2012不劳而获的东西双语阅读.docxVIP

Over the fast year I have read lots of material on self-improvement and success. One common theme I found in almost everything I read was an emphasis on gratitude. In an effort to increase gratitude in my life, I have listed the top 5 things that have been given to me for nothing: 1 .My Car When my Gramma bought a new car, she sold her 1997 Ford Tauras to me for $1 .A white Tauras isnt exactly the coolest car on the block, but I have driven it for 7 years with minimal maintenance costs. After 14 years and 100,000 miles, it still gets me where i need to go去年我看了很多关于自我修养和成功的材料，我发现差不多所有的材料都有一个共同点，那就是强调感恩。为了增强我在生活中的感恩意识，我列出了五个对我来讲最重要的不劳所获。2.
