When was the last time you were late and expected someone to understand? How about the time you left your dishes on the table for someone else to clean up? Or perhaps you left the lid on the peanut butter jar loose, and the person after you opened the jar to find it dry and not fresh.

Often, we are eager to ignore our own faults. But we have higher standards when it comes to our expectations of someone else who has the same expectations. We need to as equally understand the weaknesses of others and excuse them just as we excuse ourselves.

Two of my strengths are punctuality(准时) and organization. I like to meet deadlines when they are due and keep the space around my computer neat and orderly. But sometimes things happen, and I slip from being perfect. When this happens, I show myself mercy and lower the standard for myself. However, if someone else makes a mess around my computer, I might not show them as much mercy as I show myself. If it can happen to me, then I should be willing to realize that it can happen to someone else as well.

I am not suggesting that we should not work on improving our faults, or that it should be right to be late or leave a mess behind us. Although we should always be working towards self-improvement, we shouldn’t have a double standard that says we are excused from our own mistakes but we cannot excuse someone else. If we are not 100-percent perfect, we shouldn’t expect others to be.

Mercy shows an understanding heart. If we are blind to our own faults, we will not be very merciful towards others. Showing a little mercy goes a long way when life’s little mistakes take place. When the tables are turned, showing mercy towards someone’s shortcomings could cause us to receive some in return.

1.From the first paragraph we can learn that________________.

A. we all make a mess sometimes

B. we all need private space

C. we should accept others’ help with gratitude

D. we should not open the lid on the peanut butter jar

2.How does the author develop the third paragraph?

A. By raising questions.                                           B. By giving examples.

C. By analyzing opinions.                                         D. By showing research findings

3.The underlined part,       “When the tables are turned” in the last paragraph, can be best replaced by____________.

A. “When good luck comes”                                  B. “When benefits increase”

C. “When our mistakes happen”                           D. “When the situation is changed”

4.What would be the best title for this passage?

A. Changing Bad Daily Habits                                  B. Excusing Our Own Faults

C. Being Merciful Toward Others                          D. Working Toward Self-improvement

It seems hard to watch someone yawn（打哈欠）and not to yawn ourselves. Even reading about yawning can make you do it. Now, a new study has found why yawning has such a powerful force.

Yawning when others yawn, the study suggests, is a sign of pity and a form of social connection. Kids don’t develop this deeply rooted behavior until around age four, the study found. Kids with autism (自闭症) are less likely to catch yawns. In the most serious cases, they never do. Yawning might help doctors to see whether the children are developing rightly. The work could also lead to a better understanding of the ways that people communicate and connect.

“Emotional infection seems to be a born thing that connects us together,” said Molly Helt, a graduate student in psychology at the University of Connecticut. “Yawning may be part of that.” Inspiration for her study came when she tried to get her own autistic son to clear his ears on an airplane. She repeatedly yawned at him, hoping he would yawn back. He never did.

“The fact that autistic kids don’t do it might mean they’re really missing out on that emotional connection with people around them,” she said. “The biggest thing people try to figure out after birth is how we become humans and understand that humans have minds that are different from others’,” she added. “Autistic people never seem to understand that.”

Like infectious（有感染力的）laughter and crying, scientists have found that yawning is a shared experience that promotes social connection. Helt said it could fight stress after a period of being nervous and spread a feeling of calm through a group.

1.According to the first two paragraphs, what does the new study suggest?

A. It is easy to stop yawning when you see others yawn.

B. Yawning is a form of communication.

C. Children follow others in yawning just after they are born.

D. Yawning has some mysterious force which is related to God.

2.According to Molly Helt, _________.

A. yawning is a kind of emotional connection among humans

B. humans differ from animals because they communicate with others

C. emotions are infectious, but yawning is not

D. yawning helps clear ears on planes

3.Which of the following is NOT true about yawning?

A. It is natural to yawn back if people around you yawn.

B. Some kids are too young to yawn after others.

C. Kids with autism yawn easily when others yawn.

D. Yawning can be used to test children’s development.

4.The author implies in the last paragraph that ________.

A. it is bad manners to yawn on some social occasions

B. yawning can make people feel relaxed

C. the more you yawn, the happier you will be

D. yawning is different from infectious laughter and crying in theory
