Forgetting the experience that es before the forgiveness, however always remains with us. Choosing to forgive means choosing to let go of the bad or negative emotions that one experiences so that we can live in peace and harmony. Five years ago, I went through a painful divorce. My elder brother, a great believer of our faith, was very angry at my decision to divorce. Despite his response, I felt my decision was right. After two years to arguing over the phone and hurtful words in e-mails, my brother and I ended our friendship in a cold silence. Out of the blue he visited the same city that I was living in to see our mother. I thought for nights about how to react to his visit. I sought advice from many friends, all of whom said that I had done nothing wrong, so it was he who needed to e to me first. However, another friend advised me otherwise, saying Choose to be the bigger person here; forgive and forget. Let go and move on. Though his words gave me courage, I still felt very angry and betrayed. My dear friend gave me a gentle urge and even stayed on the phone when I went over to greet my brother and family. When I did it, I felt so relieved. Peace at last! Today I am so grateful to my friend for having encouraged me. Had I not taken his advice, I wouldnt enjoy the loving relationship that I now do with my family. Still, I came t o realize that it would be a lie if I said that I didnt think about the past sometimes. However, the difference is that I do not feel angry. Im at peace and have a greater understanding and acceptance of the power of forgiveness through the whole experience.60. In the authors opinion, the purpose of forgiving is _. A. to forget some unpleasant experiences B. to make up with relatives or friends C. to let go of some bad or negative emotions D. to make us live in peace and harmony61.

In the first half of 20th century, to control flooding, the city fathers began redirecting the San Antonio River. They built a network of canals that pass through the downtown area. At nearly every street corner, stairs lead down to walkways on both sides of the canals.The River Walk is linked with cafes, bars, shops - and, of course, plenty of bridges. You can easily cross over to the other side without having to return to the street. Its a constant party along the River Walk, with music and festivals throughout the year. The Mud Festival, for example, takes place each January, when the city empties this section of the river to clean it out. Thats when the Mud King and Mud Queen are crowned.No visit to Texas would be plete without seeing a rodeo （牛仔竞技表演）- another aspect of this part of the country that is pletely foreign to someone from New England. The announcer walks on stage and gets the crowd excited with talk about the courageous cowboys wholl be performing. While hes talking, a band plays sad songs about love gone wrong.Suddenly the announcer calls for silence. He takes off his tall hat and asks us to join him in prayer. We pray for the cowboys who are, we are told, risking their lives to entertain us, as well as for the bulls and other animals taking part in the shows. We pray for the tourists who are visiting. The rodeo gets going and the fun begins.Our prayers for the cowboys and animals are answered, and nobody gets hurt. But as we walk over to the cowboy dance hall after the show to enjoy a Texas-size barbecue, its clear that not enough prayers were said for the bulls less athletic relatives - the ones not chosen for rodeo work. Theyll be our meal. It seems that moving too slowly has its disadvantages, too.64. What do you know about the River Walk from the article?A. People hold parties to celebrate festivals here every day.B. It refers to the sidewalks on either side of this section of the San Antonio River.C.

Mud King and Mud Queen are chosen in the festivalD. Mud Festival is celebrated to clear the mud of the San Antonio River.66. Why do some bulls bee the visitors meal?A. Because they do not run as fast as those taking part in the shows.B. Because the visitors do not pray enough for them before the shows.C. Because they lose the petition to their relatives in the shows.D. Because they are only beef cattle intended as peoples food.67.

Diabetes was not a mon illness, especially in children, until recently._72_These include feeling tired all the time, going for a pee （小便） more often than usual and most of all feeling very, very thirsty. If you, or any of your friends or members of your family, have any of these symptoms, a simple painless blood test by your doctor can rule out diabetes.The recent spread of diabetes is often thought to be the result of a lack of exercise and eating the wrong kind of diet. 73 The result is that their bodies cant cope and so give up trying to balance the amount of food and calories ing in with the amount of exercise and calories going out._74_If we eat too many calories, our bodies cant make enough insulin to keep up and so less of our food is turned into the energy we desperately need. _75_In its early sta
