10．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 lesssadness，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 ofbreaths 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．

9．Home to me means a sense of familiarity and nostalgia（怀旧）．It's fun to come home．It looks the same．It smells the same．You'll realize what's changed is you．Home is where we ran remember pain，live，and some other experiences； We parted here； My parents met here； I won three championships here．
If I close my eyes，I can still have a clear picture in mind of my first home．I walk in the door and see a brown sofa surrounding a low glass-top wooden table．To the right of the living room is my first bedroom．It's empty，but it's where my earliest memories are．
There is the dining room table where I celebrated birthdays，and where I cried on Halloween-when I didn't want to wear the skirt my mother made for me．I always liked standing on that table because it made me feel tall and strong．If I sit at this table，I can see my favorite room in the house，my parents'room．It is simple：a brown wooden dresser lines the right side of the wall next to a television and a couple of photos of my grandparents on each side．Their bed is my safe zone．I can jump on it anytime-waking up my parents if I am scared or if I have an important announcement that cannot wait until the morning．
I'm lucky because I know my first home still exists．It exists in my mind and heart，on a physical property（住宅） on West 64th street on the western edge of Los Angeles．It is proof I lived，I grew and I learned．
Sometimes when I feel lost，I lie down and shut my eyes，and I go home．I know it's where I'll find my family，my dogs，and my belongings．I purposely leave the window open at night because I know I'll be blamed by Mom．But I don't mind，because I want to hear her say my name，which reminds me I'm home．

8．Arthur Miller （1915-2005）is universally recognized as one of the greatest dramatists of the 20th century．Miller's father had moved to the USA from Austria Hungary，drawn like so many others by the"Great American Dream"．However，he experienced severe financial hardship when his family business was ruined in the Great Depression of the early 1930s．
Miller's most famous play，Death of a Salesman，is a powerful attack on the American system，with its aggressive way of doing business and its insistence on money and social status as indicators of worth．In Willy Loman，the hero of the play，we see a man who has got into trouble with this system．Willy is"burnt out"and in the cruel world of business there is no room for sentiment：if he can't do the work，then he is no good to his employer，the Wagner Company，and he must go．Willy is painfully aware of this，and at a loss as to what to do with his lack of success．He refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills himself in the end．
When it was first staged in 1949，the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews，and it won the Tony Award for Best Play，the New York Drama Critics'Circle Award，and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama．It was the first play to win all three of these major awards．

5．（36）BWhen a starving man gets a meal，he begins to think about an overcoat； when an executive gets a new sports car，visions of country clubs and pleasure beats dance into view．
The many wants of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels．（37）C
The first and most basic level of wnts involves food．Once this want is satisfied，a second level of wants appears：clothing and some sort of shelter．By the end of World War II these wants were satisfied for a great majority of Americans．（38）A It included such items as automobiles and new houses．
By 1957or 1958this third level of wants was fairly well satisfied．Then，in the late 1950s a fourth level of wants appeared：the"life-enriching"level．While the other levels involve physical satisfaction-the feeding，comfort，safety，and transportationof the human body-this level stresses mental needs for recognition，achievement and happiness．It includes a variety of goods and services，many of which could be called"luxury"items．Among them are vacation trips，the best medical care，and entertainment．（39）F
On this level，a greater percentage of consumer spending goes to services，while on the first three levels more is spent on goods．Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their income increases，or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level？
A fifth level probably would involve wants that can be achieved best by community action．Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease，ignorance，crime and prejudice．（40）EIn this way，we can enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels．

A．Then a third level appeared．
B．Human wants seem endless．
C．When there is money enough to satisfy one level of wants，anoher level appears．
D．There are several levels of wants in one's life．
E．At this stage，we now may seek to ensure the health，safety，and leisure．
F．Also included here are fancy foods and the latest styles in clothing．
G．Different people have different wants on each level．

One of those volunteers was actor Sam Waterston，of NBC's/law & Order．Waterston has acted Lincoln on stage and on screen．Even though he has become an expert on the nation's 16th president，Waterston says he still couldn't believe how amazing Lincoln's Cottage was．
"This home is truly one of the better kept secrets about the man，"Waterston told TFK．"He spent a quarter of his presidency（1861-1865）here，and he worked on the Emancipation Proclamation here．Even though it was like a summer home，he did a lot of important work here．It's a great place for kids to learn more about Lincoln's life．"

3．Niels Bohr did well at school without ever being brilliant，usually coming third or fourth in a class of about 20students．If he really was good at any subject，it was，perhaps，physical education．He was an excellent soccer player，yet not as good as his brother．This was Niels Bohr，the worldfamous Nobel prize winning physicist．
Born to a physiology（生理学）professor，Niels lived in a world of ideas and discussion from his very early childhood at home．He developed an interest in physics and mathematics from the early days of his education．With no laboratory available in school and college，he would perform experiments in his father's laboratory．His first work on surface tension was done here，for which he won the Gold Medal in 1906from the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences．
Early in his scientific career，Bohr made great contributions to the understanding of atomic（原子的）structure based on quantum mechanics（量子力学）．Neils Bohr came up with the model of an atom which was able to explain all the properties（性质）of the atom．It is this atomic model that is accepted even today with only ver slight improvements．This work won him the Nobel Prize for physics in 1922．
When the Nazis controlled Denmark，his life became difficult．He had to escape to Sweden in 1943in a fishing boat；from there he fled to England．England opened up opportunities of working on the atom bomb（原子弹）．After a few months he joined a British research team and went to Los Alamos in the United States where the team continued to work on the project．
Niels was also deeply concerned with making people realize the destructive power of the atomic bomb．He published a letter to the United Nations in 1950which asked them to help get rid of nuclear（核的）weaponsin the world．This and his other activities won Bohr the first U．S．Atoms for Peace Award in 1957．He spent his remaining years showing，people that nuclear energy must be used in a positive and productive way．
