There were sign telling us to wash hands frequently and wearing masks. Ms. Chen, our headteacher, greeted us warm in the classroom. A mask was covered most of her face, but her eyes were shining.

Forgiveness comes from a positive attitude and a friendly nature. The process of it can be a releasing experience. In truth, forgiveness can only occur when we have been given the gift of the ability to make choices. 1.
The choice of offering forgiveness develops along three steps.
At step one you are filled with self-justified anger. At some point in your life you have been hurt and you are mad at the person who you feel has wronged you. You blame the person committing the wrong. 2. You have forgotten that you have a choice as to how you will react.
The second step toward forgiveness emerges (出现) when after feeling angry with someone for a while you realize that the anger does not make you feel good. 3. So you take steps to forgive. You may begin to see the problem from the other person’s point of view or you may simply decide to let the problem go. 4.
The third step of forgiveness comes after you have seen the beneficial results of forgiveness and you don’t want to waste your precious life in discomfort. In this step the choice is to work to either repair the relationship or let go of seeing the situation as a problem. 5. At this step you are aware that the length of time you experience the situation as a sorrow is primarily up to you.
A.If you want to forgive someone,no one can stop us.
B.We have the choice to forgive or not to forgive and no one can force us to do either.
C.In either case you decide to forgive because you have had some practice with it and seen the benefit in your life.
D.It is their action and not your choice of response that you feel causes your anger.
E.In either case you are no longer angry or you have forgiven the person.
F.This could emerge in a situation where you are cut off by another car on the road.
G.It may hurt your emotional balance or your physical health.
“This has gone as well as I could have dreamed, and I can fly in the near future!” Yes, Alyssa Carson, a now-18-year-old astronaut from Baton Rouge, Louisiana is capable. For her, riding the most aggressive roller coaster in the park is not a big deal. If all goes according to her plans, NASA will send her to Mars in 2033, making her the first human to step foot on the planet. She will spend two to three years living there, growing food, performing science experiments and searching for signs of life. “The Martian is actually very accurate,” she said. “A lot of things that happened in the movie are similar to what is going to happen.” She has devoted her entire life to preparing for her journey.
Her love for space started when she watched a cartoon called The Backyardigans at the age of 3. Five animal pals on imaginary adventures in their backyard, including one part-a mission to Mars. “I thought ‘This red planet is so cool!’” she said. “I started watching videos of rovers’ landing on Mars. I had a large map of Mars in my room which I would look at every day. I started getting telescopes so I could look at space.
At 7, her father took her to space camp in Huntsville, Alabama. “That was the weekend of my life.” she said. I got to learn everything I had been wanting to know and I got to see a life-size rocket.” She cherished the rocket so much that she returned 18 times. At 12, she became the first person in history to attend all three NASA space camps in Huntsville, Alabama; Quebec, Canada and Izmir, Turkey.
At first she mastered the basics of space and how humans have explored it throughout time. As she got older she simulated (模拟) missions, trying to reach a destination in gravity-free, weightless zones.
When she was 9, she met NASA astronaut Sandra Magnus. The experienced explorer told her she was her age when she decided to go to space. At that moment Alyssa knew her love of space was not a hobby. “I did the same thing as other kids, like switching my mind about careers, wanting to be a teacher or the president one day,” she said. “But the way I always thought about it was I would become an astronaut, go to Mars, come back, and then be a teacher or the president.”
