To forgive is a virtue, but no one has 
ever said it is easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research.
__________ Try the following steps:
Calm yourself. _________ You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.
Don’t wait for an apology. Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. ________ Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.
Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者). Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who causes you pain. Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you.
_________ If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love. You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender’s point of view.
Don’t forget to forgive yourself. ________ But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don’t do it.
| A．Why should you forgive? |
| B．How should you start to forgive? |

下面文章节选自一本英语畅销书，具体描述了5个令人愉快的场景（第1-5题）。请从选项（A、B、C、D、E和F）中选出与各场景相匹配的简要场景说明，并在答题纸上将相应选项的标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。
A. When you arrive at your destination just as a great song ends on the radio

C. When you’re watching one of your favorite movies and you realize you don’t remember how it ends
D. The moment at a concert after the lights go out and before the band comes on stage
E. Catching somebody singing in their car and sharing a laugh with them
F. Remembering what movie that guy is from_______________________
You go early, grab a drink, you buy a T-shirt, you find your seat or you edge up to the stage, you listen to the opening act, you people watch, you talk to your friends, you guess what songs they might play, and then the moment finally arrives: The background music fades (逐渐变弱) down, all the lights suddenly go out, and there’s total blackness.
You feel a massive wave of expectation sweep across the crowd, people stand up, raise their arms and scream, and everyone clamors for that first view of the band walking on stage.
AWESOME!_______________________
There’s really nothing like pulling up in the driveway and shutting off the engine just as that final drum beats or that sad guitar solo (独奏) slowly fades into perfect silence. If you time it just right, you’ll miss the start of the commercials, and you’ll be rewarded with the song replaying itself in your head all day.
AWESOME!_______________________
You know the feeling.
Your favorite characters are introduced, the story kicks off, a couple plot twists and turns seem a bit unfamiliar, and it suddenly dawns on you: You can’t remember who the killer is, who dies, or if the cats ever get married. You can’t remember the story at all, and you’re loving every minute of it.
So you dim the lights, settle yourself under the blankets, and stay glued to the screen.
Because it’s like, hey, guaranteed blockbuster.
AWESOME!________________________
Exactly in the middle of the movie’s big scene it always happens.
Everything gets tense for the courtroom finale or championship football game, and then all of a sudden the lawyer or opposing coach turns out to be that guy from some other movie and you just can’t stop thinking about where he’s from.
Wait, was he the prison guard in The Silent Lamb? The lawyer from Miracle on 34th Street? Or, no, no, no, I got it. He’s the knife guy from Once Upon a Time in Mexico.
AWESOME!_______________________________
It’s late, quiet, and you’re stuck at a red light.
And there’s just something worth smiling about when you observe that passionate display of pure private pleasure only a few feet away. Suddenly you’re the producer in the booth watching your struggling artist hit the high notes in their tight sound room on wheels. Yes, they’ve tried for years to get clean and make it off the streets, but now you’re finally smelling a hit …
So maybe you dance along for a few beats, catch the same on your radio, or lock eyes with them for a second and share a warm and heartfelt laugh. Maybe you feel a tiny stir in your heart as you connect with a total stranger for a few seconds. And maybe it makes you a tiny bit happier and maybe you smile a tiny bit more.
AWESOME!

Tips for a happier workplace
You don’t have to be friends with your co-workers, but you do need to be friendly. Read on for fresh ways to make your office a kinder, gentler place.
◆Give a happy “Hello!” in the morning.
Do you walk into the office, eyes down, and immediately start work? If so, you are likely to find that co-workers ignore you or avoid you. It’s really amazing how fast this small gesture can change unfriendly workplace relations.
◆Learn the art of small talk.
Ask your co-workers about their interests— their favorite music, movies, and books, as well as their hobbies. Once you know what catches their imagination, pick up stories from newspapers or magazines to help start conversations.
◆ Ask what they think.
People love to be asked for their opinion, so go out of your way to ask ,“What do you think of this report?” or “How do you think I should deal with this situation?”
◆Avoid gossip.So return the favor. When a co-worker walks towards you bearing a piece of gossip, respond with, “Really?” and then change the subject or get back to work. If you don’t respond, the gossiper will move on.
◆
To win friends at work, start with good office etiquette (礼节).There’s nothing more frustrating to busy co-workers than to have their emails and phone messages ignored. Your silence doesn’t just make their jobs harder, it also conveys an unpleasant message: You are unimportant to me.
| A．Stop complaining. |
| B．Return calls and emails immediately. |
| C．Then give the advice giver a silent thank-you. |
| D．Always work as hard as anyone working for you. |
E. You don’t want anyone talking about you behind your back, right?
F. Showing an interest in them will make them feel comfortable around you.
G. Get into the habit of greeting your co-workers with a smile as you arrive in the morning.
