True forgiveness is one of the most remarkable qualities a human can possess!

In the fighting between two countries in the 1970s, a young man was walking from one village to the next when he was   21   by an armed guerrilla (游擊隊) fighter from the enemy country. The fighter   22   the young man down the hill where he was to be   23  .

But a (n)   24   thing happened. The young man, who had   25   military (軍事的) training, was able to disarm (解除武裝) the fighter. Now, the table was   26  , and it was the fighter who was ordered down the hill.

As they walked,   27 , the young man began to reflect on what was happening. Recalling the   28   of his mother, “Love your enemies; do good to those who   29   you.” he found he could go no further. He   30   the gun into the bushes, told the fighter he was   31   to go and turned back   32   the hill.

Minutes later, he heard footsteps   33   behind him as he walked. “Is this the end after all?” he   34  . Perhaps the fighter had got the gun and wanted to finish him off.

But he continued on,   35   glancing back, until his enemy reached him, only to grab him in a hug and pour out   36   for sparing his life.

Mercy often wears the face of   37  . And though it usually isn’t an enemy in uniform that we are challenged to forgive, we have   38   for mercy every day. Family members and friends, co-workers and neighbors and even strangers have   39   for our forgiveness. You know who they are.

As Mahatma Gandhi said, “The   40  can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute(特性) of the strong.” Be strong. Forgive.

There are many ways of defining success.It is accurate to say that each of us has our own ideas of success to the extent that each of us is responsible for setting our own goals and determining whether we have met these goals satisfactorily.Because each of us possesses unique differences in genetic ability and favorable environments in which to express these abilities，it is necessarily true that we must define success broadly.

For some people，simply being able to live their life with the least misery and suffering is considered a success.Think of the peace of mind of the poor shepherd who tends his sheep，enjoys his simple life with his family in the beauty of nature，and who is respected because he does a good job of achieving the goals expected of him and accepted by his family and his society. On the other hand，it seems that even though some people appear to be rich in material possessions，many of them seem to be miserable and consider themselves unsuccessful when judged by their own standards of success.Because not all ventures can be successful，one should not set unrealistic goals for achieving success，but if one has self­confidence it would be unfortunate to set one's goals at a too low level of achievement.

A wise man once said to a young man who was experiencing frustration(失敗) with his own professional success，“You do not have to set your goal to reach the moon in order to have success in traveling.Sometimes one can be very successful merely by taking a walk in the park or riding the subway downtown.”The man added，“You have not really failed and spoiled your chances for success until you have been unsuccessful at something you really like，and to which you have given your best effort.”

36．According to the first paragraph，what is implied as basics in achieving success?

A．Ability and goals.

B．Goals and determination.

C．Ability and environments.

D．Goals and environments.

37．Some rich people consider themselves unsuccessful because ________．

A．their life is busy and miserable

B．they haven't reached their own standards

C．they set their goals at a very low level

D．they are not rich in material possessions

38．From the last paragraph we can tell that ________．

A．success means achieving great goals

B．success comes from setting great goals

C．success means efforts and favorites pay off

D．success has nothing to do with the distance of your travel
