Unit 5First aid.阅读理解When we give our kids holiday gifts,many of us cant wait to hear their appreciative cries of “thank you!” once the wrapping gets ripped off.But heres a tip: Youd 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 Ive done has convinced me that it wont 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 thats what moms should do.” From a teenagers angle,its a parents responsibility to take care of the family.According to Dunham,Yales assistant professor of psychology,“When teenagers code it that way,a gift is no longer something given freely and voluntarily its 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 cant know how blessed they are unless they have a basis for comparison.And they dont learn that by a parent complaining that theyre ungrateful.We need to give our children the gift of a wider world view.Show by example that gratitude isnt about stuffwhich ultimately cant make any of us happy anyway.Its 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 its distributed.Once the conversation about gratitude gets started,its 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 arent 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 cant 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 obligationB.ask their children to have good mannersC.teach their children by setting an exampleD.complain their children are ungrateful3.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.Whats 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.语篇解读:本文属于议论文。文章告诉我们现代社会中很多孩子对于自己得到的事物没有一颗感恩之心,作者针对这个现象给了我们一些建议,同时告诉我们教给孩子关注生活中积极的事情并感激生活中那些美好的事物是父母亲给孩子的最好礼物。答案及剖析:1.D细节理解题。根据第二段中的“From a teenagers angle,its a parents responsibility to take care of the family.”可知从青少年的角度出发,照顾家人是父母亲的责任,也就是说,他们把父母亲给他们礼物当成是理所当然的事情。2.C推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Show by example that gratitude isnt about stuffwhich ultimately cant make any of us happy anyway.”以及第四段可知作者建议父母亲通过给出例子教孩子学会感激。3.A细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Teaching children to focus on the positive and appreciate the good in their lives is perhaps the greatest gift we can give them.”可知A项正确。4.B主旨大意题。作者在前两段指出现代社会中很多孩子对于自己得到的事物没有一颗感恩之心。文章第三、四段主要对如何培养孩子的感恩之心向我们提出了一些建议。故B项正确。.七选五Everyone complains.Even if you argue that you are the happiest person in the world,you still complain sometimes.Sometimes you complain:without even realizing it,but rarely is it ever helpful.1. Here are some tips to stop complaint and give up the negative thoughts.2.When you find yourself thinking or saying a negative comment about something or someone,stop and force yourself to say something positive instead.Seek the help of a cheerful friend to change you when you complain and help you to see the positive in the situation.Make a list of things we are grateful for.We often complain about the things we dont have without noticing those things we already have.Be grateful for what we have in our life because we are lucky simply for being ourselves.3.Learn to adapt to the changes.There are many things we cant change.4.
