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.

It was Saturday again. Grace and Karen disliked Saturdays. That was another thing the twins had in common. They shared the same clothes and tied their hair in the same manner. In fact, it was hard for their classmates and teachers to tell them apart sometimes.

Unlike their classmates, they had to get up early at seven every Saturday to prepare for their lessons. Grace had to attend the art lesson and Karen had to attend her ballet lesson. “How I wish I could do something different today,” said the twins with one voice. All at once, an idea came to Grace and Karen at the same time. “How would you like to be me for a day?” they asked each other. It seemed like a wonderful plan to them. After giving each other a description of their own friends, Grace put on Karen’s ballet dress while Karen put Grace’s brushes and paints into her bag. Then they left for their classes.

When the art lesson started, Karen was lost. Unlike Grace, Karen was poor at drawing. When the art lesson finally ended, Karen didn’t dare to hand in her work.

Meanwhile, Grace was struggling in the ballet class as well. As she had no idea about the dance steps, she had to follow her classmates blindly. As a result, she kept knocking into them. Their ballet teacher became impatient with her, “Karen, you should remember the basic steps. You can’t rely on copying what others are doing.”

When Karen and Grace got home, they were tired out. They decided that they would never try to be someone else they were not. It seemed thatthe grass was not always greener on the other side.

1.Did Grace and Karen like Saturdays?

2.When did the twins get up on Saturdays?

3.What was the twins’ plan when they decided to do something different?

4.How did Karen feel at the beginning of the art lesson?

5.Why did the ballet teacher become impatient?

6.What does the underlined part “the grass was not always greener on the other side” at the end of the story try to tell us?
