14．To forgive is 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．
（16）B Try the following steps：
Calm yourself．（17）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．（18）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 you hurt gives power to the person who causes you pain．Instead of focusing on your mounded feelings，learn to look for the love，beauty and kindness around you．
（19）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．

13．A newly-published study has shown that loneliness can spread from one person to another，like a disease．
Researchers used information from the Framingham Study，which began in 1948．The Framingham Study gathers information about physical and mental health，personal behavior and diet．At first，the study involved about 5，000people in the American state of Massachusetts．Now，more than 12，000individuals are taking part．
Information from the Framingham Study showed earlier that happiness can spread from person to person．So can behaviors like littering and the ability to stop smoking．
University of Chicago psychologist John Cacioppo led the recent study．He and other researchers attempted to show how often people felt lonely．They found that the feeling of loneliness spread through social groups．
Having a social connection with a lonely person increased the chances that another individual would feel lonely．In fact，a friend of a lonely person was 52% more likely to develop feelings of loneliness．A friend of that person was 25% more likely．The researchers say this shows that a person could indirectly be affected by someone's loneliness．
The effect was strongest among friends．Neighbors were the second most affected group．The effect was weaker on husbands and wives，and brothers and sisters．The researchers also found that loneliness spread more easily among women than men．
The New York Times newspaper reports that，on average，people experience feelings of loneliness about 48days a year．It also finds that every additional friend can decrease loneliness by about five percent，or two and a half fewer lonely days．
Loneliness has been assumed to be linked to health problems like depression and sleeping difficulties．The researchers believe that knowing the causes of loneliness could help in reducing it．
The study suggests that people can take steps to stop the spread of loneliness．They can do this by helping individuals they know who may be experiencing loneliness．The result can be helpful to the whole social group．
（Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS．）

12．The inhabitants of the earth are divided not only by race，nation，religion or ideology，but also，in a sense，by their position in time．Examining the present population of the globe，we find a tiny group who still live，hunting and food-foraging（觅食），as men did millions of years ago．Others，the vast majority of mankind，depend not on bear-hunting or berry-picking，but on agriculture．They live，in many respects，as their ancestors did centuries ago．These two groups taken together compose perhaps 70percent of all living human beings．They are the people of the past．
By contrast，somewhat more than 25percent of the earth‘s population can be found in the industrialized societies．They lead modern lives．They are products of the first half of the twentieth century，molded by mechanization and mass education，brought up with lingering memories of their own country‘s agricultural past．They are，in effect，the people of the present．
The remaining 2or 3percent of the world‘s population，however，are no longer people of either the past or the present．For within the main centers of technological and cultural change，in Santa Monica，California and Cambridge，Massachusetts，in New York and London，and Tokyo，are millions of men and women who can already be said to be living in the way of life of the future．Trend-makers often without being aware of it，they live today as millions will live tomorrow．And while they account for only a few percent of the global population today，they already form an international nation of the future in our midst．They are the advanced agents of man，the earliest citizens of the world-wide super-industrial society now in the coming of birth．
What makes them different from the rest of mankind？Certainly，they are richer，better educated，more mobile than the majority of the human race．They also live longer．But what specifically marks the people of the future is the fact that they are already caught up in a new，stepped-up pace of life．They-live faster than the people around them．
62．The people of the present here refers to those whoC．
A．rely on their country‘s agricultural past
B．spend their time examining different races
C．have been shaped by industrialization and mass education

7．WASHINGTON-Patients with HIV，the virus that causes AIDS，often develop vitamin deficiencies（缺乏）．A new study has found that giving these patients a multivitamin with  a mineral supplement（补充） helps improve their immunity and slows the disease's progression．Sub-Saharan Africa has always been the center of the AIDS epidemic．In Botswana，despite aggressive prevention campaigns，one out of every four adults is infected with HIV．Professor Marianna Baum based her latest research there．Baum recruited almost 900newly infected adults who had not yet received the anti-AIDS drugs that target the virus．
These adults were then divided into groups that randomly received different combinations of vitamins B，C and E，the mineral selenium or a placebo（安慰剂）．
Most patients with HIV become deficient in these vitamins，which help boost immunity．Baum said she initially thought the multivitamins alone or selenium alone would be effective in strengthening the immune system，but found that to be incorrect．
"We were surprised to find that only the combination was effective，"said Baum．
Research shows that when people with HIV receive anti-retroviral drugs （抗逆转录病毒药物） shortly after infection，they can remain healthy and are less likely to pass the virus to their sex partners．For many countries，however，the cost of these anti-AIDS drugs is still prohibitive．Baum said the vitamin and mineral combination therapy should help low income countries better control the virus．
"A simple multivitamin supplementation with selenium provided early in HIV disease can actually slow the HIV disease progression and it is safe．It is low cost and it should be provided very early in HIV infection，"said Baum．
Baum said the supplements are not meant to replace anti-retroviral therapy，but can help those who cannot obtain the drugs．
Dr．Anthony Fauci，a world renowned expert on AIDS，disagrees．
"I haven't read the paper，but having taken care of HIV-infected individuals for three decades，I would doubt that vitamins are going to have a major effect on  suppressing the virus，"said Fauci．
Fauci said vitamin and mineral supplements may make a patient generally healthier，but the only thing that truly works to suppress HIV is anti-retroviral therapy．Baum's study was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association．
25．Where is the passage probably taken？B
A．A scientific report
B．A newspaper
C．A school textbook
D．Science fiction
26．What can we learn from professor Baum's study？D
A．It is vitamin deficiencies that may have caused people to develop AIDS．
B．More than one third of people in Botswana are diagnosed with HIV disease．
C．Professor Baum divided 900HIV patients randomly into several groups．
D．Only the combination of vitamins and the mineral selenium could slow AIDS's process．
27．Which of the statements is possibly supported by Dr．Anthony Fauci？C
A．The finding is great news for low income HIV patients．
B．Vitamins will have a great impact on stopping HIV．
C．Anti-retroviral treatment is effective to stop HIV．
D．Vitamins should be used early in HIV infection．
28．The underlined word"prohibitive"in paragraph 5is closest to"B"in meaning．
A．deadly
B．costly
C．decreasing
D．forbidden．
