Would you like to improve the culture in your classroom and your life? Try gratitude (感激).

In the past ten years, gratitude has made me teach better, thank my students, grow in my work, and enjoy life. Using gratitude, I am able to model one of the most important lessons in life, having a positive attitude (积极的态度), especially about the ways of life that used to challenge me most, which is the biggest change for me.

To get started in your classroom with gratitude, I suggest actually writing your own gratitude list for a few weeks and feeling its power. Then you can share your example and start the activity with your students.

My students use a notebook and start every day by writing five things about gratitude. Once a week, we go around the class and share our favorite gratitude. This helps build a positive culture in our classroom. I am always encouraged and surprised by what my students share.

Keeping a gratitude journal helps student achieve higher grades, higher goals and more joy with relationships, life, and school and they prefer to give back. Keeping a gratitude journal makes both students and adults be more positive, experience more social satisfaction, exercise more often, have fewer physical problems, and sleep better.

I see these positive changes in my students. One of them shared gratitude journals with her family. Her mom was in a nursing school and was very stressed. At the dinner table, they would share their gratitude for the day and grow as a family. The mom came to me and thanked me for teaching gratitude to her daughter and cheering up her family.

1.What was the biggest change in the writer after trying gratitude?

A.She enjoyed the pressure of life. B.She was more skilled at teaching.

C.She could stay positive about life. D.She could get on well with her students.

2.What does the underlined word“This”in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A.Listening to others’ true ideas. B.Keeping the daily gratitude in mind.

C.Students’ sharing their gratitude in class. D.The writer’s telling her life stories to students.

3.According to Paragraph 5, keeping a gratitude journal 　　　　 .

A.is good for students’ study and health B.can be difficult for some students

C.can always bring good things to people D.is not fit for little children

4.Why does the writer give the example of a girl’s family?

A.To introduce a way to be more helpful.

B.To explain why she began trying gratitude.

C.To tell how her students finished perfect gratitude journals.

D.To show gratitude journals even helped a student’s family.

5.What would be the best title for the text?

A.Gratitude — a way to become successful. B.Gratitude — a way for your family to get together.
