（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.

听力原文：Woman: If you have to deal with a customer who keeps ringing your office about a problem you think you've already dealt with, it's important to be forceful. Make them understand that you really sympathise with their problem, but decide on a course of action early in the conversation and try to keep it moving quickly to avoid any difficult areas. If you can, it might be worth your while trying to discover if there is another reason for their persistence, to try to do something about it before they call again.

You turn on the radio and hear a woman giving advice to business people. What advice does she give about dealing with customers？

A．Don't let them force you to agree to something.

B．Don't be too sympathetic towards them.

C．Don't allow them to stay on the phone too long.

A、Just let it go.

B、Mark it down and clarify it later.

C、Try to repair immediately on site.

D、Guess and put something else to replace it.

段落翻译： There are several key abilities that allow successful people to fail forward instead of taking each setback personally. First, successful people don’t blame themselves when they fail. They take responsibility for each setback, but they don’t take the failure personally. Second, successful people don’t define themselves by individual failures. They recognize that each setback is a small part of the whole. Third, achievers are willing to vary their approaches to problems. That’s important in every walk of life. If one approach doesn’t work for you, if it brings repeated failure, then try something else. To fail forward, you must do what works for you, not necessarily what works for other people. Finally, successful people are resilient. They don’t let one error keep them down. They learn from their mistakes and move on.

Good Communication for Making Friends As a communication skills trainer, I've met a wide range of people. Some people have trouble associating with others and have difficulty making friends. So I would like to discuss two key points to making good friends. The first is to show respect and love for your friends through your words. Try to say things to others that would feel good to you if you heard them. For example, say things like, "Thanks for the great time" and "It was really nice to get to know you."If you are not good at speaking, then smiling and using body language to express your sincerity is also an effective way to communicate. Additionally, I recommend that when you meet someone new send them an e-mail or letter before the day is over to express how nice it was to meet them. The goal of good communication is to reach another person's heart and form a comfortable relationship. It is, therefore, based the premise that you get rid of your worries and become a bright and positive person. When there is static noise over the phone line, you can't hear the other person clearly, right？ In the same way, when your mind is full of worries and you try to communicate with another person, you cannot give or receive messages accurately. For example, let's say you are still tied to a past wound of being betrayed by a friend and feeling hurts .Even if you meet someone new and he or she tells you, "Let's be good friends," you may not be able to accept it because you will hear a negative inner voice saying something like "I might be betrayed again" or "the person might have a hidden agenda.” With this worry in your mind, you will not be able to make friends. If you can be refreshed and get rid of your worries, you should be able to sense others' thoughts and feelings without prejudice and build a relationship of trust. If you really can't let go of your painful past experience, then try to change your perspective on the experience. For example, try to think that it was a necessary lesson for you to understand others' pain. If you can think of the positive intention behind the event, then you will be able to view the experience favorably and feel better. 1. The main topic of the passage is________.

A、how to communicate with others

B、how to refresh yourself

C、how to forget the past unhappiness

D、how to show respect and love for your friends

听力原文： (29)People from different cultures sometimes do things that make each other uncomfortable, sometimes without realizing it. Most Americans have never been out of the country and have very little experience with foreigners. But they are usually spontaneous, friendly and open, and enjoy meeting new people, having guests and bringing people together formally or informally. They tend to use first names in most situations and speak freely about themselves. (30) So if your American hosts do something that makes you uncomfortable, try to let them know how you feel. Most people will appreciate your honesty and try not to make you uncomfortable again. And you'll learn something about another culture!

(29) Many travelers find it easier to meet people in the US than in other countries. They may just come up and introduce themselves or even invite you over before they really know you.

Sometimes Americans are said to be superficially friendly. Perhaps it seems so, but they are probably just having a good time. Just like anywhere else, it takes time to become real friends with people in the US.

(31)If and when you stay with American friends, they will probably enjoy introducing you to their friends and family, and if they seem proud to know you, it's probably because they are. Relax and enjoy it!

(30)

A．The cultural heritage of Americans.

B．How to deal with Americans.

C．How to do business with Americans.

D．How to travel to America.
