Surprisingly,she'd slept,though her mind was （churning) when she went to bed_____

（英译汉）When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible--and it can be surprisingly helpful to your physical and mental health. Indeed, research has shown that people who forgive report more energy, better appetite and better sleep patterns.

So when someone has hurt you, calm yourself. Talk a couple of deep breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love. Don't wait for an apology(道歉 ). Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean accepting the action of the person who upset you. Try to see thing from the other person's perspective. You may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance, fear--even love. You may want to write a letter to yourself from that person's point of view.

l attitude, while others claim it’s being wealthy. But according to one researcher, the answer may in fact lie in what we’re wearing. Professor Karen Pine from the University of Hertfordshire said that specific clothing—including even superhero T-shirts—can make people more confident in all sorts of situations. The research is outlined in her new book Mind What You Wear. In the book she claims clothing affects a person's mental processes and perceptions. Putting on different clothes creates different thoughts and mental processes. “My book aims to make people more aware of this, to understand how their clothes can change their mood and their thoughts.” In the study, she gathered a group of students and asked some to wear a superman T-shirt. She wanted to know if heroic clothing would change how students thought. Surprisingly, she found that not only did it make them more confident, but it also made them actually think they were physically stronger. "When wearing a Superman T-shirt the students rated themselves as more likable and superior to other students," she explained. "When asked to estimate how much they could physically lift, those in a Superman T-shirt thought they were stronger than students in a plain T-shirt, or in their own clothing." It wasn’t just superhero clothing that affected a person's state of mind, though. In another test, women were asked to do a maths test in a swimsuit or wearing a sweater, with the latter group performing better. Wearing a white coat, meanwhile, was found to improve a person's mental agility. And in the book she claims when women are stressed, they neglect 90 percent of their wardrobe, choosing to dress up only to feel confident. In addition to scientific research, Professor Pine said she also has "tips on how to feel happier and more confident with the right clothes, explaining not only that we are what we wear, but that we become what we wear.

This evening I met a friend at a local bar. She brought her laptop {along; around; forward} so she could show me some of her latest digital art designs. As we looked through her artwork, the laptop suddenly started making an unhealthy noise, then the screen twinkled on and off and then cut off {normally; completely; suddenly}. And as we both stared at one another surprisingly, the terrible smell of fried computer circuits appeared.

I grabbed the laptop off the bar to inspect it and the problem instantly arose itself. The bottom of the laptop was completely wet and empty, spilt water glass rested against the side of her purse just behind where the laptop was sitting. While we were chatting and shifting the laptop's 17 inch screen {up and down; back and forth; in and out}, we somehow spilt a glass of water that the waiter had inadvertently (无意地) placed behind the screen, which was out of our view.

When life throws id some troubles like this, it typically doesn't make any sense to us, and our natural emotional reaction might get extremely {upset; excited; surprised} at the top of our lungs. But how does this help our dilemma？ Obviously, it doesn't.

The smartest and hardest thing we can do in these kinds of situations is to be more tempered in our reaction. You'd be much wiser and more disciplined than scream extremely. You should remember that emotional rage only makes matters worse. And please remember that once it happens, that will give us an opportunity to grow stronger.

Every difficult moment in our lives is accompanied by an opportunity for personal growth and {creativity; respect; activity}. But in order to attain this growth and creativity.

We must first learn to control our emotions. We must recognize that difficulties pass like everything in our life.

As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information， are people remember less？ If you know your computer will save information， why store it in your own personal memory， your brain？ Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.

In a recent study， Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment， they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later， the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again， so they did not try to remember it.

In another experiment， the researchers gave people facts to remember， and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder （文件夹）. Surprisingly， people later remember the folder location （位置） better than the facts. When people use the Internet， they do not remember the information. Rather， they remember how to find it. This is called "transactive memory （交互记忆）"

According to Sparrow， we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead， computer users are developing stronger transactive memories； that is， people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn‘t mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent， but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.

根据材料回答64-67题。 The passage begins with two questions to ______.

A.introduce the main topic

B.show the author"s altitude

C.describe how to use the Interne.

D.explain how to store information

rprisingly straight up. Rather than cloaking his exit in the usual vague excuses, he came right out and said he was leaving "to pursue my goal of running a company. " Broadcasting his ambition was "very much my decision , " McGee says. Within two weeks, he was talking for the first time with the board of Hartford Financial Services Group, which named him CEO and chairman on September 29.

McGee says leaving without a position lined up gave him time to reflect on what kind of company he wanted to run. It also sent a clear message to the outside world about his aspirations. And McGee isn't

alone. In recent weeks the No. 2 executives at Avon and American Express quit with the explanation that they were looking for a CEO post. As boards scrutinize succession plans in response to shareholder pressure, executives who don't get the nod also may wish to move on. A turbulent business environment also has senior managers cautious of letting vague pronouncements cloud their reputations.

As the first signs of recovery begin to take hold, deputy chiefs may be more willing to make the jump without a net. In the third quarter, CEO turnover was down 23% from a year ago as nervous boards stuck with the leaders they had, according to Liberum Research. As the economy picks up, opportunities will abound for aspiring leaders.

The decision to quit a senior position to look for a better one is unconventional. For years executives and headhunters have adhered to the rule that the most attractive CEO candidates are the ones who must be poached. Says Korn/Ferry senior partner Dennis Carey: " I can't think of a single search I've done where a board has not instructed me to look at sitting CEOs first. "

Those who jumped without a job haven't always landed in top positions quickly. Ellen Marram quit as chief of Tropicana a decade age, saying she wanted to be a CEO. It was a year before she became head of a tiny Internet-based commodities exchange. Robert Willumstad left Citigroup in 2005 with ambitions to be a CEO. He finally took that post at a major financial institution three years later.

Many recruiters say the old disgrace is fading for top performers. The financial crisis has made it more acceptable to be between jobs or to leave a bad one. "The traditional rule was it's safer to stay where you are, but that's been fundamentally inverted, " says one headhunter. " The people who've been hurt the worst are those who've stayed too long.

When McGee announced his departure, his manner can best be described as being______.

A．arrogant.

B．frank.

C．self-centered.

D．impulsive.

A.She's from Englan

B.She's at hom

C.She's not back.

D.She's very well.

A.She's in Englan

B.She's from London.

C.She's a nurse in Englan

D.She is English
