Human growth is a process of experimentation, trial, and error eventually leading to wisdom. Each time you choose to trust yourself and take action, you can never quite be certain how the situation will 36
Sometimes you are victorious, and sometimes you become disappointed. The 37 experiments, however, are no less valuable than the experiments that finally prove successful; in fact, you
38 learn more from your "failures" than you do from your 39 . If you have made what you think to be a mistake or failed to live up to your own 40 you will most likely put up a barrier between your essence and the part of you that is the alleged (F 7/ßfikJ) wrong-doer.
However, viewing past actions as 41 implies guilt and blame, and it is not possible to learn anything meaning while you are engaged in blaming. _______,42 forgiveness is required when you are severely judging yourself. Forgiveness is the act of erasing an 43 debt. There are four kinds of forgiveness.
The first is beginner forgiveness for yourself.

The third kind of forgiveness is 44 forgiveness of yourself. This is for serious misbehaviors, the ones you carry with deep 45 . When you do something that violates your own values and principles, you create a gap between your standards and your actual 46
In such a case, you need to work very hard at 47 yourself for these deeds so that you can close this gap. This does not 48 that you should rush to forgive yourself or shouldn't feel regret, 49 taking pleasure in these feelings for a prolonged period of time is not healthy.
The 50 and perhaps most difficult one is the advanced forgiveness of another.
At some time of our life, you may have been severely wronged or hurt by another person to such a degree that forgiveness seems 51
However, harboring anger and revenge fantasies only keeps you 52 in victimhood. Under such a circumstance, you should force yourself to see the bigger picture. By so doing, you will be able to 53 the focus away from the anger and resentment.

5 Secrets of Web Travel Sites
Booking a trip on an online travel site is convenient, but comes with its own set of problems.
1.They who's on a Mac and who's on a PC and who's going to spend more.
Last year, US travel research company Orbitz tracked people's online activities to test out whether Mac users spend more on travel than PC users. On average, Mac users lay out US$20-30 more per night on hotels and go for more stars. according to the Wall Street Journal. As a result, online• travel sites show these users more expensive travel options first. To avoid inadvertently paying more, sort results by price.
2.Their software doesn't always hook up to the hotel's system.
A guaranteed reservation is almost impossible to come by anywhere — but the risk of your flight or hotel being overbooked increases with third-party providers. The middle-man's software isn't immune to system errors, so always call the hotel or airline to make sure your booking was processed.
3.Don't be fooled by packages: Often, they're low-end items grouped together.
Ever notice how travel sites recommend a hotel, a rental car, and tour package all in one click? These deals usually feature travel that no one wants, like flights with multiple layovers.
Check the fine print.
4.You could miss out on loyalty points.
Third-party providers can get between you and frequent flyer miles or points. Many hotel loyalty programmes don't recognise external sites, others award only minimum points and exclude special offers, like double points on hotel stays.
5.Once your trip is purchased, you're on your own.
An online travel agency can't provide assistance the same way an agent can if a flight is cancelled or a room is substandard. Basically, when you arrive at the airport or hotel, you're just another client who booked at the lowest rate.
56.Which ofthe following is TRUE?
A.Third-party providers can ensure your reservation.
B. Mac users are likely to spend more money than PC users.
C.An online travel agency functions the same as an agent.
D.Packages usually provide travelers with satisfactory programmes.
57.What's the purpose of the passage?
A.To encourage readers to book a trip on an online travel site.
B. To make an advertisement about several travel sites online.
C. To convince readers not to book a trip on an online travel site.
D.To warn readers of some problems with booking trips online.
B
Want to add some hours to your day? Ok, you probably can't change the fabric of time. But a new study suggests that the way you feel about your goal can change your concept of time and that some simple strategies could make you feel less rushed.
In a series of experiments, Jordan Etkin, a professor of marketing at Duke, and her co-authors, Loannis Evangelidis and Jennifer Aaker, looked at what happens when people see their goals as conflicting with one another. In one, they asked some participants to list two of their goals that they felt were in conflict, and others simply to list two of their goals. Those who were forced to think about conflicting aims felt more time pressure than those who weren't. In another experiment, the researchers gave participants a similar prompt regarding goal conflict, but this time measured their anxiety levels as well as their attitudes toward time. They found that participants who thought about conflicting goals had more anxiety than those who didn't, and that this, in turn, led to feelings of being short on time.
"Stress and anxiety and time pressure are closely linked concepts," D. Etkin explained. "When we feel more stress and anxiety in relation to our personal goals, that manifests as a sense of having less time."
Technological advances that allow people to do lots of things at once may increase the fe'eling of goal conflict, she said.
"I think the easier it is for us to try to deal with a lot of these things at the same time,"
She said"the more opportunity there is for us to feel this conflict between our goals."
She isn't the first to suggest that actual busyness isn't the only thing that can make us
Feel busy At the Atlantic, Derek Thompson wrote that "as a country, we're working less than we did in the 1960s and 1980s." He offered a number of possible reasons some Americans still feel so overworked, including "the fluidness ffl±) of work and leisure." As he put it:
"The idea that work begins and ends at the office is wrong. On the one hand, flexibility is nice, On the other, mixing work and leisure together creates an always-on expectation that makes it hard for white-collar workers to escape the shadow of work responsibilities."
And Brigid Schulte writes in her 2014 book Overwhelmed: How to Work, Love, and Play When No One Has the Time that some researchers believe "time has no sharp edges. What often matters more than the activity we're doing at a moment in time, they have found, is how we feel about it.Our concept of time is indeed,our reality.”
Fortunately, Dr. Etkin and her team did find ways of making us feel better about time—or, at least, of reducing the negative influence of goal conflict. When participants performed a breathing exercise that reduced their anxiety, the impact of such conflict on their perception of time was less pronounced. Reframing anxiety as excitement (by reading the phrase "I am excited!" aloud several times) had a similar effect.
Breathing and reframing may not solve everyone's time problems—Ms. Schulte writes that some Americans are indeed working more than they used to. She cites the work of the sociologists Michael Hout and Caroline Hanley, who have "found that working parents combined put in 13 more hours a week on the job in 2000 than they did in 1970. That's 676 hours of additionally paid work a year for a family. And that's on top of all the unpaid hours spent caring for children and keeping the house together." Sometimes, we may feel short on time because we actually are. However, Dr. Etkin believes her findings suggest we may "have the ability to influence our experience of time more than we think we do."
"We're all going to have times in our lives when our goals seem to be
