Unit 5 Meeting your ancestors
导读：导读：生活中，你对曾经帮助过你的人心怀感恩吗？你愿意表达你的感激还是把它埋在心底？
Task：What advantages can expressing our gratitude bring us？
In our life, we have rarely expressed our gratitude to the one who'd lived those years with us. In fact, we don't have to wait for anniversaries to thank the ones closest to us — the ones so easily overlooked. If I have learned anything about giving thanks, it is this: give it now! While your feeling of appreciation is alive and sincere, act on it. Saying thanks is such an easy way to add to the world's happiness.
Saying thanks
not only brightens someone else's world, but brightens yours. If you're feeling left out, unloved or unappreciated, try reaching out to others. It may be just the medicine you need.
Of course, there are times when you can't express gratitude immediately. In that case don't let embarrassment sink you into silence — speak up the first time you have the chance.
