Hating someone hurts one’s own health since it causes anger within， and this anger can harm one’s health if it builds too high. Health is wealth， and forgiveness (原谅) is the way to go. Forgiving someone will help to make you feel better and solve the problems about relationships. The following steps may help you：
Recognize the way. Many a time， we don’t know why we hate someone and continue to walk on a road that troubles one’s mental and physical health and happiness. We should be able to recognize the way first that you treat him / her when we come across a certain human being. Once we are able to recognize the way，we can then move on to the next step.
Find the cause. We should try to search within ourselves about what and how that person has hurt us，and why we hate them. Finding a cause helps us to bring closure within ourselves， and we can open up to discussion within ourselves， and even with the person whom we hate.
Face that person. Coming face-to-face with the person whom one hates is a challenge， but facing him / her will lead to peace of mind and a sound sleep at night. Brave up and face that person.
Start a conversation. Once in the presence of the person who is hated，start a conversation and communicate about what bothers you. Being frank about what and how that person’s behavior makes oneself angry will help both discuss problems， and will finally lead to clarification.
Say sorry to him/ her. Apologizing to the disliked person can do wonders for one’s physical and mental being，bringing happiness and satisfaction. Keeping one’s egos (自负) aside and expressing regret are the keys to forgiveness.
Once you forgive a person，be patient and kind to yourself. Express your pain and worries，and do not keep it bottled up. Thanks for the goodness of people around you，and imagine a new life with energy each day. This will help to shape each day free of pain.

Great white sharks have become well known in a bad way, for being scary. . However, you are more likely to be hit by lightning than attacked by a great white shark.
One reason why people don’t like great white sharks is that they are huge. They grow to be nearly 21 feet long and can weigh up to 5,000 pounds. That is about two cars long! But the size is not typical. Most great whites are smaller, about 10 to 15 feet long. .
Great whites are called apex predators（捕食者）because they are at the top of the food chain. They have no predators and aren’t that picky about what they eat. Great whites are known to eat fish, squid, other sharks, otters, turtles, dolphins, whales, seals, and sea lions.. Great whites also eat carrion, which is the remains of dead animals floating（漂浮）in the water.
. They have 3,000 teeth, and each is up to 3 inches long! Their very sharp teeth are shaped like triangles and have rough edges that tear into things. Great whites don’t even chew their food. They just swallow it down.
.
But, like other sharks, great whites don’t intentionally（主动地）eat or attack humans. So swim without fear.
| A．That’s still longer than one car, though. |
| B．Those last two kinds are their favourite food. |
| C．Movies and popular stories make them scary. |
| D．A big meal can satisfy a great white shark for about two months. |
E. Another reason why people fear great whites is their frightening teeth.

Some people say that today, reading is not as important as it was. These days we have photographs, films, radio and television. Why read a description of something when you can look at a photograph? Why read a newspaper when the latest news is brought to us every hour on radio and TV?
Photography was certainly a wonderful invention. Photographs can give a very clear idea of places and of people that we have never seen. An encyclopedia (百科全书) , for example, is always better when it has good illustrations. But we also need words to explain the photographs and drawings. A photograph of an elephant may give us a very good idea of what an elephant looks like, but it tells us nothing about the different sorts of elephants there are and where they are found, their exact size and weight, how they can be useful to man and so on.
In the same way, a good film has action, movement, color, and maybe music. These are things we do not find on the printed page. But reading a novel has certain advantages over watching even an excellent feature film. Reading a novel requires imagination. Each of us imagines a story differently.
Watching news on television can certainly be exciting. But we need newspapers as well. Some important news stories happen when there are no cameras around. More importantly, a newspaper does not just report the news. It explains why something has been happening. It also contains interesting articles on different subjects. Newspapers are an important part of our lives, if we want to understand what is going on in the places we live as well as in other parts of the world.
Reading is very important for information and pleasure. We need to be good readers to enjoy a full life as human beings. Reading is a skill and like other skills, it needs practice. The more we read, the better readers we become. And the better readers we become, the more we enjoy reading! The secret is to get the reading habit. Read at least a little every day.According to Paragraph 2, photographs can give us __________.
| A．enough information about people and places |
| B．no information about things |
| C．some information about things but not enough |
| D．the wrong information about things |
Newspapers contain __________.
| A．more information than television |
| B．less information than television |
| C．more news from other countries |
| D．less information about important events than TV |
What are the advantages of novel over a feature film?
| A．There are more interesting subjects in novels. |
| B．We do not hear any music in a novel. |
| C．Novels always explain what is happening. |
| D．Novels make us use our imagination. |
What does the author think about reading?
| A．It is a wonderful invention. |
| B．It is an important part of our lives. |
| C．It requires no practices. |
| D．It is not as important as television. |

Although most people believe that laughter is one of the nature’s great treatments for a whole range of mental and physical diseases, it is still a serious scientific subject that researchers are trying to figure out.
“Laughter above all else is a social thing,” says Baltimore neuroscientist(神经科学家), Robert Provine, who has studied laughter for many years. “All laughter groups laugh ‘ha-ha-ha’ basically the same way. Whether you speak Mandarin, French or English, everyone will understand laughter. There is a pattern generator(发生器) in our brain that produces this sound.”
Laughing is our first way of communicating. Babies laugh long before they speak. No one teaches them how to laugh. They just do. People may laugh at a prank(恶作剧) on April Fools’ Day. But surprisingly, only 10 to 15 percent of laughter is the result of someone making a joke. Laughter is mostly about social responses rather to a joke. Deaf people laugh without hearing and people on cell phones laugh without seeing, showing that laughter isn’t dependent on single sense but on social interactions.
And laughter is not just a people thing. Chimps tickle(挠痒) each other and even laugh when another chimp pretends to tickle them.
Jaak Panksepp, a Bowling Green University Psychology professor, studies rats that laugh when he tickles them. It turns out rats love to be tickled — they return again and again to the hands of researchers tickling them.
By studying rats, scientists can figure out what’s going on in the brain during laughter. Northwestern University biomedical engineering professor, Jeffrey Burgdorf has found that laughter in rats produces a chemical that acts as an antidepressant(抗抑郁药). He thinks the same thing probably happens in humans, too. This would give doctors a new chemical target to develop drugs that can fight depression.
Even so, laughter itself has not been proved to be the best medicine, experts said. Margaret Stuber, a professor at University of California, studied whether laugher helped patients. She found that distraction(分心) and mood improvement helped, but she could not find a benefit of laughter alone.
“No study has shown that laughter produces a direct health benefit,” Provine said, mainly because it’s hard to separate laughter from just feeling good. But he thinks it doesn’t really matter: “Isn’t the fact that laughter feels good when you do it enough?”The underlined word “figure out” in Paragraph 6 means “________”.
| A．deal with | B．work out |
| C．look out of | D．come up with |
According to the passage, scientists studied rats in order to find ______.
| A．how they laugh |
| B．if they like laughing |
| C．what laughter in rats produces |
| D．how rats react while being tickled |
What can we know from Robert Provine’s research?
| A．Laughter makes a person feel good. |
| B．Laughter produces a direct health benefit. |
| C．Laughter depends on all kinds of senses. |
| D．Laughter is a way of communicating. |
What is probably the best title for this passage?
| A．Why Rats Laugh |
| B．When Laughter Happens |
| C．How Laughter Works |
| D．Why Laughter Matters |
