When our children were younger, it was popular for city people to buy a small farm in the country and       a few animals there.

One of our new neighbors        ducks. They seemed very lovely; however, they were       to run around in their yard and the neighbors’ yards—      ours. Our vegetables were their favorite food. Often we would “shoo” the ducks home and want to know_      there wasn’t a fence to keep them.

One day, I asked her if she      her ducks were bringing trouble to my garden. She told me that they were her   _   and he was away traveling. My attitude (态度) to her was bad. We realized that our neighbors were not planning to build a        , so our son built one .The ducks now stayed in their own yard. I didn’t see my neighbor again       months later.

A women’s church group asked me to       at their mother and daughter party. The topic was “Love”. Much to my       ,the first woman I saw when I walked into the church was my neighbor. I knew I could not speak about love to them when I hadn’t been     __ my neighbor. So I walk        to her and said sorry for my attitude. She forgave(原谅)me and then we talked a lot     _ .

        We all like getting into gossip (闲聊). Studies s    1     that gossiping
releases (释放) our emotions and reduces tension (紧张). Research has
proved that in the USA, gossiping can make people more democratic (民主,平等). It is a way of free expression. While gossiping, people
communicate with a free mind.
        Gossiping h   2     us shift (转移) our interest to others. When we gossip, we seldom discuss our own
problems. We generally discuss another person who is not present. Doing so, we laugh away our own cares.
Sometimes we feel sorry for a person involved in a particular problem. And we also come up with solutions to his problems. More happiness flows into our lives when we help and guide a person we are t    3     about.
        But, be aware of the dangerous side of gossiping! Gossiping can be harmful if you h     4     others on
purpose. When you start speaking i     5      of someone, you start criticizing others for nothing. When you
gossip with an ill-will, it makes you tense. Tension naturally comes to you when you try to make others tense. 
       Why do people talk badly about each other? People pass bad remarks about others simply out of hatred (憎恨), fear, envy (妒忌), and greed. The person making insulting (侮辱性的) remarks thinks his listener will keep
the talk a s    6    , but gossiping travels faster than the wind! And still faster when the gossiping is bad!     
        We all gossip at one time or another. After gossiping, people feel l    7     and relaxed. But purely bad
gossiping makes us tense and envious of others.
