Expressing gratitude regularly is a wonderful habit to your children. In fact, studies have shown that people who feel gratitude on a daily basis are happier in general. Today we'll discuss ideas to help your children express their gratitude.
Make a gratitude tree. Start with a large piece of craft paper and draw a tree trunk. Then ask the kids to paint or color it in brown. Each day ask your kids to think of something they're thankful for.And they'll have a gratitude tree full of leaves one day.
Express your thankfulness to the ones you love.Print the photos in a 5'×7'size and ask the kids to write a short note on the back explaining why they're grateful to that person. Family members, especially those who don't live nearby, will cherish the present.
Pick a regular time, maybe one Saturday a month, and do some voluntary jobs as a family.One child may want to spend a day helping to clean up their favorite park while another might want to read books to nursing home residents.
Go grocery shopping for a family in need. Many stores now offer pre-made bags to donate right at the checkout line. While this is convenient, the larger the role they play in the act of giving, the bigger the effect it will have on your kids.
Taking time as a family to practice gratitude doesn't have to be difficult or time-consuming and the benefits your children will get are long-lasting.
A. It will make the experience much more powerful.
B. Let kids take pictures of themselves with their loved ones.
C. Keep gratitude journals.

【解析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了在感恩节,老师要求孩子们画出他们想要感谢的东西。结果道格拉斯画了一只手,以此来表示对老师关心的感谢。告诉我们不同的人可能用不同的方式表示他们的感恩之心。
(1)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空前“Each day ask your kids to think of something they're thankful for.”每天都要让你的孩子去想一些他们感激的事情。再根据空后“And they'll have a gratitude tree full of leaves one day.”那么总有一天会有一棵感恩树。可知F,Write it on a green leaf and tape it to the tree trunk. “把它写在绿叶上,然后把它带到树干上。”符合题意。故选F。
(2)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空后“Print the photos in a 5'×7'size and ask the kids to write a short note on the back explaining why they're grateful to that person”把照片洗成5'×7'大小,要求孩子们在照片背面写上为什么感激这个人。可知上句的意思应该是:让孩子们和最钟爱的感激便条在一起拍照。故选B。
(3)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。此空是段落首句,相当于一个小标题。根据下文:挑选一个固定的时间,作为一个家庭做一些志愿工作。可知D. Volunteer together.符合题意。
(4)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空前“Pick a regular time, maybe one Saturday a month, and do some voluntary jobs as a family.”全家人去做志愿工作;再根据空后“One child may want to spend a day helping to clean up their favorite park while another might want to read books to nursing home residents.”一个孩子可能会花一天的时间帮助清理他们最喜欢的公园而另一个可能是想给疗养院居民读书。由此可知此处的意思是:让家人轮流挑选一件对自己有意义的活动。故选G。
(5)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空前“While this is convenient, the larger the role they play in the act of giving, the bigger the effect it will have on your kids.”尽管这个活动是方便的,他们在给予行为中扮演的角色越大,它对你孩子的影响越大。由此可知下文的意思是:如果你能找到一家能够邮递食品的慈善机构,那会更好。故选E。
