训练20 阅读理解＋完形填空＋语法填空＋书面表达(建议用时60分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解Year of Giving
Yesterday I started the Year of Giving，my first day of a yearlong 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 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 $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 saidding 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 yearlong 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.

D．fulfill a wish of his mum
2．In the author's first attempt to give away the money，

One possible version： As is known to all，Valentine's Day is popular all over the world，while China has its own Valentine's Day，called Qiqiao Festival.
Qiqiao Festival falls on the 7th day of the 7th month of the lunar year，which has been celebrated by Chinese since ancient times.It comes from a beautiful Chinese love story about Zhinü and Niulang.This story has passed down from generation to generation.It is said that very few magpies are seen on Qiqiao Festival，because most of them fly to the Milky Way，where they form a bridge so that the two lovers might come together.
Chinese young lovers celebrate it every year，sending each other flowers or other gifts standing for love，having a gettogether and so on.As far as I'm concerned，Qiqiao Festival is a wonderful holiday because only in this way can we show how we value love and tradition in a Chinese way.
Yours，
Li Hua
