As a psychologist for more than twenty years I can tell you that I have never had an adult looking back at her childhood and plaining that her parents were too understanding. And similarly, I have met many divorced people who still love each other but yet they never really understood each other.　　The painful reality is love is just not enough. I’ll admit that there are people who I love and who I still need to better understand. I hope I’ll continue my work to understand them. The Last willingness to understand is very important. It is not always easy, but healthy love is strengthened by the willingness to understand. Love without understanding will wilt like flowers without water.　　Our egos are what seem to get in the way of understanding those who we love and care about. Often it is our need to be right that makes what others think and feel so wrong for us. I have certainly been quite guilty of this in some of my relationships.　　As I have written repeatedly in my books, empathy, is truly the emotional glue that holds all close relationships together. Empathy allows us to slow down and try to walk in the shoes of those we love. The deeper our empathy, the deeperand healthier our love. Not all relationships are meant to be. Yet all relationships that are meant to flourish in a healthy way, must stress understanding just as much, if not more, than love.　　61.

We can take a long breath, put up our feet, sip from a cup of good tea and relax. The frenzy, starting from Black Friday right after Thanksgiving until Christmas Eve, of gift shopping, buying, wrapping, giving, receiving, opening, returning...is exhaustive and timeconsuming, but it takes place every year.　　There is considerable difference between the cultures in China and western countries when it es to gift giving, In China, it is not polite to open a gift in front of the gift giver, and gift is only looked at after the guest has left. Here in America, gift givers always wrap their gifts, large or small, priceless or valueless, carefully and decorate them with colorful ribbons and little pretty paper flowers。2014年河南專升本公共英語真題及解析 they may e across, they’ll help one another to overe them.　　A.
