  I grew up in a very poor common family. My father used some unusual ways to teach me. The following is the one I value most.

On the first day of 2nd grade, my father asked me if I could read well. “Yes, I can,” I said. So he gave me a map with street names and directions on how to walk to school. My school is 3 miles away, and I had never been off my home street by myself, ever.

My father said, “Lily, everything you need to know is written on the map, read the map and follow the directions.” My father kissed me goodbye and sent me out the door. I was afraid. How could I walk to school alone? On my way to school, I cried as I walked.

I don’t know how long it took me to get to school, but I do remember how I felt when I came around the last street corner, and saw my school. I jumped up and down. I wished I could tell my father that I made it.

My father wasn’t there when I got home and I was asleep when he got home. The next day I waited for him to ask what had happened. He never did. Years later, I asked him why he did that and why he didn’t care what had happened. He just looked at me for a while and then said, “I didn’t have to ask you, because I knew. I followed you all the way. I saw you jump up and down at the last street corner. I felt what you felt.” Then I understood and cried.

阅读下面短文,  根据短文内容完成句子。

I grew up in the 1960s. I was taught from an early age to send a handwritten thank-you note showing gratitude for kindness. My mother used to buy me a box of stationery（信纸）and teach me the value of saying “thank you”. She turned out to be right.

Amit Kumar is a professor at the University of Texas. He said that people liked getting thank-you notes. However, most of us underestimate（低估）the positive feelings they will bring. He asked volunteers how they felt after they received thank-you notes. Many said they were “extremely happy.”

Dr Kumar found that it took most volunteers less than five minutes to write the thank-you notes. Just five minutes to make another person feel “extremely happy”! Yet, in reality, the idea of getting an actual pen, writing an actual note, finding a stamp and a mailbox, never seems to come to mind. We usually do what is convenient for us—a quick text or an email.

It’s easy to say “I’m busy,” but even very busy businessmen find time to write thank-you notes. Take Doug Conant for example. When he became CEO of Campbell’s Soup, the company had lost half of its market value. It was bad for morale（士气）. He started fixing that by writing to every employee. In his ten years as Campbell’s CEO, Conant wrote over 30,000 notes in all. Not surprisingly, the company turned around.

While people always like getting thank-you notes, sending the note in time is also important. The late（已故的）Princess Diana（戴安娜王妃）was known to write a note as soon as she returned home from an event and have it posted right away.

Professor Kumar’s experiment, Doug Conant and Princess Diana prove my mother’s instruction that an expression of kindness in this fast-paced world still works. Thanks, Mom.

【1】The writer’s mother used to buy him a box of stationery and teach him _________.

【2】According to Professor Kumar’s experiment, people feel _________.

【3】The underlined part in Paragraph 4 probably means “ _________” in Chinese.

【4】While people always like getting thank-you notes, sending the note in time is _________.

【5】The title of passage is “ _________”.
