20．A．Arguments are pointless．
B．Your parents only want what's best for you．
C．Everyone's opinion matters only as much as you want them to．
D．You learn by doing．
E．Your emotions are under your control．
F．You aren't stuck in any situation．
Life is the greatest teacher
There always comes a moment when I wonder where I will end up and this moment always serves as a strong motivation for me to learn life lesson．I've learned a great many things，but these are the lessons that I wish I'd learned earlier：
（61）C
There was a time when everyone's opinion was mine as well．Whatever preferences I formerly held were dashed in the face of another's．This most likely came from a need to please others．
Remember that your opinion matters just as much as the next guy's，whether they make more money than you or are less popular than you．Everyone's opinion holds the same weight．
（62）E
Drama，chaos，and emotional unrest-these were what took up most of my time as a teenager．When everyone's obsessed with what's in and what's not，tempers flare； mine mostly．
If I had heard someone said rotten things behind my back，I'd erupt．Go crazy．Looking back on those tantrums now，I'm not too surprised．After all，when you have little self control，anything is possible．The lessons here is，remain aware of how you react．
（63）A
Will one small quarrel among friends decide the fate of the entire universe？In my world it felt like it．I just wanted so much to be right and for them so much to be wrong．But in the end，it only resulted in me wasting my time and in the other person storming off in frustration．
Is there really a point to arguing？Unless it's absolutely necessary，I've learned that it's better to hold your breath on things you can't control at all．
Arguing to change someone's mind is one of them．
（64）B
I'm not saying every parent wants what's best for you （there are outliers），but in general，parents do what they do for you in your best interest．My parents used to make me do the dishes，cook dinner，sweep the floors，mow the lawn，take out the garbage…the list goes on and on．And at every turn，I'd whine and complain．I'd eventually end up doing it．Now，I honestly see the value in having learned those skills．I can efficiently cook and clean up after myself．
（65）F
Whenever I'd lose a friend，get an awful grade，or disappoint my parents，I stewed in my own muck．Waiting for the bad moments to go away seemed to be the only solution．Fortunately，I know now that you don't have to be stuck in bad situations．You can go out and create better ones．
It all depends on perspective； on how you see the situation．Viewing everything as a learning experience makes life more pleasurable，even during the hard times．You aren't stuck．You can move on．
I'm glad to have learned these lessons the way I did．Each experience helped shape me to become a better person．I don't know if any young people are reading this，but if they are，I'd like to say this："Listen to life and it's experiences．Everyone goes through mostly the same things．"

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．

College is a very important time of your life and you should make the most of it．You will learn as much from the real world as from textbooks，as much from practice as theory．

         （28）B．They are known mainly to country people．City people just don't know how to look for them．City people think that a groundhog sitting by its hole may look like a root（根）．It could also be seen as a clod （塊） of earth．Or it may look like a broken fence-post（柵欄柱）．But a farmer sees groundhogs anywhere he looks．They'll be watching like guards．

With less than ten seconds remaining，the ball suddenly rolled in front of my son's teammate，Mickey O'Donnel．With shouts of"Kick it!"echoing （回響） across the playground，Mickey turned around and gave it everything he had．All around me the crowd erupted （沸騰）．O'Donnel had scored!
