It is good to get in touch with your inner child from time to time，and obviously some people are willing to pay big money for the chance to do so in a proper environment.A Brooklyn-based adult preschool is charging customers between $333 and $999 for the chance to act like a kid again.
At Preschool Mastermind in New York adults get to participate in show—and—tell，arts—and—crafts such as finger paint，games like musical chairs and even take naps.The month-long course also has class picture day where the adults are expected to have a field trip and a parent day.
30-year-old Michelle Joni Lapidos，the brain behind the adult preschool，studied childhood education and has always wanted to be a preschool teacher.She’s always on the lookout for new ways to get people in touch with the freedom of childhood.A friend encouraged her to start the mastermind course instead.
According to Candice，her blogger friend，Preschool Mastermind gives adults a chance to relearn and master the things that they failed to understand as children.“I realized all the significances of what we learn in preschool，”said founder Michelle Joni，“People come here and get in touch with their inner child.It’s magical.We are bringing ourselves back to another place，another time with ourselves when we are more believing in ourselves，more confident and ready to take on the world.”
“One person’s here because they want to learn not to be so serious.”Michelle said.“Another's here to learn to be more confident.”She explained that most of the classes were planned.However，Joni added that while the planned activities were fun，it was often the spontaneous(自發(fā)的)moments that attracted students.“It’s the things you don’t plan for，the sharing between friends and learning from each other.’’
24. What is the purpose of Preschool Mastermind?
A. To give adults a chance to return to childhood.
B. To help parents understand their children better.
C. To provide practical training courses for teachers. D. To introduce some ways of playing with children.

C
If you watch wolves, it’s hard to escape the conclusion that perhaps no two species are more alike behaviorally than wolves and humans. Living as we do in families, we can easily recognize the social structures and status search in wolf packs. No wonder Native Americans recognized in wolves a sibling (兄弟姐妹) spirit. And no wonder human males often face pressure to measure up as alpha males—to “wolf up,” as it were. The term alpha male indicates a man who at every moment shows that he’s in control in the home and who can become aggressive (好斗的).
This alpha male stereotype comes from a misunderstanding of the real thing. By observing wolves in free-living packs in Yellowstone National Park, I’ve seen that the leadership of the alpha male is not forced, and not aggressive to those on his team. “The main characteristic of an alpha male wolf,” the experienced wolf researcher Rick McIntyre told me as we were watching gray wolves, “is a quiet confidence. You know what you need to do; you know what’s best for your pack. You lead by example. You’re very comfortable with that. You have a calming effect.”
The point is, alpha males are not aggressive. They don’t need to be. “Think of an emotionally secure man or a great champion. Whatever he needed to prove is already proven,” he said.
There is an evolutionary logic to it. “Imagine two wolf packs, or two human groups,” McIntyre said. “Which is more likely to survive and reproduce: the onewhose members are more cooperative, more sharing, less violent (暴力的) with one another, or the group whose members are beating each other up and competing with one another?”
Thus, an alpha male may be a major player in a successful hunt, but after the takedown of the prey (獵物), he may step away and sleep until his pack has eaten and is full.
McIntyre has spent 20 years watching and studying wolves in Yellowstone for the National Park Service. He rises early, uses radio telemetry (遙感勘測) to locate a pack through a radio-collared pack member, then heads out with his spotting scope (觀測鏡) to observe the animals, keeping careful notes of their activities.
In all that time, he has rarely seen an alpha male act aggressively toward the pack’s other members. They are his family—his mate, offspring (both biological and adopted), and maybe a sibling.
This does not mean that alpha males are not aggressive when they need to be. One famous wolf in Yellowstone whose radio collar number, M21, became his name, was considered a “super wolf” by the people who closely observed his life. He was fierce (兇猛的) in defense of family and clearly never lost a fight with a male wolf. Within his own pack, one of his favorite things was to play with little pups (幼獸).
“And what he really loved to do was to pretend to lose. He just got fun from it,” McIntyre said.
One year, a pup was a bit sickly. The other pups seemed to be afraid of him and wouldn’tplay with him. Once, after delivering food for the small pups, M21 stood looking around for something. Soon he started wagging (搖擺) his tail. He’d been looking for the sickly little pup, and he went over just to play with him for a while.
Of all McIntyre’s stories about the super wolf, that’s his favorite. Strength impresses us. But kindness is what we remember best.
