acceptable items for donation, too.

B. Instead of donating an unwanted large appliance, call your local trash collection company and arrange for their safe disposal.

C. But unfortunately some people will throw away the contents of their home without a second thought.

D. Before you bag up these pieces, inspect each one to ensure that they’re in good condition and ready to be owned by someone else.

E. Don’t donate damaged items.

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

G. Never donate recalled items!

【题目】Digital technology-email and smart phones especially-have vastly improved workers’ ability to be productive outside of a traditional office. Even so, most white-collar work still happens in an office. One reason is that, according to findings of a new survey of office workers conducted by Wakefield Research for the IT company Citrix, most bosses arc doubtful about remote working. Half of the workers say their boss doesn’t accept it, and only 35 percent say it’s tolerated.

Skeptical bosses will likely have their doubts reinforced (加深) by the same survey, which shows that 43 percent of workers say they’ve watched TV or a movie while “working” remotely, while 35 percent have done housework, and 28 percent have cooked dinner.

It is true, however, that working at home makes people much more efficient (高效的), because it allows workers to take care of annoying housework while still getting their jobs done. It’s much faster, for example, to shop for groceries at a quarter to three than to stand in line during the after-work rush.

The fact that such practices remain officially unaccepted reflects how far we haven’t come as a society from the days when we expected every full-time worker to be supported by a full-time homemaker.

More broadly the Wakefield survey suggests that employers may be missing a low-cost way to give workers something of value. Sixty-four percent of those survey participants who haven’t worked remotely would rather give up some bonus in order to get even one day a week working from home. Under such circumstances, smart firms need to find ways to let their employees have enough flexibility (灵活性) to manage their time efficiently.

1Why do some employers hesitate to allow remote working?

A. They have little trust in modem technology.

B. They want to stick to their routine practice.

C. They fear losing control of their workers.

D. They are used to face-to-face communication.

2What seems to be most workers’ attitude toward remote working?

A. Favorable. B. Doubtful.

C. Reserved. D. Disapproving.

3What does the author suggest smart firms do?

A. Shorten their office hours. B. Give employees a pay raise.

C. Reduce their staffs workload. D. Adopt flexible work patterns.
