When I got off the train, I felt really good. The next day, I wrote more thank-you notes and the same feeling of happiness hit me again. I suddenly had an idea: Why not keep on doing this for every day of the year? To keep on this task, I decided to pick out a different theme for each month. January was charity. February would be neighbor. And many names came to my mind right away. While writing the notes, I realized I spent too much time on the phone moving from app to app, enjoying other people's lives. Writing thank-you notes gave me the time to do something different, paying more attention to my own life. In the following months, I wrote to my friends, doctors and teachers. In July, my "food" month came, so I wrote to Julie, who used to cook at my favorite restaurant. It went like this: Dear Julie, I find myself missing you lately. Thank you for hosting and cooking delicious food. Jake and I will never forget the cake you made for our wedding. We talk about it every year. Thank you. We miss you. Love, Gina I was happy to receive a note back from her. Julie replied, "I don't think I've ever received such a touching letter before. I'm going through a hard time right now, and this helps me a lot." On December 31st, I wrote my last card —— to Jake, my husband and our two kids. And I took a picture of us, so that I could remember the feeling coming up inside me-gratitude (感恩). 5． The underlined word "this" in Paragraph 2 refers to ____.

But sometimes it is important to wear the right clothes. Many British people don't think about clothes very much. They just like to be comfortable. When they want to enjoy themselves, they can wear almost anything. At theaters, cinemas and concerts you can wear whatever you like. From beautiful suits and dresses to jeans and sweaters. Anything goes as long as (只要) you look clean and tidy. But in Britain and the U. S. A. , men in offices usually wear suits and ties, and women wear dresses or skirts(not trousers). Doctors and business people always wear quite formal clothes. And in some hotels and restaurants men have to wear ties and women have to wear tidy dresses. In many ways, Americans are less formal than British people, but they are more careful with their clothes. At home or on holidays, most Americans wear uniforms or sports clothes. But when they go out in the evening, they like to look nice. But in good hotels and restaurants, men have to wear jackets and ties, and women wear pretty clothes. It's hard to say exactly what people wear in Britain and the U. S. A. , because everyone is different. If you are not sure what to wear, watch first and then do the same. You'll feel more comfortable if you don't look too different from everyone else. 14．People in Britain and the U. S. A. wear informal clothes when they ____.

Some of her friends were helping her with the housework when I arrived in the morning. She asked me to move the broken things out of the room and clear the mud (泥) in the room. With another helper, I got busy cleaning the mud and broken things. There was a desk in front of a door and a tall cactus (仙人掌) was on it.
