Question

    There is an old Chinese saying, 4. "If someone gives you a little drop of water, you should return a spring of water." That means if someone helps you a bit, you should thank him a lot.

We thank our parents. They work hard all the time in order to give us a better life. They give us food and clothes, and they teach us what is right and what is wrong. We are taken after well by them.

We thank our teachers who give us dreams. 5. 对于老师来说，教育我们是不易的。They teach us a lot of things, but they ask for nothing from us. We are well-educated by them.

Meanwhile (同时), We even thank people who hurt us, because they teach us important things. We thank people who give us up, because we learn how to be independent. We thank people who are selfish (自私的), because we learn the importance of being kind.

3.In order to thank my parents, I will help them cook breakfast and do housework.

4.滴水之恩，当涌泉相报。

5.It is not easy for teachers to teach us.

【解析】

文章通过一句谚语“滴水之恩，当涌泉相报”来告诉我们要懂得感恩，懂得感谢生活中遇到的每一个人。

1.

根据文中We thank people who give us up, because we learn how to be independent.可知，我们感谢那些放弃我们的人，因为我们学会了如何独立。故答案为：Because we learn how to be independent.

2.

根据文中We should express our thanks with actions, not just words.可知，我们应该用行动来表达我们的感谢，而不仅仅是语言。故答案为No, we can’t.

3.

为了表达对父母的感谢，我们可以在平时有空时帮助父母做做家务，或者在周末帮父母准备早餐，故答案为：In order to thank my parents, I will help them cook breakfast and do housework.

4.

If如果，条件状语从句的连词；someone有人，不定代词；gives给，动词三单；you你，人称代词；a little drop of water一小滴水；you你，人称代词；should应该，情态动词；return返回，以……相报；a spring of water一泉水；整理之后可以看出，这里表达的是“当有人给你一滴水，你应该以一泉水去回报”，故答案为：滴水之恩，当涌泉相报。

5.

对于……来说for，介词；老师teacher，可数名词，在句中可以用冠词来修饰或者用复数形式；教育teach，动词；我们we/ us；是is，不易的not easy；整理之后可知看出，这里符合“对于某人来说做某事是怎么样的”，英语结构是It is adj+for/ of sb to do sth.，句中的形容词是easy，是形容物的，所以应该用介词for，故答案为：It is not easy for teachers to teach us.
