"Save the whales!"That's what the picture on Jake Smith's bedroom wall said．Jake liked having a picture that said something important：that showed he cared．He just never expected to get a chance to save a real whale，one right in his own neighbourhood．
It was a Saturday morning when the newspaper first reported the whales'coming．A group of the animals were swimming close to the beach in Jake's hometown．All the local people rushed out to the beach to see them．They were expecting a beautiful show，better than a movie，but nothing they'd have to do anything about．
Then one whale swam in the direction，directly towards land．It came in with the waves，and when the waves receded．Its huge body rested on the sand．Suddenly，Jake and his family and all the others were no longer sightseers．They had to become rescuers．A few people ran towards the animal．They pushed and tried to force the whale back into the water，but it was no use．
An animal rescue service team soon arrived in a truck with heavy lifting machinery，to help move the animal．Jake and his family couldn't do much on the beach，so they went back to their house and made sandwiches and hot tea for the rescuers．At least，Jake thought，they could help in some way．
Back at the beach，they offered the food to the rescuers and were happy to see that it was needed．It was getting dark．Some people lined up their cars along the beach and shined the headlights on the sand．The rescuers would not give up．After trying many times they were finally able to lift the whale into the water．Everyone cheered when it headed out to sea．It swam out about a mile and then disappeared for a moment under the sea．Then，in what looked like a jump of joy，it rose high above the water﹣a thank﹣you to those who had worked so hard to save his life．

At many Thanksgiving dinners， everyone around the table shares something they are thankful for． As we know， most can do this easily． It's more important to know how to be thankful people all the time．
Be positive（乐观）． No matter what happens， it's best to remember the good things． Find the bright side in bad situations， and push back against negative（负面的） opinions． Also， do your best not to compare yourself to others． But when you're around others， give expression to what you like about them． By keeping good in mind， you'll gibe thanks for it even more than before．
Accept the negative． At the same time， we can't pay no attention to bad things that have happened． We should learn from mistakes． It makes us become strong． Before we know it， we're thankful for negative things， too． Our mistakes can also make us humble（谦逊的）， which is not all bad． Humble people have better relationships and see life's blessings（祝福） much more clearly !
Acts of kindness． Thankful people know that it's much better to give than to receive． When you're thankful， you feel it's your duty to show love to others． Some people volunteer to help people in need． Studies show that volunteers might feel happier and healthier．
Use of time． By spending time with others， you show them how much they mean to you． But being thankful is also better realized by spending time alone． When you're alone ， you can think about the best parts of your day ．You can list them out and think them over． You can find your way to make thanksgiving a part of your life． How wonderful it is! Just enjoy it every day!

Think of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit (精神) and you keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce (弹跳) back.
But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit, are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be broken. They will never be the same. You must understand that and try to have balance in your life. How?
Don't look down on your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different and each of us is special.
Don't let other people set goals for you. Only know what is best for yourself.
Don't give up when you still have something to give. (3)Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
Don't be afraid to fight difficulties. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible. (4) The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly (紧紧地) ; the best way tokeep love is to give it wings.
Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been, but also where you are going.
Don't be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless. It's a treasure (珍宝) you can always carry easily.
Don't use time or words carelessly. You can't get them back.
Life is not a competition, but a trip, step by step.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery (秘密), and today is a gift: that's why we call it “he present”.
