From age eight to eleven, I attended a small school in Bath, England. It was a small school of four classes with about twenty-five children in each class according to age. For the most part, one teacher had to teach all subjects to the children in the class. However, sometimes the headmaster, Mr. Ronald Broaches, would come in and spend an hour or so, teaching some subjects in which he was especially interested. He was a large man with a very happy nature. He had a sense of humor and would delight in telling the children small stories that would make us laugh. He was a very fair man and had a great influence on many of the children. In my own case, I found that he took great interest in me and he quickly found that I enjoyed puzzles. He would often stop me as I was going to class and take a piece of paper out of his pocket, often with a puzzle already on it. The puzzles were usually mathematical or logical. As time went on, they slowly got more difficult, but I loved them. Not only that, they made me interested in math and problem solving that stays with me to this day. They also served to show me that intellectual activity was rewarding when the correct answers were found, but perhaps more importantly it was great fun. To this day, I can remember Mr. Broaches’ cheerful cry of “Well done!” whenever I got a problem right. The simple communication with a man whom I loved greatly has had a deep influence on my life. I shall forever be thankful that our paths crossed. Mr. Broaches died just two weeks after I had won the 1993 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Unluckily, I had no chance to speak to him before he died. I learnt later that he had heard of my success and I will always hope that he knew the deep influence he had made on my life.

举一反三
One day the employees of a large company in St Louis, Missouri returned from their lunch break and were greeted with a sign on the front door. The sign said: "Yesterday the person who has been hindering ((阻碍) your growth in this company passed away. We invite you to join the funeral (葬礼) in the room that has been prepared in the gym."
At first everyone was sad to hear that one of their colleagues had died, but after a while they started getting curious about who this person might be.
The excitement grew as the employees arrived at the gym to pay their last respects. Everyone wondered: "Who is this person that was hindering my progress? Well, at least he"s no longer here."
One by one the employees got closer to the coffin (棺材) and when they looked inside it they became speechless. They stood over the coffin, shocked and in silence, as if someone had touched the deepest part of their soul.
There was a mirror inside the coffin: Everyone who looked inside it could see himself. There was also a sign next to the mirror that said: "There is only one person who can set limits to your growth: it is YOU."
You are the only person who can revolutionize (彻底改变) your life. You are the only person who can influence your happiness, your realization and your success. You are the only person who can help yourself.
Your life does not change when your family changes, when your friends change, when your boss changes, and when your company changes.
Your life changes when YOU change, when you go beyond your limiting beliefs, when you realize that you are the only one responsible for your life.

Not long ago, someone asked the dad of a young pop star what his son would have done if he hadn’t become a singer. The father said he had 36 considered anything else. This was his Plan A.

Forgiving is easy. Forgeting the experience that comes 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 correct. After two years of arguing over the phone and hurtful words in emails my brother and I ended our friendship in a cold silence.
Out of the blue(意想不到地) 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 I should wait for his apology before trying to repair our friendship. Since I had done nothing wrong, it was he that needed to come to me.
A very close friend advised me otherwise. He said, “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(背叛). My dear friend gave me a gentle shove(推,促使) and even stayed on the phone while I went over to greet my brother and family. When I did, I felt so relieved.I felt peace at last!
Todady I am so grateful to my friend for encouraging me. If I hadn’t taken his advice, I wouldn’t enjoy the loving relationship that I do now with all of my family. Still, it would be a lie if I said that I didn’t think about the past sometimes. The difference is that I do not feel angry. I am at peace and have a greater understanding and acceptance of the whole experience. In short I feel I have grown since then.
56. In the author’s opinion, the purpose of forgiving is _________.
A. to forget the unpleasant experience
B.to make up with relatives or friends
C.to let go of the bad or negative emotions
D. to make ourselves live in peace and harmony

A. They had different attitudes of life.
B. They had different views towards her marriage.
C. They belonged to different political parties.
D.They had a quarrel about properties.
58. What drove the author to forgive her brother?
A. One close friend’s encouragement.
B. The friend’s staying on the phone.
C. Her mother’s persuasion.
D. Her own understanding with growth.
59. It can be inferred that the author______.
A. realized her mistake in her divorce in the end
B. learned how to forget unpleasant experiences
