Every summer , a great many students travel to other countries looking for work and adventure Most of the 　1　 are in seasonal work mainly connected with tourism and 　 2　 . The pay is usually poor but most people work abroad for the 　 3　 of travel . You can pick grapes in France , entertain kids on American summer camps , and , of course , there are 　4　 jobs in hotels and restaurants .

But it is not easy now to find work . “　 5 you speak the language of the country well , there will be very few openings ,” says Anthea Ellis , an adviser on 　 6　 for students . “If you work with a family in Italy , you’ll have to speak Italian . When you wash dishes in a restaurant in Paris , the owner will expect you to speak 　 7　 . British students only have a language 　 8 for jobs in the USA and Australia . ”

9　 　enjoys the experience . Sarah James was employed to help forty American children in Europe . The two teachers and the children had never been 　 10　 . One child lost his passport ; another became seriously ill and was 　 11　 home ; the whole group was thrown out of one hotel because of the 　 12　 they made , and Sarah herself was robbed on her only 　13　 evening of the entire trip . “I did visit a lot of new places ,” she says , “but it wasn’t worth it . The pay was 　14　 and it really was a 24-hour-a-day job . The kids never slept !”

“The trouble is , students expect to have a（n） 　 15　 time of it , ” Anthea Ellis points out . “ 16　 , they see it as a holiday . In practice , 　17　 , you have to work hard . At the same time , all vacational work is casual work . You’ll have a job when the hotel , the restaurant , or the campsite is busy . 　 18　 you’ll work if it’s convenient for the company that employs you . But you have 　19 employment rights . As soon as the holiday season 　 20　 , they’ll get rid of you ”.

In our life, we have rarely expressed our gratitude to those who have lived with us these years. In fact, we do not have to 　 31　 a special time to thank the ones 　 32　 to us. If you have 　 33　 anything about giving thanks, it should be this: 　 34　 it now! Saying thanks is such a(n) 　 35　 way to add happiness to the 　 36　 .

Saying thanks not only brightens someone else’s world, but also brightens yours. If you are feeling 　 37　 or unloved, try reaching out to others. It may be just the medicine that you 　 38　 .

Of course, sometimes you cannot express gratitude 　 39　 . In that case, do not fall into 　 40 — speak up the first time you have a 　 41　 .

Once a young man, whose name was Mark Brian, was sent to a 　 42　 of India. The villagers, he had been told before, did not have a 　 43　 for “thank you”. But on arriving there, Mark Brian found that those villagers expressed their 　 44　 in other ways. Instead of saying thanks, it is their custom to 　45　 every favor with a favor of their own, and every kindness with the 　 46　 or more kindness. They did express their thanks.

I 　 47　 if we had no words in our 　 48　 for thank you”, would we do a better job of communicating our gratitude? And would we be more responsive (回应的), more 　 49　 and more caring?

Thankfulness can be transferred (传递) among people all around us—including ourselves, 　 50　 no one ever misunderstands a thankful heart.
