[2]So how do you start forgiveness? Try following these steps:

[3]Calm yourself.To calm your anger,try a simple stress-management skill.“Take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure:a beautiful scene in nature,someone you love,” Luskin says.

[4]Don’t wait for an apology.“Many times the person who hurt you has no intention（意图）of apologizing,”Luskin says.“They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way.So if you wait for people to apologize,you could be waiting an awfully long time.”

[5]Take the control away from your offender（对手）.Mentally replaying your hurt gives power to the person who cause you pain.“Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings,learn to look for the love,beauty and kindness around you,” Luskin says. [6]Try to see things from the other person’s view.If you understand that person,you may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance,fear even love.To gain view,you may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender’s point of view. [7] Don’t forget to forgive yourself.“For some people,forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge,” Luskin says.“But it can reduce your self-confidence if .”

each year on items like boats and four-wheel-drive vehicles.In addition，they spend money on fishing equipment，bait,fuel and boat repairs.And you can see that fishing can be an expensive pastime.Fishing lovers believe that their hobby is worth it.Others say that fishing is spoiling the environment and that it is a cruel hobby. [2]Supporters of fishing say that it is a nice hobby.Firstly,of the millions of people who fish for fun，most only catch enough fish to feed their families.They catch fish that are found in large numbers，so there is little danger to the species （种类）.

[3]Secondly，recreational fishermen contribute to the economy.They spend money on equipment and other items，and they also spend it indirectly by paying taxes on their equipment and fuel.Those who travel to fishing spots pay for accommodation（食宿）and airfares.This money keeps people in work and provides new jobs each year. [4]Thirdly,fishing is relaxing and fun so it lessens stress.Instead of turning to drugs or alcohol,it is far better to go fishing.People who are relaxed are generally healthier and much nicer to be near—except for the smell of the bait！

[5]Those who say that there are too many fish thoughtlessly taken from rivers，lakes,streams and oceans.This could lead to the dying out of some species.Modern cars and boats mean that people can fish in remote areas of the world,so no place is safe from greedy fishermen who take both males and females,leaving few fish to produce young.

[6]Those against fishing also say that it is a blood sport，which means that an animal must die so that a human can have fun.Many of the fish caught for sport are not suitable for eating，so they are thrown away.Once hooked,fish have no chance of escape.

Passage 4 （2013·天津高考）

My name is Clara.I still remember that chilly December day,sitting in science class. I’d finished a worksheet early and picked up a TIME for Kids magazine.A piece of news caught my eye:NASA was holding an essay contest to name its Mars rover （火星探测器）.Before I even knew anything else about it,a single word flooded my 11-year-old mind:Curiosity.

I couldn’t wait for the bell to ring so I could get started on my essay.That afternoon,I raced home,sat down at the computer,and typed until my fingers ached.“Curiosity is an everlasting flame that burns in everyone’s mind...”

Five months later,my mom received a phone call,and immediately,a wide smile spread across her face.

On August 5,2012,at 10:31 p.m.,the rover named Curiosity touched down safely on the surface of Mars,and I was honored to have a front-row seat in NASA.

Curiosity is such an important part of who I am.I have always been fascinated by the stars,the planets,the sky and the universe.I remember as a little girl,my grandmother and I would sit together in the backyard for hours.She’d tell me stories
