完形填空

You had better learn to be grateful． If you are grateful， you naturally . yourself up to receive all kinds of blessings and good things in life． You can receive almost everything you want ．If you want recovery soon， start by feeling grateful that you are still ．If it is more money that you want，start being grateful for whatever of money you already have．

You see，showing gratitude(感恩) is the key to every thing in life．It is the key to successful relationships，it is the key to successful futures and it is the key to healthier and happier lives．And this is where the importance of being grateful lies． ，it makes life better．

One of my favorite is “If you learn to appreciate more of what you already have，you will find yourself having more to appreciate．” Think about that！

Something as as a “Thank you for being in my life” or “I having you here with me”，can go a long way． It will make the other person feel good， and it also will make you feel better！

So maybe your wife is not very around the house， but she’s great at cooking your favorite ．Or， maybe your child milk all over your new shirt right before you walked out the door for work， but usually he makes you laugh so much and makes you the luckiest parent in the world．

I strongly you to make a promise to yourself for the next week． Decide to .every morning and think of at least 5 things that you are .for． Then say them out loud． You will notice a smile on your face without even . ．In 30 days you will feel completely renewed． This is the .of being grateful！

It is not easy to find true friends．Even if you’ve connected with someone，how do you really know he is a true friend？And often you will find that someone who you thought you could trust may have let you down．There are ways you can know if a friendship is true and how you can hold onto that friend．

Generally speaking，a true friend is someone who will be there for you no matter what happens．They will stand by you through bad and good times．They will accept you for who you are without trying to change you，and they will be there to help you grow in new ways．

A true friend will keep you secrets for you trust him．They will be honest and be someone you can depend on．They will listen and be someone you can talk things over with，even if they may not have advice to share with you．

However，friendship is a two-way street．To find true friends and keep them，you must in turn be the same as well．Be there for them in their hard times and share the good times with them．Be someone your friends can depend on as well and offer them the same thing they give to you．A friendship will fall apart fast if only one person is giving and putting all the effort．If you are the only one making an effort，be honest and it works．

Actually，there will be barriers in the road but that is the test of true friendship．If it can survive those barriers，it will be stronger and better than ever．Just as St Thomas Aquinas put it，“There is nothing on this earth more prized than friendship．”
