　　答案：C阅读下列材料，从每题所给的选项中选出最佳选项。Countless people long to make a difference this holiday season, yet they don't realize that opportunities to make a difference are everywhere.Here are some ideas to get you started.

　　Organize a blank drive

　　It is cold outside, but imagine how thousands of homeless people may feel without a home of their own, or even a blanket to keep them from the cold. Organize a blank drive for your local homeless, and ask around for donations!

　　Practice random acts of kindness

　　I'll never forget the time when I went to pay for my Dr. Pepper, but the server resisted, saying my bill was paid by an anonymous(匿名的) guest. It's this random act of kindness that restores my faith in humanity. Bless someone by paying for their drink at Starbucks, or praising them! If you live somewhere where it snows, shovel your neighbour's snow out of their driveway for them! Whether it is as simple as praise or as complex as paying the bill, you'll never know how far your impact will reach.
