Expressing gratitude regularly is a wonderful habit to your children. In fact, studies have shown that people who feel gratitude on a daily basis are happier in general. Today we'll discuss ideas to help your children express their gratitude.
Make a gratitude tree. Start with a large piece of craft paper and draw a tree trunk. Then ask the kids to paint or color it in brown. Each day ask your kids to think of something they're thankful for.And they'll have a gratitude tree full of leaves one day.
Express your thankfulness to the ones you love.Print the photos in a 5'×7'size and ask the kids to write a short note on the back explaining why they're grateful to that person. Family members, especially those who don't live nearby, will cherish the present.
Pick a regular time, maybe one Saturday a month, and do some voluntary jobs as a family.One child may want to spend a day helping to clean up their favorite park while another might want to read books to nursing home residents.
Go grocery shopping for a family in need. Many stores now offer pre-made bags to donate right at the checkout line. While this is convenient, the larger the role they play in the act of giving, the bigger the effect it will have on your kids.
Taking time as a family to practice gratitude doesn't have to be difficult or time-consuming and the benefits your children will get are long-lasting.
A. It will make the experience much more powerful.
B. Let kids take pictures of themselves with their loved ones.
C. Keep gratitude journals.
D. Volunteer together.
E. If you can find a charity where you deliver the groceries , that's even better.
F. Write it on a green leaf and tape it to the tree trunk.
G. Let family members take turns to pick an activity that means something to them.
【答案】F;B;D;G;E
【解析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了在感恩节,老师要求孩子们画出他们想要感谢的东西。结果道格拉斯画了一只手,以此来表示对老师关心的感谢。告诉我们不同的人可能用不同的方式表示他们的感恩之心。
(1)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空前“Each day ask your kids to think of something they're thankful for.”每天都要让你的孩子去想一些他们感激的事情。再根据空后“And they'll have a gratitude tree full of leaves one day.”那么总有一天会有一棵感恩树。可知F,Write it on a green leaf and tape it to the tree trunk. “把它写在绿叶上,然后把它带到树干上。”符合题意。故选F。
(2)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空后“Print the photos in a 5'×7'size and ask the kids to write a short note on the back explaining why they're grateful to that person”把照片洗成5'×7'大小,要求孩子们在照片背面写上为什么感激这个人。可知上句的意思应该是:让孩子们和最钟爱的感激便条在一起拍照。故选B。
(3)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。此空是段落首句,相当于一个小标题。根据下文:挑选一个固定的时间,作为一个家庭做一些志愿工作。可知D. Volunteer together.符合题意。
(4)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空前“Pick a regular time, maybe one Saturday a month, and do some voluntary jobs as a family.”全家人去做志愿工作;再根据空后“One child may want to spend a day helping to clean up their favorite park while another might want to read books to nursing home residents.”一个孩子可能会花一天的时间帮助清理他们最喜欢的公园而另一个可能是想给疗养院居民读书。由此可知此处的意思是:让家人轮流挑选一件对自己有意义的活动。故选G。
(5)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空前“While this is convenient, the larger the role they play in the act of giving, the bigger the effect it will have on your kids.”尽管这个活动是方便的,他们在给予行为中扮演的角色越大,它对你孩子的影响越大。由此可知下文的意思是:如果你能找到一家能够邮递食品的慈善机构,那会更好。故选E。

【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
Andy never wanted to go to bed on time. His parents had explained to him how important it was to go to bed early and get a good rest. But Andy paid no attention to them, and they didn't know what to do until one weekend when they were visiting Andy's grandparents.
Grandpa Peter heard all about it and said, "This sounds like a job for Tubby." So Andy's parents loaded the cat onto the car and returned home.
That night, at bedtime, the same problem happened. Andy didn't want to go to bed, and even though his parents waited a while to see if Tubby would solve the problem, nothing happened.
Hours later, Andy finally decided to go to bed. But what a surprise when he entered his bedroom! Tubby was in his bed, totally sprawling out, pot-belly in the air, and snoring like an express train.
Andy tried to move the cat, but there was no way of moving him an inch. That night he hardly slept, lying on one tiny corner of his bed.
The next day the same thing happened, even though Andy was much more tired from not having slept well. When the third day arrived, he had understood that if he wanted to sleep in his bed, he would have to get into it before Tubby did. That night, when his parents only started to mention the topic of bedtime, Andy rushed upstairs and dived into bed. His parents could not believe it. They knew nothing about Tubby in the bed, nor did they understand why Andy went to bed on time without complaint. They were so happy about this that they stayed up quite late, celebrating.

