When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible and it can be surprisingly  36  to your physical and  37   health.
"People who forgive  38  less depression, anger and stress and more hopefulness," says Frederic Luskin, Ph.D.,  39  of Forgive for Good. "So it can help  40  on the .wear and tear on our organs, reduce the wearing out of the immune system and  41  people to feel more vital."
So how do you start the forgiveness? Try  42  these steps:
Calm yourself. To defuse (緩解) your  43  and try a simple stress-management technique.
"Take a couple of breaths and think of  44  that gives you pleasure: a  45  scene in nature, someone you love," Luskin says.
Don’t  46  an apology. "Many times the person who hurt you has no  47  of apologizing," Luskin says. "They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same  48  . So if you wait for people to apologize ,you could be waiting a(n)  49  long time. "Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean  50  to the person who upsets you.
Take the control away from your offender. Mentally replaying your  51  gives power to the person who caused you pain. " 52  of focusing on your hurt feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness  53  you," Luskin says.
Try to see things from the other person’s perspective (立場；視角). If you empathize (有同感) with that person, you may  54  that he or she was acting out of ignorance, fear even love.
Recognize the benefits of forgiveness. Research has shown that people who forgive report more energy, better  55  and better sleep patterns. Don’t forget to forgive yourself. "For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge," Luskin says.
"But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don’t do it. "

From a very early age, some children show better self-control than others. Now, a new study that began with about 1,000 children in New Zealand has tracked how a child’s low self-control can predict poor health, money troubles and even a criminal record in their adult years.
Researchers have been studying this group of children for decades now. They observed the level of self-control the youngsters displayed. Parents, teachers, even the kids themselves, scored the youngsters on measures like “acting before thinking” and “Persistence in reaching goals.”
The study led  by Moffitt of Duke University and colleagues followed 1,000 children from birth to age 32 in Dunedin, New Zealand.
“The children who had the lowest self-control when they were age three to ten, later on had the most health problems in their 30s,” Moffitt said，“and they had the worst financial situation. They were more likely to have a criminal record and to be raising a child as a single parent on a very low income.” Moffitt explained that self-control problems were widely observed, and weren’t just a feature of a small group of misbehaving kids.
Moffitt said it’s still unclear why some children have better self-control than others, though she said other researchers have found that it’s mostly a learned behavior, with relatively little genetic influence. But good self-control can be set to run in families because children with good self-control are more likely to grow up to be healthy and prosperous parents. But the good news, Moffitt said, is that self-control can be taught by parents, and through school curricula that have been shown to be effective.
小題1:From the first two paragraphs we learn that                      .
A．the research has been carried out for five years
B．self-control in kids tends to determine their future
C．self-control was assessed by children’s intelligence
D．children’s self-control is almost the same at early age
小題2:Children with low self-control are more likely to                        .
A．become wealthy in later lifeB．get good school performance
C．have better financial planningD．a(chǎn)dopt negative behaviors
小題3:According to Moffitt，                       .
A．only good genetic factors can shape their lives in the future
B．scientists know well why some children have better self-control
C．self-control in childhood has nothing to do with criminal activity
D．willpower as a child really influences people’s chances of adulthood
小題4:What can be inferred from the passage?
A．Self-control cannot be taught in schools.
B．The study is restricted within few participants.
C．It’s never too late to deal with self-control problems.
D．Good parenting can improve self-control and life success.
小題5:Which of the following might be the best title of the  passage？
A．Child’s self-control predicts future health and success
B．Kids are encouraged to take risks at an early age
C．Children’s development cannot be changed by teachers

We were standing at the top of a church tower. My father had brought me to this spot in a small town not far from our home in Rome. I wondered why.
“Look down, Elsa,” father said. I gathered all my courage and looked down. I saw the square in the center of the village. And I saw the crisscross (十字形) of twisting, turning streets leading to the square. “See, my dear,” father said gently. “There is more than one way to the square. Life is like that. If you can’t get to the place where you want to go by one road, try another.”
Now I understood why I was there. Earlier that day I had begged my mother to do something about the awful lunches that were served at school. But she refused because she could not believe the lunches were as bad as I said.
When I turned to father for help, he didn’t say anything. Instead, he brought me to this high tower to give me a lesson. By the time we reached home, I had a plan.
At school the next day, I secretly poured my luncheon（午餐）soup into a bottle and brought it home. Then I asked our cook to serve it to mother at dinner. The plan worked perfectly. She swallowed one spoonful and sputtered（噴濺出）“ The cook must have gone mad！” Quickly I told her what I had done, and Mother stated firmly that she would take up the matter of lunches at school the next day!
In the years that followed I often remembered the lesson father taught me. I began to work as a fashion designer two years ago. I wouldn’t stop working until I tried every possible means to my goal. Father’s wise words always remind me that there is more than one way to the square.
小題1:The author’s father took her to the top of a church tower to ____________.
A. enjoy the beautiful scenery of the whole town
B. find out how many ways lead to the square

