___________ is better than to receive.

A．To give B．Give C．Have given D.Giving

We have all heard the saying ,"It's better to give" than to receive. "Think about it for a moment. What does it mean to you? Of course getting a gift is nice. Giving ,though ,can be just as good. Sometimes a gift of our time is even more appreciated. There are many ways you can give the gift of time. One is to volunteer.
As a volunteer, you can learn new things, make friends, and know that you are helping someone. Here are some simple ways that you can volunteer..
Animal shelters are always looking for volunteers to walk pets, and help clean and care for them.
Organize a clean-up program in your neighborhood.
Hospitals often have programs that kids can help with to cheer up patients.
Donate used toys and books to libraries, shelters or churches.
These are just a few examples – visit one of the many volunteer sites online for many more ideas. Why not ask your morn or dad to volunteer too, and make it a family activity?
Once you volunteer, you will quickly learn that giving has its own rewards（回报）. You won't get paid, but the feeling you get from helping others is much more special than getting money. Give it a try. You won't be disappointed（失望的）!

　　You feel happiest when you create a healthy balance between giving and receiving．If you give and give without making time to fill your own needs, then it’s likely you will burn out, or feel upset．When you take and take without giving anything back, you never feel fulfilled, so you are always searching for ways to fill the void in your life．

　　The way to create a healthy balance between giving and receiving is to know and then live by your values．I break values up into two groups which I call being and having values．Your being values are the character traits of the ideal person you would like to be．I suggest to my clients that they choose three being values that they are willing to make a commitment to live by．An example of some being values are：kind, loving, generous, inspirational, peaceful, wise and even powerful．By acting on these values you give to others through your actions and you inspire others by being a positive role model．Mastering being these character traits becomes your life purpose．

　　Your having values are the feelings you need to create in order to be happy．These could be companionship, achievement, support, being valued or financial security．This is what you receive．You take responsibility for filling your own needs by taking steps to create these feelings and conditions in your life．

　　When you make a commitment to live by your being values, it becomes easier to make conscious choices rather than reactionary ones．If your usual pattern is to talk about your problems, you could choose to think and act like a calm person．A calm person might go for a walk, meditate(沉思)，or set a time limit before responding．If your usual pattern is to worry, you could choose to act like a responsible or wise person．In other words, you would act like the person you choose to be－this is the key to personal power．

　　When you choose to act on your values, you not only feel good about yourself, you reinforce(加强)your chosen beliefs．Over time acting in this way changes how you see the world, and in turn the way other people think of you．

(1)

The main purpose of this passage is to ________．
[　　]

[　　]
A．	gain a lot of power
B．	form positive personality
C．	seek all human virtues
D．	fill your own needs

(3)

The underlined word “void” in Paragraph 1 means ________．
[　　]
A．	a feeling of emptiness
B．	an absence of one’s mind
C．	a break of continuity
D．	a state of confusion

(4)

What can be inferred from the text?
[　　]
A．	Having values are better than being values．
B．	A calm person does not choose to complain．
C．	The way other people think of you decides who you are．
D．	A responsible person does not care about financial security．

　　Do you enjoy travelling to other countries? There is a saying that goes, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.”

　　If you plan to travel to Japan, it may be helpful to know something about eating out and gifts before you go.

　　When eating out, before you eat a meal, you should be given a basket with a hot towel in it. Use this towel to clean your hands and then put it back in the basket. Be sure to wait until the older people at your table pick up their chopsticks before you begin eating.

　　You will find gifts are important. Do remember not to give anything of four--the word “four”is similar to the word of “death”.
