Forgiveness
To forgive is a virtue, 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.
1 Try the following steps：
Calm yourself. 2 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 you does not intend to apologize.They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way. 3 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 caused you pain.Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. 4 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. 5 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.
【语篇解读】 文章介绍的是原谅的重要性。原谅他人是一种美德，但原谅他人不是一件容易的事情。文章给出了一些怎样原谅他人的方法。最后说到，自我原谅是最大的挑战。
1．解析：选B 根据“Try the following steps”试试以下措施，可知，前面问的是“应该怎样开始原谅他人呢？”，B项符合语境，故选B。
2．解析：选F “Calm yourself...take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure”首先要冷静，深呼吸，或者想象一些令人愉快的事情，F项“让愤怒逐渐消散，尝试一个简单的压力管理技巧”符合语境，故选F。
3．解析：选G “Don't wait for an apology.Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize.”不要等着他人道歉，伤害你的人不会想着向你道歉，由此可知，本段讲的是不能等着他人来给你道歉，G项“如果等他人来道歉，你可能会等相当长的时间”符合语境，故选G。
4．解析：选D “If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love.”如果你理解惹怒你的人，你可能会意识到他或她是无意伤害你的。D项“试着站在对方的角度思考问题”符合语境，故选D。
5．解析：选E 根据“Don't forget to forgive yourself.”要记得原谅你自己，E项“对一些人来说，自我原谅是最大的挑战”符合语境，故选E。
1．virtue n．美德； 德行
2．let go of 释放；放开

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
If there is one thing I'm sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers.It is not that newspapers are a necessity.Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio or the Internet.Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday.But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.
The nature of what is news may change.What basically makes news is what affects our lives—the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same.I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though.It's already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic (基因) engineering.In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do—as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.
It's quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home.In fact, I'm pretty sure how it will happen in the future.You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read—sports and international news, etc.
I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media (媒体)．They actually feed off each other.Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn't happened.What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air.And as for the Internet, it's never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.
【语篇解读】 本文提出报纸这一新闻媒体在近百年内不会消失的观点并分析了其原因。
1．What is the best title for the passage?
A．The Best Way to Get News
B．The Changes of Media
C．Make Your Own Newspaper
D．The Future of Newspaper
解析：选D 主旨大意题。由第一段首句可知：一百年后人们仍要读报，到后面文章讲到报纸跟人们生活的关系，报纸的形式和内容，可归纳出此题的答案为D。
2．In the writer's opinion, in the future, ________.
A．more big political affairs, wars and disasters will make news
B．newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longer
C．newspapers will cover more scientific research
D．more and more people will watch TV
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though.”可推知此题答案为C。
3．What will probably be on in the newspaper made by yourself?
A．Sports and international news.
B．A menu of important news.
C．The most important news.
D．What you are interested in.
解析：选D 推断判断题。从文章第三段最后一句“You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read...”可推知此题答案为D。
4．The phrase “feed off” in the last paragraph means ________.
A．depend on B．match with
C．fight with D．kill off
解析：选A 词义猜测题。作者上一句说人们错误地认为各种不同的媒体相互竞争，而下一句作者又说“They actually feed off each other.”(注意句中 actually 一词)，再结合所给的四个选项，可知选A合适。
B
I was ten when my family moved to a new place to live.We were total strangers to the new surroundings and I was too shy a kid to make new friends—so before going out into the street for the first time, I had to collect together all the courage I'd had, if I did have that all then.
It was a summer vacation, and there were lots of kids along the street, boys and girls, playing different games.As soon as I appeared on the porch(走廊), one of them shouted, “Look, there is a new boy！”，and they all suddenly seemed to have lost any interest in their activities.
In a second, dozens of curious eyes were focused on me.A deadly silence fell upon the place; they all turned towards me and stood still.Everyone seemed to be waiting for some sort of reaction from me.But as far as I was concerned, the situation was completely strange to me.I was frightened and terribly embarrassed, and I was about to rush back when another voice cried：“New boy, what's your name？”
I can still remember the challenge of overcoming the embarrassment when taking a deep breath.I called back loudly, “Hi, everybody, I'm Victor！”
Then I walked down from the porch and began to talk and play with them.In a quarter of an hour I learned the names of the boys I was playing with.In a couple of days I knew every kid in the community, and a bit later, I made friends with most of them.Gradually, my parents also got to know a lot of people there.We didn't feel strange in our new surroundings any more.
Since then, I have made it my principle to be the first to say “Hi” to a stranger who is new to my surroundings.
【语篇解读】 作者讲述了自己十岁时随家人搬到了一个陌生的地方遇到了陌生人的经历，得出结论：要做第一个和陌生人打招呼的人。
5．From the first paragraph, we know that ________.
A．it was the first time for the author to move
B．the author was worried about getting lost in the new place
C．the author didn't want to make new friends
D．the author tried to be brave to meet strangers
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据文中第一段的“so before going out into the street for the first time, I had to collect together all the courage I'd had, if I did have that all then”可知，作者尽量勇敢地与陌生人见面。
6．Which of the following sentences can be put into the blank in the last paragraph?
A．Then I will be terribly embarrassed.
B．And, as a rule, he or she may be frightened and run away.
C．So I can know his or her parents.
D．In this way, he or she can know something about me quickly.
解析：选D 推理判断题。通过作者对自己经历的讲述可知，见到陌生人时，首先开口会打破尴尬，与对方快速地熟悉起来。故选D项。
7．Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A．A Different Life in a New Place
B．The Friendship Between My New Friends and Me
C．Be the First to Say “Hi” to a Stranger
D．The Value of Making New Friends
解析：选C 标题归纳题。作者通过自己的经历告诉大家：见到陌生人时，要做第一个打招呼的人，这样能尽快地与对方熟悉起来，从而交到朋友。故选C项。
Ⅱ.短文改错