Biologists used to consider the alpha male the big boss. But now they recognize two systems at work in wolf packs—one for the males, the other for the females.
Doug Smith, the biologist who is the project leader for the Yellowstone Gray Wolf Restoration Project, said the females “do most of the decision making” for the pack, including where to travel, when to rest, and when to hunt. The matriarch’s (女族長的) personality can influence the whole pack, Smith said. Or, as McIntyre put it: “It’s the alpha female who really takes control of the pack.”
Clearly, our alpha male stereotype should be shaken off. Men can learn a thing or two from real wolves: less soar, more quiet confidence, leading by example, faithful devotion in the care and defense of families, respect for females, and a sharing of responsibilities. That’s really what wolfing up should mean.
28. What does the underlined “alpha male stereotype” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. That wolves have a sibling spirit. B. That alpha males are aggressive and in control at home.
C. That humans face pressure to be alpha males. D. That wolves and humansare alike.
29. Why is the example of M21 mentioned?
A. To prove alpha males are tough if necessary. B. To compare it with other super wolves.
C. To illustrate that it is McIntyre’s favorite. D. To show how the research was carried out.
30. Which of the following images most resembles a real alpha male?
A. A strict father who never smiles at his children.
B. A father who does most of the decision making.
C. A general who never loses a battle in defense of his country.
D. A powerful executive shouting at a board meeting.
31. The best title of the passage should be ________.
A. Wolf families B. The matriarch C. Supreme bosses D. Alpha males
【答案】 28—31 BACD
D
Too much TV-watching can harm children's ability to learn and even reduce their chances of getting a college degree，new studies suggest in the latest effort to examine the effects of television on children.
One of the studies looked at nearly 400 northern California third-graders.Those with TVs in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on maths and language arts tests than children without bedroom TVs.
A second study，looking at nearly 1，000 grown-ups in New Zealand，found lower education levels among 26-year-olds who had watched lots of TV during childhood.But the results don't prove that TV is the cause and don't rule out(排除) that already poorly motivated(刺激;激發(fā)) youngsters may watch lots of TV.
Their study measured the TV habits of 26-year-olds between ages 5 and 15.Those with college degrees had watched an average of less than two hours of TV per weeknight during childhood，compared with an average of more than 2.5 hours for those who had no education beyond high school.
In the California study，children with TVs in their rooms but no computer at home scored the lowest，while those with no bedroom TV but who had home computers scored the highest.
While this study does not prove that bedroom TV sets caused the lower scores，it adds to accumulating (積累;積聚) findings that children shouldn't have TVs in their bedrooms.
32.According to the California study，the low-scoring group might________.
A.have watched a lot of TV
B.not be interested in maths
C.be unable to go to college
D.have had computers in their bedrooms
33.What is the researchers' understanding of the New Zealand study results?
A.Poorly motivated 26-year-olds watch more TV.
B.Habits of TV-watching reduce learning interest.
C.TV-watching leads to lower education levels of the 15-year-olds.
D.The connection between TV and education levels is difficult to explain.
34.What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A.More time should be spent on computers.
B.Children should be forbidden from watching TV.
C.TV sets shouldn't be allowed in children's bedrooms.
D.Further studies on high-achieving students should be done.
35.What would be the best title for this text?
A.Computers or television
B.Effects of television on children
C.Studies on TV and college education
D.Television and children's learning habits

Eyesight plays a very important role in our daily life. Every waking moment, the eyes are working to see the world around us. Over forty percent of Americans worry about losing eyesight, but it's easy to include steps into our daily life to ensure healthy eyes. Here are five suggestions for a lifetime of healthy eyesight：
◆ Schedule yearly exams. 36 Experts advise parents to bring babies 6 to 12 months of age to the doctor for a careful check. The good news is that millions of children now can have yearly eye exams and following treatment, including eyeglasses.
◆ Protect against UV rays(紫外線). Long-term stay in the sun creates risk to your eyes. No matter what the season is, it's extremely important to wear sunglasses. 37
◆ Give your eyes a break. Two thirds of Americans spend up to seven hours a day using computers or other digital products. 38 Experts recommend that people practice the 20/20/20 rule: every 20 minutes, take a 20second break and look at something 20 feet away.
◆ 39 As part of a healthy diet, eat more fruits and vegetables each day. Vitamins (維生素) C and E help protect eyesight and promote eye health.
