When we give our kids holiday gifts, many of us can’t wait to hear their appreciative cries of“thank you!”once the wrapping gets ripped off. But here’s a tip: You’d be wise not to expect much gratitude from them for what they receive.

Gratitude can make us happier, healthier, and even fitter. But do the kids show their gratitude for the stuff we buy them? All the research I’ve done has convinced me that it won’t happen. One mom told me that when she asked her 16-year-old son to thank her for buying him a cellphone, he said, “But that’s what moms should do.” From a teenager’s angle, it’s a parent’s responsibility to take care of the family. According to Dunham, Yale’s assistant professor of psychology, “When teenagers code it that way, a gift is no longer something given freely and voluntarily”—it’s just mom and dad living up to their obligation.

Parents do have the right to demand good manners and children should thank sincerely whoever gives them something. But kids can’t know how blessed they are unless they have a basis for comparison. And they don’t learn that by a parent complaining that they’re ungrateful. We need to give our children the gift of a wider world view. Show by example that gratitude isn’t aboutstuff—which ultimately can’t make any of us happy anyway.It’s about realizing how lucky you are and paying your good fortune forward.

You can collect all the charitable appeals and sit down together with the kids to go through them. You set the budget for giving and the kids decide how it’s distributed. Once the conversation about gratitude gets started, it’s much easier to continue all year. Also you can set up a family routine at bedtime where kids describe three things that have made them grateful. When kids go off to college, you can text them a picture each week of something that inspires your appreciation.

Teaching children to focus on the positive and appreciate the good in their lives is perhaps the greatest gift we can give them. And we can all learn together that the things that really matter aren’t on sale at a department store.

1.How do children respond when receiving gifts from their parents?

A.They show no interest in their parents’ gifts.

B.They can’t wait to open their parents’ gifts.

C.They show much gratitude to their parents for the gifts.

D.They take their parents’ gifts for granted.

2.To make children grateful for what they have, parents should _________.

A.live up to their obligation

B.ask their children to have good manners

C.teach their children by setting an example

D.complain their children are ungrateful

3.What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?

A.No gifts are greater than teaching children to be positive and grateful.

B.Children ought to realize how lucky they are to have considerate parents.

C.Children are supposed to decide how to distribute their own money

D.It is easy for parents to start the conversation about gratitude.

4.What’s the purpose of the author writing this text?

A.To explain the reason why children offer no gratitude to their parents.

B.To give advice to parents on how to help children develop gratitude.

C.To encourage parents to do things together with their children.

D.To remind parents of their responsibility to educate their children.

Many of us are quick to blame others for how we feel: “He makes me so mad!" or “She really hurt my feelings. "But did someone really" make me angry "or are we felling the anger in us getting kicked up in response to the way someone behaved towards us？

The difference between the two is in who the responsible party is for the way we feel. If we blame others for our feelings we will eventually feel reasonable at whatever our retaliation（报复）may be，and we will explain that it was their fault，not ours. "They were driving me mad”.

When we blame others for the way we feel we have in fact given power to others for the state of our emotional wellbeing（健康）. The truth is，no one controls our feelings but us. If we are finding that people in our lives really know how to" push our buttons" then we are not doing a good enough job at protecting our " buttons. "We are the ones leaving our buttons out in the open so that other people can" push them. "Ultimately，the switch for our buttons is inside us-not on the outside.

While there are some things in life that are clearly out of our control，like the weather or a flight that's two hours late，how we act and respond to other people's behavior is not among them. Our responses to others are well within our control.

If someone is "making us" so mad，for example，that we get angry，we are not doing enough to learn about what drives our anger and how to properly cope with it. My suggestion is taking time before you get angry. and putting some work into taking an inventory（清单）of the past. An inventory can show you how much of your past experiences influence your feeling reactions in the current moment.

When we finally realize that so much of our present feelings and reactions are driven from within ourselves and our own past experiences，we will be ready to make the changes in our lives that will better secure our buttons so that they are no longer left out in public for everyone to push at will.

1.What result will appear if we blame others for our emotions?

A.We consider others to be correct.

B.We consider ourselves to be correct.

C.We consider we were driving ourselves mad.

D.We consider they were driving themselves mad.

2.What's the author's attitude towards feelings?

A.We should blame others for the way we feel.

B.We should enable others to control our feelings.

C.We should let others know our daily life clearly.

D.We should control personal feelings ourselves.

3.According to the author, which can always be under our control?

A.The weather conditions.

B.The delay of a flight

C.Other people's feelings.

D.Our own behavior.

4.Which proverb best suits the author's advice in Paragraph 5?

A.A burden of one's choice is not felt.

B.A friend is easier lost than found.

C.Think twice before acting.

D.A good beginning is half done.

5.What does the underlined phrase "push our buttons" probably mean in Paragraph3?

A.Force us to do a god job.

B.Make us angry.

C.Take off our buttons.

D.Let us down.
