  参考答案及解析:

  1.A 由接下去的两句话“大多数人都要寻求回报”“我也是这样的”可知,此处意为只有付出,不求回报是“很难”做到的。

  2. B 由最后一段中的to spend on a stranger也可得到启示。

  3. B 跟着一部摄影机,自然是用来“纪录”他们是如何用这笔钱的。

  4. B 指在这人群中有两姐妹显得特别“耀眼或突出(stand out)”。其它选项:stand up站起来,stand by袖手旁观,stand for象征。

  5. D 是“My sister’s House”的同位语,指帮助受虐妇女儿童的“庇护所(shelter)”。

  6. C 指前文put their money together,应为combine their money。

  7. C 通过她们宣传后,人们打电话来“捐赠(donate)”钱物等。

  8. D 与前文often对应,指我经常期待从别人处获取但却很少付出。

  9. C 由后文because a smile is contagious可知,此处指我对不认识的人“微笑”。
