24、 Is there someone you hate? Well, maybe you don’t really hate them. But you get really angry every time you think of them. If you don’t let this anger go, it can turn into bitterness (痛苦).
Bitterness appears when we can’t forgive (原谅) someone who has hurt us or made us angry.
Someone might say or do something that hurts us. But instead of controlling the anger, we keep it deep inside. Before long, a bitter feeling begins to grow. We may think we’re hurting that person by criticizing (指责) him or her often, but we’re really only hurting ourselves.
Bitterness can not only lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, but also hurt our relationships with friends and family members. No one enjoys being around an angry person for very long.
If you see bitterness in your life, here are some ways to deal with it.
Accept it
Instead of trying to deny your anger, make it clear to yourself and accept it. See your anger for what it is and quickly deal with it.
Stop making excuses for it
You may feel you have a right to be angry. You may think you’re right and the other person is wrong. You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look bad. But in the end, bitterness hurts you much more than the other person. The bitterness will hold you back, and the other person will go on with his or her life.
Forgive and forget it
You probably can’t completely put the anger out of your mind. But you can decide to forgive the other person. Forget it and move on. You’ll enjoy better health and peace of mind.
【1】According to the passage, we might get angry when someone _______.
A.holds us back
B.forgets us
C.doesn’t like us
D.does hurt us
【2】Bitterness comes from __________.

A.误解
B.否认
C.疏远
D.减轻
【4】The best way to deal with the bitterness is to _________.
A.make the person who hurts us look bad
B.hate the person who hurts us very often
C.accept that you are hurting the other person
D.forgive the person who hurts us and forget it
【5】What can we learn from the passage?
A.We should enjoy someone who hurts us.
B.We should pay more attention to our friends.
C.The peace of mind is more important than the hurt itself.
D.It’s better to let bitterness go along with the other person.
25、阅读下面的短文,然后根据短文内容,在每小题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Everyone gets sick of hearing. “Put on your seat belt!”But it’s good advice. People who wear seat belts are 45 percent less likely to be killed while riding in the front seat of a car.
The US government wants more seat belt laws. It says children aged 4 to 15 are often killed in car accidents. In 2005, there were 1,627 children aged 4 to 15 killed in car accidents. More than 1,000 of those children were not wearing seat belts. If they had been wearing seat belts, 500 of those children could be alive today.
These children are too old to be in car seats, but they often sit in the back seat. Seat belt laws in many states, including Wisconsin, only require people in the front seat to wear seat belts. Children who aren’t wearing seat belts can be thrown from the car. The risk of dying in an accident is three times greater if the person is thrown from the car.
New laws could require children aged 4 to 8 to be in booster seats in the car. Booster seats help seat belts fit children properly. Right now, only 5 percent of children aged 4 to 8 are seated in booster seats(儿童座椅).
While parents have the choice of whether wearing seat belts or not, children are too young to make that choice. Even if you decide not to wear a seat belt, make sure you children are in seat belts and car seats. It’s the law and it will save their lives.
【1】 The underlined sentence “Everyone gets sick of hearing”in the first paragraph means“________”.
A. there is something wrong with everyone’s ears
B. all people fall ill when they hear something
C. many people don’t pay attention to wearing seat belts
D. none of the people knows it is a piece of good advice
【2】More than two-third of 1,627 children were killed because ___________.
A. they weren’t using seat belts
B. they were too careful when they walked on the road
C. they were not old enough to sit in the car
D. they wore seat belts
【3】You must get your children to put on seat belts in order to ________.
A. keep them comfortable in the car seat
B. keep them safe
C. keep them awake in the car all the time
D. prevent all kinds of traffic accidents
【4】What would be the best title of this passage?
A. Children Should Put on Seat Belts.
B. Too Many Traffic Accidents Happened Recently.
C. Traffic Laws Are Very Important.
D. Parents Are Important to Children.
26、 Visitors to England love going to see the many palaces, castles and grand old houses that are open to the public. A lot of these buildings have beautiful grounds around them — with green hills, small lakes or streams and, perhaps, an old ruin(废墟)half-hidden among some distant trees. These landscapes look like the natural countryside. But many of them are the work of England’s most famous landscape architect(建筑师), Lancelot “Capability” Brown.
In the early 1700s, English gardens copied French ones — like the famous gardens at Versailles(凡尔赛), near Paris. In these gardens, owners wanted to show their power over nature. Trees were planted in long lines. Flowerbeds and paths made symmetrical patterns(对称模式)on the ground. But Capability Brown changed all that. He didn’t want to see patterns in a garden. He wanted a piece of countryside.
In 1716, Brown began his working life as a gardener’s helper. At twenty-five, he went to work for the well-known gardener William Kent at Stowe House, northwest of London. Kent was beginning to design more natural gardens and it was here that Brown’s ideas began to form. He was allowed to design gardens for other homes and was soon working for many wealthy families. When he first looked at the land for a garden that he was going to create, he often used to say “It has great capabilities” (meaning he was sure he could improve it) so everyone began to call him “Capabilities” Brown.
To make his gardens, he pulled everything out and started again. He sometimes told his gardeners to move whole hills or change the path of a stream. Carefully placing trees, hills, water and bridges, he created a “dream” of nature — an idea of England that is still much loved today.
【1】In the first paragraph, the underlined word “them” means .
A. the buildings
B. the countryside
C. the green hills
D. the landscapes
【2】Brown’s first job was .
A. with William Kent
B. at Stowe House
C. to work for wealthy families
D. to be a gardener’s helper
【3】The writer wrote this passage .
A. to explain how landscape architects work
B. to describe how Capability Brown became a landscape architect
C. to describe the work of the landscape architect Capability Brown
D. to design gardens for other homes
