10．Forgiveness
To forgive is a virtue（美德），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．
（36）B Try the following steps：
Calm yourself．（37）F 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 your does not intend to apologize．They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way．（38）G 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．
（39）D 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．（40）E 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？
C．Recognize the benefits of forgiveness．
D．Try to see things from your offender's angle．
E．For some people，forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge．
F．To make your anger die away，try a simple stress-management technique．
G．If you wait for people to apologize，you could be waiting an awfully long time．

7．Have you ever felt sick to your stomach during a test？Have you ever been so worried about something that you ended up with a terrible headache？
If so，then you know what it's like to feel stress．You've probably heard people say，"Wow，I'm really stressed out．"（16）B But children have lots of things going on in their lives that can cause stress，too．
What is stress？
Stress is what you feel when you are worried or uncomfortable about something．This worry in your mind can make your body feel bad．You may feel angry，frustrated，scared，or afraid---which can give you a stomachache or a headache．
What causes stress？
Plenty of things can cause stress in a child's life．（17）GGood or normal stress might show up when you're called on in class or when you have to give a report．Have you ever gotten butterflies in your stomach or sweaty hands？Those can be signs of good stress．（18）A For example，you may do a better job on your book report if the anxiety inspires you to prepare well before you get up and read it to the class．
But bad stress can happen if the stressful feelings keep going over time．You may not feel well if your parents are fighting，if a family member is sick，if you're having problems at school，or if you're going through anything else that makes you upset every day．（19）F
Once you recognize that you're feeling stressed，there are several things you can do．You can try talking about what's bothering you with an adult you trust，like a parent or teacher．（20）C An adult may have ideas about how to solve whatever is worrying you or making you uncomfortable．

A．This kind of stress can help you to get things done．
B．Maybe you hear adults say those kinds of things all the time．
C．Bring up what's been on your mind and how it makes you feel．
D．Everyone experiences stress at times---adults，teens，and even kids．
E．There are ways to reduce stress and manage the stress that's unavoidable．
F．That kind of stress isn't going to help you，and it can actually make you sick．
G．The trick is to remember that some types of stress are good and others are
bad．

4．It was one of the hottest days of the dry season．We had not seen rain in almost a month．The crops were dying．Cows had stopped giving milk．The streams were long gone back into the earth．If we didn't see some rain soon we would lose everything．
I was in the kitchen making lunch for my husband and his brothers when I saw my six-year old son，Billy，walking toward the woods．He was obviously walking with a great effort…trying to be as still as possible．Minutes after he disappeared into the woods，he came running out again，toward the house．
Moments later，however，he was once again walking in that slow purposeful long step toward the woods．This activity went on for over an hour：walking cautiously to the woods，then running back to the house．Finally，my curiosity got the best of me．I crept out of the house and followed him on his journey．
He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked； being very careful not to spill the water he held in them．Branches and thorns slapped his little face but he did not try to avoid them．He had a much greater purpose．As I leaned in to spy on him，I saw the most amazing site．
Several large deer appeared threatening in front of him．But Billy walked right up to them．I almost screamed for him to get away．And I saw a baby deer lying on the ground，obviously suffering from heavy loss of water and heat exhaustion，lift its head with great effort to lap up the water cupped in my beautiful boy's hand．
I stood on the edge of the woods watching the most beautiful heart I have ever known working so hard to save a life．As the tears that rolled down my face began to hit the ground，they were suddenly joined by other drops…and more drops…and more．I looked up at the sky．It was as if God，Himself，was weeping with pride．

25．Why did the author follow her son？C

8．How to communicate effectively
Effective communication is a must for everyone who hopes to be successful．It helps express your thoughts and improves your career prospects（前景） as well as strengthens relationships．Therefore，it's necessary to work hard to improve your communication skills．
（36）ABefore you are ready to talk to a group of people，you should think about what you are going to talk about．Although a printed copy of a speech may not be always necessary，highlighting a few important issues in your mind is a must．（37）DAnd it reduces the possibilities of getting away from the main issues．
Choose your words．
Choice of words is the most important part of any communication．Simple，clear words are appropriate for the issue you are discussing．Needless to say，words that could make your audience unpleasant are best kept out of the communication．Most people tend to be careful about their language while at work．（38）CThis may hurt your loved ones beyond your imagination．
Use your body language properly．
Many people use body language by mistake and end up making a fool of themselves．Body language means keeping eye contact and using hand gestures only wherever required．（39）GThis will make your talk more of a stage performance and defeat its purpose．
Listen and concentrate．
Communication is an exchange of ideas．Once you are done with your part，listen carefully to what other people plan to say．（40）E Get rid of all distractions such as a phone before you begin communication．A distraction not only disturbs your focus，but it also causes your audience's attention to wander．

A．Gather your thoughts．
