Starting in 2012, now the global event that is celebrated annually on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving is the brainchild of 92nd Street Y, a cultural center in New York City and United Nations Foundation.As the name indicates, Giving Tuesday is meant to restart the charitable season and therefore observed by raising funds for local nonprofits and schools, organizing food and clothing drives, and conducting random acts of kindness. In 2015, 700, 000 people from 71 countries came together to donate $116.7 million in cash. An additional $1.08 million was spent on gifts.While the easiest way to participate is by donating to your favorite charity, this day can be celebrated in many other ways too. You can give back by volunteering at your local shelter or food bank, or even by donating blood. If all else fails, a purchase from the growing number of organizations that give a portion of their sales to charity will do the trick.But perhaps the best way to celebrate the day is by helping those nearest and dearest to you. Assist a family member with a simple chore like folding laundry, cooking dinner, or even reading to a younger sibling. No matter what you do, be sure to share you good deed on social media and inspire others to celebrate Giving Tuesday as well!1、Which of the following has the shortest history?ACyber Monday BGiving TuesdayCBlack Friday DThanksgiving Day2、Whats the main purpose of “Giving Tuesday”?ATo persuade more people to shop onlineBTo make Thanksgiving Day enjoyableCTo encourage more people to do charitiesDTo get voluntary work better known3、Why does the author advise sharing good deeds on social media?ATo donate money to local schoolsBTo keep a record of ones experienceCTo help people make new frien
