A few years ago, Melody Morrow of New York City hurt her foot and needed treatment.However, she said what really made her feel better was receiving and paying the bill.
“On the front of the envelope, it had these little musical notes,” Morrow told CBS News of the billing statement she received in the mail, a play on her name, “Melody.”
MJHS Health System is a large health care provider, so personal touches on billing statements aren’t usually its thing.
“And then it began,” Morrow said.
Every month after that, her billing statement from MJHS arrived in the mail with a new drawing.The drawings started out simple, like a musical symbol.But as the months progressed, the envelopes got more and more detailed.This unique artwork was created by an anonymous artist just for her.
“It was unbelievable,” Morrow said.
Finally, Morrow called MJHS, and asked if there was anyone in the billing team who happened to be artistic.The phone went quiet, and then she heard:“Hey Emily, it’s for you.”
Accounting clerk Emily Margolis is hardly a frontline caregiver, but she believed she could use her drawings to help people heal (康复).She said she enjoys making people happy.
Morrow was very thankful, and Margolis decided to further her game.She began taking Morrow’s mailings home at night and spent hours turning those simple white business envelopes into amazing creations.
“Then I started adding rhinestones (莱茵石),” Margolis said.“And I experimented with gold leaf.That was fun.”
Finally came the last mailing, but not the end of the story.Morrow and Margolis became friends and are now working together on an exhibit at a Manhattan coffee shop that shows Margolis’ envelope creations.However, Morrow said what is really on show here is the healing power of kindness.
“This was a stranger,” Morrow said.“And she was doing that just for me.And that’s the beauty of it.”
24.What surprised Morrow when she received the first mail?
A.The high numbers on her bill. B.A copy of her medical records.
C.A picture of herself in the hospital. D.The musical notes on the envelope.
25.What does the underlined word “anonymous” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A.Humorous. B.Nameless.
C.Famous. D.Tireless.
26.Which of the following can best describe Margolis?
A.Creative and kind-hearted. B.Curious and hard-working.
C.Honest and confident. D.Brave and strong.
27.What is the purpose of the exhibit in Morrow’s eyes?
A.To make Margolis happy. B.To collect money for patients.
C.To encourage kindness and care. D.To deepen her friendship with Margolis.

