Last Friday, Linda and her husband heard loud noises at their windows. Although the fear of gunshots appeared her thoughts, Linda tried to look into. When I managed to sneak in a look, I saw a mixture of eggs, oranges, and such coming at our windows.”

Bravely, Linda decided to face her “enemies”. She always believed that “all strangers are my relatives”, she went outside to see “three cute kids”. Rather than shout at them, Linda tried to connect, “Hey guys, thank you for the oranges. Can I have them so they don’t go to waste?” But the kids started to run. Linda walked after them and said, “Wait! Wait! Don’t be afraid! I am not going to do anything. I just want to talk. And I can use your oranges.” The kids ran off without looking back.

Linda felt a “sense of motherly connection” after thinking for a while, and she explained “More than forgiveness, it was more like a simple care.”

When Linda ran outside to meet the “dangerous enemy”, it turned out to be a group of 10 and 11 year old children. It helps to see all our enemies as children because they once were children (which is why they often act childishly).It is much easier to see children as basically good or acting out in ways that they “know not what they are doing”.

People don’t willingly choose to be cruel, mean, or hateful. They experience things in their lives--often when they are very young--which make them take on the defenses of anger, and scorn Seeing my enemies as child makes me think of the saying, “all attacks are a cry for help”.

Forgiveness can lead to understanding. Understanding plants the seeds for love. We can raise a whole generation of children who have the ability to stand for what all the great wise men have taught us: Love the enemy.

科目：初中英語 來源：人教版八年級上英語同步練習(xí)2Unit 2 How often do you exercise單元測試卷 題型：閱讀理解

Everyone must go to bed early and get up early, or we won’t be healthy and clever.

Is this true? Perhaps it is. The body must have enough sleep. The students aged 8—18 need ten hours’ sleep every day. If you don^ go to bed early, you won’t have enough sleep. Then you can’t think properly and do your work properly. You’ll not be clever.

Some people go to bed late and get up late. This is not good for them. We must sleep at night when it is dark. The dark helps us to sleep soundly. When the daytime comes, we must get up. This is the time for exercise. If you lack exercise, the body will become weak. Exercise keeps a strong body.

Exercise helps the blood (血液）flow(流動）around inside the body. This is very important. Blood takes food to all parts of our bodies. The brain also needs blood. We think with our brains. If we keep our body healthy and take exercise, we can think better.

Happiness is for everyone. You don't need to care about those who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and lots of money and so on. Why? .Because those who have big house may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.

In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too.All these are your happiness. If you notice them, you can see that happiness is always around you.

Happiness is not the same as money.It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can't be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like arevolvingdoor. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.
