高考题型提能练三 Unit 3 Celebration Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2016·江西省六校联考)Like most people, I was brought up to look upon life as a process of getting. It was not until in my late thirties that I made this important discovery: giving away makes life so much more exciting. You need not worry if you lack money.

As I was about to leave, the postmaster appeared in the doorway. He had overheard (无意中听到) our conversation. “Wasnt 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.
