Do you want to hurt that person back, or do you hold it against them for the rest of your life? If you answered “yes” to these questions, know that you are like most people. To forgive is something that most people generally have difficulty with.People dont forgive readily, because it is easier to hate than to forgive. Some people think to forgive is a sign of weakness, but actually to forgive takes courage and effort.Forgiveness is a gift from a generous heart. It is not a reward for good behavior. It is not based on whether the person deserves it or whether the person has asked for it.Besides, forgiveness is an act and a process, which often takes time. The deeper your pain, the longer it usually takes to completely forgive. It is an act because it is not just the words you say, but also your actions which show if youve truly forgiven someone.Forgiveness is necessary because it releases you from the burden of bitterness and hate. It takes a lot of energy to hate and to keep that hate in place. Hate puts unnecessary stress on your body. It is a well-known fact, proven by numerous studies, that bitterness and hate can actually make you sick. The moment that affected people forgive and let go of their hate, they will start to get well. Forgiveness brings freedom, whereas revenge (报复) is neither sweet nor satisfying.I have personal experience of this. I used to be very cynical about life and didnt forgive easily. At the time, I also struggled in every area of my life. Things just didnt seem to work out for me. It is as if everything that could go wrong, always went wrong. That was until somebody told me to take a look at my attitude. And when I forgave those who wronged me and changed my attitude, everything else changed. It didnt happen overnight. It took a while, but I could see and feel the difference.Are things not working out in your life, despite you doing all the “right” things? Is it possible that you are holding “unforgiveness” in your heart? It is worth thinking about. By Leonard J. Roost58. Why is it hard for people to forgive?A. Forgiveness means not giving in.B. Forgiveness depends on good behavior.C. Forgiveness needs good will from both sides.D. Forgiveness requires courage and generosity.59. What can we conclude from the text?A. Hate may actually cause illness.B. Revenge helps to reduce the hate in your heart.C. When you feel sick, it makes it difficult to hate.D. Hate goes away when you say you will forgive.60. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage?A. B. C. D. I: Introduction P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C: ConclusionCEnvironmentalists said our planet was bound to die. Now one man says they are wrong. “Everyone knows the planet is in bad shape,” thundered a magazine article last year. “Species are being driven to die out at record rates, and the rivers are so poisonous that fish are floating on the surface, dead.”But theres growing belief that what everyone takes for granted is wrong: Things are actually getting better. A new book is about to overturn our most basic assumptions about the worlds environment. Rivers, seas, rain and the atmosphere are all getting better.The total amount of forests in the world is not declining. The Skeptical Environmentalist by Bjorn Lomborg, professor of statistics at the University of Aarhus in Denmark, is an attack on the misleading claims of environmental groups, and the “bad news” culture that makes people believe everything is getting worse.Now the attacks are increasingly coming from left-wing environmentalists such as Lomborg, a former member of Greenpeace. The accusation is that, although the environment is improving, green groups with profits of hundreds of millions of pounds a year are using scare tactics (战术) to gain donations. Lomborgs book doesnt deny global warming probably the biggest environmental threat but destroys almost every other environmental claim with many official statistics.The Worldwatch Institute claims that deforestation has been accelerating over the last 30 years. Buy Lomborg says that is simply rubbish. Since the dawn of agriculture the world has lost about 20% of its forest cover, but in recent decades the forest areas depleting has come to a stop. According to UN figures, the area of forests has remained almost steady, at about 30% of total land area, since 1940s. Forests in countries such as the US, UK and Canada have actually been expanding over the past 40 years. Despite all the warnings the Amazon rainforest has only shrunk by about 15%.Nor are all our species dying out. Some campaigners claim that 50% of all species will have died out within 50 years. But other studies show only 0.08% of species are dying out each year. Conservation efforts have been successful. Whales are no longer threatened and the bald eagle is off the endangered list.Environmental groups claim that many of the improvements are the results of their campaigns. Stephen Tindale, director of Greenpeace UK, said, “There are important examples, such as acid rain and ozone, where things werent as bad as predicted, and thats because our behaviour changed.”61. What is Lomborgs main argument in The Skeptical Environmentalist?A. Our planet is in bad shape.B. The worlds environment is improving.C. Conservation efforts have been successful.D. The total amount of forests in the world is not declining.62. What is Lomborgs main accusation of environmentalists?A. They changed their behaviour toward the environment.B. They only told people bad news about the environment.C. They scared people into making donations.D. They overturned our basic assumption about the worlds environment.63. The underlined word “depleting” is closes in meaning to “_”.A. acceleratingB. limitingC. expandingD. reducing64. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Are all species dying out?B. Isnt conservation powerful?C. Is Our Planet Bound to Die?D. Arent environmentalists wrong?DThe First HelloThe man from the telephone department got off the bus, and made his way to the tea stall, wiping the sweat off his head, face, then slipping his handkerchief under his shirt to wipe his neck and back. It was a year ago that the phone line had been installed, six months later men from the public works department had come to put up the phone booth a neat box-like structure, with a glass window, and wooden ledges, yellow in color. And days after that, a painter had taken an entire day to col
