Do’s and Don’ts of Donating

Giving up your unused or unwanted stuff is a great way to make space in your home for the items that you do enjoy on a regular basis. Not sure where to start? Here are some do’s and don’ts of donating your belongings.

Do Prepare Your Clothes

You’ve thoroughly cleaned out your closet and drawers, and have a mountain of clothing waiting to be donated. 【1】 Make sure all buttons are accounted for, and that you can’t see any dirty marks, or damage.

【2】

The number one rule of donating your stuff is to make sure that it’s in good, usable condition. Don’t pass along old clothes or furniture, chipped dishes, books that are missing pages, or toys with lost pieces. Nobody wants to accept your damaged belongings. Find a local company that will recycle these items instead.

Don’t even think of donating these items

With a little common sense it’s easy to figure out items that are ideal for donations.【3】As a gentle reminder, it’s never a good idea to donate car parts, dangerous waste, construction materials and weapons.

Don’t donate large appliances

Major appliances such as stoves, fridges, freezers, washers and dryers typically reside on the ‘do not donate’ list due to health and safety reasons. All items accepted for donation must be thoroughly clean and in good working order. With secondhand appliances, it can be difficult to guarantee that they fit the bill.【4】

Don’t donate recalled items

Every so often a product recall hits the news headlines. Highchairs, toys, holiday lights for Christmas trees—the list of recalled items due to safety concerns is endless. 【5】 A dangerous product should be thrown away, and not passed on to an unsuspecting person. Think of the well-being of others before dropping off something that’s viewed as a hidden danger in your own home.

A. They’re all acceptable items for donation, too.

B. Instead of donating an unwanted large appliance, call your local trash collection company and arrange for their safe disposal.

C. But unfortunately some people will throw away the contents of their home without a second thought.

D. Before you bag up these pieces, inspect each one to ensure that they’re in good condition and ready to be owned by someone else.

E. Don’t donate damaged items.

F. Clothes aren’t the only household items that can be donated.

G. Never donate recalled items!

【解析】试题分析：本文是一篇说明文。介绍捐赠时需要注意的事项。

【1】考查上下文理解和推理判断。根据段落标题和空格下文“Make sure all buttons are accounted for, and that you can’t see any dirty marks, or damage.”可知，本段讲述捐赠前的准备工作，需要保持捐赠物没有污渍、没有损坏，因此推断空格处选D项“在你打包以前，检查每一件物品确保它们都状况良好可以为别人拥有”合适。故D项正确。

【2】考查段落大意和推理判断。本段主要讲述捐赠最需要记住的是确保物品状况良好，可以使用，没有人想要坏掉的物品。因此推断空格处选E项“不要捐赠坏掉的东西”合适。故选E项正确。

【3】考查上下文理解和推理判断。本段讲述不能捐赠的物品。有点常识的人就知道哪些东西可以捐赠，因此推断空格处选C项“但是不幸地是，一些人不假思索就扔掉家里的东西”合适。故选C项正确。

【4】考查上下文理解和推理判断。本段讲述不要捐赠大电器，处于健康和安全考虑二手电器不能捐赠，因此推断空格处选B项“不要捐赠不受欢迎的大型电器，打电话给当地的垃圾收集公司让他们安全处理。”合适。故选B项正确。

【5】考查段落理解和推理判断。本段主要讲述危险物品应当扔掉，不要捐赠给别人，扔掉被看作是有隐藏危险的东西之前要考虑别人的健康，因此推断空格处选G项“不要捐赠召回产品”合适。故选G项正确。
