For years Tom Anderson's life was withered up (枯萎) by the memory of his part in a fraternity (友爱, 互助会) adventure that resulted in the death of one of his classmates.He and his wife separated after
six years of marriage.Then the news about Tom changed.His wife Betty came back; he earned a fine
position.One day he told me what had changed his life."I used to think, 'Nothing can undo what I have
done.' The thought of my guilt would stop me in the middle of a smile or a handshake.It put a wall
between my wife and me."
"Then I had an unexpected visit from the person I was most afraid to see-the mother of the college
classmate who died.'Years ago', she said, 'I found it in my heart, through prayer, to forgive you.Betty
forgave you.So did your friends and employers.'She paused, and then said seriously, 'You are the one
person who hasn't forgiven Tom Anderson.Who do you think you are to stand out against the people of
this town and the Lord Almighty?'I looked into her eyes and found there a_kind_of_permission_to_be
_the_person_I_might_have_been_if_her_boy_had_lived.For the first time in my adult life I felt worthy to
love and be loved."
It is only through forgiveness of our mistakes that we gain the freedom to learn from experience. But
forgiving our shortcomings doesn't mean denying that they exist.On the contrary, it means facing them
honestly, realistically.
Can a person be allforgiving and still be human?A scientist I know spent four years as a slave laborer
in Germany.His parents were killed by Nazi street bullies; his younger sister and older brother were sent
to the gas chambers.This is a man who has every reason to hate.Yet he is filled with a love of life that he
conveys to everyone who knows him.He explained it to me the other day:"In the beginning I was filled
with hatred.Then I realized that in hating I had become my own enemy.Unless you forgive, you cannot
love.And without love, life has no meaning."Forgiveness is truly the saving grace.

For many of us, printed books are
satisfying in ways beyond the words they contain. Billions of printed books
have been published, read and saved in the 600 years since movable type was
invented, so why mess with a good things?| 阅读理解 | ||||||||||||||
| For most students, the most difficult part of any exam is the actual studying.Typically, there is so much material to study that students begin to delay, putting off studying until the night before.After a latenight cram session, students arrive at the exam tired and feeling dazed by large amounts of information they've tried to absorb.The easiest way to study, for an exam, and avoid the cram sessions, is to make a study plan. The first step to making a study plan is to decide whether you want to study alone or in a group.When planning study times and organizing study sessions for a group, the needs and schedules of the group are a factor.As a result, you must decide whether you will be studying with a group before continuing with making a study plan. There are two time elements that are important to an effective study plan.The first time element to consider is the amount of time you have until the exam, while the second is the amount of time during the day that you can set aside for studying.Try to study for at least two hours per day for major exams, like entrance exams, and at least thirty minutes per day for lecture exams.If you are limited on the amount of time until the exam, such as one week or less, then you will need to increase your daily study time.Set up a schedule with clearly marked study times for each day. The content to be studied depends on the type of exam.For placement exams, entrance exams, and licensure exams, there are no specific textbooks or prior lecture notes.There are, however, commercially available review guides, and textbooks and lecture notes from past classes often contain a great deal of material that will help with the exam.By looking at the content areas of the test, you can determine what readily available material to study.For coursebased exams, textbooks and lecture notes are both ideal study content.Break the content into chunks(块), and then assign specific chunks to the study times that you have listed on your schedule. Once you have set up study times and assigned material to them, it is time to study.When reading textbooks, take notes on the information.With lecture notes, write notes in the margin.Use a highlighter.The idea is to make key information readily available for review.In addition, making notes and looking up ideas to supplement notes reinforces the material in your mind.Quiz yourself as you finish each area you are studying to determine what you still need to review. Study plans are as unique as the person making them.The most effective study plan will take into account your schedule, the times each day when you are able to study without interruption, and the amount of material that needs to be reviewed.By spreading out the study times and breaking up the information, you make it easier to absorb and retain the necessary material before the exam.
