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.
There are a lot of people that we should thank in our life. We should express our thanks with actions, not just words. Then what action will you take to thank them?

1.Why should we thank people who give us up?

Some people say life is like crossing a river; 1.
I think our life is much like climbing a mountain. Each year we have a new mountain to climb. To reach our goals, we work hard to make progress day after day. 2. We can complain (抱怨) about how unfair it is to climb a new mountain every day. Or, we can just make ourselves busy.
Sometimes, we fall over. Here we also have another choice. 3. Or, we can stand on our feet and begin climbing that mountain again.
If we reach the goal for this year, we start from zero to reach the goal for next year. We shouldn't spend the rest of our lives looking at where we used to be. 4.
Many people will waste time worrying, "Can I reach my final goal?" or "Is it worth doing"? 5. The question is, "Can I take the next step in the right direction?"
Take one step at a time, and pay attention to tomorrow's step today.
A.Here we have a choice.
B.That is not the question.
C.Instead, we should look ahead.
D.These questions are really important.
E.Some say it is like climbing a mountain.
F.We can stop and complain about what progress we have lost.
