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 hopefulness,”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 think 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.

68.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

69.According to the writer,what is the right way to calm down after being hurt?

A.Try to figure out why you get hurt.

B.Write a letter to the person who hurt you.

C.Persuade yourself to accept what others have done to you.

D.Think about pleasant things and forget about the hurt.

70.Dr.Luskin advises us not to wait for an apology after being hurt because______.

A.we are not patient enough

B.we’d feel worse accepting others’apology

C.people seldom want to apologize

D.people don’t mean it when they apologize

It seemed no one cared about Steve, a twelve-year-old boy with alcoholic(酗酒) parents. In spite of his reading skills, he had been failing exams since first grade. Steve went unnoticed until Miss White.
  Miss White was a smiling, young, beautiful redhead, and Steve was in love! For the first time in his young life, he couldn’t take his eyes off his teacher; yet, still he failed. He never did his homework, and he was always in trouble with Miss White. His heart would break under her sharp words, and when he was punished for failing to turn in his homework, he felt just miserable! Still, he did not study.
  Until one day, Miss White talked to him, “Steve! Please! I care about you!”
Suddenly, Steve understood! Someone cared about him!
From that moment nothing was the same for Steve. Life at home remained the same, but life still changed. He discovered that not only could he learn, but he was good at it!
After high-school Steve joined the Navy, and he had a successful military career. During that time, he met the love of his life, he raised a family, and he graduated from a college. Later he became a professor in a nearby college
  You see, it’s simple, really. A change took place within the heart of one boy, all because of one teacher, who cared.

We know the westerners like to plan for their time carefully in order to do all the things that are important to them. So if your American or English friend asks you to dinner, he usually invites you a week ahead. But if you really have no time and can't go to the dinner, you can ring him to say sorry. The dinner is usually served at home, sometimes at a restaurant. You should get there on time, and don't forget to put on your fine clothes. It is also a good idea to take some little presents to your friend, such as flowers, chocolates and so on. When you are at dinner, you should also observe (遵守) some other customs. Here I'll give you some dos and don'ts about them in the following: 

1) Don't leave bones on the table or the floor. (You should put them on your plate with fingers.) 

2) Don't use your bowl to drink soup, but use your spoon to help you instead.

3) Don't talk with much food in your mouth.

4) Don't ask others to have more wine. (This is quite different from that in China.)

5) After dinner, use your napkin (餐巾) to clean your mouth and hands.

6) Make sure small pieces of food are not left on your face.

        Then after dinner, you can stay there a little time. And your friend will be pleased if you leave in half an hour or so. Next day, you had better ring him up to thank him for the good dinner.

I thought my luck had run out at the end of the summer holiday. It was not the   31  of the new term that did it, but the   32  military training. My   33  nightmare(噩梦) had finally come true.