答案：

Section Ⅰ Introduction & Vocabulary and Reading
能力提升
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Do you enjoy reading？Do you read newspapers or magazines？Chances are, if you do any of these activities, your preschool child is on his way to becoming a reader.
The process of learning to read is complex, and one of the most important things to know is that parents can help their children learn to read.As children have conversations with adults, they hear both new and familiar words and their vocabulary grows.
There are many opportunities for adults and children to talk together, such as when riding in the car or in a bus, doing housework like fixing dinner, or bathing and getting ready for bed.A major part of conversation is listening.When children talk, adults listen and respond.Then children listen and respond, and so the flow of conversation happens.
Have you watched your preschool child pretend to read to his younger sisters or brothers？Have you read his favorite story over and over？These experiences tell children that reading is fun.And when things are fun and they are repeated, your child will see letters.He begins to connect them to familiar words, especially the letters that make up his name.A natural next step for him to take is to write the letters.
When children see parents make a grocery list, they want to use a pencil and paper to make their own list.To encourage these beginning writing activities, have pencils, markers, crayons and scrap paper within your children's reach.
The more children get connected with talking, listening, reading and writing, the easier it is for them to become active readers.While you as a parent have a big influence on these early behaviors, it is important to remember that opportunities for literacy experiences happen when you and your child share in the basic routines(日常生活) of everyday life.
【语篇解读】 本文主要就如何引导孩子们在日常生活中养成阅读的好习惯给出了一些建议。

A．during daily routines

2．During the process of learning to read, children may ________.
A．copy the action of the adults
B．prefer to talk with those of their own age
C．show no interest in reading at all

C．When they know what they want to know.

解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第四段最后两句可知，当孩子们能将字母与熟悉的单词联系起来的时候，下一步他们就想要学着写字了。

B．encourage parents to set a good example to their children

When the lazy days of summer arrive and the schedule is filled with swimming, camp, and family vacations, it can be a challenge to find time for learning.But kids' reading skills don't have to grow cold once school's out.Here are some ways to make reading a natural part of their summer fun.
Explore your library.Visit your local library to borrow books and magazines that your kids haven't seen before.Many libraries have summer reading programs, book clubs, and reading contests for even the youngest borrowers.With a new library card, a child will feel extra grownup by borrowing books.
Read on the road.Going on a long car trip？Make sure there are some books at the back seat.When you stop driving, read the books aloud.Get some audio books in libraries and listen to them together during driving time.
Make your own books.Pick one of your family's favorite parts of summer—whether it's baseball, ice cream, or the pool—and have your child draw pictures of it or cut out pictures from magazines.Stick the pictures onto paper to make a booklet(小册子)and write text for it.When you've done, read the booklet together. Reread it whenever you like!
Keep in touch.Kids don't have to go away to write about summer vacation.Even if your family stays home, they can send postcards to tell friends and relatives about their adventures.Ask a relative to be your child's pen pal and encourage them to write each week.
Keep up the reading habits.Even if everything else changes during the summer, keep up the reading habits around your house.Read with your kids every day—whether it's just before bedtime or under a shady tree on a lazy afternoon.And don't forget to take a book to the beach！Just brush the sand off the pages—it's no sweat!
【语篇解读】 暑假期间父母应该如何为孩子安排阅读， 养成阅读的好习惯呢？

The 2.____________ (own) stood there for a while.Finally he nodded, and showed me a plant on the counter.“I can give you this for 35 cents.”

【语篇解读】 本文讲述了母亲节要来了，“我”给妈妈送上最美丽的花，告诉妈妈“我”爱她。
1．解析：考查形容词。空后有名词flower，说明空处应该使用形容词修饰该名词，故填beautiful。
答案：beautiful
2．解析：考查名词。定冠词the的后面要接名词， owner“主人，拥有者”。
答案：owner
3．解析：考查动词的时态。根据时间状语tomorrow morning可知该句用将来时。句意：明天早晨你就发现最美丽的花了。
答案：will find
4．解析：考查副词。本句使用副词seriously修饰形容词sick。
答案：seriously
5．解析：考查代词。空后面使用了谓语动词waved，说明该句缺少主语，故填she。
答案：she
6．解析：考查定语从句。本句定语从句的先行词是the table，从句中缺少地点状语，故填关系副词where。
答案：where
7．解析：考查形容词最高级。句意：那里有一朵很大的黄色的花，是我曾经看到过的最美丽的花。根据句意可知使用最高级most。
答案：most
8．解析：考查名词。句意：当眼泪从脸颊流下的时候，她还在笑。tear“眼泪”，为可数名词，故用复数形式。

While you as a parent have a big influence on these early behaviors， it is important to remember that opportunities for literacy experiences happen when you and your child share in the basic routines?日常生活? of everyday life.
[分析] 本句为主从复合句。主句：it is important to...life，其中it是形式主语，真正的主语为to remember...life，其中when you and...life为时间状语从句。从句为while引导的让步状语从句。
[翻译] 虽然作为父母，你对这些早期行为有很大影响，但重要的是要记住，当你和孩子分享日常生活的基本活动时，识字体验的机会就出现了。
