When a friend does something less-than-kind like breaking something precious, embarrassing or excluding kids, it’s understandable that children feel hurt, betrayed, angry or bitter. Some may get even with the friend by doing something worse, which, however, only worsens conflicts. Children may feel caught in the tension between wanting to keep the friend and feeling unable to let go of bitterness about a serious offense.

Reine C. van der Wai and colleagues define forgiveness as the process of controlling the automatic negative thoughts and feelings that spring up when someone upsets us and instead treating that person with kindness. They argue that forgiveness is an essential skill for maintaining long-term friendships.

Parents can play a dominant role in teaching children about forgiveness. Children watch how adults in their lives respond when someone does something unkind. Do they let it go or complain to others or speak directly to the person involved? How long does it take them to get over being mad and how? Sometimes parents instruct children directly about how to react to friends’ mistakes, promoting responses ranging from “Don’t let him walk all over you and fight back!” to “He didn’t mean it.” or “Everyone makes mistakes, depending on the situation and the family values.”

There’s a delicate balance that children need to strike when it comes to forgiveness. On the one hand, passively tolerating and excusing on-going mean behavior definitely isn't healthy. Research shows that long term, repeatedly forgiving people who don’t mend their ways eats away at self-respect. On the other hand, kids need to understand that no one is perfect, so generously and sympathetically forgiving a well-meaning friend is a caring thing to do.

Here are some guidelines that might help your child figure out when it’s time to let it go and forgive someone. If it only happened one time, and it probably won’t happen again, let it go. If your friend didn’t do it on purpose, let it go. If it wasn’t that bad, let it go. If your friend is really sorry, let it go. If it was just a mistake and the friend is usually kind, let it go. If it happened more than a month ago, definitely let it go.

Holding onto hatred is emotionally costly. Sometimes, forgiveness is the right thing to do, not because the other person deserves it, but because we deserve not to be weighed down with bitterness.

1.When a friend does something unfriendly, what is NOT the possible response of the children according to Paragraph 1?

A.They are in a dilemma.

B.They intensify the contradiction.

C.They are upset, disappointed or annoyed.

D.They consider the offence understandable.

2.Children are educated about forgiveness in a family by _______.

A.taking the family values into account

B.speaking directly to the related person

C.observing parents’ reactions to a person doing something unpleasant

D.following the instructions like ignoring a friend or forgiving the mistakes

3.Which of the following is NOT right according to the passage?

A.If your friend didn’t do it deliberately, let it go.

B.Pursuing perfectionism contributes to forgiving a well-intentioned person.

C.Continuously forgiving people who fail to reform will lead to lack of confidence.

D.On some occasions, forgiving the other person is psychologically beneficial for us.

4.What is the attitude of Reine C. van der Wai and colleagues towards forgiveness?

A.Favorable. B.Neutral.

C.Pessimistic. D.Critical.

Imagine you receive an e-mail that looks something like this: ARE YOU GOING TO CLASS TODAY? How does reading this message make you feel? Was he or she angry or did that person just forget to turn off the ‘Caps Lock’ on the computer? The fact is that this e-mail “sounds” like the writer is shouting because using all capital letters in an e-mail is usually the way that people shout online. Knowing when to and when not to use capital letters is just one example of online etiquette(规矩)often called netiquette.1. Following are some of her suggestions.

First always remember that you are sending messages to a real person not just to a computer. Don’t type anything that you wouldn’t say to someone’s face. 2. So make sure your meaning is clear.

Don’t do anything online that you wouldn’t do in real life. Don’t take anything without paying for it unless it's free. Don’t read other people’s e-mail—you wouldn’t you’re your next-door neighbor’s mailbox and open their mail right? And do share your knowledge of the Internet with others.3.

4. Good writing skills as well as correct grammar and spelling do matter. Send polite well-written e-mail messages to others. If you’re uncertain about how to spell a word or which phrase to use, look it up. There are lots of helpful books and websites.

It’s okay to express your opinions online in forums like chat rooms or message boards for example “MSN” or “QQ” but don’t start arguments with people. 5. But they are often unfair to other members of the group. Express your ideas but remember that fighting on or offline is just not right.

A. Remember you’re not the only one online.

B. “Flame wars” in online discussion can be interesting to read.

C. Try to respect others, such as their space, privacy, and feelings.

D. It’s a big place with lots of information and there fire many new things to discover.

E. Remember that people judge you by your words and your actions, so do try to write well.

F. Also remember that he cannot hear the tone of your voice or see the expressive on your face.

G. Virginia Shea’s book Netiquette lists a basic set of dos and don’ts for communicating rightly with others online.

When I was ten years old I went to the USA to visit some family friends. I noticed something funny about the way everyone spoke English.

One moment! I remember very clearly was at the beginning of the holiday, when my friend asked me if I wanted to order “French fries”. I couldn’t imagine what they were. She was amazed that I had never tried them and she ordered a portion for us to share. When the waiter brought us some chips, I asked her where the French fries were. She pointed at the plate of chips! Later that week she said she was going to buy some “chips” from the supermarket. She came out with a packet of crisps（薯片）! How come?

During that holiday we were also offered “biscuits” with our lunch. This was a very strange idea to me, because in England biscuits are sweet. I later realized that “biscuits” in America are salty snacks. What we call “biscuits’, they call “cookies”.

I was also embarrassed when a stranger told me she liked my “pants”. I wondered how she could see them! My mum then told me that they call “pants” what we call “trousers”, the outer clothing that you wear on your legs instead of inside clothing!

I was disgusted when I saw an “eggplant” pizza on the menu in a restaurant. But I was puzzled how eggs can grow on plants. My dad ordered this pizza and it was covered in aubergines（茄子）. “They call aubergines ‘eggplant’ in America!” he told me.

I think part of the excitement of learning a language is learning about the differences that exist in how it is spoken in different places.