◆ Practice safe wear and care of contact lenses(隱形眼鏡). Many Americans use contact lenses to improve their eyesight. While some follow the medical guidance for wearing contact lenses, many are breaking the rules and putting their eyesight at risk. 40 Otherwise, you may have problems such as red eyes, pain in the eyes, or a more serious condition.
A. Eat your greens.
B. Eye care should begin early in life.
C. They can properly protect your eyes.
D. Stay in good shape by taking more vitamins.
E. Parents usually don’t care about their own eyesight.
F. Always follow the doctor's advice for appropriate wear.
G. This frequent eye activity increases the risk for eye tiredness.

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
A
The trouble started at 9:30 p.m. last New Year's Eve, in Newmark. When the fire engines (消防車) arrived at the fire, a very old woman was sitting in a third floor window. The firefighters placed a ladder (梯子) against the wooden house, and 26-year-old Marcus Reddick climbed 35 feet to the third floor.
The woman, 60 years old and very fat, was sitting with both feet out of the window. When Marcus reached the top of the ladder, the woman, afraid and nervous, put her two legs around him. Suddenly Marcus fell backwards off the ladder, with the large woman sitting on him. Marcus landed first — hitting a wall beside the front stairs — and broke the woman's fall. She fell no more, but he fell another ten feet down the stairs. When the fire officer reached him, Marcus was unconscious.
Within an hour, a doctor told the men that Marcus was nearly brain dead, and would only get worse. Doctors talked of turning off the life-saving machine and asked if the family would like to give away his heart. The answer was “yes”.
On January 6, firefighters lifted Marcus' coffin (棺材) — covered with an American flag — onto a yellow fire engine. Hundreds of firefighters from all over the state joined the procession (行列) through Newmark streets. Children watched silently from school windows. The day Marcus died, his heart was given away to a young girl. His family said that it was the second life Marcus had saved.
21. What happened last New Year's Eve in Newmark?
A. An old woman was killed. B. A fire engine was missing.
C. A wooden house caught fire. D. A firefighter was murdered
22. After reaching the top of the ladder, Marcus _____.
A. was very afraid and nervous B. was knocked off and got hurt
C. found it difficult to get down D. couldn't see anything clearly
23. The underlined word “unconscious” in Paragraph 2 means “_____”.
A. senseless B. homeless C. breathless D. helpless
24. We can infer from the end of the text that Marcus' family might feel _____.
A. worried and surprised B. shy but excited
C. angry and doubtful D. sad but proud
B
Some places in the world have strange laws. It’s important for you to know about them before going there.
Whoever likes to chew gum(口香糖) may have to leave Singapore. The government really wants to keep the city clean and will fine you for chewing gum.
Before you leave for the United Arab Emirates you’d better make sure you aren’t visiting during Ramadan(齋月). During that time you aren’t allowed to eat or drink in public. Tourists have been fined up to $275 for drinking in public.
Lovers spend so much time kissing each other goodbye at train stations that trains often start late. This law—no kissing your lover goodbye at train stations – is rather old, and isn’t in use today in France.
In Thailand it’s against the law to drive a car or motorcycle without a shirt on, no matter how hot it is. Punishments are different in different areas and can include warnings and tickets costing about $10. No joke ---the local police will stop you.
Studies in Denmark have shown that cars with their headlights on are more noticeable by other drivers than those with their headlights off. Drivers there are required to leave their headlights on even during the day, or they may face a fine up to $100.
Do you often buy things using coins? Don’t do it in Canada. The Currency Law of 1985 doesn’t allow using only coins to buy things. Even the use of the dollar-coin is limited (受限制的). The shop owner has the right to choose whether to take your coins or not.
Make sure you know about these laws before your next trip. Better safe than sorry.
25. What is mainly talked about in the text?
A. How to make your trip around the world safe. B. Why there are strange laws in the world.
C. Interesting places you can go to around the world. D. Some strange laws you should know about for your trip.
26. If you are driving a car in Thailand, __________.
A. you should wear your shirt even though it’s hot B. the police will play a joke on you
C. the police will give you tickets costing about $10 D. you should always keep your headlights on
27. What can we learn from the text?
A. Kissing goodbye at train stations isn’t allowed in France today.
B. The Singaporean government cares a lot about its environment.
C. Tourists in the United Arab Emirates shouldn’t eat in public.
D. You can turn your headlights off in daytime in Denmark.
C
I first came across the concept of pay-what-you-can cafes last summer in Boone, N.C., where I ate at F.A.R.M (Feed All Regardless of Means) Café. You can volunteer to earn your meal, pay the suggested price($10) or less, or you can overpay—paying it forward for a future customer’s meal. My only regret after eating there was not having a chance to give my time. So as soon as Healthy World Café opened in York in April, I signed up for a volunteer shift(輪班).
