2019年公共英語二級閱讀理解專項試題（十五）
Like most people，1 was brought up to look upon life as a process of getting It was not until in my late thirties that 1 made this important discovery：giving-away makes life so much more exciting You need not worry if you lack money This is how 1 experimented with giving-away.If an idea for improving the window display of a neighborhood store flashes to me，I step in and make the suggestion to the storekeeper.One discovery I made about giving-away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world without getting something back，though the return often comes in all unexpected form.One Sunday morning the local post office delivered an important special delivery letter to my home，though it was addressed to me at my Office.1 wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation More than a year later I needed a post—office box for a new business 1 was starting 1 was told at the window that there were no boxes left，and that my name would have to go on a long waiting list.As 1 was about to leave，the postmaster appeared in the doorway.He had overheard(無意中聽到)our conversation.“Wasn’t it you that wrote US that letter a year ago about delivering a special delivery to your home?”I said yes“Well，you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if we have to make one for you.You don’t know what a letter like that means to us. We usually get nothing but complaints.’’

和大多數(shù)人一樣，我從小被灌輸?shù)氖巧且粋�不斷獲取的過程。直到我30多歲快40的時候，有了這么一個重要的發(fā)現(xiàn)：給予使生命更加精彩。就算你沒有錢也無需擔憂做不到。我是這么嘗試給予的。如果可以改善附近一家鋪子櫥窗擺設(shè)的好點子忽然閃現(xiàn)在我的腦海中，我會走進這間店鋪，和店主說說的建議。對于給予我的一大發(fā)現(xiàn)是，付出總有回報，不過有的時候回報的形式是你始料未及的。、一個周日的早晨，當?shù)氐泥]局往我家送了一封重要的特快專遞，其實信封上寫的是我辦公室的地址，信卻被專門送到家里。為此我給郵政局長寫了一封感謝信。一年多過去了，我由于新業(yè)務(wù)的開展去郵局申請新的郵箱。但是我被告知暫時沒有多余的信箱了，要等的話也要排很長的名單才能輪到我。當我打算離開郵局的時候，無意中聽到我們談話的郵政局長出現(xiàn)在門口。他問我：“是不是你一年前寫了封感謝我們特快專遞服務(wù)的信啊?”我說是。他繼續(xù)說：“你當然馬上就能擁有一個信箱了，我們這就給你弄一個。你不了解這種感謝信對我們意義多么大。通常我們除了抱怨什么也得不到。”
