　　Write a note.
　　　18　　It is one thing to say it,but it can be even more meaningful to put it in writing.What if you made a commitment to write a thank−you note to someone every week?
　　　19
　　You never know what someone might be going through−a painful divorce,a tough college semester,or just a bad day.Opening up your home will make someone feel appreciated.In addition,it costs less than going out.The leftovers from this dinner can be packaged up for homeless people.That's double giving!

　　Giving doesn't have to mean a life full of sacrifices(牺牲).You can still buy a burger.　　20

Donate the money you save:Even$5can make a difference in someone's life.

A.Give a gift to the stomach.
B.Invite someone over for dinner.
C.To take your awareness to a new level,move beyond money.
D.But instead of buying much coffee every week,you can drink less.
E.While some people enjoy receiving gifts,all of us appreciate a kind word.
F.Instead,they allow you to examine how your time and money are spent.
G. Be there to celebrate their good news,or support them with sympathy.

答案： 16.F 上句说经济困难并不意味着要停止付出，相反它们会考查你的时间和金钱是如何花费的，其中they与前句times一致。故选F项。17.G 上句“They may be filled with joy or sadness.”刚好对应G句中好消息和同情。故选G项。18.E 由主旨句“Write a note”可知，下文应该是选择写便条的方式来表示感激，这和E句大意相符。故选E项。19.B 下文提到敞开家门和剩饭菜，对应B项请客吃饭。故选B项。20.D 由主旨句“Set aside money from a daily routine to donate”可知，下文应该举例说明如何节约，选项D中不每周买咖啡就是节约。故选D项。