F.A.R.M and Healthy World are part of a growing trend of community cafés. In 2003, Denise Cerreta opened the first in Salt Lake City. Cerreta now runs the One World Everybody Eats Foundation, helping others copy her pay-what-you can model.
“I think the community café is truly a hand up, not a hand out,” Cerreta said. She acknowledged that soup kitchens(施粥所) have a place in society, but people typically don’t feel good about going there.
“One of the values of the community café is that we have another approach,” she said. “Everyone eats here, no one needs to know whether you volunteered, overpaid or underpaid.”
The successful cafés not only address hunger and food insecurity but also become necessary parts of their neighborhood – whether it’s a place to learn skills or hear live music. Some teach cooking to seniors; some offer free used books. Eating or working there is a reminder that we are all in this world together.
My 10 am---1pm shift at World-Healthy-Café began with the café manager – one of the two paid staff members. Our volunteer crew wasn’t the most orderly, but we managed to prepare and serve meals with a lot of laughs in between. At the end of my shift, I ordered my earned meal at the counter, together with other volunteers. After lunch, I walked out the door, with a handful of new friends, music in my head and a satisfied belly and heart.
28. What did the author do at F.A.R.M Café last summer?
A. She enjoyed a meal. B. She ate free of charge.
C. She overpaid for the food. D. She worked as a volunteer.
29. What is the advantage of community cafés compared with soup kitchens?
A. People can have free food. B. People can maintain their dignity.
C. People can stay as long as they like. D. People can find their places in society.
30. Why are community cafés becoming popular in the neighborhoods?
A. They bring people true friendships. B. They help to bring people together.
C. They create a lot of job opportunities. D. They support local economic development.
31. How did the author feel about working at Healthy World Café?
A. It paid well. B. It changed her. C. It was beneficial. D. It was easy for her.[
D
Back in 2003 an 86-year-old man drove his Buick through a crowded farmers’ market. Nine people were killed. More than fifty-four people were hurt, fourteen with serious injuries. When he finally stopped, the 86-year-old man got out his car and screamed at people to get out of the way. No alcohol or drugs were found in his system. Apparently, he was just old and confused.
This is a frightening accident, and it is not a rare one. There are many examples of elderly drivers driving into swimming pools, houses, storefronts, or worse.
In our teenage years, we all heard “driving is not a right; it’s a privilege(特權(quán)).” That is still true, and there comes an age when driving is no longer a privilege that can be allowed. After a certain age, eyesight and dementia(癡呆) are very serious concerns. Undoubtedly, these age-related problems affect some older adults’ driving ability. By the time a person is between eighty-five and ninety years old, his or her driving privilege should be examined.
Licensing laws vary greatly from state to state, and it’s time for a national law on the maximum age limit for driving. The motivation for this law is safety. Another option is to start with laws that ban anyone over the age of eighty-five from driving after sundown, because driving conditions are not as safe as daylight hours. Still another option that may allow elderly drivers to continue driving could be new technology like a voice warning system that cautions drivers on busy streets or at traffic lights. Finally, since there are laws against driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs, shouldn’t some prescription drugs also be included? The average age of 85-year-old is undoubtedly taking at least one prescription drug daily.
The thought of an 86-year-old driver with failing eyesight running down the road in a two-ton piece of metal is unsettling to us all. Driving at an advanced age is not only challenging for the elderly drivers, but also it’s dangerous for the rest of us.
32. The first paragraph is written in order to show_________.
A. the harm of driving at an old age B. the importance of traffic safety
C. traffic accidents are on the rise D. many elderly drivers are careless
33. The author suggests that there should be new laws against driving __________.
A. over eighty-five B. under the influence of prescription drugs
C. with the help of voice warning systems D. between sunset and dawn
34. The underlined word “unsettling” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to “________”.
A. disappointing B. worrying C. touching D. interesting
35. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. How to keep old people safe on the road?
