Question

Is there someone you hate? Well, you don’t really hate them. But you get really angry every time you think of them. If you don’t let this anger go, it can turn into bitterness(痛苦).

Bitterness appears when we can’t forgive someone who has hurt us or made us angry. Someone might say or do something that hurts us. But instead of controlling the anger, we keep it deep inside. Before long, a bitter feeling begins to grow. We may think we’re hurting that person by criticizing(批評) him or her often, but we’re really only hurting ourselves.

Bitterness can not only lead to terrible health problems such as heart disease, but also hurt our friendships with our friends and family members. No one enjoys being around an angry person for very long.

If you see bitterness in your life, the following ways can be helpful.

Accept it

Instead of trying to deny your anger, make it clear to yourself and accept it. See your anger for what it is and quickly deal with it.

Stop making excuses for it

You may feel you have a right to be angry. You may think you’re right and the other person is wrong. You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look bad. But in the end, bitterness hurts you much more than the other person. The bitterness will hold you back, and the other person will go on with his or her life.

Forgive and forget it

You probably can’t completely put the anger out of your mind. But you can decide to forgive the other person. Forget it and move on. You’ll enjoy better health and peace of your mind.

【解析】

試題分析：本文講述的是怨恨。當(dāng)我們無法原諒傷害我們或使我們生氣的人時，就會出現(xiàn)怨恨。我們總是記得那些傷害我們的事情而不是把它們從我們的意識里除去。我們認為如果自己不壓抑憤怒而去批評他人，就會傷害那個人，所以我們就把憤怒深埋心底。怨恨不僅導(dǎo)致糟糕的健康問題而且會傷害我們和朋友及家人的關(guān)系，所以我們要想法解決。文章敘述了一些消除怨恨的方法。

1.1】根據(jù)Bitterness appears when we can’t forgive someone who has hurt us or made us angry. 可知當(dāng)我們無法原諒傷害我們或使我們生氣的人時，就會出現(xiàn)怨恨。故此空填forgive。

2.2】根據(jù)But instead of controlling the anger, we keep it deep inside. 可知我們總是記得那些傷害我們的事情而不是把它們從我們的意識里除去。所以此空填letting/putting。

3.3】根據(jù)We may think we’re hurting that person by criticizing(批評) him or her often, but we’re really only hurting ourselves.可知我們認為如果自己不壓抑憤怒而去批評他人，就會傷害那個人。所以我們把憤怒深埋心底是因為不想傷害別人，故此空填because/since/as。

4.4】根據(jù)第三段可知怨恨不僅導(dǎo)致糟糕的健康問題而且會傷害我們和朋友及家人的關(guān)系。所以這里是怨恨所產(chǎn)生的影響，故填Effect(s)/Result(s)/Influence(s)。

5.5】根據(jù)Bitterness can not only lead to terrible health problems such as heart disease, but also hurt our friendships with our friends and family members. 中的not only…but also,可知這里應(yīng)該是both…and…的結(jié)構(gòu)。

6.6】根據(jù)No one enjoys being around an angry person for very long.可知此空填having/keeping。

7.7】根據(jù)后面的接受它，別再為怨恨找借口，原諒或忘記，可知這都是解決怨恨的方式。故填solve。

8.8】根據(jù)Instead of trying to deny your anger, make it clear to yourself and accept it. 可知要接受怨恨而不是拒絕，故填A(yù)ccept。

9.9】根據(jù)Stop making excuses for it 可知不要為怨恨找借口。故填Dno’t/Never。

10.10】根據(jù)Forget it and move on. 可知要忘記怨恨而不是記住。故此題填hate/remember。
