o was right! If you say thank you, for even the sallest gift or slightest show of kindness, you’ll feel happy.
Gratitude, says Robert A. Eons, a professor or psychology at the University of California, is an iportant eleent of happiness. In his recent book, Thanks, Eons uses the first ajor study on gratitude to prove o’s point. In acknowledging and developing this uch-ignored expression of thankfulness, he explains how people have benefited---- even iproved their health.
As one of the leading scholars of the positive psychology oveent, he adits gratitude ay be difficult to express. He advises you to begin by aditting that life is good and full of events and eleents that ake daily existence a wonder. Second, recognize that the source of life’s goodness is ore than just you. That source ay be your o, a friend, partner, child, colleague at work or play, or any cobination of these.
Gratitude is always other-directed, notes Eons. You can be pleased or angry with yourself and feel guilty about doing soething wrong, but you can never be grateful to or for yourself.
Expressing gratitude shouldn’t be a reaction; it should be a state of ind. To feel grateful when life is a breeze and you have ore than you need is easy. To feel grateful in tie of crisis---- anger, hatred and bitterness----is easier. Also, too any people are aware of life’s blessings only after these are lost.
It’s crisis and chaos ---- danger, disease, disability and death ---- that bring any individuals to realize just how dependent they are on others. Yet it’s the way each of us begins life and ends it. It’s too bad that so any people waste those decades in between labouring under the illusion they are self-sufficient, says Eons.
The abundance of voices expressing gratitude fro his studies of individuals with chronic health probles is any. But Eons goes beyond his “groundbreaking” science to ake his case for gratitude by including the inspirational writings of philosophers, novelists and saints, as well as the beliefs of various religions and their respective scriptures. Taken together, these observations are sued up quite nicely by faous huanist Albert Schweitzer, who said the secret of life is “giving thanks for everything.”
To enable and ebrace gratitude, Eons encourages the readers of Thanks to keep a gratitude diary. He even provides easy-to-follow directions on how to practice and develop gratitude.
I’ not a reader or advocate of self-help books, but I a thankful for the reference I found in a newspaper article to the research Eons was conducting on gratitude involving organ donors and recipients. The chance discovery led e to this book.
o iplied that kindness sees to find its way back to the giver because life really is all about giving, receiving and repaying. So I’ll pay attention to her professional advice and say: Thank you, professor Eons.
67. What is the text ainly discussed?
A. There are any ways of being thankful. B. Gratitude is iportant to happiness.
C. o is great for her being thankful. D. Being thankful will keep you fit.

A. you live a cofortable life B. you receive gifts on your birthday
C. you get help during your hard ties D. you are congratulated on your success
