  在生活中,有很多类型的卡片,如新年贺卡、明信片、感谢留言卡片等,它们传递着人与人之间的情谊和祝福,是维系感情的纽带。小安妮在最困难的时候收到同学寄来的一张卡片,获得了很大的支持和鼓励。那么小安妮又是怎样感恩的呢?请阅读此文分享感恩带来的快乐。
  My name is Anne. When I was 9 years old, I received my first handmade card. It was from one of my classmates. He had just moved to New Jersey from South Korea. He had a hard time adjusting(适应)to his new school, and I helped him. He wanted to show his appreciation(欣赏,感激) but didn’t know how to express himself. So he made me a card. It was a folded (折叠的)piece of paper from his notebook, with a picture he’d drawn on the front. There were only a few sentences inside but those words meant a lot to me at the time.
  Since then, I have known how special handmade cards can be. They take time and effort to make and feel very personal. Like photographs can be stored and looked back on. I think you can make your own unique(獨一无二的)card with supplies you have at home. Or you can buy a card from a store. The most important thing of a card is the message you write inside.
  Do you know how to write the message in a handmade card? The following steps can give you some help.
  The first step is to think of a person for whom you’d like to make a card. Will you give it to a friend or a family member? Or is it for someone you don’t know that well but who might need a little encouragement?
  Next, think about what kind of card you’d like to make. There are many types: Thank-you cards, congratulations cards, holiday cards, and I’m-sorry cards.
  Now it’s time to gather your thoughts. For me, this is the hardest but most rewarding part. A big tip for writing a card is to keep the person you’re making it for in mind while you work. You can ask yourself some questions while writing: What are your favorite memories of that person? What do you appreciate most about him or her? Your words can be as sweet or as funny as you want. If they’re personal, the message will be special.
  Last, sign your name at the bottom. Don’t forget to include the date, in case the recipient keeps the card to reread sometime far in the future.
  It can be hard to put your feelings into words. But getting a handmade card or letter can make someone who needs it feel appreciated.

编者的话:在中国的许多家庭中,父母习惯于将对孩子的爱化作无微不至的照顾,很少说“我爱你”;同样,在缺乏把爱说出来的环境下长大的孩子,通常会把对父母的感恩之情深藏于心底,羞于表达。其实,语言有着巨大的魅力,如果你爱你的父母,请勇敢地对他们说出“我爱你”,或许这样能够更好地化解和父母之间的矛盾,让亲子关系更加融洽。  成长故事  期中考试过后,学校召开了家长会。  在学校的大礼堂里,很多同学在不断地张

动点几何问题是中考的热点题型,解决此类问题的基本策略是:动中取静——在运动变化中探索问题中的不变性(这里的“静”就是问题中的不变量、不变关系);动静互化——抓住“静”的瞬间,将一般情形转化为特殊问题,从而找到“动”与“静”的关系;以动制动——建立图形中的数量关系,进而解决问题.下面以特殊四边形动点问题为例进行介绍.  例1(2020·江苏·扬州)如图1,在矩形ABCD中,AB = 4 cm,BC

在学习分子热运动时,需要注意以下三点:1.物体内的分子在不停地做无规则运动,温度越高,无规则运动越剧烈;2.分子的无规则运动是自发的,不能与受外力改变运动状态的情况混为一谈;3.扩散现象可以发生在气体、液体和固体间,气体间最快,液体间其次,固体间最慢。其考点主要有以下三类。  一、解释生活现象  例1(2021·四川·攀枝花)端午节到了,家人团聚食用咸鸭蛋。咸鸭蛋的制作方法之一:在洗净的鸭蛋表面涂
