24、   Is there someone you hate? Well, maybe you don't really hate them. But you get really angry every time you think of them. If you don't let this anger go, it can turn into bitterness (痛苦).

Bitterness appears when we can't forgive  (原谅) someone who has hurt us or made us angry.

Someone might say or do something that hurts us. But instead of controlling the anger, we keep it deep inside. Before long, a bitter feeling begins to grow. We may think we're hurting that person by criticizing (指责) him or her often, but we're really only hurting ourselves.

Bitterness can not only lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, but also hurt our relationships with friends and family members. No one enjoys being around an angry person for very long.

If you see bitterness in your life, here are some ways to deal with it.

●Accept it

Instead of trying to deny your anger, make it clear to yourself and accept it. See your anger for what it is and quickly deal with it.

●Stop making excuses for it

You may feel you have a right to be angry. You may think you're right and the other person is wrong. You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look bad. But in the end, bitterness hurts you much more than the other person. The bitterness will hold you back, and the other person will go on with his or her life.

●Forgive and forget it

You probably can't completely put the anger out of your mind. But you can decide to forgive the other person. Forget it and move on. You'll enjoy better health and peace of mind.

【1】According to the passage, we might get angry when someone ________.

A.holds us back B.forgets us C.doesn't like us D.does hurt us

【2】Bitterness comes from________.

A.our health problems like heart disease B.the anger that lives deep inside our mind

【3】The best way to deal with the bitterness is to ________.

A.make the person who hurts us look bad B.hate the person who hurts us very often

C.accept that you are hurting the other person D.forgive the person who hurts us and forget it

【4】What can we learn from the passage?

A.We should enjoy someone who hurts us.

B.We should pay more attention to our friends.

C.The peace of mind is more important than the hurt itself.

D.It's better to let bitterness go along with the other person.

27、   Social Media… the Highs and Lows

Twenty years ago, the idea of sharing our lives so openly with the world was unheard of. However, for young people today it is considered completely normal to share pictures of their lives and interact online every day. Fans of social media point out that the world has never been so connected as it has allowed people to make friends, learn about the world and celebrate life.

However, many people have concerns about the effects of this new way of living, particularly around the amount and type of information that is shared so openly.

Now researchers have found that too much time on social media may indeed have some negative( 消极的 ) effects. They measured people’s attitudes and feelings before and after browsing social media sites. They found that the more time people spent on social media, the more unhappy they became.

There are a number of reasons for this. When browsing social media, people often see photographs and stories showing beautiful holidays, fun parties and fashionable clothes. People seldom post negative stories or bad pictures, so it can be misleading. For those looking at these pictures and comparing them to their own lives, they can end up feeling sad and depressed. They might think their lives are worse in comparison. Even for those people who post positive(积极的) stories and pictures, they too can feel stressed and worried.

The number of “likes” and comments on their posts can make them worried about their popularity. Of course, there is also the problem of “cyber bullying”(网络暴力 ) where people become victims of bullying online when others make negative or cruel comments(评论) about them.

The reality is that social media is a part of modern life and it is not going to go away.  This research shows us that it is important to deal with the relationship between our online and offline lives properly. We don’t have to disconnect from the Internet to live a happy life, but we should realise that the pictures we see and stories we read are only part of a bigger picture. If we can do that, we can protect ourselves and enjoy our lives.

【1】According to the passage, we know __________.

A.spending more time on social media makes people more enjoyable

B.researchers haven’t found anything negative about social media

C.it is common for young people to share their lives online

D.the world is not so connected like before

【2】The words “have concerns about” in Paragraph 2 probably mean “__________”.

A.feel worried about B.look forward to

C.speak highly of D.get used to

【3】The writer says that social media can make people unhappy because __________.

A.different people make different comments

B.there are many negative stories and bad pictures

C.they compare positive pictures to their own lives

D.the number of “likes” is larger than they expected

【4】What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?

A.To ask us to protect ourselves from “cyber bullying”.

B.To advise us to keep away from the Internet to live a happy life.

C.To remind us of posting positive stories and good pictures online.

D.To tell us to keep a balance between our online and offline lives.

28、One morning, when I was leaving for my business, a middle-aged man came up and asked me for help. He said he had no 【1】 to get food for his large family.

“You look 【2】. Why don’t you work?” I asked. “Simply because I cannot get work, sir.” he answered.

“OK. I’ll give you one pound an hour, if you will carry a brick(砖) under your arm and walk around the square for five hours 【3】 stopping.” I said. He agreed. Then I found a brick and started him on his walk before I went to my business. I never thought he would do 【4】 he had promised.

When I came back five hours later, I saw him still 【5】, with the brick under his arm. I stopped him and gave him five pounds. He thanked me and told me that some people had offered to help him when they knew why he was doing all this. He would go and ask them for work. Before leaving, he asked if I would give him 【6】 brick. I did.

Several years 【7】, a well-dressed man greeted me on a train. He told me that he was the brick man and had 【8】 own business now. “I still keep that brick and always value it as the most important thing I have because it has 【9】me good luck and success.”

In fact, it was not the brick that made the man successful, 【10】 his faithfulness(坚定) in doing even a very little thing.
