四、阅读短文，选择最佳选项。
If a friend does us a big favour, it's a good idea to write him or her a thank-you note. But how many of us can take the time to do this?
"People don't seem to give thanks quite often," said Kumar from the University of Texas. Why are people uncertain about sending thank-you notes? And how do people feel when they receive one?
Kumar and his team asked some students to send a thank-you note to others by email. Then, they asked both the writers and the recipients how sending or receiving a note made them feel.
They found that the students didn't like to write the notes and they worried about what to say and how to say it. The receivers, however, enjoyed the note. "When you are a receiver, you can feel the warmth of the note," Ben, one of the receivers, said.
The writers also thought it might be embarrassing（尴尬的）for the receivers to get a thank-you note, but this was not true. "The receivers feel quite happy," Kumar said.
"Simple and small changes in our everyday life can make a big difference to others' feelings, so start by writing a thank-you note," Kumar said.
