But Douglas made a(an) 3 kind of picture. Douglas was a different kind of boy. He was the teacher's true child of weak and unhappy. As other children played at 4, Douglas used to stand close by her side. One could only guess at the pain that Douglas felt behind those sad 5.
Yes, his picture was different. When he was asked to draw a picture of something for which he was thankful, he drew a 6. Nothing else. Just an empty hand.
His abstract (抽象的) picture caught the 7 of his cl assmates. Whose hand could it be? One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer, because farmers 8 turkeys. Another suggested a police officer, because the police protect and 9 people. Still others guessed it was the hand of God, for God feeds us. And so the discussion went on — until the teacher almost forgot the young artist 10.
When the children had gone on to other assignments, she stopped at Douglas' desk, bent down, and 11 him whose hand it was. The little boy looked away and murmured, " It's yours, teacher."
She recalled the 12 when she had taken his hand and walked with him here or there, as she had the other students. How 13 she had said, "Take my hand, Douglas, we'll go outside." Or, "Let me show you how to hold your pencil." Or, "Let's do this together." Douglas was very 14 for his teacher's hand. Brushing aside a tear, she went on with her work.
The story speaks of more than thankfulness. It says something about teachers teaching and parents parenting and friends showing friendship, and how much it means to the Douglases of the world. They might not always say thanks, but they'll remember the hand that 15 out.

【题目】阅读短文,并按要求完成下列小题。
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. 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 muh 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. When you're alone, you can think about the best parts of you day. You can list them out and think th em over. You can find your way to make thanksgiing a part of you life. How wonderful it is! Just enjoy it every day!
(1)You need to find in bad situations.
(2)Learning from mistakes can make us and humble.
(3)How do volunteers probably feel according to studies?
