第二节：完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)

Years ago I gave a speech called “Powerful Phrases for Positive People.” These are very 　36 　　but powerful phrases that we all like to 　37 　: “I’m proud of you.” “I believe 　38 　　you.” “I trust you.” “I love you.” “You can do it.”

　 39 　　Thanksgiving Day approaching, we 　40 　　all be focused(集中)on another one of these powerful phrases, in 　41 　: “I thank you.” We can never 　42 　　out that phrase. It should always be 　43 　the tip of our 44 　if we are truly grateful to others who help us each day and to 　45 　　who has richly blessed us with more wealth and freedom than any other countries in history.

　 Despite all of God’s abundant blessings, we’re often too 　46 　to give thanks and too quick to complain. Maybe we’re so focused on ourselves and 　47 　　with our lives that we forget to give thanks. Or maybe it’s because those of us in America have gotten used to our level of wealth and leisure which is beyond even the imagination of much of the world’s population.

We tend to 　48 　　our blessings for granted, like the story about a homeowner who 　49 　a real-estate agent(房地产代理商) to prepare an ad to 　50 　his home. The homeowner 　51 　the ad in the paper about his home’s many 　52 　　features. He called the real-estate agent to say he no longer wished to sell the house. When 　53 　　what changed his mind, the homeowner said, “After reading your ad, I 　54 　that I already live in the house I have 　55 　　wanted to live in.”

　 In this season of Thanksgiving in particular, it’s time to count our blessings and use that simple phrase, “I thank you.”
