Finding Light in The Darkness: Grieving Through The Holidays Although it may seem unfair to those of us who have lost a life partner, child, parent, or close friend, the holiday season has returned. And with its return all of the expectations and disappointments that normally riddle this season with contradictory emotions are exacerbated(恶 化)1,000 fold for those of us who suffer a significant loss. Not only are we expected to gather with family and friends and „be of good cheer?, we are expected to be thankful, generous, and to feel like celebrating. This can be a tall order, indeed, if we are still deeply saddened, possibly depressed; if we are still working through feelings of anger at the world and a sense of injustice; if the death of our loved one caused rifts (裂痕) in family relationships or in our financial well being; if other family members are also grieving; or if we are already feeling isolated and misunderstood by others. But even for those of us who have perhaps resolved some of these feelings and issues, the holiday season may be filled with emotional pain. This is because our best and worst memories are often generated in the crucible(严酷考验)of holiday celebration. As the holidays come upon us we are both unconsciously and consciously reminded of our lost loved one. Without warning, memories of how the person did certain things, what they said, their likes and dislikes, and their unique and individual contribution to the celebration come pouring back, leaving in their wake the felt void(空虚，怅惘)of the person?s presence. While all of the above is very likely to be part of the experience of a bereaved(丧失的) person during the holiday season, it does not have to comprise the entire experience. The upcoming holidays: Thanksgiving, Chanukah(光明节), and Christmas share the common theme of celebrating the winter months by finding/creating light in the darkness. For the bereaved finding the light in the darkness can serve as a powerful metaphor for the healing process. What the light will represent will depend on the individual: for some it may be a heightened sense of peace and acceptance; for others it may be finding a balance between sadness and hope for the future; for some it may mean finding some enjoyment in one or two aspects of the season and accepting that experience as being enough; for some it may mean simply surviving the holiday season largely intact, and heaving a sigh of welcome relief with its passing. All of these types of light are fine. Just as there is no one way to experience loss there is no one way to find one?s way through the holidays. A large part of finding the light consists in making friends with and even managing the darkness. What does this mean? First it means, realizing in advance that the holidays WILL be different, that there will be feelings of sadness and loss, as well as memories which may be happy, but distressing. Even if those around you are not able to drop their expectations that you will be appropriately „cheerful?, you can change your expectations for yourself. Realistic self expectations will go a long way in freeing you from an unnecessary sense of having failed to please those around you. This means not only the expectations of the living, but also those which are so often projected on to the dead. Even if your lost loved one would have „wanted you to be happy? you do not have to be happy. Perhaps happiness will return in a year or two — all you have to do now is to acknowledge and accept the feelings that you are having. In the same vein, you can help family and friends to alter their expectations of you by releasing them from the responsibility of SEEING to it that the bereaved person has a good time. This well intentioned but inappropriate adopting of responsibility for the bereaved person?s emotional status can lead to an experience of failure if the bereaved person shows signs of sadness. This sense of failure in turn leads to the expression of impatience and anger toward the bereaved person. By letting others know what to expect and making it clear that they are not responsible for making your holidays happy you may experience greater harmony and acceptance. Remembering to use your bereavement support system if you have established one can be very helpful. Often support groups and therapy are suspended over the holiday season, the very time when they are most needed. Make plans to stay in touch with one or two support group members over the season, and know how to contact your therapist in case you are feeling overwhelmed. Making a space to actively remember the lost loved one is also important. You might want to acknowledge your memories privately in a journal, or a letter to the dead person. A grave side visit or a visit to your church or synagogue (犹太教堂) may be helpful. For families and friends it can be very useful to include a memorial activity in the holiday plans. This could be as simple as talking about the dead person or could involve honoring the person in your traditional holiday ceremonies. Finding a balance between your need for support and other?s needs for your involvement in the activities of the present will also be helpful as you navigate the holiday social calendar. It is important to remember that the holidays are difficult for many. You may find that being attentive to the thoughts and ideas of others will provide you with some relief from your own sadness, and help you to feel more connected to the present and less drawn to the past. Finally, it is often giving that helps to ease the pain of loss. There are many positive ways of giving which can also allow you to continue your healing process. And don?t forget that it is also OK to give to yourself. Treat yourself to something special — it doesn?t have to be elaborate or expensive, it just needs to feel right. As the time between the loss and the present grows, the holidays generally become easier to manage. But it is likely that you will find that creating light in the dark season will be a continued source of comfort and even as they say, joy, linking you not only to your lost loved one, but to the very heart of the holiday season. 