March 21, 2014
After visiting the Beijing Normal School, Madame Peng took Sasha and Malia, my mother, and me to the Forbidden City, which is right in the heart of Beijing．
For more than 2,000 years （up until 1912）, China was ruled by emperors who descended （传递）from many different dynasties, or families, who passed ruling positions on from generation to generation — and for nearly 500 years, the Forbidden City used as the emperor’s home．
Like the name suggests, the Forbidden City is large enough to be a city of its own — it includes nearly 1,000 buildings and nearly 10,000 rooms．
In 1925, the new Chinese government turned the Forbidden City into a museum so that visitors like us from all over the world can stroll （闲逛） through many of the beautiful rooms and outdoor spaces．
The Forbidden City is too large to go fully around in a single visit, but highlights include the following: The Hall of Union and Peace has almost 14,000 ornamental dragons．The Hall of Supreme Harmony is where the emperor watched birthday celebrations and coronation （加冕） ceremonies from his Dragon Throne．And then there are the Imperial Gardens, where you can walk along the paths and pavilions, admiring the beautiful rock arrangements, flowers and cypress （柏树） trees．
While we loved our visit to the Forbidden City, we only wish we had more time to see everything．But then again, I’m not sure there could ever be enough time to fully enjoy all of the art and history in this wonderful place．

（The First Lady’s Travel Journal: Touring the Forbidden City）

Once when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus（马戏表演）．____________．This family made a big impression（印象） on me．
There were eight children, all probably under the age of 12． ___________．Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean．The children talked excitedly about the clowns（小丑）．It was clearly a very important day out for them．The fat her and mother seemed happy as they could be．
The tickets lady asked how many tickets the father wanted, he proudly answered, “Please let me buy eight children’s tickets and two adults’ tickets, so I can take my family to the circus．” The ticket lady told him the price．
The man’s wife lowered her head．There was no longer a smile on the man’s face．He quietly asked, “How much did you say?” _________．The man obviously didn’t have enough money．But how could he tell his kids the bad news? Seeing what was happening, my dad took a $20 note from his pocket and dropped in on the ground．（We were not rich ourselves at all!） He then tapped the man on the shoulder and said, “Excuse me, sir, you dropped this．”
____________．He picked up the money, looked straight into my dad’s eyes, and in tears replied．“Thank you．This really means a lot to me and my family．”

When you wake up every day, once again to see this beautiful world, when your parents, teachers and friends give you help, will you know how to be （71）grateful? And when you feel unlucky and make mistakes, will you still be thankful?
Yu Dan, a professor at the Beijing Normal University, made a report about Gratitude Education（感恩教育）．It will affect Chinese people, especially the teenagers．
Nowadays, some teenagers only care about things outside．They often behave badly．For example, they fight each other, use phones in class, be rude to their parents and teachers and so on．Most of them don’t know love, respect and gratefulness．
Being grateful or thankful is very important．（73） It is impossible for anyone to be lucky and successful all the time as long as he lives in the world．We should learn how to face failure or bad luck bravely and to try to deal with it．As we know, “Life is a mirror．When you smile in front of it, it will also smile and so will it when you cry to it．” If you are grateful to life, it will bring you shining sunlight．If you always complain about everything, you may own nothing in the end．
I think the teenagers should be grateful to life even when we are unsuccessful or unlucky．We have many reasons for being grateful．For example, being grateful is a way to communicate with adults．And it is a way to sing for our life which comes just from our love and hope．
If each of us has an attitude of being grateful, we’ll lead a better and more beautiful life．So remember, being grateful forever．

在文中找出 “grateful” 的同义词。
