Simply saying thank you doesn't seem enough in certain situations.I was considering this while working as a 21 Just a few weeks ago.And it came to me then how
much easier it would be if we had a range of words that express different 22 of gratitude (感谢).
My thoughts were soon 23 .We had a woman patient who was 24 from a knee replacement operation. One afternoon,while 25 to get into bed she collapsed(倒下) from what was 26 discovered to be a heart attack.The collapse was disastrous, 27 the emergency medical team and good teamwork. But she recovered,though 28 ,and was ready for discharge (出院)after four weeks.
She was 29 for everything that the medical and nursing team had done for her.On her day of discharge,we shared in her 30 at her recovery.As she was
31 she was eager to say 32 to each of us in the nursing team.When she 33 one nurse, she tried to press a five-pound note into her hand. My colleague 34 to accept it, saying that we were all just 35 our job. The patient looked puzzled, and then 36 : "Oh this isn't for the 37_ I had. Itake that as a 38_ .No,this is for setting my hair yesterday.''
And there you have it. To many people, 39 lives is part of the job but styling hair is an 40_ and should be rewarded.

Whohasdeprivedthechildren'shappinessoflearning???
Children are born with a natural desire of learning. They are curios and concerned about 36around them. They are 37to learn anything that amazes them. They have so many 38 that they keep on asking. They can bore the 39all day long with many 40questions which they will never feel bored with. Why? This is because learning is their 41, perhaps an instinct of human beings. They just can't help. But 42, they feel bored with learning, especially when learning becomes a boring 43for them, especially after school has become a 44of their life, especially when they have to 45teachers who tell them again and again to 46 to recite and memorize things they don't want to learn, and especially47 they realize school is not what they once 48to be but something that, according to their parents, they must rely on in order to 49a good fame or a good job or a good future. That is to say, learning has become a 50, which they are forced or 51 to face. So it is the teachers and parents who have thrown the heavy 52on the children. And meanwhile, the competitive society is also to blame. The children have been 53 of their pleasure and happiness that they could have enjoyed from the natural learning.
Therefore, my 54to the students’ learning is that they 55 enjoy learning, enjoy the pleasure that they could feel from learning itself. Find back the long lost desire and curiosity of learning in their childhood.
