Jeanine Barone provides the important facts about what to do in Portugal’s second city in a day.

09.00: Head to the seaside district of Foz for breakfast at Al Forno Café. Inside a fashionable interior (内部) with a colorful painting of a watermelon hanging on the wall, you can join the locals sipping coffee or fresh papaya juice.

10.00: Hardcore shoppers and nature lovers alike will delight in the options in the Foz neighbourhood, where the Atlantic meets the Douro River. It’s an easy seaside stroll towards the 17th-century Castelo do Queijo along the Foz geological walk.

12.00: Either the 502 bus from the park or the 203 from the Castelo takes you near the Serralves Contemporary Art Museum that shows works by Portuguese and international artists. When you’ve had your creative fill, head to the museum’s restaurant for a casual lunch of cod with cornbread and beef in red wine.

14.30: The 203 bus brings you close to Rua Miguel Bombarda, a street that’s perfect for lazy gallery hopping. It’s lined with more than a dozen contemporary art establishments, such as Galeria Quadrado Azul that change their exhibits every six weeks.

16.00: If great tiredness hasn’t set in, climb the 200 steps to the top of the Clerigos Tower for views of the old town. For one more activity, visit one of the world’s most stunning bookstores, Livraria Lello.

17.00: Take a taxi to Taylor’s, one of Porto’s oldest Port producers in Vila Nova de Gaia. You’ll learn the difference between red, white and tawny ports.

18.30: At the Estiva Wharf in the Ribeira district, board a flat-bottomed boat for a Douro River cruise (巡航) with Via D’Ouro.

21.00: Dine at Clube 3C. This restaurant in Clerigos transforms into a club near midnight. This former cultural space has an industrial feel where your best bet among the Mediterranean-Portuguese offerings is the risotto with lamb. Save room for the lemon meringue pie.

23.30: After checking out the nightlife along Galeria de Paris, you can always return to Clube 3C for its DJ scene. Your first stop should be Casa do Livro, a former bookstore. Among the floor-to-ceiling shelves of books you can sip a fine wine from the Alentejo or Douro region while sitting under a mirror and listening to live jazz.

As humans, we sometimes find it hard to forgive those who hurt us. We are either too proud or stubborn (顽固的) and would rather ignore the situation and hold a grudge (怨恨). Unknown to us, this just causes much pain in our hearts or even creates health problems.

I believe we are spiritual beings experiencing human life to learn lessons, to grow and become more aware of our connection to our soul and God. To forgive those who hurt you can only bring peace in your heart, letting go of the past, and letting the one who asked for forgiveness experience their own spiritual growth.

I grew up with an alcoholic step-dad. There were a lot of moments when he would beat us boys and my mom. Many times we ran away from home out of fear and slept over at hospitals, police stations, or even at the next-door neighbor’ house. It all started when I was about 2 years old, right through to my early twenties. I’m the eldest among four boys. I thank God that though each of us was scarred, we still kept our heads straight. None of us abuse alcohol.

At some point in my late twenties I forgave my step-dad in my heart, not directly. None of my brothers forgave him. They hate him, yet still talk to him. I feel the most sorry for my mom because after all these years, they are still together.

My step-dad has calmed down a lot. However, there were moments he started again.

About a month ago, I came to visit my parents. They were having financial difficulties and I knew he was going to start again. Normally my dad is home in time for supper after closing his business. He came home late at 11 pm that night, drunk as a skunk. I was the only one still awake and didn’t go to bed for some reason, feeling I had to wait and for once in my life, be protective towards my mom.

Talking to me, he was swearing at my mom and my brothers, telling me  he would beat everybody up. He had a soft spot for me. Though I was the one who suffered the most beatings, and still carried a lot of fear and emotional baggage, he didn’t say one bad word towards me that night. I just listened and watched him expressing his anger.

Then it happened. A moment I thought would never happen. He started crying, admitting his faults, and asking for my forgiveness. I analyzed a lot and knew a long time ago that he probably had tough childhood too and didn’t know better. I was relieved that I managed not only to calm him down, but to get him to open his heart and ask for forgiveness. I did forgive him a long time ago; just made it more magical to do it face to face.

It does not change the past, what we went through, however the future has not happened yet; we only have today to make the best of our lives.

46. The first paragraph mainly tells us ________.

A. forgiveness is hard to carry out

B. humans are too proud to ignore the situation

四、任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分，满分10分)

注意：每空格填1个单词。

If you live in a city where everyone rushes, you don’t have to be like that. Your environment doesn’t control your life and you can do many things to be different—not to hurry like that. Here are some of such things to consider and perhaps adopt, if they work for your life.

Many of us have busy social life or commitments(义务). We have classes, groups and hobbies. But if we add so many into our life, we are actually making the quality of our life worse. Reduce commitments in a slow manner— pick 4-5 most important ones, and realize that the rest just don’t fit right now. Politely make other people know that you don’t have time to stick to those commitments.

Give yourself enough time to get ready and get there. Because you don’t allot (分配) enough time in your schedule for preparing and for traveling, you are constantly rushing to appointments or other places you have to be. If you think it only takes you 10 minutes to get ready for work or a date, perhaps give yourself 30-45 minutes, thus you don’t have to shave in a rush or put on makeup in the car.

Practise being comfortable with sitting and do nothing. When you have to wait, try just sitting there, looking around and enjoying your surroundings. Try standing in line and just watching and listening to people around you. It takes practice, but after a while, you will do it with a smile.

Practise mindfulness (留心). Simply learn to live in the present and don’t think too much about the future or the past. When you eat, fully appreciate your food. When you are with someone, be with him or her fully. When you are walking, appreciate your surroundings, no matter where you are.

Life is better when it is unhurried. Try out these things!
