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.
