二、阅读理解。

阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容选择正确答案。

A

Getting in the habit of giving and receiving help builds good relationships. It makes us feel more care. It stops stress from building because we know someone else is thinking about us. And if there is a problem, we’re shari ng it before it gets too big. It just feels great to help.

Try these small practices at home and see how they make you feel:

＊Help your little brother or sister with a homework problem.

＊Help your dad prepare dinner.

＊Help your mom carry living goods.

＊Offer to do a chore that’s not usually yours “just because” .

There’s more to it than just feeling good: Kindness is contagious. It can create more kindness. So you might start to notice your family (or friends) reaching out to help more.

Just don’t fall into the trap (陷阱) of expectation. If we help out only because we expect the other person to do something in return, we will probably end up feeling disappointed and angry instead of happy and fulfilled. So decide to help simply because of the positive feelings it creates. Then, when someone else does something nice for you, it’s a wonderful surprise.

Giving and receiving is one of the most basic friendship skills. With a good network of supportive people, we are less stressed. We feel loved and understood, so we’re bette r able to solve problems, bounce back from disappointments, and try again.