Sisters Audrey Findlay, 75, and Barbara Rowe, 63, start every weekday with an 8 a.m. phone call.An hour or so later, they head to work together at Findlay Rowe, the gift shop they opened 12 years ago.
At 5 or 6 p.m., the sisters leave work and head to their homes.They meet up again after dinner and take an hourlong walk, slipping into what their adult children call their “twin talk”.
“One of us will begin a sentence, not finish it, and the other will already be answering,” Ms Findlay said.
More than 80 per cent of Americans grow up with at least one sibling (兄弟姐妹), and research suggests those relationships can offer advantages into adulthood.A 2019 study that focused on people in their mid-60s, for example, found that warmth between adult siblings may help fight against loneliness and improve well-being.
While there isn’t a lot of research on how well most adults get along with their siblings, numbers from the 2015 book Adult Sibling Relationships present some clues.In interviews with 262 adults, 64 per cent said they considered themselves to be a “good friend” to at least one of their siblings, and 45 per cent said they considered at least one of their siblings to be among their best friends.
“Yet 70 per cent said they had ups and downs with their siblings over the course of their lives,” said Dr Geoffrey Greif, co-author of the 2015 book, “and 8 per cent said they were never close.”
“Sibling relationships, like all family relationships, have some ambivalence (矛盾情绪),” Dr Greif said — an obvious statement, but one he believes is important for siblings to bear in mind, so they don’t set an “impossible standard” for what a solid (牢固的) relationship requires.
Dr Greif and other experts who focus on family relationships believe that it is possible to strengthen an adult sibling connection, even if you do not have the deep connection that Ms Findlay and Ms Rowe have.
28.What can we learn about Ms Findlay and Ms Rowe?
A.They enjoy early morning runs. B.They are twins and run a gift shop.
C.They live together after getting old. D.They have a very close relationship.
29.What does the author want to show by mentioning the 2019 study?
A.Reasons for adult loneliness. B.Benefits of adult sibling connections.
C.Ways adults get along with their siblings. D.Measures adults take to improve their well-being.
30.What might Dr Greif agree with?
A.Adult sibling relationships can be improved.
B.It is impossible for siblings to forget their arguments.
C.It is hard for adults to keep a lasting sibling relationship.
D.There is a standard for forming a healthy sibling relationship.
31.What is the best title for the text?
A.How to Be Friends with Your Sibling
B.The Lifelong Gift of Sibling Friendship
C.It’s Better for Siblings to Have a Shared Interest
D.Why It’s Important to Stay Close to Your Siblings
D
When kids melt down in the middle of a crowded store or at a holiday dinner with extended family, it can be extremely frustrating.But parents can help kids learn self-control and teach them how to respond without just acting on impulse (冲动).
Teaching self-control is one of the most important things that parents can do for their kids because these skills are some of the most important for success later in life.By learning self-control, kids can make appropriate decisions and respond to stressful situations in ways that can yield positive outcomes.For example, if you say that you’re not serving ice cream until after dinner, your child may cry, plead, or even scream in the hopes that you will give in.But with self-control, your child can understand that a temper tantrum (发脾气) means you’ll take away the ice cream for good and that it’s wiser to wait patiently.
Difficult as it may be, resist the urge to yell when you’re disciplining your kids.Instead, be persistent and matter of fact.During a child’s meltdown, stay calm and explain that yelling, throwing a tantrum, and slamming doors are unacceptable behaviours that have consequences.Your actions will show that tantrums won’t get kids the upper hand.For example, if your child gets, upset in the grocery store after you’ve explained why you won’t buy candy, don’t give in — thus demonstrating that the tantrum was both unacceptable and ineffective.Also, consider speaking to your child’s teachers about classroom settings and appropriate behaviour expectations.Ask if problem-solving is taught or demonstrated in school.
And model good self-control yourself.If you’re in an annoyed situation in front of your kids, tell them why you’re frustrated and then discuss potential solutions to the problem.For example, if you’ve misplaced your keys, instead of getting upset, tell your kids the keys are missing and then search for them together.If they don’t turn up, take the next constructive step.Show that good emotional control and problem-solving are the ways to deal with a difficult situation.
32.What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?
A.Impulsive responses lead to frustration.
B.Kids’ melting down is a common phenomenon.
C.Parents should help kids make decisions appropriately.
D.Teaching kids self-control is a must for their future success.
33.What is the parents’ best attitude towards a child’s meltdown?
A.Firm and factual. B.Calm and tolerant.
C.Cautious and objective. D.Annoyed and disapproving.
34.Which of the following best explains the underlined part in Paragraph 3?
A.Emotional outburst is unexpected behaviours.
B.Kids shouldn’t be responsible for their behaviours alone.
C.Temper loss won’t give the kids a position of advantage.
D.Tantrums are ineffective in interpersonal communications.
35.What message is conveyed in the last paragraph?
A.Slow and steady wins the race. B.Good example is the best sermon.
C.Experience is the mother of wisdom. D.Success comes from thorough self-control.

The unconditional love of a dog for anyone who shows it even a little kindness has earned it the name of “Man’s Best Friend”.Often,it’s a dog’s tale of loyalty that teaches us humans the meaning of the word.So many stories tell us about dogs that traveled great distances to be reunited with their owners. 36 Here are some tips that can help you.
Learn to communicate with your dog. 37 For example, learn to read its body language and behavior, and understand its likes and dislikes.This will help you communicate with your dog well.
38 This means that you should stay with your dog more often and do things it enjoys.In this way, you’ll get to know it better and improve your communication.
Go to your dog’s heart through its stomach.Remember the dog doesn’t know the monetary (钱的) value of food, so putting a little effort and smell into the food can make your dog happier. 39 Your dog’s depending on you for food will help you to draw its attention at all times.
Always remain calm with your dog. 40 Thus, keep calm and don’t punish your dog when it disappoints you.Reward your dog for its good behavior.This will make it repeat that more often.
A.Spend some time every day with your dog.
B.Try to learn as much as possible about your dog.
C.If your dog sees signs of anger, it may get angry, too.
D.Hand feeding your dog, at times, can also go a long way.
E.If you build a good relationship with your dog, you’ll have a friend for life.
F.While telling a dog not to do something, suggest what it is supposed to do.
G.Both you and your dog need to try your best to make the relationship grow.