1. The passage gives a general description of how to avoid sadness and negative emotion during holidays. 2. People who have lost their beloved ones are supposed to suffer more on Christmas. 3. For the bereaved only they themselves can serve as a powerful metaphor for the healing process as vocations approach. 4. Our best and worst memories are often generated in the crucible of holiday celebration so that we can experience a colorful life. 5. Finding light in the darkness in the article really means to find way out of grieves and depressiveness. 6. Realistic self expectations have nothing to do with emotions projected onto the dead. 7. The author has just discussed the importance of avoiding grieves in holidays but no therapy is presented in the end. 8. Your bereavement support system works ________________________________. 9. For families and friends, a grave side visit or a visit to your church can really be_____________________. 10. Giving plays the key role of __________________________. Part III Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) (25 minutes) Section A Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once. Questions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage. The 11 spiritual challenge may be to forgive. But years of talking with 12 souls has convinced me that there is one person whom many of us have particularly great difficulty forgiving. That person is oneself. You may have had the experience of making a major mistake, perhaps deeply hurting someone you love, and then 13 the event over and over again with an accompanying 14 narration. People of a religious 15 will even feel condemned to the fires of hell with themselves being judge and jury. In 16 , we sometimes view our own failings to be beyond even the forgiveness of God. To forgive oneself is not to make excuses for oneself. We want to try to learn from our mistakes, to gain a degree of self-control, to grow in our 17 for love and peace. Not forgiving ourselves makes these goals harder to reach since the event from the past remains powerful and unchanging. So how can we 18 releasing ourselves from the powerful 19 of our own mistakes? Learn how to make 20 . This involves more than a simple “I?m sorry”. It involves a willingness to listen to another person?s hurt. It involves a willingness to take immediate corrective action.

You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. Passage One Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. Abundant energy is essential to modern civilization. Energy beyond that provided by human or animal muscles is needed for operating our factories, for heating and cooling our homes, for powering most forms of transportation and for hundreds of other purposes. Presently coal and oil supply the majority of our energy needs. But coal, when burned, tends to pollute the air, and oil is becoming scarcer. Other sources, therefore, must be developed. One alternative is solar energy. It is not a recent idea. Two hundred years ago a French chemist named Lavoisier built a solar furnace that was heated to over 3000 K by the sun?s collected rays. One hundred years ago solar energy was used in Chile to change salt water into fresh water. And in Egypt, in 1931, an engine powered by the sun?s rays began pumping irrigation water. Today solar batteries have been developed that can supply enough energy to operate radios and telephones. Some can even power a car. In addition, solar batteries are important parts of communication satellites now circling the earth. Such batteries, however, are presently too expensive for ordinary use. The heating and cooling of houses by solar energy has received a great amount of attention in recent years. Thousands of solar houses have been built, especially since 1974, when the United States government passed the Solar Heating and Cooling Demonstration Act. This act provided $60 million for the designing and construction of solar-energy buildings. Most houses use devices on their roofs to collect the sun?s energy and tanks to store it in the form of heated water. There are many problems to be solved before the sun can become an important source of energy. A way must be found to build solar batteries inexpensively. Before houses can be heated and cooled by solar energy alone, new methods of storing the energy must be devised. Scientists believe that these problems can and will be solved. Solar energy may be the solution to the world?s quest for abundant, clean and cheap energy. 21. Energy provided by human or animal muscles_______. A) can heat or cool our homes. B.) can power most forms of transportation. C) can supply the majority of our energy needs. D) cannot operate factories. 22. Centuries ago people around the world_______. A) tried to use solar energy. B) built a solar furnace. C) tried to use solar energy to change salt water into fresh water. D) tried to use solar energy in agriculture. 