2012届中考英语考点备考复习7 第二章 写作之旅 第一板块：美文共赏 The Best Day on Earth An ordinary(平常的) morning. You are starting your ordinary day. Do you want it to be ordinary?

We all have something to be grateful for. If you are grateful for everything that you have, you will get more things to feel gratitude for. And this feeling makes you feel good. “Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn’t learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn’t learn a little, at least we didn’t get sick, an
