  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 (原諒) someone who has hurt us or made us angry. Someone might say or do something that hurts us. And instead of resolving (化解) 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 (指責(zé)) 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 getting along with an angry person for 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. Face your anger 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 try right now and 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

   C. the person who says something that hurts us

   D. our relationships with friends and family members

(   ) 3. The word "deny" in the passage means "      ".

   A. 誤解   B. 否認(rèn)   C. 疏遠(yuǎn)   D. 減輕

(   ) 4. 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 so often

   C. accept that you are hurting the other person

   D. forgive the person who hurts us and forget it

(   ) 5. 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.

  Should calligraphy (書法) be taught at school?

  Although we are in an information age and most things can be found or done on computers,still we should go back to handwriting by using a brush and ink. Some people think students should study calligraphy at school. Calligraphy is part of our old culture. It dates back to early times. Traditional calligraphy is well worth learning. Chinese need to carry on with it. What's more,calligraphy is fine art,more than writing. Written Chinese is well known for its beauty. For example,every stroke (筆畫) of a character shows richness,feeling,energy and so on. Even foreigners enjoy looking at it for its beauty. If you are good at it,it is certainly a way of selfcultivation ( 陶冶自我) .It often helps build up one's personality. Are you going to learn it soon?

(   ) 1. Our time is called an information age.

(   ) 2. Calligraphy is part of Chinese culture.

(   ) 3. There is nothing in Chinese writing.

(   ) 4. Only foreigners enjoy the beauty of calligraphy.

(   ) 5. The writer thinks that calligraphy should be taught at school.
