Yesterday I started the Year of Giving, my first day of a year-long 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(具有諷刺意義的) 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 first $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.

I then started walking south where I spotted a man standing by the bus stop on Connecticut Ave. He appeared to be in his 60s. I don’t know what drew me to him, but I thought I would make my second attempt. I was a bit nervous and asked him which bus came by that stop. Then I explained that I was starting a year-long project to give $10 to someone every day and that I wanted to give my $10 for today to him. The gentleman, I later found out that his name was Ed, responded without hesitation that he could not accept my offer and that there were many people more deserving the money than him. This was exactly one of the things that I hoped would happen. People would think of others before themselves!

1. The author set the starting date on December 15 to .

A. help the charity

B. remember his mother

C. make an exploration

D. fulfill a wish of his mum

2. In the author’s first attempt to give away the money, .

A. he was considered ridiculous

B. he hesitated for a long time

C. he was forced to donate the money

D. he had no time to take action

3.In the author’s second attempt, the gentleman refused his offer because .

A. he didn’t need others’ help

B. he thought more for others

C. he didn’t care about money

D. he wanted to get more money

4.We can infer that the author was inspired by .

A. true friendship B. his own kindness

C. generous donations D.human’s good nature

Hey there,

So you’re about to spend four years of your life and tens of thousands of dollars of your parents’ money,and all you really know about college is that all of your friends are going.Do you ever stop to wonder why you’re going?

Relax.You’re making the right decision.First of all,you’ll discover what interests you by taking courses in many subjects.For example,it’s hard to decide if you want to be a painter if you’ve never painted any pictures;once you’re in a drawing?room on campus,you’ll know one way or the other.College is also a lot of fun—after you graduate,you’ll be working every weekday for 50 or so years.And remember that college graduates earn about twice the income of those who never attend college.

Finding the right college can be difficult.Fortunately,Johnson Review is here to help you every step of the way.

*Researching Schools.To us,the most important decision you’ll make is to choose the school that really fits you best—not the one that is the most competitive or has the best?equipped rooms.

*Applying to School.On JohnsonReview.com,you’ll find hundreds of actual college applications and links to many more.

*Raising Your Scores.American College Test is one of the most difficult parts of the admissions course.It’s not the most important, though,and not everyone needs to prepare for the test.But,if you think you can do better,find the right course for better scores.

*Paying for School.Most families need financial aid for the high cost of college.The problem is that financial aid seems difficult to get and many families get caught up in the price of college rather than learning the ways to get financial aid.If you really do your research,you’ll learn that you can afford to attend any college,no matter the cost.

For more information,call 600?3681 or visit JohnsonReview.com.Wherever you go,have a nice trip!

Tight-lipped elders used to say , “ It’s not what you want in this world , but what you get . ”

Psychology teaches that you do get what you want if you know what you want and want the right things.

You can make a mental blueprint of a desire as you would make a blueprint of a house, and each of us is continually making these blueprints in the general routine of everyday living.If we intend to have friends to dinner, we plan the menu, make a shopping list, decide which food to cook first, and such planning is essential for any type of meal to be served.

Likewise, if you want to find a job, take a sheet of paper, and write a brief account of yourself.In making a blueprint for a job, begin with yourself, for when you know exactly what you have to offer, you can intelligently plan where to sell your services.

This account of yourself is actually a sketch of your working life and should include education, experience and references.Such an account is valuable.It can be referred to in filling out standard application blanks and is extremely helpful in personal interviews.While talking to you, your could-be employer is deciding whether your education, your experience, and other qualifications will pay him to employ you and your “ wares ” and abilities must be displayed in an orderly and reasonably connected manner.

When you have carefully prepared a blueprint of your abilities and desires, you have something tangible to sell.Then you are ready to hunt for a job.Get all the possible information about your could-be job.Make inquiries as to the details concerning the job and the firm.Keep your eyes and ears open, and use your own judgment.Spend a certain amount of time each day seeking the employment you wish for, and keep in mind: Securing a job is your job now.

1.What do the elders mean when they say, “It’s not what you want in this world, but what you get?”

A.You’ll certainly get what you want.

B.It’s no use dreaming.

C.You should be dissatisfied with what you have.

D.It’s essential to set a goal for yourself.

2.A blueprint made before inviting a friend to dinner is used in this passage as ________.

A.a(chǎn)n illustration of how to write an application for a job

B.a(chǎn)n indication of how to secure a good job

C.a(chǎn) guideline for job description

D.a(chǎn) principle for job evaluation

3.According to the passage, one must write an account of himself before starting to find a job because ________.

A.that is the first step to please the employer

B.that is the requirement of the employer

C.it enables him to know when to sell his services

D.it forces him to become clearly aware of himself

4.When you have carefully prepared a blueprint of your abilities and desires, you have something ________.

A.specific to offer B.imaginary to provide

C.practical to supply D.desirable to present
