At many Thanksgiving dinners, everyone around the table shares something they are thankful for. As we know, most can do this easily. It's more important to know how to be thankful people all the time.

Be positive(乐观). No matter what happens, it's best to remember the good things. Find the bright side in bad situations, and push back against negative(负面的) opinions. Also, do your best not to compare yourself to others. But when you're around others, give expression to what you like about them. By keeping good in mind, you'll gibe thanks for it even more than before.

Accept the negative. At the same time, we can't pay no attention to bad things that have happened. We should learn from mistakes. (A)It makes us become strong. Before we know it, we're thankful for negative things, too. Our mistakes can also make us humble(谦逊的), which is not all bad. Humble people have better relationships and see life's blessings(祝福) much more clearly!

Acts of kindness. Thankful people know that it's much better to gibe than to receive. When you're thankful, you feel it's your duty to show love to others. Some people volunteer to help people in need. Studies show that volunteers might feel happier and healthier.

Use of time. By spending time with others, you show them how much they mean to you. But being thankful is also better realized by spending time alone. (B)When you're alone, you can think about the best parts of you day. You can list them out and think them over. You can find your way to make thanksgiving a part of your life. How wonderful it is! Just enjoy it every day!

Robert Frost is an American poet(诗人), who was born in 1874 in San Francisco, but spent most of his years in snowy places like Massachusetts. Most of his poems were about nature and the New England sights. Frost is known for creating simple poems in everyday English. He was big on sounds, often talking about how the sounds of words carry more meaning than the words themselves. His most famous poem is as follows:

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

Whose woods these are I think I know.

His house is in the village though;

He will not see me stopping here

To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer(古怪的)

To stop without a farmhouse near

Between the woods and frozen lake

The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells(佩铃)a shake

To ask if there is some mistake.

The only other sound’s the sweep

Of easy wind and downy flake(雪花).

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,

But I have promises to keep,

And miles to go before I sleep,

And miles to go before I sleep.

This poem was written in 1922, two years before Frost won the first of his four Pulitzer Prizes. The poem tells the story of a man traveling to a town, who is pretty much in love with what he sees, but can’t quite make himself leave the lovely and dark woods.
