27、How to Forgive Someone
Forgiving someone who has done something wrong and hurt you can be difficult and painful. 【1】 While this is natural, holding on to your anger causes you to become more painful. For this reason, it is necessary to choose to forgive, not for the other person, but for yourself. The following suggestions will help you forgive someone.
Release your anger. Let go of all the negative feelings you have towards the other person. Allow yourself to cry, go into nature, and talk to someone you trust, or do whatever helps you release these bad feelings. 【2】
Give it time. Forgiveness does not come easily. 【3】 It is something that can be realized little by little every day.
【4】 Once you've had time to cool down and think things through, you may clearly explain to the other person, in a calm manner, how his actions have hurt you and how they have made you feel. This is very important, or you will bottle up feelings of anger towards the other person, making true forgiveness impossible.
Focus on the future. Once you have made the decision to forgive someone, you need to forget the past and focus on the future. 【5】 It might be just what your relationship needs.
A.Get angry at someone.
B.Tell the other person how you feel.
C.Your first reaction is probably to hold on to your anger.
D.It requires self-control, determination and, above all, time.
E.Look on the bright side of the future and make a fresh start.
F.If not, the bad feelings will cause you to become more painful.
G.It's unnecessary to rebuild a relationship with anyone or let him go.
28、Laptop computers are popular all over the world. People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms.
Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a $10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to “peak” with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees—anywhere at all!
Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptop use in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. In addition, the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities, too.
At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, “Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we’re giving students a window on the world. They can see everything and do everything.”
【1】The main purpose of the laptop program is to give each student a laptop to ________.
A.use for their schoolwork

29、What’s better: private school vs public school? Choosing which school to send your children to can be a very hard decision to make. 【1】
Ask about testing scores. Students at private schools tend to outscore public school students on standardized tests, which can affect your child’s ability to get into college. 【2】 Researchers have used the same data to come to conflicting conclusions. Other factors like socioeconomic status, can influence student’s scores, regardless of where they are educated.
【3】 In general, public schools tend to have larger class sizes than private schools. If you need a school that can give more attention to individual students, you might consider a private school or a smaller public school.
Tour the school. Before you even begin to choose between a public or private one, you’ll need to schedule a tour of the school you’re interested in. Do the students look happy and engaged? Are the learning spaces bright and clean? 【4】 Taking your children along gives the them chance to see the school and decide if it feels like a comfortable environment to them.
Don’t put too much stock in online ratings. 【5】 But they could also have fantastic teachers and principals. Talking to others help you figure out if this is true. Therefore, don’t write a school off just because its ratings are a little low.
In a word, knowing what matters to you in terms of the differences between public and private education can make your decision a little easier.
A.The final decision is yours.
B.Take into account class size.
C.Some practical actions can help a lot.
D.However, there is some debate about this.
E.You can learn a lot about these when you visit.

After an apprenticeship with a printer, he worked as a typesetter and 【2】 articles to the newspaper of his older brother, Orion Clemens.

He referred humorously to his singular lack of success at mining, turning to journalism for the Virginia City Territorial Enterprise.

Twain chose to pay all his pre-bankruptcy creditors in full, though he had no legal responsibility to do so.
Twain was born 【9】 after a visit by Halley’s Comet, and he predicted that he would go out with it, too. He died the day after the comet returned. He 【10】 himself as the “greatest American humorist of his age”, and William Faulkner called Twain “the father of American literature”.
