山西省大同市2017-2018学年高一下学期英语四月月考试卷
It was a busy day as usual. I was making sandwiches and balancing the phone between my shoulder and chin. The washing machine sounded as my husband walked in with our daughters. We had only about twenty minutes to eat 1we had to take the girls to their next activity. My husband seemed a bit2that dinner was not on the table.
That night, I had a heavy3 thinking we were becoming slaves(奴隶) of the tasks we did everyday. We had become too4in our own tasks and seldom cared about those around us. We needed to do something to5some meaning into our lives.
I bought a notebook, named it “Our Deed Diary” and held a family meeting. I told my family I wanted us all to think about doing a6 for others every day. It could be for each other or for people outside our family. And we all needed to 7the deed in the notebook.
I thought one deed a day was too easy8 it was actually harder than it seemed because it had to be something 9 what we had already done. Sending birthday cards to people we already sent cards to every year would not 10.
We had a rough 11.On some days, someone would not 12 to do a good deed, while on other days, we would forget to write our good deeds in the diary. After a few weeks, I found myself waking up in the morning trying to13 what good deed I could do for someone that day. My daughters began to rush to me after school to 14 me the good deed they had done.
Now, after a year, I am happy to say that it is making a(n)15in our lives. Instead of always16 what the day will bring for us, we think about what we can do for someone else。
Who can imagine doing a simple kindness a day would be so 17? I feel my daughters have felt inner joy that you can only18 by giving to someone else from your heart. The best thing is that you feel so great about doing something for someone else; you don't even look for or expect anything in 19. So when someone does return the favor, it is an enormous and positive 20.