【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
There are many idioms in English. An idiom is a phrase that we can't understand from the meaning of each word. The following are some of them.
As the crow flies
When a bird flies from place to place, it takes the most direct route. But when people drive, they have to follow roads and often go farther. When people give a distance "as the crow flies", they mean the shortest distance between the two points, not the distance you would have to travel by following roads.
As Dan and his mum drove along the river, they could see the beach on the opposite side. Dan asked "How far is it to the beach?"
"It's only about a quarter of a mile as the crow flies" his mother said.
Blow hot and cold
In one of Aesop's Fables, a man blows on his fingers to warm them up and then blows on his soup to cool it down. In both cases, the man is opening his mouth, but what comes out is different. If a person says one thing and later says the opposite, we say that the person is blowing hot and cold.
"Is Felicia going to try out for the soccer team this year?" Stacy asked.
"I don't know," Tricia replied." Last week she was saying yes, but this week she's saying no. She's really blowing hot and cold."
Break the ice
Nowadays people use the phrase to refer to ending an awkward silence by beginning a conversation.
It was the first day of summer camp. The four girls began to make their beds in silence. None of the girls knew each other, and no one knew what to say. Finally, one of them broke the ice by saying" Hey, where's everybody from?"
Bury the hatchet
In native American culture, when two nations agreed to end their war, they buried the hatchet. So to bury the hatchet is to make peace with someone else.
Colin could not excuse his sister for breaking his tennis racket. Finally, his sister said, "Colin, can't we bury the hatchet?"
(1)What does "as the crow flies" mean?
A.In the smoothest way.
B.In a straight line.
C.By plane.
D.At top speed.
(2)"Blow hot and cold " can be used to talk about someone's ______.
A.dishonesty
B.changing attitudes

D.bad manner
(3)It can be inferred that Colin's sister hoped that Colin would ______.
A.buy a new tennis racket
B.stay away from her
C.forgive her mistake
D.make an apology to her
(4)Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A.What Felicia thought was different from what he said.
B.Dan and his mother need drive a quarter of a mile to the beach.
C.“Bury the hatchet” is an idiom from Aesop's Fables.

There is distinction between reading for information and reading for understanding.
The first sense is the one in which we read newspapers, magazines, or anything else. Such materials may increase our store of information, but they cannot improve our understanding. And clearly we don't have any difficulty in gaining the new information, for our understanding was equal to them before we started. Otherwise, we would have felt the shock of puzzlement.
The second sense is the one in which we read something that at first we do not completely understand. Here the thing to be read is at the first sight better or higher than the reader. The writer is communicating something that can increase the reader's understanding. Otherwise one person could never learn from another. Here “learning” means understanding more, not remembering more information.
What are the conditions in this kind of reading? First, there is inequality in understanding Besides, his book must convey something he possesses and his potential readers lack. Second, the reader must be able to overcome this inequality in some degree. And he should always try to reach the same level of understanding with the writer. If the equality is approached, success of communication is achieved.
It is the least demanding and requires the least amount of effort. Everyone who knows how to read can read for entertainment if he wants to. In fact, any book that can be read for understanding or information can probably be read for entertainment as well.
A.Thus, we can employ the word “reading” in two distinct senses.
B.Such communication between unequals must be possible.
C.We can get access to the content of those materials easily.
D.The writer must be “superior” to the reader in understanding.
E. The writer should have a better communicating skill.
F. Besides gaining information and understanding, there's another goal of reading—entertainment.
G. Reading for entertainment is capable of increasing our understanding for information.
