Our thoughts, words, and actions often cause harm to others and to us. Without reconciliation (和解), we cannot deepen our understanding and only cause more suffering. "Beginning Anew" is a(n)   1  of reconciliation. It involves three steps —— sharing appreciation, expressing   2  , and expressing hurt and difficulties.
In the first step, we share appreciation. We acknowledge the   3  qualities of the other person. The second step——expressing regret, is to  4 with the other person our regrets for the things we have done or said that might have caused him or her  5 . This requires humility (谦逊), and the   6  to let go of our own pride. In the third step, we express our own hurt with mindful and loving   7  without blaming or criticizing. We speak in such a way that the other person can listen and   8 our words. If we blame the other person, his heart will   9   and he will not be able to hear us. We ask the other person to help us to understand why he has spoken and acted as he has, causing us so much pain. Perhaps, later, he can share his feelings so that we can understand him more deeply. If a strong   10  arises in us while we are expressing our suffering, we should simply   11  and come back to our breathing until the emotion becomes   12 . The other person can   13  us by following his breathing until we are ready to continue. We can enjoy practicing "Beginning Anew" with our partner, our family, or our friends   14 . By doing this, we will   15  misunderstandings from accumulating. Rather, we will take care of them as they arise, as we take care of our children.

Americans are proud of their variety and individuality,yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform,whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five­star general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?
Among the arguments for uniforms,one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian(百姓的)clothes. People have become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears a uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic(技工) is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse,a policeman,a barber,or a waiter to lose professional identity(身份)than to step out of uniform?
Uniforms also have many practical benefits. They save on other clothes. They save on laundry(洗衣店)bills. They are tax­deductible(可减税的).They are often more comfortable and more durable than civilian clothes.
Primary(主要的) among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms,the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it,without change,until retirement. When people look alike,they tend to think,speak,and act similarly,on the job at least.
Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long­lasting,often their initial(最初的)expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain(维持,维护),requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering(洗涤) possible with many types of civilian clothes.
小题1:It is surprising that Americans who worship variety and individuality______.
A.still judge a man by his clothes
B.hold the uniform in such high regard
C.enjoy having a professional identity
D.will respect an elevator operator as much as a general in uniform
小题2:People are accustomed to think that a man in uniform ____.
A.suggests quality workB.discards(丢弃)his social identity
C.appears to be more practicalD.looks superior to a person in civilian clothes
小题3:The chief function of a uniform is to ____.
A.provide practical benefits to the wearerB.make the wearer catch the public eye
C.inspire the wearer " s confidence in himselfD.provide the wearer with a professional identity
小题4:According to the passage, people wearing uniforms ____.
A.are usually helpfulB.have little or no individual freedom
C.tend to lose their individualityD.enjoy greater popularity
小题5:The best title for this passage would be ____.
A.Uniforms and SocietyB.The Importance of Wearing a Uniform
C.Practical Benefits of Wearing a UniformD.Advantages and Disadvantages of Uniforms
