We always enjoy pointing out some unusual holidays to add to your calendar. Now jot these down, learn something new and have fun!
Random Acts of Kindness Day （February 17）
If you have encountered a homeless person and given money, that's a random act of kindness. The idea of this day is to get lots of people doing something kind for someone they don't know with no expectation of getting anything in return. This concept is trickier with social distancing but even a big smile and a “hi!’’ from across the street qualifies.
I Forgot Day （July 2）
Did you forget to call Grandma on her birthday or return that soccer ball you borrowed from a friend three months ago? Today is a good day to clean the slate. Make a list of things you meant to do but forgot. Work through the list, and don't get discouraged if you don't accomplish everything in one day. Just remember to keep the list in. a place where you'll see it. Otherwise, you know what will happen. DOGust First （August 1）
If your family is one of the many that adopted dogs from animal shelters last year, you may not know, for example, Luna or Cooper's actual birthday. The North Shore Animal League thought of that problem in 2008 and picked today as the birthday of all shelter dogs. Give your pup extra love today, and consider what you can do to help other sheller dogs.
World Vegetarian Day （October 1）
It’s not hard to go without meat for one day, but how about one month? The North American Vegetarian Society asks people to help reduce greenhouse gases by pledging to cat no meat, fish or fowl （basically chicken or turkey） in October. The pledge is tricky for kids to make on their own because Mom and Dad are usually in charge of preparing meals. Ask them if you can participate or if the whole family could try it. You will probably be surprised about how many tasty meals are meatless. 1. Which can be described as a random act of kindness?

细节理解题。由第二段“The idea of this day is to get lots of people doing something kind for someone they don't know with no expectation of getting anything in return.”可知，这一天的想法是让很多人为一个他们不认识的人做一些事情，而不期望得到任何回报。故选D项——萨利在电梯里对一个陌生人问好。 【2题详解】
推理判断题。第三段最后一句是“Otherwise, you know what will happen.”因为前面说的记清单是为了完成那些之前遗忘的事，需要把清单放在能看到的地方，后面说“否则”，潜台词就是如果放在看不到的地方就会忘记这个清单，忘记要做的事。故选A 【3题详解】
