Words can hurt

I remember the pain most vividly. My stomach was sick, my heart hurt, and my eyes stung(刺痛的) from holding back tears.

“you know, Autumn,” my friend Nick said, “Lisa and Andrea were just talking about you.” I immediately got nervous. “They said that the only reason you start on the basketball team is because the coach （教練）likes you .It’s not because you’re good.” I might be sick. “They said they’re tired of you always getting what you want.”

I struggled to keep myself from crying, sinking（下沉） to my knees on the cold floor. After Nick told me everything my supposed best friends said about me, I was hurt.

Lisa and Andrea came in from lunch break acting as if nothing had happened . Lisa was still my deskmate, and Andrea was still my partner for our history project.

I was amazed at their ability to pretend we had the perfect friendship, especially since they’d said such hurtful things.

I was a freshman in high school, and I felt like I didn’t have a friend in the world, all because of a rumor（謠言）.

The tongue can be our worst enemy. Rumors harm confidence（信心） and separate close friends. They are like sharp knives, cutting one’s dignity（尊嚴） into pieces. When we say unkind things about others, we’re thrusting(插) knives into their hearts.

So how was I to act next? When Lisa and Andrea pretended our friendship hadn’t changed, I thought of attacking them back. But instead, I told them directly that they had hurt me. Lisa started crying and Andrea was speechless. I know they were both sorry for what they had said. They apologized, and I forgave them with grace(優(yōu)雅). Sure, things were a little awkward(尷尬) at first, but soon enough everything was back to the way it had been before.

I still deal with gossip（流言）, sometimes as a recipient（接受者） and sometimes as a participant（參與者）. But the more I learn about love, the more I realize the importance of encouraging others- sometimes gossip never does.

【解析】

試題分析：本文主要告訴我們的就是如何面對人生中經常出現的謠言。

1.Strongly. / Powerfully.

推理題。根據I remember the pain most vividly.說明我很清楚第記得這個痛苦。故該詞是指strongly或者powerfully。

2.She knew the rumor from her friends.

根據第二段“They said that the only reason you start on the basketball team is because the coach （教練）likes you .It’s not because you’re good.”說明我知道了他們在背后說我的壞話。這是我難過的主要原因。

3.I told them directly that they had hurt me.

根據倒數第二段But instead, I told them directly that they had hurt me.我直接把這樣的傳言告訴了他們，和“I frankly told them that their rumor had made me painful.”語義相近。

4. They apologized/said sorry to me(shamefully/with a shame).

細節(jié)題。根據倒數第二段第五行They apologized。說明他們向我道歉了。

5.She is frank, brave and generous/ kind.

推理題。作者直接把謠言告訴了他們說明他很坦率，也很勇敢，最后她原諒了他們，也說明他很善良。
