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.
