Question

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 (回應的), more 　 49　 and more caring?

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