True forgiveness is one of the most remarkable qualities a human can possess!

In the fighting between two countries in the 1970s, a young man was walking from one village to the next when he was   21   by an armed guerrilla (游擊隊(duì)) fighter from the enemy country. The fighter   22   the young man down the hill where he was to be   23  .

But a (n)   24   thing happened. The young man, who had   25   military (軍事的) training, was able to disarm (解除武裝) the fighter. Now, the table was   26  , and it was the fighter who was ordered down the hill.

As they walked,   27 , the young man began to reflect on what was happening. Recalling the   28   of his mother, “Love your enemies; do good to those who   29   you.” he found he could go no further. He   30   the gun into the bushes, told the fighter he was   31   to go and turned back   32   the hill.

Minutes later, he heard footsteps   33   behind him as he walked. “Is this the end after all?” he   34  . Perhaps the fighter had got the gun and wanted to finish him off.

But he continued on,   35   glancing back, until his enemy reached him, only to grab him in a hug and pour out   36   for sparing his life.

Mercy often wears the face of   37  . And though it usually isn’t an enemy in uniform that we are challenged to forgive, we have   38   for mercy every day. Family members and friends, co-workers and neighbors and even strangers have   39   for our forgiveness. You know who they are.

As Mahatma Gandhi said, “The   40  can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute(特性) of the strong.” Be strong. Forgive.

The drug store was closing for the night and Alfred Higgins was about to go home when his new boss approached him.
“Empty your pockets please, Alfred,” Sam Carr demanded in a firm voice.
Alfred pretended to be shocked but he knew he’d been caught. From his coat he withdrew a make-up kit, a lipstick and two tubes of toothpaste.
“I’m disappointed in you, Alfred!” said the little gray-haired man.
“Sorry, sir. Please forgive me. It’s the first time I’ve ever done such a thing,” Alfred lied, hoping to gain the old man’s sympathy.
Mr Carr’s brow furrowed as he reached for the phone, “Do you take me for a fool? Let’s see what the police have to say. But first I’ll call your mother and let her know her son is heading to jail.”
“Do whatever you want,” Alfred shot back, trying to sound big. But deep down he felt like a child. He imagined his mother rushing in, eyes burning with anger, maybe in tears. Yet he wanted her to come quickly before Mr. Carr called the police.
Mr. Carr was surprised when Mrs Higgins finally arrived. She was very calm, quiet and friendly. “Is Alfred in trouble?” she asked.
“He’s been stealing from the store,” the old man coolly replied.
Mrs. Higgins put out her hand and touched Mr. Carr’s arm with great gentleness as if she knew just how he felt. She spoke as if she did not want to cause him any more trouble. “What do you want to do, Mr. Carr?”
The woman’s calm and gentle manner disarmed the once-angry store-owner. “I was going to get a cop. But I don’t want to be cruel. Tell your son not to come back here again, and I’ll let it go.” Then he warmly shook Mrs. Higgins’s hand.
Mrs. Higgins thanked the old man for his kindness, then mother and son left. They walked along the street in silence. When they arrived home his mother simply said, “Go to bed, you fool.”
In his bedroom, Alfred heard his mother in the kitchen. He felt no shame, only pride in his mother’s actions. “She was smooth!” he thought. He went to the kitchen to tell her how great she was, but was shocked by what he saw.
His mother’s face looked frightened, broken. Not the cool, bright face he saw earlier. Her lips moved nervously. She looked very old. There were tears in her eyes.
This picture of his mother made him want to cry. He felt his youth ending. He saw all the troubles he brought her and the deep lines of worry in her grey face. It seemed to him that this was the first time he had ever really seen his mother.
【小題1】Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A．It was the first time Alfred had stolen anything.
B．Alfred tried to sound big to hide his fear.
C．Mr. Carr set a trap to catch Alfred stealing.
D．Mr. Carr had planned to forgive Alfred from the beginning.

B

How do apology languages work? Have you ever tried to apologize, only to be refused? It may be that you were offering a partial apology in a “l(fā)anguage”, that was foreign to your listener. The five languages of apology include:

Apology Language 1: “I am sorry.”

List the hurtful effects of your action. Not “I am sorry if …”, but “I am sorry that…”. You might ask if they want to add any points that you have not recognized.

Apology Language 2:“I was wrong.”

Name your mistake and accept fault. Note that it is easier to say “You are right” than “ I am wrong”, but the latter carries more weight.

Apology Language 3: “What can I do to make it right?”

How are you now? How shall I make amends(彌補(bǔ)) to you? How can I restore your confidence that I love you— even though I was so hurtful to you?

Apology Language 4: “I’ll try not to do that again.”

Engage in problem-solving. Don’t make excuses for yourself such as, “Well, my day was just so…” Instead, offer what you will change to prevent yourself from putting them in the same bad situation again.

Apology Language 5: “Will you please forgive me?”

Be patient in seeking forgiveness. They may need some time or greater clarification(澄清) of your input from Apology Languages 1-4.

Finally, your apology may not be accepted, but at least you know that you have been faithful in offering a sincere olive branch(橄欖枝) of peace.

1.The passage mainly talks about___________

A．5 tips for apologies that work              B．5 ways of refusing apologies

C．the function of apology languages           D．the importance of apology languages

2.According to Paragraph 1, your apology may be refused mainly because________

A．your listeners can’t understand your dialect.

B．your listeners can’t hear what you said clearly.

C．your apology is not sincere.

D．your apology is not expressed well enough.

3.When offering an apology, which of the following does the author prefer?

A．“You are right”                        B．“I am sorry if …”

C．“I was wrong.”                        D．“Well, my day was just so…”

4.In the last paragraph, the author tells us even if your apology may not be accepted, at least ___________.

A．It’s your fault any more                 B．your mind will be at peace

C．your friend will make peace with you.        D．your apology is true to your heart

B

I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to sit above the top of it. Mother sat writing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be a most wonderful thing in the world.

Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she said again, “is for Elizabeth.”

I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed in action. But as a young girl. I wanted to have heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.

They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional (易動(dòng)感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface (表面)”.

As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.

My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace – it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.

But the present of her desk told me, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside – a photo of my father and a one-paper letter, folded and refolded many times. It was my letter.

“In any way you choose, Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.”

1.The writer began to love her mother’s desk________.

A．a(chǎn)fter Mother died                       B．a(chǎn)fter she wrote the letter

2.The passage shows that_________.

A．Mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter

B．Mother was too serious about her daughter in words

3.Which of the following is NOT true?

A．The author may work as a writer

B．The author and her mother love each other, but didn’t say it out

C．Neither the author nor her mother had a happy family.

D．The author’s mother is a person who prefers act to words.

4.What did Mother do with her daughter’s letter asking for forgiveness?

A．She had never received the letter.

B．For years, she often talked about the letter.

C．She didn’t forgive her daughter at all in all her life.

D．She read the letter again and again till she died.
