people who forgive report more energy, better appetite and better sleep patterns. people who forgive show _33_ (little) anger and more hopefulness, says dr. frederic luskin, who wrote the book forgive for good. so it can help reduce the tiredness out of the immune system and allow people to feel more energetic. _34_ when someone has hurt you, calm yourself first. take a couple of breaths and think of something _35_ gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love. dont wait for an _36_ (apologize). many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing, says dr. luskin. they may have wanted to hurt you or they just dont see things _37_ 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 _38_ (accept) the action of the person who upset you. instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. finally, try to see things _39_ the other persons perspective. you may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance. to gain perspective, you may want to write a letter to _40_ from that persons point of view.四、阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)awe are

abilities that determine the exact location of distant objects as well as monitor the speed and direction of moving objectsthe software could eventually allow smartphone-armed soldiers to target the location of their enemieson the home front, the software could be used by everyone, including golfers judging distance to the green and biologists documenting the location of a rare animal without disturbing itthe great advantage of a smartphone is that it provides so many tools in a single, readily available, relatively inexpensive package, said qia wang, a doctoral student who led the development of the softwarefor example, on the battlefield, a soldier needs a rangefinder, compass, gps and other tools to get information before calling in an air strikewith our software, the soldier can have all those instruments in one device that can be purchased off the shelfwhen that soldier returns from war, she can use the same software to protect her family by clocking a speeder near her childrens school and catching the criminal on videowang and his colleagues developed their software to locate and track:targets of known size when the size of the target is known, a single image is enough to pinpoint the targets locationtargets of unknown size if the exact size of a target is unknown, the software uses two images to triangulate the location of the targetmoving targets by taking a short video of a moving target, the smartphone software can calculate how fast the target is moving and in what direction it is goingcurrently, our software is limited by the physical abilities of smartphone hardware, but the devices are improving rapidly, wang said. “we expect that improvements in gps accuracy, battery life and camera resolution will allow our software to make even more accurate observations51. from paragraph l we can know that the new software can _. adetermine the speed of moving objectsblocate objects in the distance exactlycdefend soldiers against their enemies

potentialctargeting and tracking with smart phonesdsmartphone - armed soldiers on the battlefielddin modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity. others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.i have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. for them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. in their single-minded pursuit of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.however, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. in a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. teaching these young people, i often observe in them a desire to fail. they seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. by not trying, they always have an excuse: “i may have lost, but it doesnt matter because i really didnt try.” what is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. such a loss would be a measure of their worth. clearly, this belief is the same as that of true competitors who try to prove themselves. both are based on the mistaken belief that ones self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. both are afraid of not being valued. only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve (缓解) can we discover a new meaning in competition.56. what does this passage mainly talk about?a. competition helps to set up self-respect.b. opinions about competition are different among people.c. competition is harmful to personal quality development.d. failures are necessary experience in competition.57. why do some people favor competition according to the passage?a. it pushes society forward.b. it builds up a sense of duty.c. it improves personal abilities.d. it encourages individual efforts.58. the underlined phrase “the most vocal” in paragraph 3 means _.a. those who try their best to winb. those who value competition most highlyc. those who are against competition most stronglyd. those who rely on others most for success59. what is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a “desire to fail”?a. ones worth lies in his performance compared with others.b. ones success in competition needs great efforts.c. ones achievement is determined by his particular skills.d. ones success is based on how hard he has tried.60. which point of view may the author agree to?a. every effort should be paid back.b. competition should be encouraged.c. winning should be a life-and-death matter.d. fear of failure should be removed in competition.五、信息匹配。（共10分）下面是各留学国家的资讯及其学位申请者的信息，请阅读下列资讯和申请人的信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请将答题卡上对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。首先，请阅读以下留学国家的信息：athe us has always been on the top destination list for chinese
