1 . What can you do when someone hurts (伤害) you? Most people may be angry or even fight with the one who hurts him or her. But it’s not a good idea. The best way is to forgive (原谅) them.
If the people hurt us, although it is not easy for us to forgive, it is still possible. “Forgiveness makes you more hopeful. And it is good for our health,” says Frederic, Ph. D, the writer of the book called Forgive for God.
But how can we forgive others?
First, think of something nice and try to make yourself happy.
Second, don’t wait others to say sorry to you. If the people hurt you, he or she won’t say sorry to you. They may just want to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way.
Third, try to see things in others’ shoes. You can think you are the offender (冒犯者), and write a letter to yourself.
That can make you know their ideas better and make yourself happier.
At last, don’t forget to forgive yourself. For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge (挑战).
And it also makes you more confident (自信的).

In ancient time, only the Greeks took part in the Olympics, and women were not allowed to join or watch them.
The first modern Olympics were held in Athens, Greece in 1896. Every four years, athletes (运动员) from all over the world take part in different sports at the Olympics. Many of these athletes are women. A large group of athletes at the Olympics take part in track and field events. Track events, such as running, test a person’s speed. Field events, such as the high jump, long jump and shot put, test how high or far someone can jump or throw an object.
One of the most exciting events in the Olympics is the 100-meter race. More than one hundred years ago, the world record for the men’s 100-meter race was 10.6 seconds. However, athletes have run faster and faster. In 1960, the record was 10 seconds. Then at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the record was set at 9.69 seconds. The Olympic motto (格言) “Faster, Higher, Stronger” is what the Olympics are all about.
