Hating someone hurts one’s own health since it causes anger within, and this anger can harm one’s health if it builds too high. Health is wealth, and forgiveness (原谅) is the way to go. Forgiving someone will help to make you feel better and solve the problems about relationships. The following steps may help you:

Recognize the way. Many a time, we don’t know why we hate someone and continue to walk on a road that troubles one’s mental and physical health and happiness. We should be able to recognize the way first that you treat him / her when we come across a certain human being. Once we are able to recognize the way, we can then move on to the next step.

Find the cause. We should try to search within ourselves about what and how that person has hurt us, and why we hate them. Finding a cause helps us to bring closure within ourselves, and we can open up to discussion within ourselves, and even with the person whom we hate.

Face that person. Coming face-to-face with the person whom one hates is a challenge, but facing him / her will lead to peace of mind and a sound sleep at night. Brave up and face that person.

Start a conversation. Once in the presence of the person who is hated, start a conversation and communicate about what bothers you. Being frank about what and how that person’s behavior makes oneself angry will help both discuss problems, and will finally lead to clarification.

Say sorry to him/ her. Apologizing to the disliked person can do wonders for one’s physical and mental being, bringing happiness and satisfaction. Keeping one’s egos (自负) aside and expressing regret are the keys to forgiveness.

Once you forgive a person, be patient and kind to yourself. Express your pain and worries, and do not keep it bottled up. Thanks for the goodness of people around you, and imagine a new life with energy each day. This will help to shape each day free of pain.

阅读下面的四篇短文,根据短文内容,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选择最佳选项。

Food is a major part of every culture. After all, everyone needs to eat! But each country has its own traditions on what people eat and when.

Egypt

Egyptians commonly start the day with a drink, sometimes going with bread. Breakfast can be eaten any time after this but before the day’s main meal. In the past, this main meal was served at around 3:00 p.m. But now people work longer hours and eat when they get home at around 6:00 p.m. Dinner parties are held later, around 9:00 p.m.

Most Egyptian meals include bread or ice, cooked vegetables and beans or meat.

France

France is known for its fine cooking, and its people take food seriously. Most eat three meals a day at fixed times and never snack between meals. Breakfast is a light meal of bread and coffee. They eat lunch at around 1:00 p.m. and a dinner with multiple courses after 8:00 p.m.

The French consider eating a social activity. Eating alone is hard to see, and eating while doing something else is unheard-of. The French take time to enjoy their meals and visitors should do the same.

Brazil

Like the French, Brazilians usually eat a light breakfast. Lunch, the largest meal of the day, usually consists of meat, rice, potatoes, beans and vegetables. Between 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m., people enjoy a smaller meal with their families.

Brazilians don’t mind eating a hurried or light meal and sometimes buy food from street carts (手推车). But they always finish eating before walking away.

The United States

American’s ancestors came from many countries, so American eating habits differ. Some take time to prepare and eat a hot breakfast. Others take a bagel (面包圈) while rushing out the door or just skip breakfast. For lunch, most Americans eat a sandwich or leftovers. Traditionally, families got together for a large evening meal around 6:00, but now busy schedules force many families to eat in turns. American restaurant servings tend to be huge. But you don’t have to finish them; taking leftovers home is common.
