题目内容
When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible—and it can be surprisingly helpful to your physical and mental health. Indeed, research has shown that people who forgive report more energy, better appetite(胃口) and better sleep patterns. “People who forgive show less anger and more hopeful,” says Dr. Frederic Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good. “So it can help save on the wear and tear on our system and allow people to feel more energetic.”
So when someone has hurt you, calm yourself first. Take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love. Don’t wait for an apology. “Many times the person who hurt you may never be thinking of apologizing,” says Dr. Luskin. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. So if you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting a very long time.” Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean accepting the action of the person who upset you. Mentally going over your hurt gives power to the person who brought you pain. Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. Finally, try to see things from the other person’s perspective(视角). You may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance(无知),fear—even love. To gain perspective, you may want to write a letter to yourself from that person’s point of view.

解析:
【小题1】本题考查考生对全文整体的把握能力。纵观全文,可知作者详尽地阐释了宽恕他人的原因及其办法。
【小题2】本题考查考生对文中细节的理解程度。第二段揭示考生。 “Take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pressure...”,由此可知,作者认为这样做才是使自己平静的有效途径。
【小题3】本题考查考生根据上下文对文中语句的理解程度。第二段中作者提到“They may have wanted to hurt you or they don’t see things the same way.”由此可见,蓄意想伤害你的人是不会轻易道歉的,所以永远不要坐等他人的道歉,要主动压制自己的怒火。
