Cloze 1
Many of us hold on to little resentment(怨恨)that may come from an argument，a misunderstanding or some other painful events.Stubbornly，we wait for someone else to reach out to us— 1 this is the only way we can forgive or 2 a friendship or family relationship.An acquaintance of mine，whose health isn't very good，recently told me that she hadn't spoken to her son in almost three years.“Why not？”I asked.She said that she and her son had had a(n) 3 about his wife and that she wouldn't 4 to him again unless he called first.When I suggested that she be the one to reach out，she 5 at the beginning and said，“I can't do that.He's the one who should apologize.”She was truly 6 to die before reaching out to her only son first.After a little gentle 7 ，however，she did decide to be the first one to reach out.To her amazement，her son was grateful for her willingness to call and 8 an apology of his own.
As is usually the case，when someone takes the chance and reaches out，everyone wins.Whenever we hold on to our anger，we turn “small stuff”into really “big stuff”in our minds.We start to believe that our 9 are more important than our happiness.However，if you want to be a more peaceful person，you must understand that being right is almost never more important than 10 yourself to be happy.The way to be happy is to let go and reach out.Let other people be 11 .This doesn't mean that you're wrong.Everything will be fine.You'll experience the peace of letting go，as well as the joy of letting others be right.You'll also notice that，as you reach out and let others be “right”，they will become 12 defensive and more loving toward you.

Prof Dennis Brown once gave his class a special homework to “go to someone you love and tell them”you love them.It has to be someone you have 1 said those words to before or at least haven't shared those words with for a long time.Now that doesn't sound like a very tough assignment， 2 you realize that most of the students were over 35 and were taught that expressing emotions is not “macho”．
In the next class，one of the men raised his hand to 3 his homework.He began by saying，“Dennis，I was quite angry at first.Who were you to tell me to do something that 4 ？ But when driving home I knew exactly the answer.”
“Five years ago，my father and I had a furious disagreement.Since then，we 5 seeing each other unless we had to at Christmas or other family gatherings.So by the time I got home I had 6 myself I was going to tell my father I loved him.”
“The next afternoon，I was at my parents' house ringing the doorbell，praying that Dad would answer the door.I was afraid if Mom answered that I would 7 and tell her instead.But as luck would have it，Dad did answer the door.I didn't 8 any time—I took one step in the door and said，‘Dad，I just came over to tell you that I love you.’”
“It was as if a transformation came over my dad.Before his face 9 ，the wrinkles seemed to disappear and he began to cry.He reached out and hugged me and said，‘I love you too，son，but I've never been able to say it.’ It was such a 10 moment I hadn't felt that great in a long time.”
“But that's not even my 11 .Two days after that visit，my dad had a sudden heart attack and ended up in the hospital， 12 .”
“So my message to all of you in this is: Take the time to do what you need to do and do it now！”
