Mom was right！If you say thank you，for even the smallest gift or slightest show of kindness，you’ll feel happy.
Gratitude(感謝)，says Robert A．Emmons，a professor of psychology at the University of California，is an important element of happiness.In his recent book，Thanks！，Emmons uses the first major study on gratitude to prove mom’s point.In acknowledging and developing this much?ignored expression of thankfulness，he explains how people have benefited—even improved their health.
As one of the leading scholars of the positive psychology movement，he admits gratitude may be difficult to express.He advises you to begin by admitting that life is good and full of events and elements that make daily existence a wonder.Second，recognize that the source of life’s goodness is more than just you.That source may be your mom，a friend，partner，child，colleague at work or play，or any combination of these.
Gratitude is always other?directed，notes Emmons.You can be pleased or angry with yourself and feel guilty about doing something wrong，but you can never be grateful to or for yourself.
Expressing gratitude shouldn’t be a reaction；it should be a state of mind.To feel grateful when life is a breeze and you have more than you need is easy.To feel grateful in time of crisis—anger，hatred and bitterness—is easier.Also，too many people are aware of life’s blessings only after these are lost.The voices expressing gratitude from his studies of individuals are many.
It’s crisis and chaos—danger，disease，disability and death—that bring many individuals to realize just how dependent they are on others.Yet it’s the way each of us begins life and ends it.It’s too bad that so many people waste those decades in between labouring under the illusion(幻覺) they are self?sufficient，says Emmons.
To enable and embrace gratitude，Emmons encourages the readers of Thanks! to keep a gratitude diary.He even provides easy?to?follow directions on how to practise and develop gratitude.
I’m not a reader or advocate of self?help books，but I am thankful for the reference I found in a newspaper article to the research Emmons was conducting on gratitude involving organ donors and recipients(接受者)．The chance discovery led me to this book.
Mom implied that kindness seems to find its way back to the giver because life really is all about giving，receiving and repaying.So I’ll pay attention to her professional advice and say：Thank you，professor Emmons.

A little stream flowed down from a high mountain far, far away through many villages and forests, until it reached a desert. The stream then thought, “I’ve been through countless obstacles. I should have no problem crossing this desert!” But when she decided to start her journey, she found herself gradually disappearing into the mud and sand. After numerous tries, she found it was all in vain and was very upset. “Maybe it’s my destiny(命運) ! I’m not destined to reach the vast ocean in the legend, ” she murmured sadly to herself.
At this time, a deep voice came, saying, “If a breeze can cross the desert, so can a river.”
It was the voice of the desert. Unconvinced, the little stream replied, “That’s because a breeze can fly, but I can’t.”
“That’s because you stick to what you are. If you’re willing to give it up, and let yourself evaporate （蒸發(fā)） into the breeze, it can take you across, and you can reach your destination,” said the desert in its deep voice.
The little stream had never heard of such a thing. “Give up what I am now and disappear into the breeze? No! No!” She could not accept this idea. After all, she had never experienced anything like it before. Wouldn’t it be self-destruction to give up what she was now?
“How do I know if this is true?” asked the little stream.
“The breeze can carry the vapor across the desert and release it as rain at an appropriate site. The rain will form a river again to continue its course,” answered the desert very patiently.
“Will I still be what I am now?” asked the little stream.
“Yes, and no. Whether you’re a river or invisible vapor, your inner nature never changes. You stick to the fact that you’re a river because you don’t know your inner nature,” answered the desert.
Deep down, the stream vaguely remembered that before she became a river, it was perhaps also the breeze that carried her halfway up a high mountain, where she turned into rain and fell onto the ground and became what she was now. Finally the little stream gathered her courage and rushed into the open arms of the breeze, which carried her to the next stage of her life.
Perhaps you can try asking yourself these questions: What is my inner nature? What is it that I cling （緊抓） to? And what is it that I really want?
1.When reaching the desert at first, the little stream was ________ to cross it.
A．upset B．confident C．pessimistic D．hesitant
2.The desert suggests that the stream ________ in order to cross the desert.
A．change its form B．disappear into the desert
C．stick to what it is D．turn to another stream for help
3.Finally the stream successfully crossed the desert with the help of ________.
A．the rain B．the desert C．the breeze D．the mountain
4.In the text the writer compares the stream to ________.
A．the Truth B．the courage C．the course of life D．the obstacles in life

Have you dreamed of traveling to cool places, meeting
different people, and maybe picking up a language or two? No matter which
country you live in, you can fly over the world’s highest waterfalls in
Venezuela, study in France or take dancing lessons in Ghana. Besides the
excitement of traveling, there is another reason to study abroad.
"Obviously, I learned the language and am now fluent, but perhaps what’s
more important was how much I learned about cultures, people, and myself."
said Andrew, who studied in France.
Christina studied in Caracas, Venezuela, a city of 10
million people and a huge change from her hometown of 35,000! Christina said
she learned how to better speak for herself and her beliefs and to express
herself in another language. What could make you more confident than that?
Living away from home can also help you become adapted
to the transition (過渡) to college and adulthood. Matthew said that he returned from
studying in Australia with confidence, and a real interest in international
affairs. "After having gone abroad in high school, I found the
transition to college was a breeze — moving 560 miles from home didn’t seem
difficult at all after having lived thousands of miles away. "
Speaking of college, improving your language skills
might help you get into ideal colleges and even land future jobs. Colleges and
employers know that studying abroad provides leadership skills in a world that
needs much communication. Most of all, it’s fun! You won’t suffer from the
general boredom (單調(diào)) while you’re studying in a different learning environment.

do we know about Andrew?

people to ________.

was a breeze", the author means it is _______ to adapt to college life.
A．interesting B．difficult C．easy D．disappointing

get by studying abroad is to _______.
A．enjoy the excitement of traveling B．pick up a new language C．enter the university you dreamed of D．make your life full of pleasure
