Without reconciliation (和解), we cannot deepen our understanding and only cause more suffering. Beginning Anew is a(n) 1 of reconciliation. It involves three steps —— sharing appreciation, expressing 2 , and expressing hurt and difficulties. In the first step, we share appreciation. We acknowledge the 3 qualities of the other person. The second step——expressing regret, is to 4 with the other person our regrets for the things we have done or said that might have caused him or her 5 . This requires humility (谦逊), and the 6 to let go of our own pride. In the third step, we express our own hurt with mindful and loving 7 without blaming or criticizing. We speak in such a way that the other person can listen and 8 our words. If we blame the other person, his heart will 9 and he will not be able to hear us. We ask the other person to help us to understand why he has spoken and acted as he has, causing us so much pain. Perhaps, later, he can share his feelings so that we can understand him more deeply. If a strong 10 arises in us while we are expressing our suffering, we should simply 11 and come back to our breathing until the emotion becomes 12 . The other person can 13 us by following his breathing until we are ready to continue. We can enjoy practicing Beginning Anew with our partner, our family, or our friends 14 .

They have an amazing four-part philosophy. First, ants never quit. They’ll climb over, they’ll climb under, and they’ll climb around. They keep looking for another way. What a neat (了不起的) philosophy it is to never quit 17 (look) for a way to get 18 you are supposed to go! Second, ants think about winter and summer. That’s 19 important attitude. You can’t be so naïve(幼稚的)as to think summer will last forever. People who have a little experience are clear about this. So ants are gathering their winter food in the middle of summer. It’s important to be realistic. You have got to think about rocks as you enjoy the sand and sun. Think ahead. The third part is 20 ants think about summer all winter. During the winter, they remind 21 , “This won’t last long; we’ll soon be out of here.” And 22 the first warm day, the ants are out. If it 23 (turn) cold again, they will dive back down. But they come out again if it is warm. They can’t wait 24 (get) out. Last, how much will an ant gather during the summer to prepare for the winter? All that it 25 (possible) can. What a great philosophy to have —— the ant philosophy: never give up, look ahead, stay positive and do all you can.
A Roy wasn't the only one to receive his call-up（入伍）papers．Stephen Napier's call-up came at the beginning of February and he was pleased to find that he would be going into the Royal Air Force (RAF)． His father was not so pleased and made his feelings known as he and Stephen were on their daily walk. It was the first step in his plans for Stephen to take over the estate（地产）when the time came, and although Stephen was well aware of this, he could think of no reason not to accompany him. Thought you'd forgotten that nonsense. Still, I dare say I could pull a few strings to get you to the Army... No, Father! I have told you I want to learn to fly. What chance would I have to do that in the Army? I'd be better off in the Navy——at least they've got the Fleet Air Arm. But I have been put in the RAF and that's where I want to be, so let's leave it at that. His face went red. Sent to his father's school and then to Cambridge, much to his satisfaction, he had never had to defend his own desires and his father was a hard man to oppose. The father glared at Stephen, No, I won't leave it at that. I want to know what other ridiculous ideas are in your head. For a start, what's all this about America? America? Yes. All those books I saw in your room the other day. Brochures about emigration（移民）． The big, silvered head lowered, like that of a bull about to charge．Don't trouble to deny it. I won't, Father. Some men at Cambridge have been talking about it. They want people like us here, mathematicians and scientists, for all kinds of research——the sort of research I could do．It would be a worthwhile life for me. The father responded exactly as his son had known he would．You've got a worthwhile life here！You've got an estate to run！ No, Father. You've got an estate to run. I never asked for it. Why not ask Baden to do this stuff? He perhaps can make a&nbs