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。
The woman speaking to me at the basketball game looked quite familiar.She said, “Joe?Is that you?”
“Marci?”
“It is you!” she said, smiling widely.“It’s good to see you again!”
It was good to see Marci, too.Off and on during the past ten years, I’d wondered about her.I almost tried to find her a few years ago, after a friend told me that Marci had been going through a hard time.So running into her at the basketball game was, at the very least, unexpected.
We spent a few minutes catching up on the business of our lives:kids, work, houses, education and hobbies, etc.We played a little “Have you seen ...?” and “Did you know ...?” And we talked about the old days, both good and bad.
Then Marci grew quiet for a while, looking out over the people moving around.“You know, Joe,” she said,“I’ve always wanted to tell you ...how ...you know ...how sorry I am for the way I treated you.”
I felt a little uncomfortable, remembering how Marci had broken up with me without any warning.
“It’s okay,” I said.“No big deal.”At least, I thought to myself, not anymore.
“But I was such a bad person,” she continued, lowering her head.
Yes, you were, I thought.“We were both pretty young,” I said.
“I know,” she said.“But that’s no excuse for ...” She hesitated (迟疑), and then continued.“I’ve always regretted it, remembering how mean I was to you.And I’ve wanted to tell you that I’m sorry and ask for your forgiveness (原谅).So ...I’m sorry.”
The smile on her face was warm and sincere.And there was something in her eyes — it looked a lot like relief (解脱) — that washed away my anger and hate that may have built up within me during the years since she had broken my heart.
注意:1.续写词数应为 150 左右;2.请按如下格式作答。
“Okay, apology accepted!” I said.
We all bear wounds that others have caused us.

24.D 细节理解题。根据第二、三段内容可知,MJHS医疗系统是一家大型的医疗保健提供商,其医疗结算单应有统一规范,不会有个性化的设计,所以当Morrow看到信封上画着音符时,感到很意外。
25.B 词义猜测题。根据第五至七段内容可知,在接下来的每个月,Morrow收到的装结算单的信封上都画着画,她觉得这太不可思议了,于是致电MJHS医疗系统,问他们的结算部门中是否有人碰巧是艺术家。由此推断,作画者未在信封上留下姓名,Morrow并不知道作画的人是谁,这些画是一位“匿名”艺术家为她创作的独特艺术品。nameless匿名的。
26.A 推理判断题。根据第五段内容可知,Margolis每次在信封上作不同的画,她很有创造性;根据第八段中的she believed she could use her drawings to help people heal (康复).She said she enjoys making people happy可知,Margolis在信封上作画为的是让收信人高兴,从而帮助他们康复,这说明她心地善良。
27.C 目的意图题。根据倒数第二段最后一句可知,Morrow说这次展览真正展示的是善良的治愈力量。由此推断,这次展览的目的是鼓励友善和关爱他人。

第四部分
第一节
Dear David,
It’s common that conflicts may happen in friendships.I definitely know how you feel because I used to have this kind of trouble too.To save my friendship, I had an open and honest talk with my friend without hesitation.
Since you don’t want to let go of your friendship, I think you’d better communicate with him to clear up the misunderstanding.Listen to what he wants to say and express your feeling clearly as well.
I hope my suggestions can be of help.I’m sure that you can fix this.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
“Okay, apology accepted!” I said.Moved by the sweetness of the moment, I reached an arm around her shoulder and gave her a quick hug.Just then, people around us raised a huge cheer, and Marci and I both returned our attention to the game.By the time I looked over to where she had been, she was gone.But the warm, wonderful feeling of our brief exchange was still there and continues to this day whenever I think about it.
We all bear wounds that others have caused us.However, forgiveness can bring peace to a wounded heart — even years after the fact.Even at a basketball game.Seeing Marci again after so many years also let me know that time has a way of softening the old pain.I was impressed by her sincerity and the courage it took for her to apologize.It is never too late to apologize and letting go of anger and hate can help you find peace within yourself.

three years ago is still good.
(Text 3)
M:Your skirt is quite beautiful in color, isn’t it?
W:Yes, I bought it at a sale for half price.It cost me $12.
(Text 4)

it?

(Text 5)
M:I hear you are going to drive to New York this weekend.
W:Oh, I’ve changed my mind.
M:What?
W:I think flying will be more comfortable.
(Text 6)

South America?
M:Well, I’ve traveled to Brazil on business twice and I’d really like
to go there a third time.
W:Great! There will be a flight on 25 October and ...
M:Flight? Forget that! I am afraid of flying.
W:Oh, how about traveling by ship?
M:Sorry, my wife is seasick.
W:What about a coach tour? It includes many interesting places and

W:OK, it’s a deal!

