12.I hated dinner parties.But I decided to give them another shot because I'm in London.And my friend Mallery invited me.And because dinner parties in London are very different from those back in New York.There,"I'm having a dinner party"means:"I'm booking a table for 12 at a restaurant you can't afford and we'll be sharing the checque evenly,no matter what you eat."Worse,in Manhattan there is always someone who leaves before the bill arrives.They'll throw down cash,half of what they owe,and then people like me,who don't drink,end up paying even more.But if I try to use the same trick,the hostess will shout:"Where are you going?"And it's not like I can say I have somewhere to go:everyone know I have nowhere to go.
   But in London,dinner parties are in people's homes.Not only that,the guests are an interesting mix.The last time I went to one,the guests were from France,India.Denmark and Nigeria; it was like a gathering at the United Nations in New York.The mix is less striking.It's like a gathering at Bloomingdale's,a well-known department store.
   For New Yorkers,talking about other parts of the world means Brooklyn and Queens in New York.But at Mallery's,when I said that I had been to Myanmar recently,people knew where it was.In New York people would think it was a usual new club.

9.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.(36)B
Try the following steps:
Calm yourself.(37)F 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.(38)G 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.
(39)D 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.(40)E 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.
4.A man and his girlfriend were married.All of their friends and family came to partake in the festivities and celebrations.In the ceremony,everyone could tell the couple's(31)Dfor each other was true.
A few months later,the wife came to the husband with a(32)B,"I read in a magazine a while ago,about how we can(33)Aour marriage,"she offered."Each of us will write a list of the things that we find a bit(34)A with the other person.Then,we can talk about how we can fix them together and make our lives(35)B."
The husband(36)B.So each of them went to a(37)B room and thought of the things that annoyed (使生气) them about the other.Then they thought about this question and wrote down what they(38)A.
The next morning,they decided that they would(39)Ctheir lists.
"I'll start,"offered the wife.She took out her list.It had many items on it,(40)Dto fill three pages.In fact,as she started reading the list of the little annoyances,she noticed that(41)Bwas starting to appear on her husband's face.
"What's wrong?"she asked."Nothing,"the husband replied,"(42)D reading your list."
The wife continued to read(43)Ashe had read all three pages to her husband.
"Now,you read your list and then we'll talk about the things on both of our lists,"she said(44)B.
Quietly the husband stated,"I don't have anything on my list.I think you are(45)Cthe way that you are.You are lovely and wonderful and I wouldn't want to try and(46)A anything about you."
The wife,(47)B by his honesty and the depth of his love for her and his(48)Aof her,turned her head and wept.
In life,there is enough time when we are disappointed,(49)Cand annoyed.We don't really have to go looking for them.We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty,light and promise.Why(50)C time looking for the bad,disappointing or annoying when we can see the wonderful things before us?
