I had the privilege to visit the Bridge of Forgiveness in Palawan during the time when I was on the summer’s team.

After the long and exciting week,we had a chance to  21  the place where we were assigned(指定).We  22  the narrow hanging bridge made of two bamboos and a long rope which you can hold  23  for your life as you cross it. I was so afraid of  24 , especially here ,and I think most of us were not  25  to crossing so high a bridge  26 ,our team leader told us that we must cross this bridge in order to see the splendid falls that lie out on the other  27 .

“As you cross this bridge,think about  28  difficult,but it is possible”.

Many times in our lives we face 29 that we don’t expect---broken relationships,betrayal(背叛)of a friend, etc.,and all we can do is  30 . But I noticed that life must go on, and all the burdens must be  31  through forgiveness---forgiveness of yourself and others.

I didn’t understand my cousin  32  she told me I should  33  all those unfriendly guys with  34 . But as I grow older,I realize that lying in the past  35  and guilt will not serve me well.

Once I forgave serious  36  ,I noticed that I couldn’t forget them but every time I remembered them, I  37 . There aer no more pains brought just by the thought of them.

After all,life is good   38  all the hardships pains and difficulties,life teaches me to be   39  in facing and adversity(逆境)while at the same time it makes me  40  to those who suffer, If somebody does something terrible to me,I have to think back the bridge of forgiveness---difficult but possible.

A new law has recently been announced which forbids people to disturb, annoy, harm, kill or interfere with any bats which choose to live in their houses. Anyone who disturbs a bat on its nest ,or handles one without a license will be fined £1,000.

There are some people who like bats. The late Mrs. Ian Fleming was one. She would crawl for miles to see them in caves or hanging from trees. Similarly, there are many people who do not like bats much but are not particularly troubled by them. The chance of a bat resting in their attics(阁楼) or spare bedroom curtains may seem far away from them. But there are others who do not fall into either of these categories and Mr. Auberon Waugh is one. Underneath his house are eight large cellars(地下室) which for some reason bats have chosen to claim for themselves. He finds it extremely disagreeable to have to fight his way through a colony of them every time he wants a bottle of wine. And as a wine-lover he gets a particular pleasure from the ownership of wine. He has certain bottles in his cellar which he thinks are too good to serve to anyone he knows, but he likes to go down and enjoy looking at them occasionally. The bats entirely destroy this pleasure.

Until the recent law, he could keep the bat problem within manageable proportions by sending his children down on a bat hunt every three months armed with tennis rackets. They usually managed to kill one or two and discouraged the rest from settling. But now, Mr. Waugh fears that the bats will take over the house. To solve the problem he inquired what course of action he could take and was told by Dr Robert Stebbings of the Institute of Terrestrial Ecology, “I am sure that no one will mind if you pick up a bat and take it outside and hang it on a tree or the outside of the house.” The trouble with this, as Mr. Waugh explains, is that he would be fined a £1,000 if he had not already applied to the Nature Conservancy Council for a license to handle bats. And there is no certainty that he would automatically be granted(agreed to give)one.
