课时跟踪练(一)Introduction & Reading—Pre-reading Ⅰ.阅读理解AForgiving 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 benefits to your health. When you think of forgiveness, you probably don’t think of it as a health or medical problem. Studies from Stanford University, on the other hand, show that something like anger can affect your wellbeing.When cartoon characters like the Incredible Hulk get angry,they change colours and often gain special power. In the real world,anger is less obvious and may be more dangerous. That’s whyProfessor Fred Luskin, founder of the Stanford ForgivenessProject and author of ForgiveforGood, says holding_on_to angerand 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 depression. They also have fewer headaches, lower blood pressure, and fewer problems on sleeping.So it doesn’t matter if your anger is caused by 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 simply accept what happened and say it’s OK. Instead, it’s a way of making peace with yourself about what happened in the past.语篇解读：本文讲述了宽恕的好处。

BBottled water has become the choice for people who are healthy and thirsty. Bottled water is all over the world. But some say the planet’s health, and people’s health may be suffering from it.The idea that bottled water is safer for humans may not be true.The Natural Resources Defense Council of America said，“There isno promise that because water comes out of a bottle, it is cleaneror safer tha n water from the tap.” Another New York Citybasedaction group added that some bottled water is “really just tap water in a bottle —sometimes more clean, sometimes not.”It is not proven that bottled water is better than tap water. Nick Reeves from the C hartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management said, “The high mineral content (含量) of some bottled water makes them not good for feeding babies and young children.” Also, most bottled water doesn’t have fluoride (氟化物), which can make teeth stronger.Kids are drinking more bottled water and less fluoridated tap water, and some say that’s behind the recent rise in bad teeth.Storing is another problem. Placed near heat, the plastic bottles can producebad chemicals (化学物质) into the water.According to the Environmental Protection Agency, some 2.7 million tons of plastic are used worldwide to bottle water each year. The plastic can take between 400 and 1,000 years to break down.In terms of energy use，plastic bottles are also not cheap. One report said that if water and soft drink bottlers had used 10 percent recycled materials in their plastic bottles, they would have saved about 72 million gallons of gas.So, if you are worried about the effect of bottled water on the Earth, you can take the following steps.●Drink from your tap. Unless your government warns against this, it should be fine.●Get a container (容器). Carry your tap water in a steel or a lined drinking container, and clean it between uses.●Keep it cool. Don’t drink from a bottle that has been sitting in the sun, don’t store it near chemicals, and don’t reuse plastic bottles.●Choose glass containers over plastic if possible.When finished, recycle!语篇解读：本文主要讲述了全世界都在使用瓶装水。
