Unit 1 Laughter is good for you一、阅读理解。Recently I and other Red Cross volunteers met a group of victims from Hurricane Katrina. We were there, as mental health professionals, to offer psychological first aid and I was struck by the simple healing power of presence. As we walked in the gate to the shelter, we were greeted with a burst of gratitude (感激) from the first person we met. I felt appreciated, but also guilty, because I hadnt really done anything yet.I first realized the power of presence many years ago when a friends mother passed away unexpectedly. I had received a call saying she had just passed away. I wanted to rush down there immediately, but didnt want to intrude (打扰) on this very personal period of sadness. I was torn about what to do. Another friend with me then said, Just go. Just be there. I did, and I will never regret it.Since then, I have not hesitated to be in the presence of others. Once I sat at the bedside of a young man suffering from the pain of his AIDS related dying. He was not awake, and obviously unaware of others presence. However, the atmosphere was by no means solemn. His family, playing guitars and singing, allowed him to be present with them as though he were still fully alive.In my life, I am repeatedly struck by the healing power of presence. In it, none of us are truly alone. It is not only something we give to others but also changes me for the better.1.Why were the hurricane victims grateful to the author?A.

truthone of the most powerful weapons to enhance your life is your own tongue!_1_ Concentrate on the qualities of other people that you can affirm instead of on their faults.This alone should do wonders in relieving stress in your relationships.Doctors know that prolonged anxiety harms you，but encouraging words can remove stress and a peaceful mind leads to improve physical health，too._2_Avoid fueling verbal fire.When someone starts to blow up all at you，be careful about your response.Why burn your relationship house down with your own mouth？Try spraying water on an argument with calm words instead of using a flamethrower.How many marriages have been destroyed when in a fit of anger people spew out hurtful accusations to one another that are never forgotten！_3_ “A soft answer turns away wrath(狂怒)，but a harsh word stirs up anger.”Stop plaining.We all know people who plain all the time，especially about the fault of others._4_ Nothing is ever going well for them，and probably nothing ever willas long as they keep plaining and putting their energy on what they really dont want.Do think before you speak._5_ It is useless regretting.It doesnt matter how unintentional they may be，words can sometimes cut a lot deeper than a sword.Very often youll hear people say，“I didnt mean to hurt your feelings.”Well，if you didnt want to hurt feelings why couldnt you be thoughtful before you let the unpleasant words escape your loose lips?AYou should practice waiting a while before answering someone when you are angry.BPractice speaking positive words instead of negative ones.CWe store in our minds in a kind of mental art gallery what others have said to us.DOnce the words leave your mouth，it is impossible to take them back.EThe longer you think，the better
