We feel angry or guilty about the things we did or did not achieve，about the things we cannot have， and many other things. It seems that everyone carries their own bad emotions. But neither guilt nor anger can help us. Over time，they can be heavy weights

These bad emotions don’t do anything good for us at all. So you might ask yourself - is it possible to put down this heavy burden and give yourself a break? It is quite possible. Start by

actually looking at your feelings. How do they get inside of us? Why do we carry them for so long instead of putting them down? Can we live without them?

By thinking about our bad emotions，we can find healthy ways to deal with them. Unhealthy

behaviors are not the way to do this. They provide no relief. Instead，there are better ways to handle them. One of the best ways is forgiveness.

Forgiveness is a powerful tool. We should forgive ourselves first. We shouldn’t keep bad emotions inside. We must also forgive others who have made us guilty or angry. This is not always easy. But when we learn to forgive ourselves，it becomes easier to forgive others as well.

There is nothing good about carrying years of emotional burdens. By forgiving ourselves and others，we can abandon our burdens and feel better about ourselves. The moment you do this，you will start to feel a lot lighter. Years of heaviness will be magically lifted! You’ll start to feel like you have more energy and you’ll be much happier with your life.

21. What is the first step to remove the burden of bad emotions?

A. Studying your emotions.

B. Trying to live without them.

C. Asking others some questions.

22. The best way to handle bad emotions is .

A. forgetting the past.

B. keeping bad emotions inside.

C. forgiving ourselves and others.

23. What does the underlined word "abandon" in the last paragraph mean?

24. What is the story mainly about?

A. How to deal with bad emotions.

B. How to become an energetic person.

C. Why we should forget about forgiveness.

It was about 10 years ago，on a cold，gray winter day. The rain soaked my clothes and chilled my bones. I was walking to visit my dad. I knocked on his door and stepped into his house. Warm steam came from the kitchen. It touched my nose and suddenly I felt like I was 8 years old again. Dad was making Nana’s special sauce.

Growing up. Nana would make us an Italian feast every Sunday after

church. She would slowly cook her spaghetti sauce for hours. throwing in olive oil，salt，sugar，pepper，bay leaves(香叶)，and garlic(大蒜). Then

she would drop in potatoes，chicken. meatballs and sometimes even steak. When it was ready，we would mix it in the spaghetti. Serve it on plates and sprinkle(撒)cheese on top. It always left our bellies full，our hearts happy and our house smelling yummy.

I sat down when Dad made me a plate. I felt like a boy again. We talked about those old times and laughed over the memories，both good and bad. And I noticed something too. I didn’t feel cold anymore. My heart was warm and my spirit light.

Dad and Nana have been gone for years now. I still miss them both every single day. Although my daughter and I both know how to make Nana’s special sauce. we don’t cook it as often as we should. No matter how hard I try. I can never get it quite right. Maybe I am missing an ingredient. Or maybe，it was just the love with which they cooked it that made it so delicious. Either way， this winter，I am going to make it again. I need its warmth. I need its goodness.

第二节 阅读下面一篇短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳项。选项中有一个为多余选项。

There are far too many mysteries in this world that we have yet to discover. Some of them are hidden in the most unlikely places. 29 In a small town of Gryfino in P oland lies one of the world’s mysteries

that have been known-a small group of pine trees. 30 From the

bottom，these trees grow with a 90-degree bend northwards，but then go back to grow straight up into the sky.

According to the scientists，the pine trees there were planted around 1930. Though they are strange in shape，these trees are generally healthy. Most of them are very tall. 31 That’s about the height a five-story building.

32 Some suppose that the special gravity( 重 力 )in this area has caused the trees to

bend northwards. But it seems that this guess isn’t proper，because gravity only pulls things downwards and doesn’t make them bend. Others guess that the heavy snowfall in the area weighed down the trees as they were small. However，if that is the case，how would they explain that the other trees are the same in this area?

The most possible explanation is that local farmers shaped the trees when planting them then. During those times，it was common for farmers to shape their plants for special purposes. 33 The secret behind the tree is still waiting for us to discover.

A. These trees look strange in shape.

B. Some even grow nearly 15.24 meters.

C. Others remain unsolved even up to this day.

D. Have you ever heard a strange group pine trees?

E. There are many guesses at the mystery in the forest.

F. However, that is only one of the guesses from people.
