Katie was in big trouble.She was such a sweet kid; a thirdgrade teacher always dreamed of having a classroom filled with Katies; she was never ever a discipline(纪律) problem. I just couldn't imagine why she had made her parents so angry.
It seemed that Katie had been running up sizable charges in the lunchroom.Her parents explained that Katie brought a great homemade lunch each day, and there was no reason for her to buy school lunch. They assumed a sitdown with Katie would solve the problem, but failed.So they asked me to help them get to the bottom of this situation.
So the next day, I asked Katie to my office.“Why are you charging lunches, Katie? What happened to your homemade lunch？” I asked. “I lose it，” she responded. I leaned back in my chair and said, “I don't believe you, Katie.” She didn't care.“Is someone stealing your lunch, Katie？” I took a new track. “No.I just lose it，” she said.Well, there was nothing else I could do.
The problem was still unsolved the next week when I noticed a boy who was new to the school sitting alone at a lunch table. He always looked sad.I thought I would go and sit with him for a while.As I walked towards him, I noticed the lunch bag on the table. The name on the bag said “ Katie ” .
Now I understood and I talked to Katie.It seemed that the new boy never brought a lunch, and he wouldn't go to the lunch line for a free lunch.He had told Katie his secret and asked her not to tell anyone that his parents wanted him to get a free lunch at school. Katie asked me not to tell her parents, but I drove to her house that evening after I was sure that she was in bed. I had never seen parents so proud of their child.Katie didn't care that her parents and teacher were disappointed in her.But she cared about a little boy who was hungry and scared.
Katie still buys lunch every day at school. And every day, as she heads out of the door, her mom hands her a delicious homemade lunch.

So many of us hold on to little complaints that may have come from an argument, a misunderstanding, the way we were raised, or some other painful events. Stubbornly, we wait for someone else to reach out to us—believing this is the only way we can forgive or rekindle a friendship or family relationship.
A friend of mine, recently told me that she hadn't spoken to her son in almost three years. She said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldn't speak to him again unless he called first. When I suggested that she be the one to reach out, she said, “I can't do that. He's the one who should apologize.” After a little gentle encouragement, however, she did decide to be the first one to reach out. To her amazement, her son was grateful for her willingness to call and offered an apology of his own. As is usually the case when someone takes the chance and reaches out, everyone wins.
Whenever we hold on to our anger, we turn “small stuff(问题)” into really “big stuff” in our minds. We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness. They are not. If you want to be a more peaceful person you must understand that being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy. The way to be happy is to let go, and reach out. Let other people be right. This doesn't mean that you're wrong. Everything will be fine. You'll experience the peace of letting go, as well as the joy of letting others be right.
You'll also notice that, as you reach out and let others be “right，” they will become less defensive and more loving toward you. They might even reach back. But, if for some reason they don't, that's okay too. You'll have the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your part to create a more loving world, and certainly you'll be more peaceful yourself.
文章大意：该文章主要告诉我们在与别人争执时先向对方道歉，缓解朋友之间的关系，享受友情。
5．The underlined word “rekindle” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”．
A．recover B．develop
C．accept D．replace
答案：A 猜测词义题。recover修复；develop发展；accept接受；replace代替。根据前文的forgive判断选A。
6．In the author's opinion, we hold on to our anger often because we think ________.
A．we can turn small issues into big ones
B．our positions are higher than others
C．our own opinions matter most
D．others will be less defensive
答案：C 细节理解题。根据文章第三段前两句话Whenever we hold on to our anger, we turn “small stuff(问题)” into really “big stuff” in our minds. We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness可知我们总是认为我们自己的意见更重要。故选C。
7．The best thing to do after a quarrel is to ______.
A．let go of our own rights
B．realize that you are wrong
C．expect others to give in
D．apologize to others first
答案：D 推理判断题。根据文章第二段的故事可知争吵之后要做的最好的事情就是首先要向对方道歉，故选D。
8．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Be Peaceful B．Reach Out and Give
C．Small and Big Stuff D．Enjoy Your Friendship
答案：B 主旨大意题。A项是和平的；B项是给予和道歉；C项是小的和大的问题；D项是享受你的友谊。通读全文，并根据第二、三段的内容可知是给予和道歉，故选B。

答案：
1．would be 此处表示“从来没有想到会做……”，故从句用过去将来时。
2．naturally 修饰动词happen应用副词。

4．had left leave her luggage这一动作发生在过去动作told之前，应用过去完成时。
5．it send的宾语指的是前面提到的行李，故用代词it代替。
