When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of you
题型：不详难度：来源：
When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible—and it can be surprisingly helpful to your physical and mental health. Indeed, research has shown that people who forgive report more energy, better appetite(胃口) and better sleep patterns. “People who forgive show less anger and more hopeful,” says Dr. Frederic Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good. “So it can help save on the wear and tear on our system and allow people to feel more energetic.”
So when someone has hurt you, calm yourself first. Take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love. Don’t wait for an apology. “Many times the person who hurt you may never be thinking of apologizing,” says Dr. Luskin. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. So if you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting a very long time.” Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean accepting the action of the person who upset you. Mentally going over your hurt gives power to the person who brought you pain. Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. Finally, try to see things from the other person’s perspective(视角). You may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance(无知)，fear—even love. To gain perspective, you may want to write a letter to yourself from that person’s point of view.
小题1:The text is mainly written to explain ___.| A．how to keep yourself from being hurt | B．how to stay mentally healthy | | C．how and when to remain calm | D．why and how to pardon others |

小题3:Dr. Luskin advised us not to wait for an apology after being hurt because___.| A．we are not patient enough | B．we’d feel worse accepting other’s apology | | C．people seldom want to apologize | D．people don’t mean it when they apologize |

解析
小题1:本题考查考生对全文整体的把握能力。纵观全文，可知作者详尽地阐释了宽恕他人的原因及其办法。
小题2:本题考查考生对文中细节的理解程度。第二段揭示考生。 “Take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pressure...”,由此可知，作者认为这样做才是使自己平静的有效途径。
小题3:本题考查考生根据上下文对文中语句的理解程度。第二段中作者提到“They may have wanted to hurt you or they don’t see things the same way.”由此可见，蓄意想伤害你的人是不会轻易道歉的，所以永远不要坐等他人的道歉，要主动压制自己的怒火。 |

Pulling heavy suitcases all day in the summer is hard work, especially when you’re a thin 14-year-old. That was me in 1940—the youngest and smallest baggage boy at New York City’s Pennsylvania Railway Station.
After just a few days on the job, I began noticing that the other fellows were overcharging passengers. I’d like to join them, thinking, “Everyone else is doing it.”
When I got home that night, I told my dad what I wanted to do. “You give an honest day’s work,” he said, looking at me straight in the eye. “They’re paying you. If they want to do that, you let them do that.”
I followed my dad’s advice for the rest of that summer and have lived by his words ever since.
Of all the jobs I’ve had, it was my experience at Pennsylvania. Railway Service that has stuck with me. Now I teach my players to have respect for other people and their possessions. Being a member of a team is a totally shared experience. If one person steals, it destroys trust and hurts everyone. I can put up with many things, but not with people who steal. If one of my players were caught stealing, he’d be gone.
Whether you’re on a sports team, in an office or a member of a family, if you can’t trust one another, there’s going to be trouble.
小题1:What can be inferred about the baggage boys?| A．They could earn much, but they had to work hard. | | B．Many of them earned money in a dishonest way. | | C．They were all from poor families. | | D．They were all thin, young boys. |
小题2: What does the father’s advice imply?| A．It is wrong to give more pay to the passengers. | | B．Don’t believe them if they are paying you more. | | C．Don’t follow others to overcharge the passengers. | | D．It is difficult to work hard and live as an honest boy. |
小题3:The writer can’t put up with stealing because he thinks that ___.| A．it is a totally shared experience | | B．it is considered as the most dangerous | | C．it does great harm to human relationship | | D．it may lead to the loss of his sports team |
小题4:It can be concluded from the text that ___.| A．his father’s advice helped him to decide which job to take up | | B．working in the sports team was his most important experience | | C．he learnt much from his shared experience with his team members | | D．his experience as a baggage boy had a great influence on his latter life |

One night I talked to my mom about the school homework and she said, “Oh, that’s 25 ” and then went back to mop the floor.
“Don’t you ever 26 ?” I thought. But I didn’t say anything and stormed off. She had no idea I was 27 upset. She would have been willing to talk to me had I 28 her bow important it was to me.
At last I just blew up. “Mom, this has got to 29 . You tell me everything you want me to do and I just do it because it’s 30 than if fighting. Well, I’m sick of it.” This all came as a 31 to her.
After my blow up, we felt like we were 32 all over in our relationship. But it’s getting better all the lime. We discuss things now and I always 33 my feelings with her.
If you adopt Lose-Win as your basic 34 toward life, then people will wipe their dirty feet on you. You’ll also be 35 your true feelings deep inside. And that’s not healthy.

Along a long path we came to a deep valley, on the far side of which the path led into some very thick bushes. Rather than push through up again and rejoin the path on the far side of the bushes.
As I climbed down into the valley a bird flew off h rock on which I had put my hand. On looking at the spot from which the bird had risen, I saw two eggs. They were the kind that I did not have in my collection, so I placed them carefully in my bag, wrapped in a little dry grass.
As we went further down the valley the sides became steeper and not far from where I had entered. It came to drop of about twelve to fourteen feet. The water that rushed down all these small valleys in the rainy season had worn the rock as glass. As it was too deep to climb down, I handed my gun to one of the men and slid down it. My feet had hardly touched the sandy bottom when the two men jumped down, one on each side of me. They quickly gave me the gun and asked me if I had heard the tiger. In fact, I had heard nothing; possibly because of the noise I made sliding down the rock. The men said they had heard a tiger growling somewhere nearby, but they did not know from which direction the noise had come.

“Mom, let’s run through the rain.” a girl’s voice 19 me.

Time is very important in our lives. It 16 our everybody moments. However, time never had any 17 in my life until I received a watch from my father that organized my life and made me more 18 .
It’s round in the center with two silver bands that go around my wrist. And all of it is made of silver. This 19 tells me the importance of time in my life.
I received this 20 on a gray-sky day. I had to go to the airport at 9:00 am to 21 up my uncle Ali and take him to my father’s house 22 , I was late because I was 23 out with my friends. Later on that day, around 11:00 am, I 24 my uncle, but I was very 25 for him. He had 26 the airport and taken a taxi to my father’s house.
I got to my father’s house at 2:00 pm on the same day and looking at my angry father’s face I felt 27 of myself at that moment. After I said hi to my 28 father and tired uncle, my father asked me to sit next to him where he handed me this watch as a gift from him. Then he said, “Essa, did you have 29 with your friends today?” I answered, “Yes, father, and I’m sorry about not picking up my uncle Ali.” He said, “What you 30 was not very nice and you should be sorry for your 31 .” I was ashamed and said, “Father, I’ll never do it again, I promise.” He said, “I hope today you learned something important, and this watch will be a 32 for you.” He told me to take this watch and use it as an organizer of my 33 .
I learned a very important lesson from my father: to 34 time and never be late to get someone. This watch is 35 to me, not because of its price, but because of the lesson that I learned from it.
