A

Mr Darcy had been standing near enough for Elizabeth to overhear (偷听) a talk between him and Mr Bingley, who came from the dance for a few minutes, to force his friend to join it.

“Come, Darcy,”said he. “I must have you dance. I hate to see you standing about by yourself in this stupid manner. You had much better dance.”

“I certainly shall not. You know how I hate it, unless I am particularly familiar (熟悉的) with my partner. Your sisters are engaged (订婚), and there is not another woman in the room who it would not be a punishment to me to stand up with.”

“I would not be so hard to please as you do,” cried Mr Bingley, “Upon my honour, I never met with so many pleasant girls in my life as I have this evening; and there are several of them you see uncommonly pretty!”

“You are dancing with the only handsome girl in the room,” said Mr Darcy, looking at the eldest Miss Benne.

“Oh! She is the most beautiful creature I have ever seen! But there is one of her sisters sitting down just behind you, who is very pretty. Do let me ask my partner to introduce you.”

“Which do you mean?”and turning round he looked for a moment at Elizabeth, till catching her eye, he drew back his own and coldly said, “She is tolerable (可以容忍的), but not handsome enough to interest me; I am in no humour at present to give consequence (结论) to your ladies who are slighted (轻视) by other men. You had better return to your partner and enjoy her smiles, for you are wasting your time with me.”

Mr Bingley followed his advice. Darcy walked off; and Elizabeth remained with no very good feelings towards him.

26. Who was Miss Benne?

A. Mr Bingley’s sister.

B. Mr Darcy’s sister.

C. Mr Darcy’s friend.

D. Elizabeth’s sister.

B. Mr Bingley wanted Mr Darcy to dance with Elizabeth.

C. Elizabeth was waiting for Mr Darcy to invite her to dance.

D. Elizabeth wanted to hear the talk between Mr Bingley and Mr Darcy.

28. Which of the following is true?

A. Mr Darcy didn’t like dancing with girls.

B. Mr Darcy was a very self-proud young man.

Forgiving (宽恕) 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 (好处). When you think of forgiveness, you probably don’t think of it as being a health or medical problem. Studies 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

colours and often gain special power. In the real world, anger is less clear and may be more dangerous. That’s why Professor Fred Luskin, founder of the Stanford Forgiveness Project and writer of Forgive for Good, says holding on to anger and hatred 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 sadness or hopelessness. They also have fewer headaches, lower blood pressure, and fewer problems on sleeping.

So it doesn’t matter if your anger is caused 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 simpl y accept what happened and say it’s OK. Instead, it’s a way of making peace with yourself about what happened in the past.

29. The writer of the passage tries to make his point clear by ______.

A. mentioning some studies

B. sharing his own experience

C. raising some questions

D. mentioning some health problems

30. The example of the cartoon book characters is taken in the passage to ______.

A. show how to control oneself

B. introduce a famous professor

C. support his point on anger and hatred

D. tell the readers cartoon characters are powerful when they get angry

31. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in this passage?

A. It’s not easy to know if you are angry.

B. People who are able to forgive feel less tired.

C. It’s hard to forgive someone who hurts you.

D. You can let your anger go by breathing deeply.

32. The best title for this passage is probably ______.

A. Forgiving Others Is Hard

B. Anger Is Bad for Health

C. Learning to Forgive Is Important

D. Forgiveness Is Good for Health
