A

Every one of us has been hurt by others – either by their words or actions. In those moments, you may feel so much anger that you want to hurt the other person too.

But we all know that revenge(报复) doesn’t get us anywhere. So, in order to live a happy life, the best way to deal with the problem is, perhaps, as the old saying goes, to “forgive and forget”.

The wisdom of this saying has even been proven in scientific studies. “It is well established that learning to forgive others can have positive benefits for one’s physical and mental Health,”Saima Noreen, a scientist at the University of St Andrews, Uk, told the Huffington Post.

And now, Noreen and her research team may have found one more reason that you should stick to this principle – forgiving somebody who has hurt you makes it easier for you to forget the unhappy memory, according to their new study.

In the study, researchers asked volunteers to read descriptions of 40 different situations that contained bad actions such as stealing, lying and cheating. Volunteers then had to decide whether they would be able to forgive the person if they were the victims.

Two weeks later, volunteers took part in a memory test. In the test, they were shown a series of words related to the situations they’d read about and were asked to recall certain ones and forget others.

The results showed that people were less likely to remember the details of the unpleasant experiences if they had found forgiveness in their hearts. In contrast(相比之下)，if they hadn’t forgiven the mistake, they could always recall what had happened, even if they were told to forget it.

According to Noreen, our abilities to overcome strong emotions against someone and to deliberately(刻意地) forget about bad memories are linked to the same mechanism(构造)in our brains. And it might be this mechanism that connects forgiveness to forgetting.

33.The underline word “recall” in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to ______. A. translate B. focus

onC. remember D. explain

34.Which of the following is the right order of the study mentioned above? a. Take a memory test.b. Imagine being a victim

A. Forgiving helps us to forget unhappy memories.B. Forgiving is good for our physical and mental health.

C. Forgiving when others once hurt you could help you live a happier life. D.A certain mechanism in our brains connects forgiveness to forgetting. 第二节：七选五

It’s a common situation to start a day ---- you struggle to get out of bed in the morning, feeling tired and weak.

You’re not alone. As a recent article in The Huffington Post point out, today so many of us struggle with not getting enough sleep that we become really tired. 36 So, we are “t’wired” ---- tired and wired (极度兴奋的) at the same time.

It is a “relentless(无休无止的) lifestyle”, according to The Huffington Post. We are lost in information and entertainment choices. 37 We are walking, talking, typing and thinking faster and faster.

38 -- how to truly rest, noted Rubin Naiman, a writer for Psychology Today magazine. “We commonly confuse rest with having fun. Catching a movie, going dancing or watching a TV show may be enjoyable and refreshing (放松的) --- but they’re not true rest,” he said.

39

First slow and then stop, suggested The Huffington Post. We should “turn off the cell phone and computer before going to bed.” Said the Daily Mail.

40 We need to do “a daily practice such as meditation(冥想), yoga or breathing exercises that slow the body and mind”, said Naiman.

“In a world gone mad with high speed, practicing true rest is a subversive(颠覆性的) act,” noted The Huffington Post. It invites us to march to a different drum, to the beats of nature.

A. True rest is about finding a state of inner peace. B. We often run after fame and ignore people around us. C. We feel a need to always be active and productive. D. You can’t imagine how much fun true rest can bring us. E. So how can we become less tired and more well-rest?

F. But, the problem is, too many of us have forgotten how to rest. G. Meanwhile, our fast modern lifestyle drive us to feel wide awake. 第二部分完形填空（共20小题；每小题1. 5分，满分30分）
