Since her husband died, Mrs. Jackson has lived alone in their big old suburban (郊區(qū)的) house. The house was bought by her husband almost fifty years ago.

For the sake of safety (為安全起見(jiàn)), her son has tried hard to ask her to sell the house and buy a new and small one in the town. But Mrs. Jackson doesn’t like the idea. She says that she has to look after her husband’s old house. But recently she often hears stories about unknown people stealing things around here.

That was a cold day before Christmas Eve. Around four o’clock in the afternoon, Mrs. Jackson was enjoying the Christmas music when someone knocked at the door. She heard the sound but didn’t move. Another knock. Who could it be? Mrs. Jackson was a bit afraid. She decided not to answer the door but keep waiting.

One minute another minute and yet another minute. Nothing happened and no more knocks. She walked quietly to the door, and listened. She heard nothing but the wind outside. She slowly unfastened the door and peeped (窺視) through the crack (小縫). She then gave a surprised cry and threw the door wide open! At the door she saw a tall, beautiful Christmas tree! In the tree stood a Christmas card with these words:

Merry Christmas!

Your new neighbor

Throughout our childhood our parents taught us to say “thank you” and it has become a habit — something we say automatically (自動(dòng)地), along with “please”. And because of this we have forgotten just how important gratitude is and how essential it is in leading fulfilled (感到滿足的) lives.

Just for a minute, think of all the things you are grateful for, such as loving friends, good health, great holidays as well as everyday items such as a comfortable home, TV, and clean water. The list, in fact, could go on and on.

Now focus on events that have made you angry — it’s raining, the car won’t start, and a colleague (同事) makes you annoyed. You start to feel unhappy, and that is something that certainly does not make you feel good！

In fact, we have the ability to choose how we feel — it’s just our perception (認(rèn)識(shí)) of how things are. But for most of us, it just doesn’t seem easy.

Let me give you an example: it’s a rainy day, and immediately most people will start to complain, telling everyone who will listen what a miserable day it is, with the result that they end up feeling miserable themselves. But look at it another way and despite wet clothes and hair, both will dry perfectly well and no lasting harm has been done. And in addition to this, because of rain, we not only live in a green and beautiful landscape, we are also able to grow a lot of fruit and vegetables.

There really is no obvious reason for feeling miserable — in fact there is a great deal to be grateful for. It all depends on what we think about things.

Realize what a difference having gratitude can make to your life. That’s why gratitude is so special — use it to feel good!

68. What do we usually do automatically according to the author?

A. Focus on good things.                                  B. Prefer to feel good.

C. Express thanks orally.                                  D. Take many things for granted.

69. By the example in the fifth paragraph, the author advises us to _____.

A. see things in a different way                          B. refuse the unchangeable things

C. ignore the harm bad weather does                  D. listen to others’ complaints patiently

70. By writing the passage, the author mainly wants to tell us _____.

A. to think twice before we act                         

B. to be grateful for what we have

C. it is no use making complaints                      

D. saying “thank you” has many disadvantages