小題2:What did the author want her mother to do earlier that day?.
A. Do something delicious for lunch. 
B. Taste her awful lunch.
C. Dismiss the mad cook.　
D. Speak to the school about lunch.
小題3:The underlined sentence in the fifth paragraph suggests that__________________.
A. the cook agreed to serve the soup to the writer’s mother.
B. the author’s mother was angry with the cook.
C. her father persuaded her mother successfully.
D. the method the author thought of was effective.
小題4:What did the author’s mother think of her luncheon soup after she tasted it?
A. It was delicious.   
B. It wasn’t so bad as the author said.
C. It is terrible..
D. It was as good as her cook did.
小題5:By sharing her own experiences, the author tries to tell us ____________.

Phys ed (physical education) is making a comeback as a part of the school core curriculum(核心課程)，but with a difference. While group sports are still part of the curriculum, the new way is to teach skills that are useful beyond gym class. Instead of learning how to climb a rope, children are taught to lift weights, balance their diets and build physical endurance(忍耐力). In this way，kids are given the tools and skills and experiences so they can lead a physically active life for the rest of their life.
Considering that 15 percent of American children aged 6 to 18 are overweight, supporters say more money and thought must be put into phys ed curriculum. In many cases, that may mean not just replacing the old gym-class model with fitness programs but also starting up phys ed programs because school boards often "put P.E. on the chopping block (砧板), cutting it entirely or decreasing its teachers or the days it is offered," says Alicia Moag-Stahlberg, the executive director of Action for Health Kids. The difference in phys ed programs is partly due to the lack of a national standard. "Physical education needs to be part of the core curriculum," she added.
The wisdom of the new approach has some scientific support. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin have showed how effective the fit-for-life model of gym class can be. They observed how 50 overweight children lost more weight when they cycled and skied cross-country (越野)than when they played sports. The researchers also found that teaching sports like football resulted in less overall movement, partly because some reluctant（不情愿的）students were able to sit on the bench.
Another problem with simply teaching group sports in gym class is that only a small percentage of students continue playing them after graduating from high school. The new method teaches skills that translate to adulthood.
小題1:According to the passage, what is usually taught in the old gym class?
A．Lift weights B．Climb a rope C．CycleD．Have a balanced diet
小題2:What does Alicia Moag-Stahlberg mean by saying “some school boards put P. E. on the chopping block”?
A．Schools do not pay enough attention to P. E..
B．Schools welcome P. E. but do not have time for it.
C．Schools put P.E. in the first place.
D．Schools cut down other subjects’ time for P. E..
小題3:Which is NOT the reason to carry out phys ed programs according to the passage?
A．More teenagers are overweight.
B．Traditional group sports teaching is not effective.
C．Students need to learn some skills to help them lead a physically active life.
D．Phys ed programs need less money to support.
小題4:How many problems are mentioned in the passage with simply teaching group sports?
A．TwoB．Three C．FourD．One
小題5:What’s the difference between the come-back phys ed and the ordinary gym-class model?
A．The Phys ed teaches group sports.
B．The Phys ed provides more fitness programs.
C．The Phys ed teaches tools and skills which could be used in the future life.
D．The Phys ed has more support from the government.

Water problems in the future will become more intense and more complex. Our increasing population will tremendously increase urban wastes, primarily sewage. On the other hand, increasing demands for water will decrease substantially the amount of water available for diluting wastes. Rapidly expanding industries which involve more and more complex chemical processes will produce larger volumes of liquid wastes, and many of these will contain chemicals which are noxious. To feed our rapidly expanding population, agriculture will have to be intensified. This will involve ever - increasing quantities of agricultural chemicals. From this, it is apparent that drastic steps must be taken immediately to develop corrective measures for the pollution problem.
There are two ways by which this pollution problem can be dwindled(減少). The first relates to the treatment of wastes to decrease their pollution hazard . This involves the processing of solid wastes "prior to" disposal and the treatment of liquid wastes, or effluents, to permit the reuse of the water or minimize pollution upon final disposal .
A second approach is to develop an economic use for all or a part of the wastes. Farm manure is spread in fields as a nutrient or organic supplement. Effluents from sewage disposal plants are used in some areas both for irrigation and for the nutrients contained. Effluents from other processing plants may also be used as a supplemental source of water. Many industries, such as meat and poultry processing plants, are currently converting former waste products into marketable byproducts. Other industries are potential economic uses for waste products.
小題1:The purpose of this passage is ________.
A．to alert the reader to the dwindling water supply
B．to explain industrial uses of water
C．to acquaint the reader with water pollution problems
D．to demonstrate various measures to solve the pollution problem
小題2:Which of the following points is NOT included in the passage?
A．Industrial development includes the simplification of complex chemical processes.
B．Diluting wastes needs certain amount of water.
C．Demands for water will go up along with the expanding population .
D．Intensive cultivation of land require more and more chemicals.
小題3:The reader can conclude that _________.
A．countries of the world will work together on pollution problems
B．byproducts from wastes lead to a more prosperous marketplace
C．science is making great progress in increasing water supplies
D．some industries are now making economic use of wastes
小題4:The author gives substance to the passage through the use of________.
A．interviews with authorities in the field of water controls
B．opinions and personal observations
C．definitions which clarify important terms
D．strong arguments and persuasions
小題5:The underlined words "prior to"(para. 2)probably man________.
A．a(chǎn)fterB．duringC．beforeD．beyond

