In our life, we don’t often expressed our gratitude(感激) to the one who’d lived those years with us. In fact, we don’t have to wait for anniversaries to thank the ones closet to us--- the ones so easily overlooked(忽视). If I have learned anything about giving thanks, it is time to give it now! While your feeling of appreciation is alive and sincere, act on it. Saying thanks is such an easy way to add to the world’s happiness.

Saying thanks not only brightens someone else’ world, it brightens yours. If you’re feeling left out, unloved or unappreciated, try reaching out to others. It may be just the medicine you need,

Of course, there are times when you can’t express gratitude immediately. In that case don’t let embarrassment sink you into silence--- speak up the first time you have the chance.

Once a young minister, Mark Brian, was sent to a remote parish of Kwakiutl Indians in British Columbia. The Indians, he had been told, did not have a word for thanking you. But the Brian soon found these people had exceptional generosity. Instead of saying thanks, it is their custom to return every favor with a favor of their own, and every kindness with an equal or superior kindness. They do their thanks.

I wonder if we had no words in our vocabulary for thanking you, would we do a better job of communicating our gratitude? Would we be more responsive, more sensitive, more caring?

1.What is the main idea of this passage?

A. Thanks for everything.　　 B. Caring others.　　 C. Expressing yourself.　　 D. Helping each other.

2.What is the purpose of the writer in writing this passage?

A. Praise thanks.　　 B. Solve problems in life.

C. Thank everyone.　　 D. Let the reader know the importance of expressing thanks in life.

3.Why does the writer give the example in the 4th paragraph?

A. It indicates (显示，指出) the Indians did not thank you.

B. It indicates the Indians didn’t know to thank you.

C. It indicates that thanking you exists everywhere.

D. It indicates that Mark Brian got thanks.

4.What does the underlined word “left out” in the second paragraph mean?

A. go to another place　　 B. be ignored　　 C. give out　　 D. leave for

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?

Someday in the future we may not need to have money in our pockets. Is life easier when people don’t need to carry any currency at all? Is money heavy to carry? Is it safe to carry money? Maybe in the future each of us will have only one small plastic credit card. We will use it to buy all the things we now buy with money. We will not need money to pay for things.

Of course we may still have some of the same problems with cards we now have with money. Sometimes we lose money. Maybe we will lose the cards. Maybe someone will take the card.

In our program, we explore(探究)the meaning of expressions in American English. We often take terms and examine them from "head to toe"------looking at each and every detail----making sure not to ignore(忽视) anything.

1.While listening to this program, you need to stay on your toes. We will give one example after another. So, you' ll need to listen closely or you might miss something. Staying or keeping on your toes not only means to pay close attention. 2. This expression comes from the fact you are ready to jump off a ball into action. The phrase " keeping on your toes" is different from "tiptoeing around". When you are on your toes, you are ready to take action. 3. If you are not balanced, you are about to fall down. As we can see, "tiptoeing around" has something with being not direct. So, in American English, "to tiptoe around something" means to talk out something in an indirect (不直接的) way.

4. If we have some problems or do something wrong in our lives, our parents or teachers advise us not to avoid them. Instead, we should face them directly and bravely. 5.

And that' s “Words and Their Stories” for this week. Thanks for listening.

A. But when standing on your tip toes, you are not very balanced.

B. Our parents or teachers may tell us, " Don ' t tiptoe around ! "

C. Speaking of toes, let ' s talk about them for a minute.

D. Here is an example of this expression.

E. It also means to be ready to act out.

We often reach a point in our life when we should be ready for change that will help us unlock our self-improvement power. However, there’s always something staring at us right under our nose but we don’t see it. The only time we think of unlocking our self-improvement power is when everything gets worst.

When do we realize that we need to change diets? When none of our shirts and jeans would fit us. When do we stop eating candies and chocolates? When all of our teeth have fallen off. When do we realize that we need to stop smoking? When our lungs have gone bad. We see the warning signs and signals when things get rough and difficult.

The only time most of us ever learn about unlocking our self-improvement power is when the whole world is falling apart. We think and feel this way because it is not easy to change, but change becomes more painful when we ignore(忽视) it，

Change will happen, like it or hate it. At one point or another. we are all going to finally unlock our self-improvement power not because the world says so. But because we realize it's for our own good.

Happy people don’t just accept change; they embrace (拥抱)it. Unlocking our self-improvement power means unlocking ourselves out of the box of thought that is just the way we are. It is such a poor excuse for people who fear change.

Jane always tells everyone that she doesn't have the courage to be around groups of people. She heard her family tell the same things about her to other people. Over the years, that is what Jane has believed. Every time a great crowd come, she steps back and locks herself up in a room. Jane not only believes in her story, but lives it!

Self-improvement may not be everybody’s favorite word, but if we look at things in a different way, we might have greater chances of enjoying the whole process instead of counting the days until we are fully improved. Three sessions in a week at the gym would result in a healthier life. Reading books every day would build up knowledge. And only when we are enjoying the whole process of unlocking our self-improvement power will we realize that we’re beginning to take things light and become happy.

1.The writer mentions the three questions in Paragraph 2 to show that　　　　 .

A. we learn our lessons when we experience pain.

B. we are responsible for the problems we meet.

C. life fails us when we get into the wrong way.

D. life is a long journey full of ups and downs.

2.What is the key to solving Jane’s problem?

A. She needs to remember why she started.

B. She has to know how to get on with people.

C. She has to realize she is not what she is in her story.

D. She needs to understand the importance of confidence.

3.The writer probably agrees that　　　　 .

A. the world tells us how to improve ourselves.

B. people change when they find it easy to do that.

C. welcoming change in life is a drive to become better.

D. enjoying the process of self-improvement makes life simpler.

4.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A. Is it important to take things light?

B. Is it necessary to embrace challenges?

C. To hold on to the last moment or to give up?

D. To free ourselves out of the box or to stay in it?

Talk with someone

When you talk with your friends and they can understand how you feel, it starts you on the path to refreshing. It also helps you to see yourself in less limiting ways, so you can get back to being who you want to be.

Get out of the house

Getting out can be hard i fyou feel like you don’t want to be around people. That’s OK for now, but at least make yourself walk to a place with a nice view or a place that brings you some peace. A change of scenery and fresh air will help you recover.

Watch a comedy

I know when you’re in a low mood, you may not want to make yourself laugh. But the cycle of sadness must be broken so you can get back to your normal life, and this is a very easy way to start.

Smile

The smiling actually releases chemicals in your brain that make you want to smile more and make you feel better. Go to a public place and wear that smile. People will smile back, and that will make you feel happier.

The idea here is to make your life better, and no one can do that but you. Please give it a chance. You’d be surprised at how easy it is to feel better when you do things to help yourself.
