7.There were so many nights when I,as a young boy,had to watch helplessly as my father verbally and physically abused my mother.I can still recall the smell of alcohol,see the fear in my mother's eyes,and feel the hopeless misery that comes when we see people we love hurting each other in incomprehensible ways.
I would not wish that experience on anyone,especially not a child.If I settle down in those memories,I can feel myself wanting to hurt my father back,in the same ways he hurts my mother and in ways of which I was incapable as a small boy.I see my mother's face and I see this gentle human being whom I loved so very much and who did nothing to deserve the pain imposed upon her.
When I recall this story,I realize how difficult the process of forgiving truly is.Intellectually,I know my father caused pain because he was in pain.Spiritually,I know my faith tells me my father deserves to be forgiven as God forgive us all.But it is still difficult.The sufferings we have witnessed or experienced live on in our memories.Even years later they can cause us fresh pain each time we recall them.
Are you hurt and suffering?Is the injury new,or is it an old,unhealed wound?Know that what was done to you was wrong,unfair,and undeserved.You are right to be outraged.And it is perfectly normal to want to hurt back when you have been hurt.But hurting back rarely satisfies.We think it will,but it doesn't.If I slap you after you slap me,it does not lessen the sting I feel on my own face,nor does it weaken my sadness as to the fact you have struck me.Revenge gives,at best,only momentary relief from our emotional pain.The only way to experience healing and peace is to forgive.Until we can forgive,we remain locked in our pain and locked out of the possibility of experiencing healing and freedom; locked out of the possibility of being at peace.
Without forgiveness,we remain tied to the person who harmed us.We are bound with chains of bitterness,trapped.Until we can forgive the person who harmed us,that person will hold the keys to our happiness; that person will be our jailer (监狱看守).
When we forgive,we take back control of our own fate and our feelings.We become our own liberators.Forgiveness,in other words,is the best form of self-interest.This is true both spiritually and scientifically. We don't forgive to help the other person.We don't forgive for others.We forgive for ourselves.

66.Why did the writer mention the story of his father's abuse of his mom?D
A.Because he loved his mom and wanted to fight back someday.
B.Because his father finally realized his own mistake and was forgiven.
C.Because witnessing his mom's suffering is still hurting him and has no way to relieve.
D.Because he felt that he was spiritually relieved from the pain through forgiveness.
67.The writer wrote the article in order to tell people thatA.
A.we may never heal our pains or sufferings in the heart unless we learn to forgive
B.we should never forget the sufferings buried in our hearts
C.we may get tied to the person who harmed us all through life
D.we shouldn't worry about the pains we caused,since forgiving is always easier than imagined
68.What is the 4th paragraph mainly about?A
A.Hurting back does no good to relieving one's own hurts,but forgiving.
B.If someone slaps you,you just slap back,which will lessen your pain.
C.The sufferings we have witnessed or experienced will live on in our memories for ever.
D.After being hurt,if one wants to experience healing and freedom,he should forget the hurt.
69.Which of the following statements is the closest in meaning to the underlined sentence?B
A.In order to help others,we should stop forgiving and fight back.
B.The purpose of our forgiving is not to help other people.
C.Our forgiving is also useful to helping others,though they may have hurt us.
D.Only by forgiving others can we help them to be good people.

分析 本文属于记叙文,通过向我们讲述作者小时候看见父亲虐待母亲,引出作者觉得是否应该原谅自己父亲的讨论,作者认为我们可以原谅伤害过我们的人,这样才能让我们自己从中解脱出来.

解答 66.D  细节理解题,根据When I recall this story,I realize how difficult the process of forgiving truly is.Intellectually,I know my father caused pain because he was in pain.Spiritually,I know my faith tells me my father deserves to be forgiven as God forgive us all.可知作者提到父亲虐待母亲的故事是为了说明他觉得他在精神上从宽恕中解脱,故选D.
67.A  细节理解题,根据Without forgiveness,we remain tied to the person who harmed us.We are bound with chains of bitterness,trapped.Until we can forgive the person who harmed us,that person will hold the keys to our happiness; that person will be our jailer (监狱看守).可知如果我们不原谅他人,我们将永远无法治愈心中的痛苦,故选A.
68.A  细节理解题,根据The only way to experience healing and peace is to forgive.Until we can forgive,we remain locked in our pain and locked out of the possibility of experiencing healing and freedom; locked out of the possibility of being at peace.可知第四段讲述的是和平的唯一途径就是原谅,伤害别人不利于减轻自己受到的伤害,故选A.
69.B  推理判断题,根据 We don't forgive to help the other person.We don't forgive for others.We forgive for ourselves.可知划线句的意思是我们宽恕的目的不是帮助别人,而是帮助自己,故选B.

18.All you have is what you bring with you
I've always felt a need to be prepared for whatever situation I've found myself in.
My mother once took me to a store when I was seven years old.She and I got to the checkout counter,and she realized she had forgotten a couple of things on her shopping list.She left me with the cart and ran off to get what she needed.
"I'll be right back."she said.
She was gone just a few minutes,but in that time,I had loaded all the things on the belt and everything was rung up.I was left staring at the cashier,who was staling at me."Do you have money for me,son?"she said."I'll need to be paid."-
I didn't realize she was just trying to amuse herself.So I stood there,ashamed and embarrassed.
By the time my mom returned,I was angry."You left me here with no money!This lady asked me for the money,and I had nothing to give her I"
Now that I'm an adult,you'll never catch me with less than $200 in my wallet.I want to be prepared in case I need it.
I've always admired people who are over-prepared.In college,I had a classmate named Norman.One day he was giving a presentation on an overhead projector and in the middle of his talk,the light bulb (灯泡) on the projector blew out.We would have to wait ten minutes until someone found a new'projector.
"It's Okay."he announced."There's nothing to worry about."
We watched him walk over to his bag and pull something out.He had brought along a spare bulb for the Overhead projector.Who could even think of that?
I often told my students,"When you go into the wilderness,the only thing you can depend on is what you take with you."And essentially,the wilderness is anywhere but your home or office.So take money.Pack a light bulb.Be prepared.

3.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.
     An apprenticeship is a form of on-the-job training that combines workplace experience and classroom learning.It can last anywhere from one to six years,but four years is typical for most.An apprentice spends the majority of the time in a workplace environment learning the practical skills of a career from a journeyman--someone who has done the job for many years.The rest of the apprentice's time is spent in a classroom environment learning the theoretical skills the career requires.Being an apprentice is a full-time undertaking.
    One of the advantages of apprenticeship is that it does not cost apprentices anything.The companies that hire them pay for school.What's more,it offers apprentices an"earn while you learn"opportunity.They usually start out at half the pay of a journeyman,and the pay increases gradually as they move further along in the job and studies.Near the end of the apprenticeship,their wages are usually 90percent of what a journeyman would receive.Apprenticeship also pays off for employers.It can offer employers a pool of well-trained workers to draw from.
    Despite the advantages,apprentices are usually required to work during the day and attend classes at night,which leaves little time for anything else.Sometimes,they might be laid off(下岗) if business for the employers is slow.
    Once they have completed the apprenticeship and become journeymen,they receive a nationally recognized and portable certification and their pay also increases again.Some journeymen continue employment with the companies they apprenticed with;others go onto different companies or become self-employed contractors.
