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!

【解析】試題分析:本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。介紹捐贈(zèng)時(shí)需要注意的事項(xiàng)。

1考查上下文理解和推理判斷。根據(jù)段落標(biāo)題和空格下文“Make sure all buttons are accounted for, and that you can’t see any dirty marks, or damage.”可知,本段講述捐贈(zèng)前的準(zhǔn)備工作,需要保持捐贈(zèng)物沒(méi)有污漬、沒(méi)有損壞,因此推斷空格處選D項(xiàng)“在你打包以前,檢查每一件物品確保它們都狀況良好可以為別人擁有”合適。故D項(xiàng)正確。

2考查段落大意和推理判斷。本段主要講述捐贈(zèng)最需要記住的是確保物品狀況良好,可以使用,沒(méi)有人想要壞掉的物品。因此推斷空格處選E項(xiàng)“不要捐贈(zèng)壞掉的東西”合適。故選E項(xiàng)正確。

3考查上下文理解和推理判斷。本段講述不能捐贈(zèng)的物品。有點(diǎn)常識(shí)的人就知道哪些東西可以捐贈(zèng),因此推斷空格處選C項(xiàng)“但是不幸地是,一些人不假思索就扔掉家里的東西”合適。故選C項(xiàng)正確。

4考查上下文理解和推理判斷。本段講述不要捐贈(zèng)大電器,處于健康和安全考慮二手電器不能捐贈(zèng),因此推斷空格處選B項(xiàng)“不要捐贈(zèng)不受歡迎的大型電器,打電話給當(dāng)?shù)氐睦占咀屗麄儼踩幚!焙线m。故選B項(xiàng)正確。

5考查段落理解和推理判斷。本段主要講述危險(xiǎn)物品應(yīng)當(dāng)扔掉,不要捐贈(zèng)給別人,扔掉被看作是有隱藏危險(xiǎn)的東西之前要考慮別人的健康,因此推斷空格處選G項(xiàng)“不要捐贈(zèng)召回產(chǎn)品”合適。故選G項(xiàng)正確。

【題目】The world seems gloomy(陰沉的)and gray when you’re feeling blue. In fact, being down might even affect how you perceive(感知)the color blue. A recent study about color was published in the journal Psychological Science. It shows a direct connection between a person’s ability to perceive color and their emotions.

Psychologists have long known that emotions can affect the way people perceive things. That’s in part because chemicals from your brain might affect how you process what you see. “Color is such an important part of our experience,” says lead author Christopher Thorstenson, a psychologist at the university of Rochester, in New York. There’s reason, he says, that sad people commonly describe the world as “colorless” and “gray”, and happy people use words like “bright” and “colorful”.

In the experiment, the researchers randomly assigned people to one of two groups. People in the “sadness” group watched a sad scene from The Lion King. Those in the “amusement’ group watched a comedy.

Everyone was then asked to look at red, yellow, green, and blue patches(斑點(diǎn))that had been changed to a grayish color. “Some of the patches are pretty difficulty to make out,” Thorstenson admits he says it takes some time to figure out their shade. People were scored on how accurate their color perception was. Then they completed an emotional evaluation.

The result? Sad people had a hard time seeing the difference between shades along the blue-yellow color axis(色軸). But they did no have problems seeing colors in the red-green spectrum(光譜). Thorstenson says this could be the result of an evolutionary need to see red as a response to anger.

Thorstenson says these results highlight the possible important of dopamine in sight. Dopamine is a chemical that sends signals to the brain. Researchers are hoping to focus more on dopamine in the future. “We know dopamine affects how we see colors, too,” Thorstenson says “How we feel can really influence how we see the world around us” he says.

1According to paragraph 2, how people describe the world reflects ________.

A. how they feel B. how they think

C. their world view D. their language skills

2In the experiment, the participants were asked to watch different programs so as to __________.

A. check their feelings B. influence their moods

C. develop their interests D. test their personalities

3Why were the patches made grayish in the experiment?

A. To make them look prettier

B. To make them hard to recognize

C. Because it changed the participants’ attitudes

D. Because it was good for the participants’ eyes

4Which color is easier to recognize for sad people?

A. Blue B. Yellow

C. Red D. Gray

After you have registered at the reception,go to the main hall. First,there will be a short performance by our professional musicians who are joining us for the day. After this you will go into your classes to practice on your own instruments for the evening concert. There will also be a chance to experiment with a different instrument from the one you normally play,and see if you enjoy playing something more unusual — we have several instruments to choose from!

The first part of the day will finish at 5 pm,when parents can collect students. For those remaining in the hall until the evening concert at 7 pm,there will be DVDs for you to watch,although you should also bring something to do while you are waiting. A change of clothes is required for the evening — black trousers or a skirt and white top — so unless you are going home at 5 pm,you will need to have this with you at the start of the day.