23. Solar energy buildings built in the US __________. A) have devices on their roofs to collect the sun?s energy. B) have air conditioners operated by solar batteries. C) are protested by the government. D) are more popular than the ordinary houses. 24. It is implied in the passage that________. A) solar energy is the only one in the future. B) solar energy is widely used in our daily life. C) solar energy is not fully developed. D) we can not afford solar energy. 25. There are still some problems with solar-energy buildings because_____. A) the method of storing the energy is not good enough. B) houses owners don?t know how to operate the machine. C) solar batteries are too difficult to use. D) no one can solve the problems. Passage Two Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage. I first became aware of the unemployment problem in 1928. At that time I had just come back from Burma, where unemployment was only a word, and I had gone to Burma when I was still a boy and the post-war boom was not quite over. When I first saw unemployment men at close quarters, the thing that horrified and amazed me was to find that many of them were ashamed of being unemployed. I was very ignorant, but not so ignorant as to imagine that when the loss of foreign markets pushes two million men out of work, those two million are any more to blame than the people who draw blanks in the Calcutta Sweep. But at that time nobody cared to admit that unemployment was inevitable, because this meant admitting that it would probably continue. The middle-classes were still talking about “lazy idle loafers on the dole”(接受救济的二流子) and saying that “these men could all find work if they wanted to”, and naturally these opinions affected the working class themselves. I remember the shock of astonishment it gave me, when I first met with tramps and beggars, to find that a fair proportion, perhaps a quarter, of these beings whom I had been taught to regard as cynical parasites (寄生虫), were decent young miners and cotton workers gazing at their destiny with the same sort of dumb amazement as an animal in a trap. They simply could not understand what was happening to them. They had been brought up to work, and stare! It seemed as if they were never going to have the chance of working again. In their circumstance it was inevitable, at first, that they should be filled with a feeling of personal degradation. That was the attitude towards unemployment in those days: it was a disaster which happened to you as an individual and for which you were to blame. 26. The author did not learn of the unemployment problem until 1928 because________. A) he had spent his childhood in Burma. B) people in Burma hardly talked about unemployment. C) the English economy had only collapsed while he returned from abroad. D) England had been enjoying economic prosperity while he was in Burma. 27. Many of the unemployment felt ashamed of their condition because___________. A) they imagined they were to blame for being out of work. B) nobody wanted to admit that unemployment was inevitable. C) they had to admit that unemployment would probably continue. D) they felt the middle classes were right to say they could find work if they wanted to. 28. About a quarter of the tramps and beggars the author met were_______________. A) cynical parasites. B) once quite good at mining and making cotton. C) like animals in trap. D) young workers bewildered by what had happened to them. 29. The reason why their unemployment so confused the young miners and cotton workers is that _____________________. A) they had been brought up on the assumption that they had work to do. B) they had not previously realised how degrading it would feel to be out of work. C) they were definitely not going to be able to work again. D) they did not expect to be the objects of middle-class criticism. 30. In the passage as a whole, the author?s attitude to unemployment is __________. A) that it was a disaster for which the individuals were to blame. B) the shock that it should have so degrading an effect on decent people. C) the astonishment that the unemployment cannot understand what had happened to them. D) the amazement that the loss of overseas trade can have such severe effects on the mining and cotton industries. Part IV Cloze (15 minutes) Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

I am impressed most that my roommates often spend their evenings playing such games. Besides, more and more girls are engaged in them. As is well known, Internet games can do much harm to us if we spend too much time on such things. Firstly, it is an enormous waste of time and we will have little time left for our study. Secondly, those who play Internet games day and night will be harmed physically for lack of rest and sleep. Thirdly, many of these games are about violence and are not good for our spiritual development. The last but not the least, it will cost us much money. In my opinion, we should deal with Internet games seriously. On the one hand, we can get some pleasure from these games if we don?t indulge ourselves in them. On the other hand, we shouldn?t spend too much time, energy and money on such games because study should take the priority. In conclusion, we should try to avoid the harm of Internet games and live a more meaningful life. Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) 1. Y 2. Y 3. N 4. NG 5. Y 6. N 7.
