Rueda never got a ___6___ to say “thank you” to the woman ___7___ she’s now paying it forward. “Even though this was many years ago, I ___8___ think about her all the time,” she said. She had a box and three bags of diapers at her home, so she posted an ___9___ message on the Internet, sharing the story of the stranger who ___10___ her.

1.1.

A save

B share

C use

D donate

解析:选C。C 考查动词辨析。从后面的“she had left before payday”可以得知她考虑是否“用(use)”身上所有的钱给孩子买纸尿裤。该题容易误选B,认为Rueda是把自己的钱“分享(share)”出去,然而此时的Rueda是一个没有钱的人,根本不可能把自己的钱分享给其他人。故选C。

2.2.

A stood

3.3.

A peace
