But forgiveness is possible and it can be surprisingly helpful to your physical and mental health. Indeed, research has shown that people who forgive report more energy, better appetite and better sleep patterns. “People who forgive show less anger and more hopefulness,” says Dr. Frederic Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good “So it can help save on the wear and tear on our system and allow people to feel more energetic.”So when someone has hurt you, calm yourself first. Take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love. Dont wait for an apology. “Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing,” says Dr. Luskin. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just dont see things the same way. So if you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting a very long time.” Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean accepting the action of the person who upset you. Mentally going over your hurt gives power to the person who brought you pain. Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. Finally, try to see things from the other persons perspective(视角). You may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance, fear even love. To gain perspective, you may want to write a letter to yourself from that persons point of view,65. The text is mainly written to explain _.A. how to keep yourself from being hurtB. how to stay mentally healthyC. how and when to remain calmD. why and how to pardon others66. According to the writer, what is the right way to calm down after being hurt?A. Try to figure out why you get hurt.B. Write a letter to the person who hurt you.C. Persuade yourself to accept what others have done to you.D. Think about pleasant things and forget about the hurt.67. Dr. Luskin advises us not to wait for an apology after being hurt because _.A. we are not patient enough B. wed feel worse accepting others apologyC. people never want to apologizeD. people dont mean it when they apologizeBWe Are Now Open Daily Through Columbus DayThe museum and store are open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. throughout the season.

No school I have taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it unimportant as a basic skill. There are, however, vastly different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority (优先，重点) it must be given over general language development and writing without holding him back with the complexities of spelling.If spelling becomes the only key point of his teachers interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to “play safe”. He will tend to write only words within his spelling range, choosing not to use adventurous language. Thats why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than spelling ability only.I was once shocked to read a teachers comment on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing: “This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling mistakes!” It may have been a sharp criticism of the pupils spelling ability in writing, but it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had failed to read the composition which contained some beautiful expressions of the childs deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the mistakes, but if his priorities had centered on the childs ideas, an expression of his appreciation would have given the pupil more encouragement to seek improvement.72. The underlined expression “play safe” in paragraph two probably means _.A. to write carefully B. to do as teachers sayC. to use dictionaries frequentlyD. not to write words one is not sure of73. Teachers encourage the use of dictionaries so that _.A. they may spend more time teaching writing techniquesB. they may have less trouble in correcting mistakesC. students will have more confidence in writingD. students will learn to be independent of teachers74. The writer seems to think that the teachers judgment on that sensitive piece of writing is _.A. reasonableB. unfairC. foolishD. careless75. Teachers are different in their opinions about _.A. the necessity of teaching spellingB. the role of spelling in general language developmentC. the way of teaching spellingD. the importance of the basic grammarDA study published in September suggests there is a surpri