A well-known manufacturer of weighing machines produced a new model.
The machine had a computer inside it, and this computer could do wonderful things: it could weigh people very accurately; it could tell them their weight in their own language; and it could tell them what they should eat to reduce their weight.
The manufacturer decided to try out his machine before he sold it to the shops.
He looked around for a good place to put it and finally decided on an airport. There were always people at an airport from many different countries.
The first person to use the machine was an Italian woman. She stood on the machine, put a coin in and waited to hear her weight.
The machine took only a second or two to weigh her, decide on her nationality and the language she spoke, and figure out what kind of food she should eat.
“Good morning, madam,” it said in perfect Italian. “Your weight is 72 kilos, three more than it should be for a woman of your height, age and nationality. This is because you have been eating too much spaghetti. I suggest you eat more fruit and vegetables. Please have a nice day”.
The second person to use the machine was a Chinese girl. She stood on the machine, put a coin in and waited to hear her weight.
“Good morning, Miss," the machine said in perfect Chinese. "Your weight is 38 kilos, exactly the correct weight for your height, age and nationality. Continue to eat what you are eating. Please have a nice day.”
The third person to use the machine was a huge Australian woman. She walked up to the machine and looked at it for a long time. At last she found the courage to stand on the machine and put a coin in. The machine spoke immediately. “Good morning. Will one of you ladies please get off?”
小題1: What could the computer do?
A．Weigh and talk to people. B．Translate information.
C．Give them diet pills.D．Make them lose weight.
小題2: What did the machine say to the Italian woman?
A．She was a little too light.B．She was a little too heavy.
C．She disliked spaghetti.D．She couldn’t speak Italian.
小題3:What did the machine say to the Chinese woman?
A．She should eat more.B．She could speak Chinese.
C．She would have a nice day.D．She was fine.
小題4:What did the machine suggest about the Australian woman?
A．She was unwell.B．She was courageous.
C．She was too heavy.D．She had dieted well.

Researchers are placing robotic dogs（機器狗）in the homes of lonely old people to determine whether they can improve the quality of life for humans. Alan Beck, an expert in human-animal relationship, and Nancy Edwards, a professor of nursing, are leading the animal-assisted study concerning the influence of robotic dogs on old people’s depression, physical activity, and life satisfaction. “No one will argue that an older person is better off being more active, challenged, or stimulated（應(yīng)急的） ,”Edwards points out. “The problem is how we promote that, especially for those without friends or help. A robotic dog could be a solution.”
In the study, the robot, called AIBO, is placed for six weeks in the houses of some old people who live alone. Before placing AIBO in the home, researchers will collect baseline data for six weeks. These old people will keep a diary to note their feelings and activity before and after AIBO. Then, the researchers will review the data to determine if it has inspired any changes in the life of its owner.
“I talk to him all the time, and he responds to my voice,” says a seventy-year-old lady, “When I’m watching TV, he’ll stay in my arms until he wants down. He has a mind of his own.”
The AIBOs respond to certain orders. The researchers say they have some advantages over live dogs, especially for old people. Often the elderly are disabled(行動不便的) and cannot care for an animal by walking it or playing with it. A robotic dog removes（免除） exercise and feeding concerns.
“At the beginning, it was believed that no one would relate to the robotic dog, because it was metal and not furry.” Beck says，“But it’s amazing how quickly we have given up that belief.”
“Hopefully, down the road, these robotic pets could become a more-valuable health helper. They will record their masters’ blood pressure, oxygen levels, or heart rhythms. AIBOs may even one day have games that can help stimulate older people’s minds.”
小題1: The purpose of Beck and Edwards’ study is to        .
A．understand human-animal relationship
B．find the causes of old people’s loneliness
C．make lonely old people’s life better
D．promote the animal-assisted research
小題2:In the research, the old people are asked to        .
A．note the activities of AIBOsB．record their feelings and activity
C．keep AIBOs at home for 12 weeksD．a(chǎn)nalyze the collected information
小題3:What is the advantage of AIBO over live dogs?
A．It is easier to keep at home.B．It responds to all the human orders.
C．It can help the disabled people.D．It can watch TV with its owner.