A few years ago, Melody Morrow of New York City hurt her foot
and needed treatment.However, she said what really made her feel better
was receiving and paying the bill.
“On the front of the envelope, it had these little musical notes,”
Morrow told CBS News of the billing statement she received in the mail,
a play on her name, “Melody.”
MJHS Health System is a large health care provider, so personal
touches on billing statements aren’t usually its thing.
“And then it began,” Morrow said.
Every month after that, her billing statement from MJHS arrived in
the mail with a new drawing.The drawings started out simple, like a
musical symbol.But as the months progressed, the envelopes got more
and more detailed.This unique artwork was created by an anonymous
artist just for her.
“It was unbelievable,” Morrow said.
Finally, Morrow called MJHS, and asked if there was anyone in
the billing team who happened to be artistic.The phone went quiet, and
then she heard:“Hey Emily, it’s for you.”
Accounting clerk Emily Margolis is hardly a frontline caregiver, but
she believed she could use her drawings to help people heal (康复).She
said she enjoys making people happy.
Morrow was very thankful, and Margolis decided to further her
game.She began taking Morrow’s mailings home at night and spent
hours turning those simple white business envelopes into amazing
creations.
“Then I started adding rhinestones (莱茵石),” Margolis
said.“And I experimented with gold leaf.That was fun.”
Finally came the last mailing, but not the end of the story.Morrow
and Margolis became friends and are now working together on an exhibit
at a Manhattan coffee shop that shows Margolis’ envelope
creations.However, Morrow said what is really on show here is the
healing power of kindness.
“This was a stranger,” Morrow said.“And she was doing that
just for me.And that’s the beauty of it.”
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。Emily Margolis在寄给Melody
Morrow的医疗结算单的信封上作画,以鼓励她康复。
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。Emily Margolis在寄给Melody
Morrow的医疗结算单的信封上作画,以鼓励她康复。
24. What surprised Morrow when she received the first mail?
A. The high numbers on her bill.
B. A copy of her medical records.
C. A picture of herself in the hospital.
D. The musical notes on the envelope.
解析: 细节理解题。根据第二、三段内容可知,MJHS医疗系
统是一家大型的医疗保健提供商,其医疗结算单应有统一规范,
不会有个性化的设计,所以当Morrow看到信封上画着音符时,感
到很意外。
25. What does the underlined word “anonymous” in Paragraph 5
mean?
A. Humorous. B. Nameless.
C. Famous. D. Tireless.
解析: 词义猜测题。根据第五至七段内容可知,在接下来的
每个月,Morrow收到的装结算单的信封上都画着画,她觉得这太
不可思议了,于是致电MJHS医疗系统,问他们的结算部门中是否
有人碰巧是艺术家。由此推断,作画者未在信封上留下姓名,
Morrow并不知道作画的人是谁,这些画是一位“匿名”艺术家为
她创作的独特艺术品。nameless匿名的。
26. Which of the following can best describe Margolis?
A. Creative and kind-hearted.
B. Curious and hard-working.
C. Honest and confident.
D. Brave and strong.
解析: 推理判断题。根据第五段内容可知,Margolis每次在信
封上作不同的画,她很有创造性;根据第八段中的she believed
she could use her drawings to help people heal (康复).She said she
enjoys making people happy可知,Margolis在信封上作画为的是让
收信人高兴,从而帮助他们康复,这说明她心地善良。
27. What is the purpose of the exhibit in Morrow’s eyes?
A. To make Margolis happy.
B. To collect money for patients.
C. To encourage kindness and care.
D. To deepen her friendship with Margolis.
解析: 目的意图题。根据倒数第二段最后一句可知,Morrow
说这次展览真正展示的是善良的治愈力量。由此推断,这次展览
的目的是鼓励友善和关爱他人。
C
Sisters Audrey Findlay, 75, and Barbara Rowe, 63, start every
weekday with an 8 a.m. phone call.An hour or so later, they head to
work together at Findlay Rowe, the gift shop they opened 12 years ago.
At 5 or 6 p.m., the sisters leave work and head to their
homes.They meet up again after dinner and take an hourlong walk,
slipping into what their adult children call their “twin talk”.
“One of us will begin a sentence, not finish it, and the other will
already be answering,” Ms Findlay said.
More than 80 per cent of Americans grow up with at least one sibling
(兄弟姐妹), and research suggests those relationships can offer
advantages into adulthood.A 2019 study that focused on people in their
mid-60s, for example, found that warmth between adult siblings may
help fight against loneliness and improve well-being.
While there isn’t a lot of research on how well most adults get along
with their siblings, numbers from the 2015 book Adult Sibling
Relationships present some clues.In interviews with 262 adults, 64 per
cent said they considered themselves to be a “good friend” to at least
one of their siblings, and 45 per cent said they considered at least one of
their siblings to be among their best friends.
“Yet 70 per cent said they had ups and downs with their siblings over
the course of their lives,” said Dr Geoffrey Greif, co-author of the
2015 book, “and 8 per cent said they were never close.”
“Sibling relationships, like all family relationships, have some
ambivalence (矛盾情绪),” Dr Greif said — an obvious statement,
but one he believes is important for siblings to bear in mind, so they
don’t set an “impossible standard” for what a solid (牢固的)
relationship requires.
Dr Greif and other experts who focus on family relationships believe
that it is possible to strengthen an adult sibling connection, even if you do
not have the deep connection that Ms Findlay and Ms Rowe have.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了成年兄弟姐妹之间的友
谊大有裨益。
28. What can we learn about Ms Findlay and Ms Rowe?
A. They enjoy early morning runs.
B. They are twins and run a gift shop.
C. They live together after getting old.
D. They have a very close relationship.
解析: 细节理解题。根据第一至三段内容可知,Ms Findlay和
Ms Rowe两姐妹的关系十分亲密。
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了成年兄弟姐妹之间的友
谊大有裨益。
29. What does the author want to show by mentioning the 2019 study?
A. Reasons for adult loneliness.
B. Benefits of adult sibling connections.
C. Ways adults get along with their siblings.
D. Measures adults take to improve their well-being.
解析: 推理判断题。根据第四段中的A 2019 study ...found
that warmth between adult siblings may help fight against loneliness
and improve well-being.可知,作者提及该研究是为了表明成年兄
弟姐妹之间相互联系的益处。
30. What might Dr Greif agree with?
A. Adult sibling relationships can be improved.
B. It is impossible for siblings to forget their arguments.
C. It is hard for adults to keep a lasting sibling relationship.
D. There is a standard for forming a healthy sibling relationship.
解析: 细节理解题。根据最后一段内容可知,Dr Greif认为成
年兄弟姐妹间的关系是可以改进的。
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. How to Be Friends with Your Sibling
B. The Lifelong Gift of Sibling Friendship
C. It’s Better for Siblings to Have a Shared Interest
D. Why It’s Important to Stay Close to Your Siblings
解析: 标题归纳题。通读全文可知,作者通过描述Ms Findlay
和Ms Rowe两姐妹的亲密关系,介绍了成年兄弟姐妹相互联系的
益处。再结合第四段中提到的2019年的研究发现以及最后一段中
Dr Greif和其他专家的看法可知,B项(兄弟姐妹之间的友谊是一
份终生的礼物)为本文最佳标题。
D
When kids melt down in the middle of a crowded store or at a holiday
dinner with extended family, it can be extremely frustrating.But parents
can help kids learn self-control and teach them how to respond without just
acting on impulse (冲动).
Teaching self-control is one of the most important things that parents
can do for their kids because these skills are some of the most important
for success later in life.By learning self-control, kids can make
appropriate decisions and respond to stressful situations in ways that can
yield positive outcomes.For example, if you say that you’re not serving
ice cream until after dinner, your child may cry, plead, or even
scream in the hopes that you will give in.But with self-control, your
child can understand that a temper tantrum (发脾气) means you’ll
take away the ice cream for good and that it’s wiser to wait patiently.
Difficult as it may be, resist the urge to yell when you’re
disciplining your kids.Instead, be persistent and matter of fact.During a
child’s meltdown, stay calm and explain that yelling, throwing a
tantrum, and slamming doors are unacceptable behaviours that have
consequences.Your actions will show that tantrums won’t get kids the
upper hand.For example, if your child gets, upset in the grocery store
after you’ve explained why you won’t buy candy, don’t give in —
thus demonstrating that the tantrum was both unacceptable and
ineffective.Also, consider speaking to your child’s teachers about
classroom settings and appropriate behaviour expectations.Ask if problem-
solving is taught or demonstrated in school.
And model good self-control yourself.If you’re in an annoyed
situation in front of your kids, tell them why you’re frustrated and then
discuss potential solutions to the problem.For example, if you’ve
misplaced your keys, instead of getting upset, tell your kids the keys
are missing and then search for them together.If they don’t turn up,
take the next constructive step.Show that good emotional control and
problem-solving are the ways to deal with a difficult situation.

