29、世界各地人们受到他人善举的事件和传统。1.G根据空前“It could happen anywhere at any time.”(它可以发生在任何时间任何地点)可推知这是不可预测的,故可对应到G选项中的“unexpected”,即它通常不可预测,故选G项。2.D根据空前“The seller did her a kindness when it appeared she didnt have any change to pay.”可知,当发现她没有零钱可付时,卖家帮了她一个忙。故选D项“她为这件事开心了一整天”,前后句连贯通顺。3.F本段讲述的是那不勒斯市有一个悠久的传统。下文为描述这一传统
