35、d tear on our system,” says Dr. Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good.So when someone has hurt you, calm yourself first. Take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beatiful scene in nature, someone you love. Dont wait for an apology. “ Many times the person who

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

37、person who upset you. Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. Finally, try to see things from the other persons perspective.

41、following passage. When a consumer finds that an item he bought is faulty or doesn't live up to the manufacture's claim for it, the first step is to present the warranty (保单), or any other helpful records at the store of purchase. If this action doesnt work, there are various means that may

42、be used to gain satisfaction.A simple and common method is to complain directly to the store manager. Generally, the “higher up” the consumer takes his complaint, the faster he can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumer's favor, if he has a just claim.Comp

43、laining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item. If this cannot be done, he will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. The stor

44、e manager may advise the consumer to write to the manufacturer. If so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely as firmly as possible. But if a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go a step further. He can threaten to take the seller to court

45、or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting the consumers rights.49.When a consumer finds that his purchase has a fault in it, the first thing he should do is to _.A. threaten to take the matter to court B. complain personally to the managerC. show some writte
