第三部分:阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分, 满分40分）

阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Interestingly enough, I experienced two realizations today during Day 2 of the Kindness Challenge. I would like to share them here.

I noticed that when I began my day and remembered that I needed to complete my challenge, I thought: “I have to engage in a kindness act today, ” Immediately I noticed how my body tightened up when thinking about it, particularly the “have” part of it.

In my past, generosity and kindness were just a way of being, and not a requirement, so now that it was required for me to join in and then complete a Kindness act, I hated it. Then. I realized that I didn’t “have” to do anything, all I “have” to do was just be me, and then Kindness flowed.

As I was trying to figure out and plan which act of kindness I was going to perform, I realized that I was looking for bigger actions. Then I remembered the words of Mother Teresa: “We can do no great things, only small things with great love. ” It was then when I began acknowledging the little things as potentially big — the smiles, the hellos, the good mornings. These little things can have such a ripple(连锁)effect in people’s life that can essentially contribute to their own wellbeing and the wellbeing of others around them.

At the gym this morning, I went into the changing room after I passed through a set of glass doors. In the corner of my eyes, I acknowledged somebody behind me going in the same direction, I turned around, headed back towards the door, and opened it for him. With a GREAT Big smile, he said: “Thank you!”

My whole behavior changed after that.

His whole behavior changed after that...

I am truly humbled and honored that for a brief moment I was part of that change.

Many Blessings to you All!
