One kind of letter most people enjoy writing is the letter of thanks or appreciation. It's pleasant to say "thank you" to someone who has been generous or thoughtful.

Every gift, however trifling, should be acknowledged(表示感謝)with a note of thanks. Every favor or courtesy(禮貌)- every kindness or attention on the part of a neighbor or friend - every expression of hospitality- certainly every letter of condolence(吊唁)or congratulation - deserves sincere and gracious(有禮貌的)acknowledgement.

It doesn't matter if you have already expressed your appreciation in person; a letter must still be written. It can be as brief and simple as you like, but it should express your appreciation with sincerity and warmth. Remember that half the joy of giving is the anticipation(預(yù)料)of receiving pleased acknowledgement, and surely the person who has been thoughtful or generous toward you deserves that satisfaction!

The underlined word "trifling" probably means "________".

A. of little value    B. important     C. valuable       D. precious

Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. We need not write a letter of thanks if we have already said "thank you" personally.

B. Usually no replies are written to letters of condolence.

C. Our letters of thanks may be short, but we should be sincere.

D. We should not, however, expect letters of thanks for what we give.