The unconditional love of a dog for anyone who shows it even a little
kindness has earned it the name of “Man’s Best Friend”.Often,it’s
a dog’s tale of loyalty that teaches us humans the meaning of the
word.So many stories tell us about dogs that traveled great distances to be
reunited with their owners. 36 Here are some tips that can help you.
Learn to communicate with your dog. 37 For example, learn to
read its body language and behavior, and understand its likes and
dislikes.This will help you communicate with your dog well.
38 This means that you should stay with your dog more often and
do things it enjoys.In this way, you’ll get to know it better and improve
your communication.
Go to your dog’s heart through its stomach.Remember the dog
doesn’t know the monetary (钱的) value of food, so putting a little
effort and smell into the food can make your dog happier. 39 Your
dog’s depending on you for food will help you to draw its attention at all
times.
Always remain calm with your dog. 40 Thus, keep calm and
don’t punish your dog when it disappoints you.Reward your dog for its
good behavior.This will make it repeat that more often.
A. Spend some time every day with your dog.
B. Try to learn as much as possible about your dog.
C. If your dog sees signs of anger, it may get angry, too.
D. Hand feeding your dog, at times, can also go a long way.
E. If you build a good relationship with your dog, you’ll have a friend
for life.
F. While telling a dog not to do something, suggest what it is supposed
to do.
G. Both you and your dog need to try your best to make the relationship
grow.

