I opened it for him easily, and he thanked me. But I felt quite shy when he said thanks to me. A week later, we started to receive military training(军训). We needed to gather at 6:30 a. m. every day. However, I was still in bed at 6:00 on the first day. My roommate woke me up and I really thanked him. Luckily, neither of us was late for that day's training. Later, I had a talk with him. “Perhaps we don't have to say thanks to each other so often because we have become real friends,” I said. He thought over my words and nodded. Over the next three years, we continued to help each other, but we almost never said thank you. For many years, I didn't think it was necessary to say thank you out loud. I also felt embarrassed after I had been thanked for offering someone just a little bit of help. My attitude towards saying thanks didn't change until I helped a group of kids. It was a tiring walk when I was on my way home after a day's class. Some little kids threw the ball onto the tree by accident while playing football. They asked me for help, so I did. Then the kids said “Thank you” one by one with big smiles on their faces when I handed the ball to them. I was surprised, but it really made me feel warm at that moment. I realized the importance of expressing thanks from then on. Showing thanks is a polite way for a conversation. It will let the other side know that you' re thankful for his or her action. So next time, when you feel thankful, express your thanks bravely. 1. How did the writer feel when his roommate thanked him? A. Happy. B. Proud. C. Shy. D. Warm. 2. Why didn’t the writer often say thanks to his roommate? A. Because he never said thanks. B. Because he thought real friends needn't say thanks. C. Because he thought the help was too little to say thanks. D. Because he thought saying thanks made him embarrassed. 3. What changed the writer's attitude towards saying thanks? A. The advice of the teacher. B. The help of his roommate. C. The influence of his parents. D. The thanks from the little kids. 4. In which order is the text written? A. Space. B. Time. C. Persons. D. Opinions. 5. What is the best title for the text? A. Say thank you aloud B. Ask questions actively C. Offer help to others D. Learn to make changes B “Sunrise gold” is a color that means a lot to me. 6. I like it because it gives me peace, energy and hope in the face of difficulty.

There and then I realized that past is history, no matter how much we regret it. I thought to myself, “Maybe I can start once more, just like the dawn(黎明).” 10.
