A. badly B. wisely C. early D. confidently 第三篇 "How did you do it, Dad? How have you 1 to not take a drink for almost 20 years?" It took me almost 20 years to have the 2 to even ask my father this very personal question. When Dad first 3 drinking, the whole family was on pins and needles every time he 4 a situation that, in the past, would have 5 him drinking again. For a few years we were afraid to bring it up 6 the drinking would begin again. "I had this little poem that I 7 recite to myself at least four to five times a day," was Dad's reply to my 18-year-old 8 question. "The words were an instant relief and constant 9 to me that things were never so 10 that I could not handle them," Dad said. And then he11 the poem with me. The poem's simple, yet profound words immediately became part of my daily 12 as well. About a month after this talk with my father, I 13 a gift in the mail from a friend of mine. It was a book of daily affirmations with one affirmation 14 for each day of the year. It has been my experience that when you get 15 with days of the year on it, you automatically turn to the 16 that lists your own birthday. I 17 opened the book to November 10 to 18 what words of wisdom this book had in store for me. I did a double-take and tears of 19 and appreciation rolled down my face. There, on my birthday, was the 20 same poem that had helped my father for all these years! It is called the Serenity Prayer: God, grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the Courage to change the things I can; and the Wisdom to know the difference. 查看更多

    1  

  We've all been hurt by another person at some time or another-we were treated badly, trust was broken and hearts were hurt.And while this pain is normal, sometimes that pain continues for too long.We experience the pain over and over, and hate a hard time letting go.This causes problems.It not only causes us to be unhappy, but can ruin relationships, distract(使分心)us from work and family and other important things, make us unwilling to open up to new things and people We get trapped in a cycle of anger and hurt, and miss out on the beauty of life as it happens.We need to learn to let go.We need to be able to forgive, so we can move on and be happy.It's not easy, but you can learn to do it.

    2  

  What problems does this pain cause you? Does it affect your relationship with this person? With others? Does it affect work or family? Does it stop you from realizing, your dreams, or becoming a better person? Does it make you unhappy? Think of all these problems, and realize you need to change.Then think of the benefits of forgiveness-how it will make you happier, free you from the past and improve things with your relationships and life in general.

    3  

  Try to understand why the person did what he did.What could he have been thinking, and what could have happened to him in the past to make him do what he did? What could he have felt as he did it, and what did he feel afterward? How does he feel now? You aren't saying what he did is right, but are instead trying to Understand.

    4  

  Try to figure out how you could have been partly responsible for what happened.What could you have done to prevent it, and how can you prevent it from happening next time? This isn't to say you are taking all the blame, or taking responsibility away from the other person, but to realize that we are not victims but participants in life.

    5  

  As you focus on the present, try focusing on your breathing.Imagine each breath going out is the pain and the past, and imagine each breath coming in is peace, entering you and filling you up.

Do you know what kind of things the young people are reading? More and more  36  and parents have noticed another kind of pollution, which comes from the printed papers  37  on streets.

  These printed things 38  newspapers but have hardly anything to do with 39 . You can only find reading materials badly made up there---some are too strange for anyone to 40 ,  others are frightening stories of something  41  .However, many of the young readers are getting interested in such  42  reading, which  43 them what they should pay for their breakfast and brings them nightmares(噩梦)and immoral(邪恶)ideas in  44 .  Homework is left  45 ,  and daily games are lost.
