The shop owner told her that people used to put thank-you notes in the jar. It helped them remember the good things in their lives. Emily liked the idea and decided to have her own Jar of Thanks. Every evening, she would sit down with her jar, think about the good things of the day, and write down a thank-you note. As the days turned into weeks and the weeks into months, Emily’s jar was full of those thank-you notes. She was surprised at how her life had changed. From the warmth of the morning sun to the laughter of children playing in the park, Emily found joy in simple things. One day, Emily faced a problem. She was going to lose her job. She was worried. Then she sat down with her jar and wondered if she could get comfort (慰藉) from the notes in such a tough time. As she read through the notes, something special happened. Emily found there were so many people loving her and that she was strong enough to face up to the difficulty. Later, Emily shared her Jar of Thanks with others.

But don’t worry. Here is some advice to help you. ____28____ When someone asks for help, tell them you need some time to think about it.

You can try saying no to smaller requests and giving your opinion about something small. ____30____ Keep doing good things, but in your own way. A. Take time to think. B. Who do you want to help? C.

In our everyday life, I often do some housework, such as sweeping the floor or tidying the room. Last Sunday, when my parents went out shopping to buy food for lunch, I began to clean my house. First, I swept the floor and wiped the table. Then, I collected all the books and other things and put them in place. Finally, I took all the rubbish out. When my parents came back, they were surprised and praised me. I felt so happy at that time. I have learned that sharing the housework with our parents means showing love to them. It can help to develop our independence and teach us how to look after ourselves. It can also help us to understand the idea of fairness. So I suggest all of us should take action from now on. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
