The next day, I wrote more thank-yous and the same feeling of happiness hit me again. I suddenly had the idea: Why not keep on doing this for every day of the year?     To keep on task, I decided to pick out a different theme for each month. January was charity. February would be neighbors, I decided. And I thought of a number of names right away: the owner of our local bookstore, who let me and my little son in before the store opened and offered to play his favorite songs; our babysitter, who dropped off a bag of old board games for our kids to play, …      While writing the notes, I realized how often I had spent my time on the phone moving from app to app, appreciating (欣赏） other people's lives. Writing thank-you notes allowed me the time to do something different, paying more attention to my own life.     In the following months, I wrote to my friends, doctors, teachers and parenting role models. In July, my"food" month, I wrote to Julie, who used to cook at my favorite restaurant. It went like this: Dear Julie,      I've been finding myself missing you lately. Thank you for hosting and cooking beautiful and thoughtful food. Jake and I will never forget when you sent out biscuits shaped into the number VI for our sixth anniversary (周年纪念日）. 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."      On December 31, I wrote my last card - to Jake, my husband, and our two kids. And I took a picture of us, so I could remember the feeling welling up inside me. Gratitude. ( )1.The underlined word "this" in Paragraph 2 means ______ .

Important People in Our Life When your friends are having a bad day, you may go to them and try your best to make them feel better, right? Believe it or not, elephants can do the same thing. Some scientists studied 26 elephants between the ages of 3 and 60 at the Elephant Nature Park in Thailand. They find that elephants can know when their friends are not happy. They even try to make their friends happy. For example, when some elephants do not feel happy, the others in the family group always try to give them friendly touches. They do it by putting their long, big trunks(象鼻) in each other's mouths. Nearby elephants also make some special noise to calm them down. Sometimes, they just stand close to their friends. Scientists also noticed something else. Elephants have feelings like us. They never leave behind their weak family members. When one elephant is hurt, the stronger elephants in the family group always go to take care of him. The study surprised the scientists. They never expected that elephants cared about each other so much. Whether elephants are sick or sad, their friends never leave them alone. Not many animals can do that. ( )1.How many elephants did the scientists study in Thailand? A. 12 B. 26 C. 60 D. 63 ( )2.If an elephant doesn't feel happy, its friends may help it by ____. standing close to it making special noise giving it friendly touches A. B. C. D.

The “dirty” story all began with the “dirty bun”. A bakery first made the “dirty bun” in 2017.    (1)    We can see much chocolate cream inside the bun and a lot of cocoa (可可粉) outside the bun. Why do people call it the “dirty bun”? First, it is because of its black or brown colour. Second, when you eat the bun, the cocoa can make your hands, even your face or clothes dirty.    (2)    It spread fast in a short time.    (3)   A tea shop in Shanghai got a new idea of making the “dirty milk tea”. It was popular, too. The shop once made over 2,000 cups of the “dirty milk tea” in a day.    (4)    It doesnˈt make you dirty at all. Why do people call it “dirty milk tea”?    (5)    After people drink the milk tea, black sugar always leaves on the cup wall and makes the cup wall dirty. Following the “dirty bun” and the “dirty milk tea”, lots of “dirty foods” appeared later, such as the “dirty pizza”, the “dirty cake” and the “dirty coffee”. What will be the next one in the “dirty family”? A. However, the “dirty milk tea” isnˈt like the “dirty bun”. B. With its success, people started to make some other dirty things. C. The “dirty bun” is a kind of bread with rich chocolate. D. Because some black sugar is in the milk tea. E. The “dirty bun” looks bad, but it tastes good. F. The “dirty milk tea” is the same as the “dirty bun”. G. It is becoming popular in other countries now. 四、选词填空 fish she do class mother of but really different laugh so play Aliceˈs family members are Aliceˈs grandparents, parents and herself.