第二节(满分25分)
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。
The woman speaking to me at the basketball game looked quite
familiar.She said, “Joe?Is that you?”
“Marci?”
“It is you!” she said, smiling widely.“It’s good to see you
again!”
It was good to see Marci, too.Off and on during the past ten years,
I’d wondered about her.I almost tried to find her a few years ago, after
a friend told me that Marci had been going through a hard time.So running
into her at the basketball game was, at the very least, unexpected.
We spent a few minutes catching up on the business of our lives:
kids, work, houses, education and hobbies, etc.We played a little
“Have you seen ...?” and “Did you know ...?” And we talked
about the old days, both good and bad.
Then Marci grew quiet for a while, looking out over the people
moving around.“You know, Joe,” she said,“I’ve always wanted
to tell you ...how ...you know ...how sorry I am for the way I treated
you.”
I felt a little uncomfortable, remembering how Marci had broken up
with me without any warning.
“It’s okay,” I said.“No big deal.”At least, I thought to
myself, not anymore.
“But I was such a bad person,” she continued, lowering her
head.
Yes, you were, I thought.“We were both pretty young,” I
said.
“I know,” she said.“But that’s no excuse for ...” She
hesitated (迟疑), and then continued.“I’ve always regretted it,
remembering how mean I was to you.And I’ve wanted to tell you that
I’m sorry and ask for your forgiveness (原谅).So ...I’m sorry.”
The smile on her face was warm and sincere.And there was
something in her eyes — it looked a lot like relief (解脱) — that
washed away my anger and hate that may have built up within me during
the years since she had broken my heart.
注意:1.续写词数应为 150 左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。
“Okay, apology accepted!” I said.
We all bear wounds that others have caused us.
参考范文:
“Okay, apology accepted!” I said.Moved by the sweetness of
the moment, I reached an arm around her shoulder and gave her a quick
hug.Just then, people around us raised a huge cheer, and Marci and I
both returned our attention to the game.By the time I looked over to where
she had been, she was gone.But the warm, wonderful feeling of our
brief exchange was still there and continues to this day whenever I think
about it.
We all bear wounds that others have caused us.However,
forgiveness can bring peace to a wounded heart — even years after the
fact.Even at a basketball game.Seeing Marci again after so many years
also let me know that time has a way of softening the old pain.I was
impressed by her sincerity and the courage it took for her to apologize.It is
never too late to apologize and letting go of anger and hate can help you
find peace within yourself.
