Our thoughts, words, and actions often cause harm to others and to us. Without reconciliation (和解), we cannot deepen our understanding and only cause more suffering. "Beginning Anew" is a(n)   1  of reconciliation. It involves three steps —— sharing appreciation, expressing   2  , and expressing hurt and difficulties.
In the first step, we share appreciation. We acknowledge the   3  qualities of the other person. The second step——expressing regret, is to  4 with the other person our regrets for the things we have done or said that might have caused him or her  5 . This requires humility (谦逊), and the   6  to let go of our own pride. In the third step, we express our own hurt with mindful and loving   7  without blaming or criticizing. We speak in such a way that the other person can listen and   8 our words. If we blame the other person, his heart will   9   and he will not be able to hear us. We ask the other person to help us to understand why he has spoken and acted as he has, causing us so much pain. Perhaps, later, he can share his feelings so that we can understand him more deeply. If a strong   10  arises in us while we are expressing our suffering, we should simply   11  and come back to our breathing until the emotion becomes   12 . The other person can   13  us by following his breathing until we are ready to continue. We can enjoy practicing "Beginning Anew" with our partner, our family, or our friends   14 . By doing this, we will   15  misunderstandings from accumulating. Rather, we will take care of them as they arise, as we take care of our children.

America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon. They don ’t feel hurt. If the same two people meet again, even years later, they pick up the friendship .This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand .Friendships between us develop more slowly but may become lifelong feelings, extending(延伸)deeply into both families.
There is another difficult point for us to understand . Although Americans treat friends warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to them if it requires a great deal of time. But in China ,we are usually generous with our time. We, as hosts, will appear at an airport even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off from our work to act as guides to our friends .It is opposite in America , Americans can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily plans. They will probably expect the visitors to get themselves from the airport to the hotels. And they expect the visitors will phone them from there. Once the visitors arrive at their homes , the welcome will be full , warm and real. For Americans , it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to restaurants, except for business matters.

Dr Asim Syed, 32, has performed more than 100 operations at London’s Hammersmith Hospital in the country’s busiest transplant unit, but never imagined that he would one day become a donor himself.
He stepped forward when was told his 64-year-old mother might be dead within months unless she got a new kidney (肾). The worried surgeon brought her to London to be cared for at his hospital. However, it was not all plain sailing. Tests showed Dr Syed was the wrong blood group, so the only way was to go through a special blood-washing process. He consulted colleagues about that, but they didn’t agree, because the risk of rejection is still too high. Dr Syed and his mother were then advised to consider a new way of donating and receiving, called an organ-paired. That is, Dr Syed donated his kidney to an unknown person and another donor in the chain was a successful match for his mother. The chain of three transplants took place at the same time on July 31 with Dr Syed’s kidney going to a recipient in the Midlands and Mrs. Syed receiving her kidney from a person in the south of England.
Just hours after donating his own kidney, Dr Syed found himself recovering in bed next to his mother. Mrs Syed said, “When I came round from my operation Asim was in the next bed and the first thing he said was, ‘Mum now all your worries are over.’ Tears fell down.”
Now mother and son are recovering well with Dr Syed already back at work. Mrs. Syed is staying with him for several months while the hospital monitors her progress.
He said, “I did what anyone would do when they see a relative suffering disease. Although I wasn’t able to help mum directly, by agreeing to be part of a chain, I was also very happy.”
【小题1】 Why isn’t it a plain sailing?
A.No one can treat his mother well.
B.Dr Syed was the wrong blood group.
C.They didn’t have money to be in hospital.
D.Mrs. Syed was unwilling to receive the operation.
【小题2】Why didn’t his colleagues agree to the method of blood-washing?
A.It is very dangerous.B.It costs too much.
C.They didn’t know how to do it at all. D.They didn’t have the relative equipment.
【小题3】 What can we learn about Mrs. Syed?
A.She was touched by his son’s deed.
B.She has already recovered completely.
C.After operation, she went her own home.
D.She was in hospital in London for many years.
【小题4】What can be inferred from the text?
A.The hospital still needs improving.

C.The expense in the hospital is too high to afford.

US college students are burdened, with credit card (信用卡)debt, according to a study published Tuesday, and the problem can be serious-ranging from more drop-outs, to future employment problems and even self-murder. The study, by Georgetown University sociologist (社会学家) Robert Manning, blamed credit card issuers for actively targeting students and colleges for allowing them to do so. "The unrestricted selling of credit cards in universities or colleges is so aggressive that it now forms a greater threat than alcohol or sexual diseases," Manning told a news conference in Washington. "If we do not quickly deal with this serious problem, the matter will continue to get worse, with social consequences far more tragic (悲剧的) than mere dollars and cents. "
Based on hundreds of face-to-face interviews and surveys with students, Manning concluded both the number with credit card debt and their indebtedness had been "underreported" in previous studies-which failed to reflect the "survival strategies" many used to deal with their debts. These included the use of federal student loans to pay off credit cards, effectively shifting the debt, appealing to parents for loans, reducing course work hours to increase time at paid jobs, or even dropping out altogether to work full time.
"Official drop-out rates include growing numbers of students who are unable to cope with the stress of their debts and / or part time jobs for servicing their credit cards, " the study said. "Students credit card debts are examined during the employment process and may be an important factor in evaluating future employees," it noted. O’Donnell and Manning agreed students should bear some responsibility for reckless use of credit, but said credit card companies also had to be held responsible for making it so easy for them to get into debt. Manning said one of the most troublesome aspects of the student credit card issue was "the seduction (诱惑) of college and university officials by the credit card industry".
【小题1】Sociologist Robert Manning's study shows that     .
A.the number of American college students using credit cards on campus is increasing
B.more and more American college students meet with credit card debt problems
C.more and more American colleges encourage students to use credit cards to make profits
D.credit card issuers will run into debt for encouraging college students to use credit cards
【小题2】The author's feeling towards college students with credit card debts is __.
A.discouraged and negativeB.pitiful and critical
C.indifferent and disapprovingD.negative and doubtful
【小题3】The author implies all of following should be responsible for this problem EXCEPT      .
A.credit card issuers B.college authorities
C.parents of the studentsD.students themselves
【小题4】The word "reckless" in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by        .
A.inconsiderateB.frequent C.carefulD.regular
