The ability to forgive others is a great thing that can certainly help to make life happier for everyone. However, some people think that it is very     1     to do, and they don’t know how to forgive others, especially their family and friends. This is all because they don’t understand the meaning of “forgiveness”.
In the dictionary, “to forgive” means “to     2     feeling angry with somebody that has done something bad to you.” I’m happy that many people have     3     in doing this. I have succeeded, too, and I know how hard it is.
I lived with a friend for two years. During that time, he did cause me many     4    . I easily got angry when communicating with him. However, we     5    had a talk about our problems. When he pointed out (指出) that I wasn’t treating him like a friend, I was     6   . I never knew that I also needed to be forgiven for doing something wrong. I thought however     7     I might get, I did love my friend deep in my heart. Then I understood the saying, “To love is to forgive.” And when we     8    each other, we feel great. After that long talk, we both     9     those bad moments. Our friendship became fresh again. 
Now I understand the     10    of forgiveness better.

Many people go to school for education．They learn languages，history，geography, physics , chemistry and math．Others go to school to learn a skill__1___they can make a living. School education is very important and useful，but no one can learn _2____ from school. A teacher，no matter how much he knows，can’t teach his students everything they want to know. The teacher’s．job is to show his students how to read and  3 to think．So much more is to be learned out of school 4 students themselves.
It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to memorize some  5  or formulas(公式)．It is actually quite  6  to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in mathematics．But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a math problem. Great scientists such as Einstein，Newton and Galileo，didn’t learn many things from school, but they were all 7   and invented many things for mankind.
The  8 for their success is that they knew how to study．They read books that were not  9 at school . They worked hard all their lives 10 not a single minute . They would ask many questions as they read and they did thousands of experiments．

Have you ever asked yourself why children go to school? You will 36  they go to learn language, geography, history, science and all the other subjects．That is quite true．But  37  do they learn these things?
People send their children to school to plan for their future work and life．Nearly   38  they study at school has some practical（實踐的） use   39   their life, but is that the   40 reason they go to school?
There is    41  in education than just learning facts．We go to school above all to learn how to learn   42  when we have left school we can go on learning．If a man really knows how to learn, He will always be successful, because whenever he has to do something new, he will quickly teach himself how to do it in the best way．The uneducated person on the other hand, is    43 unable to do it, or does it badly．So the purpose （目的） of school is not just   44 languages, geography, science and so on, but to teach pupils the   45  to learn．

Every  38  gets its light either from daylight  39  the window or from the lamps,   40  no matter what kind of light it is, the way it shines is very important to the eyes.
Take a book and sit with your  41  towards the window, and try to read. Your shadow(影子) falls all over the page and makes it  4  for your eyes as if you were in a  43  room. Now turn around and face the window. The page is in shadow again,  44  the bright light is in your eyes.Try sitting with your  45  side towards the window. This is very good for reading, but if you were writing, the shadow  46  fall across the page and trouble you  47 .There is another way – sit  48  your left side to the window. Now everything is perfect for  49   as well.
Whatever kind of light is in the room, the rule about the right way to sit is  50  the same. So you see different ways to sit make much difference in writing or studying.

Most adults once studied at school, had classes and did their homework every day. The same 36  is going on at school now.    37  it seems that doing weekend home-work is    38  problem for the modern students.
All the students should agree that weekend homework should be canceled.  It's   39   for them to study at school five days a week.  They have a lot of interests. With homework to do on Saturday and Sunday, how can they find   40  to help around the house, go and see a football or basketball game or a good film, join in family recreations  (娛樂), or just have    41 _ at home? Because of these other activities, the homework can't be finished until   42 .  So their weekend homework is usually done in such a hurry that on Monday teachers are   43  and often threaten (威脅) to fail whole class of students because they know nothing about the   44 .  If there were no weekend homework for the students to do, they would be happy to go to school on Monday _ 45 _ having a good rest and to learn what the teachers teach.

Some students cheat(作弊) because they’re busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without   43  the time studying. Other students might feel that they can’t pass the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating, it isn’t a good   44 .
A student who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test   45  to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some better ways together. Talking about these problems and   46  them out will help feel better than cheating.
If a student gets   47  cheating, the teacher may give a “zero” on the test, send him or her to the head teacher’s office, and call his or her parents. Worse than the bad grade may be the feeling of having disappointed those people,   48  parents and teachers. A parent may worry that you are not an   49  person and a teacher might watch you more   50  the next time you’re taking a test.
There are plenty of reasons why a kid shouldn’t cheat, but some students have already cheated. If that’s you, it’s   51  too late to stop cheating. Cheating can become a habit, but a student is always able to act better and make better   52 . It might help to talk the problem over with a parent, teacher, or friend.   

What is the best way to study? This is a very important question. Some Chinese students often   31  very hard for long hours. It is a   32   habit, but it is not a better way to study. An efficient(講效率的) student must   33   enough sleep, enough food and enough rest. Every week you   34   to go out for a walk or visit some friends or some nice places. It's good       35   your study. When you return to your studies, you'll find yourself   36   than before and you'll learn more.
Maybe we can   37   that learning English is   38   taking Chinese medicine. We don't mean that it's bitter (苦的). We mean that like Chinese medicine, the efficiency of your study   39   slowly but surely.   40   slowly but surely every day and effects will come just like Chinese medicine.
