One day, when I finished raising money for a charity(慈善机构) and was on the train back home, I put down my phone and started writing thank-you notes to people who helped me.
When I got off the train, I felt really good. The next day, I wrote more thank-you notes and the same feeling of happiness hit me again. I suddenly had an idea: Why not keep on doing this for every day of the year
To keep on this task, I decided to pick out a different theme for each month. January was charity. February would be neighbor. And many names came to my mind right away.
While writing the notes, I realized I spent too much time on the phone moving from app to app, enjoying other people's lives. Writing thank-you notes gave me the time to do something different, paying more attention to my own life.
In the following months, I wrote to my friends, doctors and teachers. In July, my "food" month came, so I wrote to Julie, who used to cook at my favorite restaurant. It went like this:
Dear Julie,
I find myself missing you lately. Thank you for hosting and cooking delicious food. Jake and I will never forget the cake you made for our wedding. We talk about it every year.
Thank you. We miss you.
Love,
Gina
I was happy to receive a note back from her. Julie replied, "I don't think I've ever received such a touching letter before. I'm going through a hard time right now, and this helps me a lot."
On December 31st, I wrote my last card —— to Jake, my husband and our two kids. And I took a picture of us, so that I could remember the feeling coming up inside me-gratitude (感恩).
5． The underlined word "this" in Paragraph 2 refers to ____.
A．writing thank-you notes B．taking the train back home
C．putting the phone away D．raising money for charities
6．What did Gina get by doing her task according to the passage
A．Many thanks from her neighbors.
B．More time to enjoy her own life.
C．More help from people around her.
D．Happy moments with friends.
7． How did Julie most probably feel after reading the note from Gina
A．Shy and surprised. B．Surprised and relaxed.
C．Worried and excited. D．Moved and encouraged.
8．The theme of the December notes might be ____.
A．charity B．neighbor C．family D．food
