If a friend helps us, it’s a good idea to write him a thank-you note. But in fact, how many of us sit down to do this? “People don’ t seem to walk around giving thanks to people quite often,” Professor Kumar said. Why don’t people like to send thank-you notes? And how do people feel when they get one?
Kumar and his team asked some students to write a thank-you note to another person by email. Then, they asked both the writer and the receiver how sending or getting these notes made them feel. Here is the result.
They found that these writers didn’t like to write the notes because they felt like they had to think too much about them. They worried about what to say and how to say it. The receivers, however felt enjoyable when they got the notes. When you are a receiver, you really care about the warmth of the note, “Kumar says. “How friendly and warm was it?”
Also, the writers didn’t like to write the notes because they thought it might be awkward (尴尬的) for the receiver to get a thank-you note. But in fact, it’s not true. “They feel quite happy,” Kumar says. “They don’t really feel awkward at all.” If people knew that writing a thank-you note could be so important to others, they would do it more often, Kumar says.
In a word, simple and small changes in our everyday lives can make a big difference in how we treat (对待) other people and how we feel.
1.We know from the passage that if a friend helps us, it’s a good idea to ________.
A.just say thank you B.write him a thank-you note
C.sit down with him D.get a thank-you note from him
2.According to the passage, ________ can make a big difference in how we treat other people and how we feel.
