(医学博士). the story doesnt end there. on his wedding day, dr. stoddard whispered in mrs. thompsons ear, “thank you, mrs. thompson, for believing in me. you made me feel important and showed me that i could make a difference.” mrs. thompson, with tears in her eyes, whispered back, “teddy, you have it all wrong. you were the one who taught me that i could make a difference. i didnt know how to teach until i met you.”24. what did mrs. thompson do on the first day of school?a. she told the class something untrue about herself.b. she asked the children to play with teddy.c. she changed teddys seat to the front row.d. she made teddy feel ashamed.25. what did mrs. thompson find out about teddy?a. he often told lies. b. he needed motherly care.c. he was good at math. d. he enjoyed playing with others.26. in what way did mrs. thompson change?a. she taught fewer school subjects.b. she became stricter with her students.c. she cared more about educating students.d. she no longer liked her job as a teacher.27. why did teddy thank mrs. thompson at his wedding?a. she had kept in touch with him. b. she had sent him christmas presents.c. she had given him encouragement. d. she had taught him how to judge people.cwhen someone has deeply hurt you, it can be very 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. “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(消耗) on our body and make people feel more energetic.” so when someone has hurt you, calm down first. take plenty of breath deeply and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love. dont wait for an apology. “many times the person who hurts you may never think of apologizing,” says dr. luskin. “they may have wanted to hurt you or they just dont 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 makes you angry. 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 persons perspective(视角). you may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance, fear, even love. to gain perspective, you may write a letter to yourself from that persons point of view. 28. the underlined word “grudge” in the first paragraph most probably means _.a. understandingb. forgivenessc. pityd. anger 29. according to the writer, what is the right way to calm down after being hurt?a. try to make sure why you get hurt.b. write a letter to the person who hurt you.c. think about pleasant things and forget about the hurt. d. tell yourself to accept what others have done to you.30. dr. luskin advises us not to wait for an apology after being hurt because _.a. people seldom want to apologizeb. wed feel worse accepting others apologyc. we are not patient enough d. people dont mean it when they apologize31. this passage is mainly written to explain _.a. how to keep yourself from being hurt b. why and how to forgive othersc. how and when to stay calm d. how to stay mentally healthyd “if you want to see a thing well, reach out and touch it!”that may seem a strange thing to say. but touching things can help you to see them better.your eyes can tell you that glass ball is round. but by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is. you can feel how heavy the glass is. when you feel all these about the ball, you really see it.with your skin, you can feel better. for example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. you can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too.you can even feel sounds against your skin. have you ever wanted to know why some people like very loud music?
