For centuries, magicians have used various ways to shock the audience. We all have seen how a   36   performer carefully steps   37   a bed of burning coals -- barefoot. Then he walks across   38   a single burn on his feet. Is it mind over matter, or is it just physics? As it turns   __39  , walking on burning coals isn’t that hot as   40  . “The coals are hot enough to   41__  you, but if you walk quickly across them you   42   being burned.” says Jonathan Hall, a physician at Penn State University in Eric Pennsylvania.

That’s because some coals are made   43   burning wood chips. Wood has two   44__   properties(特性)for fire-walking, explains Hall. First, wood is an insulator(绝缘体)--it doesn’t   __45   heat very well. “It   46 _ time for heat to travel   47   the wood to your feet.” Hall says. If the performer walked across red-hot metal   48  , that would truly be   49  , because metal conducts, or transmits, heat very well. The metal would   50   burn a performer’s feet.

Second, wood has a low specific heat-- it doesn’t take much heat to   51   its temperature. Heat is a form of   52  . Temperature is a   53   of heat, in units of degrees. So   54   the coals are hot, the value(数值)of heat energy they contain is low. Thus, a well-trained performer can   55   such an amazing result.

Still, you don’t want to walk on burning coals, do you?

Dear Diary,

Here I am in the middle of a city, 350 miles away from our farmhouse. Do you want to know why we move last week? Dad had lost his job last year. As Mom explained, he was lucky to find other one. His new job meant I had to say goodbye to my classmate, my school or just everything else I love in the world. To make matters bad, now I have to share a room with my younger sister, Maggie. Tomorrow is first day of school. I am awfully tiring, but I know I will never fall sleep.Please remember, you, dear diary, is my only souvenir from my past life andmy best friend. Good night.

Yours,

Rosemary

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两处为多余选项。

To forgive is a virtue, but no one has ever said it is easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research.

    1.   Try the following steps:

Calm yourself.    2.    You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.

Don’t wait for an apology. Many times the persons who hurt you do not intend to apologize. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way.   3.   Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.

Take the control away from your offender (冒犯者). Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who causes you pain. Instead of piling your sad feelings in your heart, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you.

   4.   If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love. You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender’s point of view.

Don’t forget to forgive yourself.    5.   But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don’t do it.

A.Why should you forgive?       

B.How should you start to forgive?

C.Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.

D.Try to see things from your offender’s angle.

E.For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.

F.To make your anger die away, try a simple stress-management technique.

G.If you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time.
