Writing a wish list to parents and waiting to open presents—festivals are often about enjoying treats.Though it can be fun,it's easy to neglect other people in the excitement.Did you know that giving could actually make you happier?
Giving means offering something free to a family member,a friend,a stranger or a whole community.Choosing a meaningful gift is one common way to give during some festivals,but giving is about much more than presents. “Giving isn't just about physical things.It can be something as simple as giving your time to others,” explains the expert Georgina Bennett. “For example,helping family members with jobs around the house or helping an elderly neighbor carry things is giving,too.”
Scientists have found that pleasure centers in our brain become active when we give something to others. “Giving can make our sense of happiness grow,” explains Bennett.According to some scientists,people who give something to others get more happiness than those who treat themselves.Giving can also help us feel more connected to other people.
Now you may want to give something to others,but how? “There are lots of things that you can do.They may not cost anything or the cost may be really small,” advises Bennett. “For example,giving your time by playing with younger relatives or helping with the family pet.Writing letters to your loved ones or giving away toys and clothes are other good ways.Even simple things like giving food you no longer need to your local food bank can make a really big difference.”
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
(D)31.What does the underlined word “neglect” in Paragraph 1 mean in Chinese?
A.警告 B.表扬 C.联系 D.忽视
(A)32.The writer uses Bennett's words in Paragraph 2 to ________.
A.show that giving comes in different ways
B.tell how to choose gifts for different people
C.explain the reason why giving is important
D.show that we should care about our family and friends
(B)33.How many advantages of giving are mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A.One. B.Two. C.Three. D.Four.
(D)34.What's the last paragraph mainly about?
A.How some festivals are celebrated.
B.Why giving away things is popular.
C.The results of giving something to others.
