Yet, why do we have such difficulty accomplishing these things in our relationships?Let me start with the idea of giving generously. I think people are reluctant to be generous with others because they fear being used. For example, my husband and I have family members who only contact us when they need money. We usually accept their requests (要求), but we rarely receive a thank you. Most people would say that my husband and I are being used, and I suppose we are. But when we give, we shouldnt be giving for the purpose of getting gratitude or praise.Rather, we should be giving because its the good thing to do. A thank you is merely the icing on the cake. Everything that we have, from our ability to wake up each morning to the money in our bank account, is a gift from the world. In return, the world asks us to use these gifts to help others, either by giving them our time or our resources. The good news is that when we live our lives being nice to others, our lives run more smoothly. If youre generous, yes, some people will use you. But if you practice being generous, most of your relationships will improve. And at the same time, we should remember to receive gratefully. I truly believe that you cannot say thank you enough. So often we get lazy about expressing gratitude. Parents can feel unappreciated by their children, and teachers can feel unappreciated by their students.Just because a task is part of someones job description doesnt mean that you shouldnt thank them for it. Words of appreciation make others feel good about themselves like nothing else.Its good for us to say thank you because we regularly need to remind ourselves of how lucky we are. And hearing those two words can make us feel great for days. If you are looking for a secret solution to improve your life, I can give you one: Give generously and receive gratefully.（1）The author mentions her family members mainly to explain _. A . why we should give even if we feel we are being usedB . why people have trouble expressing gratitudeC . why we should accept whatever others requestD . why its necessary to express gratitude or praise（2）The phrase the icing on the cake probably means _. A . something that is necessaryB . something that is not of much helpC . something that leads to an unexpected resultD . something that makes an experience better（3）According to the author, why should we be grateful to those who help us? A . Because it makes us feel lucky.B . Because words of gratitude delight people.C . Because its not other peoples duty to help us.D . Because all we normally get are gifts from the world.（4）The author wrote this article mainly to _. A . stress the importance of being generousB . persuade people to give generously and receive thankfullyC . show how to express our gratitude to othersD . give tips on how to improve other peoples lives18. （8分）阅读理解 Mr. and Mrs. Smith live in a quiet village.

In 1752，Benjamin Franklin tied a key to a kite and flew it in a storm to find out that lightening was a form of electricity. In the 1890s，Lawrence Hargrave invented the box kite to test ideas about flight. From 1898 until 1933，the United States Weather Bureau (气象局） used box kites to collect weather data.

The bird then drops some stones into it and gets the water.Its just a story, you may think. But new research has found that crows brains may sometimes be better than those of 6yearold children.In a recent experiment, American scientist Corina Logan and her team caught six crows to test them. The crows and children had to choose between two sets of tubes(试管).

The blue set of tubes, however, had no connection between them.Children aged 7 to 10 were able to learn the rule. Children aged 4 to 6, however, failed. Five of the six crows failed the test.