B. Are drivers well protected by licensing laws?
C. Should there be an age limit for elderly drivers?
D. Is driving a right or a privilege for an old person?

Some people make you feel comfortable when they are around. You spend an hour with them and feel as if you have known them half your life. 36 .
Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, they’ll help you put people at their ease, and make friends with them quickly.
First of all , good talkers ask questions. 37 .One well-known businesswoman says, “At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. It’s a common question, but it will get things going.” From there you can move on to other matters—sometimes to really personal questions. 38 .Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. This point seems clear, but it isn't. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully and attentively.
39 . If someone sticks to one topic,you can take it as a fact that he's really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones of voice. If the voice sounds dull, then, it’s time for you to change the subject. Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the occasion of parting. If you're saying goodbye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, “I’ve really enjoyed meeting you.” 40 . Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if they’ve known you half their life.
A.Real listening at least means some things.
B.You can become a popular person.
C.Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question.
D.And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.
E.If you want to see that person again, don’t keep it a secret.
F.It’s polite to listen to others with a smile.
G.These people have something in common.

A
When he was driving home one evening on a country road, Joe saw an old lady, stranded(拋錨)on the side of the road. He stopped in front of her car and got out. Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. He looked poor and hungry. He knew how she felt. He said, “I am here to help you, madam. Why don’t you wait in the car where it’s warm? By the way, my name is Joe.”
She had a flat tire(輪胎).Joe crawled under the car, changed the tire. But he got dirty and his hands hurt. She could not thank him enough and asked him how much she owed him. He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the assistance he needed, and Joe added, “And think of me.”
She drove off. A few miles down the toad the lady saw a small restaurant. She went in. The waitress had a sweet smile, and was nearly eight months pregnant(懷孕). The old lady wondered how someone like her who seemed poor could be so kind to a stranger. Then she remembered Joe. After the lady finished her meal, the waitress went to get her change from a hundred-dollar bill. But she stepped right out of the door.
When the waitress came back, she noticed something written on a napkin, “I am helping you because someone once helped me. If you really want to pay me back, here’s what you do—Do not let the chain of love end with you.”
That night when she got home, she was thinking about the money and what the lady had written. She and her husband needed money with the baby due next month. She knew how worried her husband was, and as he lay sleeping next to her, she whispered, “Everything’s going to be all right. I love you, Joe.”
21. When Joe stopped to help the lady, she ________.
A. became excited
B. was afraid to be hurt
C. refused his offer
D. thanked him
22. We can learn from the text that ________.
A. Joe’s boss fired him
B. Joe worked as a driver
C. Joe’s wife was the waitress
D. Joe had an unhappy marriage
23. By telling the story, the writer tries to show that ________.
A. being generous is a good quality
B. kindness can be spread
C. being poor can not stop a happy marriage
D. first impression is not always right
B
How Important Is Fashion?
Is looking fashionable more important than being comfortable? Many people seem to think so, judging by the things they wear. But fashion is not everything. It is more important to be a healthy and good person.
People go to great lengths to be fashionable. Some people think they have to have a certain body type, so they go on extreme, unhealthy diets in order to change their bodies. In addition, many women wear uncomfortable fashions, such as high-heeled shoes that create blisters(水泡), tight body shapers that limit blood flow, and sticky false eyelashes. Men and women alike spend time and money on products that change their natural hair color and use hot irons and blow dryers to curl or straighten their hair. Some people spend several hours a day in front of a mirror. Is fashion important enough to spend so much time and effort on changing how you look like?
If the purpose of fashion is to make a person feel good, it does not make sense that he or she would go through so much discomfort to be fashionable. Fashion should not come first. People should prioritize(優(yōu)先考慮)being healthy and positive. What people wear does not indicate anything about their personalities. Instead of spending hours choosing a suit, perhaps you should call your friends and do something together! Instead of going on strict diets and starving, why not eat some healthy foods and then exercise? By doing these things, you can keep a healthy lifestyle and truly grow as a person.
