    So many of us hold on to little complaints that may have come from an argument, a misunderstanding, the way we were raised, or some other painful events. Stubbornly, we wait for someone else to reach out to us—believing this is the only way we can forgive or rekindle a friendship or family relationship.

    A friend of mine, recently told me that she hadn't spoken to her son in almost three years. She said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldn't speak to him again unless he called first. When I suggested that she be the one to reach out, she said, “I can't do that. He's the one who should apologize.” After a little gentle encouragement, however, she did decide to be the first one to reach out. To her amazement, her son was grateful for her willingness to call and offered an apology of his own. As is usually the case when someone takes the chance and reaches out, everyone wins.

    Whenever we hold on to our anger, we turn “small stuff(问题)” into really “big stuff” in our minds. We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness. They are not. If you want to be a more peaceful person you must understand that being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy. The way to be happy is to let go, and reach out. Let other people be right. This doesn't mean that you're wrong. Everything will be fine. You'll experience the peace of letting go, as well as the joy of letting others be right.

    You'll also notice that, as you reach out and let others be “right，” they will become less defensive and more loving toward you. They might even reach back. But, if for some reason they don't, that's okay too. You'll have the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your part to create a more loving world, and certainly you'll be more peaceful yourself.

    1.The underlined word “rekindle” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”．

    A. recover B. develop

    C. accept D. replace

    2.In the author's opinion, we hold on to our anger often because we think ________.

    A. we can turn small issues into big ones

    B. our positions are higher than others

    C. our own opinions matter most

    D. others will be less defensive

    3.The best thing to do after a quarrel is to ______.

    A. let go of our own rights

    B. realize that you are wrong

    C. expect others to give in

    D. apologize to others first

    The Great Fire of London started in the very early hours of 2 September 1666．In four days it destroyed more than three-quarters of the old city, where most of the houses were wooden and close together．Over one hundred people became homeless, but only a few lost their lives.

    The fire started on Sunday morning in the house of the King’s baker in Pudding Lane．The baker, with his wife and family, was able to get out through a window into the roof．A strong wind blew the fire from the bakery into a small hotel next door．Then it spread quickly into Thames Street．That was the beginning.

    By eight o’clock three hundred houses were on fire．On Monday nearly a kilometer of the city was burning along the River Thames．Tuesday was the worst day．The fire destroyed many well-known buildings, old St Paul’s and the Guildhall were among them.

    Samuel Pepys, the famous writer, wrote about the fire, “People threw their things into the river．Many poor people stayed in their houses until the last moment．Birds fell out of the air because of the heat.”

    The fire stopped only when the King finally ordered people to destroy hundreds of buildings in the path of the fire．With nothing left to burn, the fire became weak and finally died out.

    After the fire, Christopher Wren, the architect(建筑师), wanted a city with wider streets and fine new houses of stone. In fact, the streets are still narrow, but he did build more than fifty churches, among them was the new St Paul’s Cathedral.

    The fire caused great pain and loss, but after it London was a better place: a city for the future and not just of the past.

    1.The fire began in ________.

    A. a hotel B. the palace

    C. Pudding Lane D. Thames Street

    2.The underlined word ‘family’ in the second paragraph means ________.

    A. home B. children

    C. wife and husband D. wife and children

    3.It seems that the writer of the text was most sorry for the fact that ________.

    A. some people lost their lives

    B. the birds in the sky were killed by the fire

    C. many famous buildings were destroyed

    D. the King’s bakery was burned down

    4.Why did the writer cite(引用) Samuel Pepys?

    A. Because Pepys was among those putting out the fire.

    B. Because Pepys also wrote about the fire.

    C. To show that poor people suffered most.

    D. To give the reader a clearer picture of the fire.
