【题目】Forgiveness

To forgive is a virtue, but no one has ever said it is easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research.

1 Try the following steps:

Calm yourself. 2 You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.

Don’t wait for an apology. Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. 3 Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.

Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者). Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who causes you pain. Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you.

4 If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love. You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender’s point of view.

Don’t forget to forgive yourself. 5 But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don’t do it.

A. Why should you forgive?

B. How should you start to forgive?

C. Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.

D. Try to see things from your offender’s angle.

E. For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.

F. To make your anger die away, try a simple stress-management technique.

G. If you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time.

【题目】Does your local town have a nickname?If so,what does it say about the area and the people who live there?

Many cities are recognized across the world by their unofficial titles.New York is the Big Apple,London is the Big Smoke,and Los Angeles is famously called La La Land.

Now Britain's National Mapping Agency(规划局),Ordnance Survey,and the British Linguistics (语言学)Charity,the English Project,are launching an interactive project to uncover the nicknames people use for local places.

The project,which was launched last week to coincide with English Language Day,is called Location Lingo.It aims to identify the names people use every day,whether it's a term of endearment(昵称) or a hate name.

The University of Winchester's Professor Bill Lucas is a leader of the English Project.He explains that unofficial place names often show what people think about a place.“The name that people conjure_up or create for a place forms an emotional connection,”he says.“So Basingstoke becomes Amazingstoke,Swindon is known as Swindump.Padstow,hometown of chef Rick Stein,is nicknamed Padstein.”

Basingstoke is a town in central England.The local nickname,Amazingstoke,shows the love that locals seem to have for the area.Swindon,on the other hand,is sometimes called Swindump,showing that local people think it's a big dump.Stanford Le Hope in Essex is called Stanford No Hope by locals.And Padstow in Cornwall is so closely associated with the local celebrity Rick Stein that it's become known as Padstein.

Since launching the online database (数据) last week,the creators have already received 3,000 alternative titles for places and landmarks.

Some also say that the project could even have a practical use.Glen Hart,Ordnance Survey's head of research,says the information could be very helpful to the emergency services,for example.“By having the most complete set of nicknames,we could help the emergency services quickly locate the right place,and maybe even save lives,”he says.
