4．On keeping a Diary in English
Keeping a diary in English is an （61）effective（effect） way to improve our English writing ability．Compared（62）with other forms of writing，it is shorter and takes （63）less（little） time．It can help us to develop the habit of thinking in English．（64）Ifwe keep up in this practice，gradually we'll learn how to express ourselves in English．In keeping a diary in English，we certainly run up against many （65）difficulties（difficult）．In the first place，（66）Itoften happens that we have trouble（67）（in） finding（find）appropriate words and phrases to give expression to our mind．Secondly，there are many idiomatic ways of saying things in Chinese．And it is extremely hard for us to put them into English properly．
As far as I （68）am concerned（concern），my suggestion is that we should always have a notebook and a Chinese-English dictionary within easy reach．Whenever something beats us，we can first put it down in our notebook and then consult our dictionary．We can also turn to our English teacher for help，if necessary．In short，I believe that it is （69）ofgreat use to keep a diary in English for the（70）development（develop） of our writing skills．

3．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）BTry the following steps：
Calm yourself．（37）FYou 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 caused you pain．Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings，learn to look for the love，beauty and kindness around you．
（39）DIf 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）EBut 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 you 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．

2．These days，it seems that almost all of us are too serious．My older daughter often says to me，"Daddy，you've got that serious look again．"Even those of us who are committed to（致力于） non-seriousness are probably too serious．People are frustrated and anxious about almost everything--being five minutes late，witnessing someone look at us wrong or say the wrong thing，paying bills，waiting in line，overcooking a meal，making an honest mistake--you name it，and we all lose perspective（理性看法） over it．
The root of being anxious is our unwillingness to accept life as being different，in any way，from our expectation．Very simply，we want things to be a certain way but they're not a certain way．Life is simply as it is．Perhaps Benjamin Franklin said it best："Our limited perspective，our hopes and fears become our measure of life，and when circumstances don't fit our ideas，they become our difficulties．"We spend our lives wanting things，people，and events to be just as we want them to be--and when they're not，we fight and we suffer．
The first step in recovering from over-seriousness is to admit that you have a problem．You have to want to change，to become more easygoing．You have to see that your own anxiety is largely of your own creation--it's made up of the way you have set up your life and the way you react to it．
The next step is to understand the link between your expectations and your frustration level．Whenever you expect something to be a certain way and it isn't，you're upset and you suffer．On the other hand，when you let go of your expectations，when you accept life as it is，you're free．
A good exercise is to try to approach a single day without expectation．Don't expect people to be friendly．When they're not，you won't be surprised or bothered； if they are，you'll be delighted．Don't expect your day to be problem-free．Instead，as problems come up，say to yourself，"Ah，another barrier to overcome．"As you approach your day in this manner you'll notice how elegant life can be．Rather than fighting against life，you'll be dancing with it．Pretty soon，with practice，you'll lighten up your entire life．And when you lighten up，life is a lot more fun．

1．Compassion （同情） is a desire within us to help others．With effort，we can translate compassion into actions．An experience last weekend showed me this is true．I work part-time in a supermarket across from a building for the elderly．These old people are our main customers，and it's not hard to lose patience over their slowness．But last Sunday，one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson．This untidy man walked up to my register（收款机）with a box of biscuits．He said he was out of cash（现金），had just moved into his room，and had nothing in his cupboards．He asked if we could let him have the food on trust．He promised to repay me the next day．
I couldn't help staring at him．I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before，and what he would be like if luck had gone his way．I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul，all alone in the world．I told him that I was sorry，but store rules didn't allow me to do so．I felt stupid and unkind saying this，but I valued my job．
Just then，another man，standing behind the first，spoke up．If anything，he looked more pitiable．"Charge it to me，"was all he said．
What I had been feeling was pity．Pity is soft and safe and easy．Compassion，on the other hand，is caring in action．I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed either．Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself．I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion．

B．Experience is better gained through practice．
