We’ve all been hurt by another person at one time or another. This pain causes problems. It not only causes us to be unhappy, but can ruin relatioships, distract(使分心) us from work and family and other important things, make us unwilling to open up new things.
We need to learn to let go. We need to be able to forgive, so we can move on and be happy. Forgiveness does not mean you erase the past, or forget what has happened. All it means is that you are letting go of the anger and pain, and moving on to a better place.
It’s not easy, but you can learn to do it.
Think about the advantages and disadvanges. Think of all the problems this pain causes you, and realize you need to change. Then think of the benefits of forgiveness—— how it will make you happier, free you from the past and the pain, and improve your relationships and life in general.
Try to put yourself in that person’s situation. Try to understand why the person did what he did. What could he have felt as he did it, and what did he feel afterward? How does he feel now? You aren’t saying what he did is right, but are trying to understand instead.
Understand your responsibility. Try to figure out how you could have been partly responsible for what happened. This isn’t to say you’re taking all the blame, or taking responsibility away from the other person, but to realize that we are not victims but participants in life.
Allow peace to enter your life. As you focus on the present, try focusing on your breathing. Imagine each breath going out is the pain and the past, and imagine each breath coming in is peace, entering you and filling you up.
Title: How to let go and forgive

65. _____ caused by being hurt	Making us unhappy; distracting from daily life; Ruining relationships; making us close to new things.

It is not polite to arrive at a dinner party more than 15 to 20 minutes      1           . The host or hostess usually waits for all the guests to arrive before serving the meal. If someone is late, the food may be spoiled, and so might the host or hostess’s spirits. If you have to be late, call and tell them to start  2           you.
It’s even 3   (bad) to be early! The host or hostess will probably not be ready. If you are early, drive or walk around the block a few times, or just sit in your car  4  the right time.
Though it is often important to arrive on time, yet on the other hand, for open houses, the host or hostess invites guests to arrive and leave    5      a certain time. You can arrive at any time within the time he or she gives you.
It’s polite to bring an empty stomach, but it’s even nicer to bring a small present. The present should not cost a lot, or you might embarrass the host or hostess.      6     (flower), wine, or a box of candy will do fine. Never bring money as a present.
In an   7              (introduce), the order of a name is: (1) 、the given name；(2) 、the family name. In other words the given name comes first. It’s important not   8               to learn and remember names, but to respect them often in   9              (converse). After the introduction，we usually call friends   10           their given names. Older people may want you call them their titles and family names, such as “Mr. Jones”、 “Mrs. Johnson” or “Dr. Brown”.

I was always told that the three Ps, patience, positive thinking and perseverance（毅力），were a sure path  31              success. But this advice does not always work as planned. My high school maths exam is one example. The exam,    32             was originally to be held in our classroom,  33           (change) to the library at the last minute. This,  34           ，didn’t bother me because maths had always been my strongest subject. I patiently walked to the library, took my seat and did some deep breathing to help relax   35        ．But my mood quickly changed when I saw  36          first question. I had no idea how to do it. I tried to stay positive and persevered   37         I finally found the solution. With the problem 38         (solve), I felt proud of my achievement.  39       (fortunate), I then noticed that I had just 10 minutes left   40            (complete) the rest!

B) 非选择题：阅读下列材料，然后按要求完成所给出的题目。(Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions. Respond to the questions according to the passage.)
A
Billy: I am usually very hungry by 5:30 when school is over, so I go to the nearest food shop to buy some snacks. Then I go home and do my homework. Because the workload is very heavy, I need four or even five hours to finish it. On weekends, I usually go walking in the park. There is a small mountain in the park and I often do some climbing there. That's on Sunday, but on Saturday I have to spend the day at school.
Grace: I like walking, too. I prefer going to one of the islands on weekends. During the week, like Billy, I need to deal with my lessons. But on Tuesdays I always go swimming at the local indoor pool after school. After that, I meet some friends in TV games center in Star Club. We girls like playing games as much as the boys. I go to the Internet bar to chat with some net friends on Sunday evening. I find it fantastic.
Jenny: I never go to these centers or clubs. Nearly every day I go home on time. I never chat with strangers on the Internet. I never have time for sports. I seldom watch TV at home. The only two things I do at home are studying and sleeping. After a day's work, I always feel tired. One thing I almost forget is that on Sunday evening I go to a restaurant with my parents. In a word, my life is dull and uninteresting.
Questions 51—55：Please fill in the blanks with no more than five words in each blank.

We may look at the world around us, but somehow we manage not to see it         31        whatever we’ve become used to suddenly  32        (disappear). Take, for example, the neatly-dressed woman I used to see.
For three years, no matter 33         the weather was like, she was always waiting at the bus stop around 8:00 a.m. On 34  ________   (snow) days, she wore heavy clothes and a pair of 35    ____________   (wool) gloves. Of course I remember all 36  _______   only after she was seen no more .It was 37       that I realized how much 1 expected to see her each morning.
“Did she have an accident? Something  38     ______   ?” I thought to myself about her disappearance. Now that she was gone, I felt that I 39   __________   (know) her. I began to realize that part of our daily life probably includes such chance meetings       40  _________   familiar strangers: the milkman you see at dawn, and the twin brothers you see at the library. Such people are important markers in our lives. They add weight to our sense of place and belonging.

Would you please listen? It’s a complaint we’ve all heard (though perhaps not listened to). The price paid for not listening can be high: from making a mess of a task to broken relationships. “Frustrated, devalued, and disrespected—that’s how people feel when they’re ‘heard’ but not ‘listened to’,” says Jennie Grau, president of communications training and coaching firm Taliaferro Grau Associates. Yet focusing attention and understanding—the qualities that make physically hearing different from actually listening—can be hard to develop.
Learn to truly understand others, and you’ll improve your personal and professional skill sets alike. Business is all about relationships, and being a better listener helps you establish more positive relationships, says Rockhurst University communications professor Laura Janusik.
The first step is to limit anything that draws your attention away. Give up multi-tasking, and focus on what the speaker’s saying. If the moment simply doesn’t allow you to pay full attention, set up an alternative time when you will be able to concentrate.
Next, stop interrupting. Always want to jump in before the other person finishes speaking? Control yourself like this: Press your fingers firmly, count to five, and re-evaluate whether it’s time to talk. Be aware of the subjects or words that influence your emotions—both positive and negative—and calm down before responding.
Finally, listen between the lines. If you hear only the words without paying attention to the speaker’s tone of voice, facial expression, and body language, you risk missing hidden meanings or important signals. Confirm you’ve “gotten” the message. Transform what others said into a few words of your own.
And when it’s your turn to speak, know you’ve provided a model for how you hope your words will be received.