24. The author’s main purpose in writing the text is to ________.
A. show readers advantages and disadvantages of dieting
B. persuade readers to value health more than fashion
C. amuse readers with a story about a fashion-school student
D. tell readers of the latest fashion styles
25. Which statement best represents the author’s viewpoint?
A. People need to diet to lose weight.
B. When you look good, you feel good.
C. Fashion increases famous people’s self-respect
D. Fashion can make people do some unhealthy things.
26. Which of the following activities would the author most likely recommend?
A. Going skating with friends.
B. Shopping for bargain clothes.
C. Starting a new diet with a friend.
D. Changing the hairstyle every week.
C
People have used pigeons to carry messages to one another for hundreds of years. In fact, pigeons were a common way to send messages right up through Would War II.
In 1815, English troops were fighting Napoleon’s forces in France, and the English were believed to be losing. A financial panic swept over London. Government bonds(債券)were offered at low prices. Few people noticed that Nathan Rothschild, an English banker, was snapping up these bonds when everyone else was trying to sell them. A few days later, London learned the truth: the Duke of Wellington had defeated Napoleon at the battle of Waterloo. The value of the bonds soared(暴漲), and Rothschild became wealthy…all because his pigeons had brought him news of the victory before anyone else knew of it.
Carrier pigeons were used by countries in both World War I and World War II. Not only were the birds often the fastest, most reliable way to send messages, they could also be used to reach soldiers far behind enemy lines, where radios and field telephone lines were useless. Since they could easily be released from airplanes or ships, every branch of the armed services used the birds.
Carrying messages could be a dangerous job. Some pigeons performed with such bravery that they became famous and were even awarded medals. The most famous pigeon of all may have been Cher Ami. Stationed in France during World War I, he carried twelve important messages for American forces. On his last mission, though wounded, he carried a message that saved the lives of 194 American soldiers. For his amazing service, he was awarded the French “Croix de Guerre.”
Today, modern communication methods can carry information from one place to another hundreds of times faster than a pigeon could do it. However, few people would argue with the fact that carrier pigeons — especially those that served in the military — have earned their place in history.

4 Study Habits You Should Be Practising
With exams, essays, projects, and many deadlines for different things, effective(有效的)study habits are necessary. 31 If you are in need of a bit of an improvement, keep reading for the top four study habits that you should be practicing.
1. Make and use flashcards.
32 By using flashcards with a question on one side and the answer on the other, you will force your brain to recall he necessary information. Even if you struggle a bit with a card, you will still be actively revising the necessary material.
2. Revise, revise, revise!
Many students put off studying until just before the exam, with the more hardworking students giving themselves a week or two before a test. 33 It’s best to revise the information a little bit every day, so that you are not upset when a test comes around.
3. 34
One of the most effective—and the most fun—methods of studying is to watch related lectures and videos in order to get more material. Watch documentaries or videos on YouTube and educational websites. You may be surprised at how much you can learn from videos, and just how much information is available online.
4. Re-write your notes.
Studies have shown that writing information out by hand increases your ability to remember the material. This makes the recall go hand-in-hand with muscle memory. 35

A. Watch related lectures and videos.
B. One method of revising is to make a mind-map.
C. Use these graded tests to create a new practice test.
D. Having these great study habits can make things easier.
E. However, it’s actually an ineffective method of preparing and studying.
F. Flashcards are designed to improve active memory recall of information.
G. You will be able to picture your written notes when you are taking the exam.

When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be very difficult to let go of your anger. 56 forgiveness is possible-and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. So far, research has shown that people who forgive can have more energy and 57 (good) sleep.
So when someone has hurt you, cool down first. Take a couple of 58 (breath) and think of something that 59 (give) you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love. Don’t wait for 60 apology. “Many times the person who hurts you may never think of 61 (apologize),” says Dr. Frederic Luskin, 62 wrote the book Forgive for Good. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. So if you wait for people 63 (say) sorry, you could be waiting a very long time.” Next keep in mind that forgiveness does not 64 (necessary) mean accepting the action of the person who upsets you. Instead, learn to look for the love, 65 (beautiful) and kindness around you. Finally, try to see things from the other person’s position. You may realize that he or she was acting out of carelessness.

Dear David,
I’m glad to learn that you’ve just established English Drama Club, which will be a perfect stage for teenagers who have a passion for acting. Here comes my advice.
First, it would be wise to arrange various activities to attract more members to take part in, such as poem reciting, musical play and so on. As to stage techniques, please invite specialists to give professional guidance if possible. Besides, it should be a good idea to set up a fund and prizes to honor those with contributions.
Wish it a big success.
Yours,
Li Hua
