Fran9oise Malby-Anthony, a city girl, a Parisian through and through, could tell the quickest way to the Eiffel

Tower but knew nothing about animals. Yet somewhere deep inside, she always felt she would end up in a foreign

country.

It was her husband Lawrence Anthony， a South African， who brought out the wanderlust （旅游癖）in

her． They met in London in 1987 ， and a year later they moved to South Africa ，where they were drawn by

nature and eventually bought Thula Thula-a game reserve of river and 1,500 hectares of rolling hills. They were soon

working to save an abundance of wild animals, especially elephants and rhinos, from the poachers and hunters who

wandered for fun and profit. They also employed some locals, and taught them about office work, dealing with guests

and cooking French dishes.

Last March, however, Lawrence died of a sudden heart attack. And there Françoise was, alone, burying her

husband, and didn't know where to begin.

She soon faced her first baptism（洗礼）by fire. A few days later，she received a call. Thabo，a three-year-old

male rhino， had taken bullet（子弹）.It was the poachers. How could the poachers break into the fence in broad

daylight? At that point, a rumor suggested it was an inside job. Maybe someone was trying to frighten her into

leaving?

Lawrence was gone. A rhino in trouble and security men she couldn't rely on. Since booking after booking had

been canceled due to Lawrence's passing away, Françoise finally had an empty bank account. But how could she leave

the dream that Lawrence and she had fought so hard for?

Françoise slowly found her feet. Eventually Thabo recovered from the trauma. She set up meetings with the staff

to go over reserve and animal issues and to agree on priorities. She even launched her own rhino fund. The desperate

days have helped redefine the purpose of life without Lawrence, and she understands that the mission of protecting

Thula Thula's wildlife has become hers, and hers alone.

“Regrets,I've had a few. But then again, too few to mention,” Frank Sinatra chanted in his 1969 hit“My

Way”.The song's idea is attractive: that anyone can just declare what's done is done and move on. Some take the

declaration a step further and claim they have no regrets at all.Whether a boast or an actual attitude, “no regrets”

suggests that life can and should be lived without looking through the rear-view mirror.

Easier said than done, though. In 2020,author Daniel H.Pink launched the World Regret Survey, the largest ever

survey on the topic. With his research team, Pink asked more than 15,000 people in 105 countries, “How often do you

look back on your life and wish you had done things differently?”82% said regret is at least an occasional part of their

life; roughly 21% said they feel regret “all the time.” Only 1% said they never feel regret.

If you are of the “no regrets” type, you might think that all this regret is a recipe for unhappiness. But that isn't

the case. True, being overwhelmed by regret is indeed bad for you. But going to the other extreme may be even worse.

To rid yourself of regrets doesn't free you from shame or sorrow; it leads you to make the same mistakes again and

again. To truly get over our guilt requires that we put regret in its proper place.

As uncomfortable as it is， regret is an amazing cognitive（认知的）achievement. If today your relationship

with your partner has worsened, your regret might mentally take you back to last year. You would remember your

being mean and sensitive, and then imagine yourself showing more patience, being kind instead of hurtful at key

moments. Then you would fast-forward to today and see how your relationship could be progressing instead of

languishing.

But regret doesn't have to be left unmanaged. The trick is to acknowledge it and use it for learning and

improvement. You can be honest with yourself about what went wrong and use that knowledge to enjoy better

relationships in the future.

28.What should we do if we have had a bitter quarrel with a close friend according to Frank Sinatra?

A.Attract more people to your argument.

B.Send him/her a letter of apology.

C.Boast about being more reasonable.

D. Forget about it and just let it go.

29.Which of the following statements about “regret" may the writer agree with?

A.We can do nothing about regret.

B.Unhappiness results from regret.

C.Ignoring regrets is missing the opportunity to improve.

D.Ridding yourself of regrets helps free you from sorrow.

30.What does the underlined word “languishing” in paragraph 4 most probably mean?

A.Improving.

C.Showing up.

B.Maintaining.

D.Breaking up.
