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 shouldn t be giving for the purpose of getting gratitude or praise Rather we should be giving because it s 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 you re 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 someone s job description doesn t mean that you shouldn t thank them for it Words of appreciation make others feel good about themselves like nothing else It s 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 第 2 页 共 11 页 A why we should give even if we feel we are being used B why people have trouble expressing gratitude C why we should accept whatever others request D why it s necessary to express gratitude or praise 2 The phrase the icing on the cake probably means A something that is necessary B something that is not of much help C something that leads to an unexpected result D 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 it s not other people s 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 generous B persuade people to give generously and receive thankfully C show how to express our gratitude to others D give tips on how to improve other people s lives 2 6 分 阅读理解 In order to tell you what I believe I must bring up something from my personal history The turning point of my life was my decision to give up my business job and study music My 第 3 页 共 11 页 parents although sharing my love of music didn t think it was a good choice that I took up music as a job Considering my family background this was understandable My grandfather
