21、 When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your grudge. But forgiveness is possible-and it can be surprisingly helpful to your physical and mental health. Indeed, research has shown that people who forgive have more energy, better appetite (胃口) and better sleep pattern. “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 body and make people feel more energetic.”
So when someone has hurt you, calm down first. Take plenty of breaths deeply and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love. Don’t 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 don’t 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 person’s perspective. You may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance(无知), fear, even love. To achieve the perspective, you may want to write a letter to yourself from that person’s point of view.
【1】The underlined word “grudge” in the first paragraph most probably means ________.
A.anger
B.forgiveness
C.understanding
D.pity
【2】What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?
A.Forgiveness keeps yourself from being hurt.
B.Forgiveness helps stay mentally healthy.
C.Forgiving others does good to your health.
D.Forgiving yourself is the biggest challenge.
【3】According to the writer, what is the best way to calm down after being hurt?
A.Try to figure out why you get hurt.
B.Writer 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.
【4】Dr. Luskin advises us not to wait for an apology after being hurt because ________.
A.people seldom want to apologize
B.we’d feel worse accepting others’ apology
C.we are not patient enough
D.people don’t mean it when they apologize
22、 This story happened when I was in Saint Lucia with my family. My sister, Diana, who also happens to be my best friend and one of the funniest and kindest people I know, went blind in one eye about 9 years ago. Diana sometimes feels concerned about the way her eye looks now. The pupil(瞳孔) is no longer black; it’s sort of “glows” in photos. Diana recently purchased a special contact lens(隐形镜片) that makes her eye look like it did before it changed color, but she doesn’t wear this lens often because it becomes quite painful after about an hour.
One night during our holiday, a hotel photographer was taking pictures of the guests as they entered the area set up for dinner. Diana casually said if she had known there were going to be pictures taken to capture this special memory, she would have worn her contact lens so her eye wouldn’t be so shiny in the picture.
The next day, I was sitting with Diana and her husband Ted. While we were talking, the photographer who had been at the dinner the night before, handed her a photo, leaned in and quietly said, “I matched the color of your eyes in the picture.”
As he walked away, my sister happily said to me and Ted, “Look! He fixed my eye!” The photographer stopped. He turned around and walked back to our table. He put his hand on Diana’s shoulder, leaned in again and gently said, “Just to be clear:I didn’t fix your eye. There isn’t anything wrong with your eye. I simply matched the color.”
Her eyes filled up with tears. It was very healing for her heart to hear these beautiful words. It didn’t take much time but made so much difference. It helped her change the way she feels about herself.
I have always loved the quote:“The world is full of good people. If you can’t find one, be one!” Your acts of kindness can impact the world in profound ways!
【1】My sister bought a contact lens in order to .
A.keep the pupil comfortable

24、Almost one in five drivers had dozed off behind the wheel, a shocking news report had showed. Of those who were dozing off, 29% have done so with their cars speeding at 70 miles per hour. The report also found a quarter of men have fallen asleep while driving, making it almost twice as many as women.
The Safety on Wheel Report, by Post Office Insurance, also looked at how often tiredness or a lack of concentration caused accidents. Three in ten drivers have experienced an accident, from passing a walker crossing to hitting another vehicle, because of a lack of concentration. Meanwhile, almost half (49%) of UK drivers have driven when they do not concentrate.
Paul Havenhand, head of insurance at Post Office, said, “ When tiredness strikes, drivers should avoid the roads.” There is no measurement for tired driving, unlike driving under the influence of alcohol, yet it could result in an equally dangerous accident.
Drivers are advised to take a 15-minute break from driving every two hours. However, a third (36%) are so eager to reach their destination that they will ignore feelings of tiredness. What’s more, almost one in five (18%) will drive for longer than four hours without a break, while 6% carry on for up to 6 hours. Just over a quarter (27%) choose a quick stop to buy a cup of coffee, which is a very popular way for drivers to get rid of tiredness, and only 17% stop to have a rest until they feel energetic again. Mr. Havenhand added, “Drivers should plan ahead and rest before starting a long journey; besides, they can take regular breaks to recharge their batteries while on road; in some cases, if they do feel too tired to concentrate on the roads, they could consider an alternative means of transport.”
【1】Which suggestion is NOT put forward by Mr. Havenhand?
A.Preparing well for a long journey and taking a complete rest before it.
B.Having breaks regularly in order to feel refreshed.
C.Choosing another method of transport instead.
D.Choosing a quick stop to grab something to eat.
【2】What does the underlined phrase “recharge their batteries” in the last paragraph mean?
A.Put a new supply of electricity into their batteries.
B.Get back their energy by resting for a while.
C.Accuse them of stealing batteries.
D.Pay twice more money for their batteries.
【3】It is implied in the last paragraph that for drivers the most popular cure for tiredness is _____.
A.drinking coffee
B.talking with others
C.ignoring feelings of tiredness
D.singing songs
【4】What’s the purpose of the writer in writing this passage?
A.To warn people of the danger of tired driving.
B.To tell people to be careful when walking on the street.
C.To inform people of the importance of a good rest.
D.To introduce some dangers while driving on the roads.

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When my boys were younger, going out with them was difficult. My heart sank during the holiday season every time I looked at the long line of kids waiting to meet Santa. This was not an activity our family could enjoy. The noise and crowds caused sensory (感官的) overload for my five-year-old son Noah, an autistic (患自闭症的) child. I also had a younger son, Henry, who needed an extra hand. Waiting in line was hardly possible.
I always hoped for the best but planned for the worst when I took the boys out of the house, but I knew that attempting to get a picture with Santa wasn’t worth the risk. If we had attempted to stand in line for even a few minutes, I would have been chasing Noah, and Henry would have experienced an emotional breakdown. It was easier to stay at home.
On the afternoon of Christmas Eve a year ago, the phone rang. The voice on the other end of the line said, “If you’re at home this evening, I’d like to arrange for Santa to stop by.” It was Denny, the friendly owner of a company, who had helped us with our do-it-yourself project. In a short time he was at our home, Denny’s kindness and ability to relate to our kids were evident.
I felt nervous and excited about having Santa come to our home. Denny told me it would be well arranged. Would our kids even notice? Would they be frightened by a stranger in a red suit? Would they cry?
A few minutes before I was planning to cook dinner on Christmas Eve, Santa tapped gently on the living-room window. Noah was speechless, and his jaw dropped. Henry, two years old, waved and said, “Hi, Santa!”
