great ideas. “we look at different foods that people eat around the world,” says marciano. “the lesson,” he explains, “teaches students to admit that some people are unlucky. and it also gets them thinking about thanksgiving, about their lives, and about their biggest homework of the yearto find a way they can change the world.” last year, 12-year-old christian d. taught basic soccer skills to 63 kids with cancer. christians classmate brianna used the money she had raised to buy 56 teddy bears. she donated them to a womans shelter. both students say the experience taught them something theyll never forget: when we give something to others, were really giving thanks. and giving thanks feels good. “helping the woman smile, if just for a day, made me feel like i could make a difference,” brianna says. “and it taught me that i should always be thankful for what i have.”briannas happiness is something jeffrey froh knows about. froh studies how gratitude affects a persons mind and attitudes. those who are thankful are more likely to help others. grateful people and kids in particular are healthier and happier than those who are not.“grateful kids tend to be happier and more satisfied with their lives,” froh says. “kids who give thanks are happier with school, their families and their friends. grateful children also feel less envy toward others, are less likely to be depressed and even do better in school.” “to experience gratitude,” says froh, “a couple of things have to happen. first you have to notice that there is goodness in your life. then you have to admit that the reason for that goodness lies partially outside of yourself.”53. how did the students celebrate thanksgiving in marcianos class?a. they enjoyed different foods from the world.b. they expressed thanks to their teachers.c. they learnt about various thanksgiving foods.d. they thought of ideas for helping other people.54. the example of christian and brianna proves _.a. giving makes a

people.c. saying thanks is an experience of feeling pleasure in life.d. expressing gratitude makes you happier and healthier.di told my friend graham that i often cycle two miles from my house to the town centre but unfortunately there is a big hill on the route. “youre lucky,” he replied, explaining that i should be glad of the extra exercise that the hill provided.my attitude to the hill has now changed. i used to complain as i approached it but now i tell myself that the hill will exercise my body. it will help me lose weight and get fit. it means that i will live longer. this hill is my friend.from time to time, we all face problems, accidents and difficulties. while we cannot choose the adversity (逆境), we can choose our attitude towards it. douglas bader was 21 when he had both legs amputated (截) in a flying accident in 1931. he was determined to fly again and went on to become one of the leading flying aces (王牌飞行员) in the battle of britain with 22 aerial victories over the germans. he was an inspiration to others during the war. he said, “dont listen to anyone who tells you that you cant do this or that. make up your mind to try everything possible. but never let them persuade you that things are too difficult or impossible.”how can you change your attitude towards the adversity that you face? try these steps: do not avoid it. take a positive attitude and write down some benefits or advantages of the situation. imagine how you will feel when you overcome this obstacle. dont hesitate to take action. the biographies (传记) of great people are full of examples of
