Question

【題目】 We usually hear people say "thank you" for getting help. Some people also keep a diary to write down what they're thankful for each day. Others show kindness to people every day. In the workplace, some people take the time to tell others how helpful they are. People practice gratitude in different ways every day. Why should we thank the people and the things around us?

Gratitude is selfless act. It helps you to learn to be empathetic. If you always know the goodness in life and give thanks to others it will be easier for you to find out the needs of others and to offer help whenever you can. Being empathetic to others' opinions and experiences will make you a better parent and friend.

Your health condition will be improved if you are always thankful for the people and things around you. According to Robert Emmons, a leading researcher, thankful people always feel healthier, both mentally and physically. Those who are thankful are 25% happier than those who aren't.

Gratitude is also a useful tool to form better relationships with friends, family members and so on. People who express their gratitude always prefer to forgive others and therefore are able to create long-lasting relationships.

The old saying goes "It's never too late to say you're sorry," but the same is true of gratitude. Take the time to thank people for their work or kindness-whether it was today, last month or many years ago. Practicing gratitude doesn't take much time, and it will make you happier and healthier. And that's a gift worth celebrating 365 days a year.

【解析】

感恩是一種優(yōu)良的品質(zhì)，人貴有感恩之心。其實有一顆感恩之心對我們以及這個社會是非常有好處的，它能讓我們有同理心，感知生活的美好；有感恩心的人會更健康、更快樂；有感恩心有助于我們和家人、朋友建立更好的關(guān)系。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第一段 “Some people also keep a diary to write down what they're thankful for each day. Others show kindness to people every day. In the workplace, some people take the time to tell others how helpful they are.”可知，這里提到了三種表達感恩的方式：寫日記、對別人表現(xiàn)出善意以及花費時間告訴別人他們是多么的樂于助人。故選A。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第二段 “If you always know the goodness in life and give thanks to others it will be easier for you to find out the needs of others and to offer help whenever you can.”可知，感恩有助于我們有同理心，感知生活的美好。如果你總是感恩別人，你就更容易發(fā)現(xiàn)別人的需要，并且提供幫助。故選C。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文第二段 “Being empathetic to others' opinions and experiences will make you a better parent and friend.”和第四段 “Gratitude is also a useful tool to form better relationships with friends, family members and so on.”可知，有同理心會使我們成為更好的父母和朋友，而且感恩對于朋友、家庭成員建立更好的關(guān)系是非常有用的。由此可推知，如果我們懂得感恩，我們的友誼就會更長久。故選C。

【4】主旨大意題。根據(jù)短文第二段 “It helps you to learn to be empathetic.”、第三段 “Your health condition will be improved if you are always thankful for the people and things around you.”、第四段 “Gratitude is also a useful tool to form better relationships with friends, family members and so on.”以及第五段 “Practicing gratitude doesn't take much time, and it will make you happier and healthier.”可知，文章講述了擁有一顆感恩心的好處，其目的是鼓勵我們實踐感恩。故選A。

這是一篇非常美的文章，短文給我們闡述了感恩心的好處，鼓勵我們在生活中懷有感恩之心，感恩身邊的人。文章主題明確，敘述清晰，將深刻的道理結(jié)合日常生活中的例子進行闡述，使文意更容易理解。題型是閱讀理解，考查了細節(jié)理解、推理判斷和主旨大意。細節(jié)題考查學生們對文章具體事實信息的理解，答案常可以在原文找到。第1小題和第2小題是兩個細節(jié)題，但并不是非常容易解讀，學生們需要注意將原文的文意與選項進行比對，選擇與原文意思相同的。如第2小題，根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞…give thanks to others可定位到答案所在的句子“If you always know the goodness in life and give thanks to others it will be easier for you to find out the needs of others and to offer help whenever you can.”，結(jié)合選項可知C與原文同意。主旨大意題問的是文章的寫作目的，結(jié)合文意可知，短文講述了擁有一顆感恩心的好處，其目的是鼓勵我們實踐感恩，故A選項最符合文意。
