Forgiving someone who has hurt you or let you down is never an easy thing. Several new studies, however, say that it could have a lot of health benefits. When you think of forgiveness, you probably don’t think of it as being a health or medical problem. St udies from Stanford University, on the other hand, show that something like anger can change your well-being.
When cartoon book characters like the Incredible Hulk get angry, they change colors and often gain special power. In the real world, anger is less obvious（明显的）and may be more dangerous. That’s why Professor Fred Luskin, founder of the Stanford Forgiveness Project and author of Forgive for Good, says holding on to anger and hatred（仇恨）can harm your physical and mental health. Two new studies seem to show the same idea.
The studies find that people who are able to forgive feel less stress, less back pain, and less depression（抑郁）. They also have fewer headaches, lower blood pressure, and fewer problems on sleeping.
So it doesn’t matter if your anger is c aused by the traffic or other things. Learning to let it go is important. Techniques such as deep breath or thought can help. Or just ask yourself if it’s worth hurting yourself by staying angry with someone else.
Forgiveness does not mean that you simply accept what happened and say it’s OK. Instead, it’s a way of making peace with yourself about what happened in the past.
51. The author of the passage tries to make his view clear__________.
A. by raising his own examples
B. by mentioning his own experience
C. by mentioning some studies
D. by mentioning some typical patients
52. The example of the cartoon book characters is taken in the passage to__________.
A. support the view that anger and hatred harm physical and mental health
B. introduce a famous expert
C. let the reader know the different colors of cartoon faces
D. show how to control one’s temper
53. The underlined phrase “holding on to”in this passage possibly means“__________”.
A. removing
B. keeping up
C. getting rid of
D. learning about
54. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in this passage?
A. People who are able to forgive feel less stress.
B. People who are able to forgive feel less depression.
C. People who are able to forgive have fewer problems on sleeping.
D. People who are able to forgive feel less tired.
55. The best title for this passage is probably__________.
A. Forgiveness
B. Forgiveness Is Good for Health
C. A Secret to Keeping Health
D. Anger Is Bad for Health
C
It was a lovely spring day and I was returning from the market with a few things we needed.
I was frustrated（沮丧的）because there were so many things I wished I could do for my children and for myself but I lacked(缺乏；没有)the time for either. Besides, I didn’t have enough money.
As I turned the old car into the driveway, I noticed my son on the front porch（门廊）with a little girl about his age. She was in old clothes and was in need of a bath. She wore thick glasses and her hair was cut unevenly（参差不齐地）.I thought back on the times when I had tried to give my own children haircuts to save money and regretted the outcome almost as much as they did. I saw my son give her some money and she carefully handed him what looked to be a broken glass ball. She wandered off while I was unloading(卸货) the groceries.
When my son came to help me, I asked him who the little girl was and what she wanted. He explained that she had come to the door trying to sell her piggy bank（零钱罐）and that he had purchased it. I bit my tongue. I had sacrificed（牺牲）in order to give the children a few dollars for their good grades in school, but he spent the money on a worthless piece of junk! I asked him why he had done such a thing and his response brought tears to my eyes. He said, "Well, Mom, she really looked like she needed the money. I didn't want to make her feel bad by just giving her the money. I think she needed it more than me."
Years have passed since I drove in the driveway in the old car and saw my seven-year-old son helping someone less fortunate, but the piggy bank remains high atop(在…顶上) my refrigerator to remind me that there is goodness, kindness and unselfishness in the world.
56. What can we learn about the author from the passage?
A. She had plenty of time.
B. She spent a lot of time with her children.

D. She was kind and unselfish.
57. What does the underlined word "they" in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The little girl's old clothes.
B. The children's haircuts.
C. The little girl's haircut.
D. The author's children.
58. What brought tears to the author's eyes?
A. She had sacrificed a few dollars to her children.
B. Her son bought a worthless piece of junk(废旧杂物).
C. Her son told her why he bought the piggy bank.
D. She lacked the time and money for the children.
