Forgiveness

Forgiveness is a quality that is difficult to have. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research.

【1】 Try the following steps：

Calm yourself. 【2】 You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.

Don’t wait for an apology. Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way 【3】 Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.

Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者). Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who caused you pain. Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you.

【4】 If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love. You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender’s point of view.

Don’t forget to forgive yourself. 【5】 But it can rob(夺取) you of your self-confidence if you don’t do it.

A. How should you start to forgive?

B. Why should you forgive?

C. Try to see things from your offender’s angle.

D. Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.

试题分析：本文主要告诉我们原谅的重要性，同时给出了几个原谅自己、他人的具体建议。

【1】A 根据前段最后一句People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research.可知善于原谅他人的人更幸福。横线后一句Try the following steps尝试以下步骤。可知本句是上下文的过渡句，A项：How should you start to forgive?你如何开始原谅他人？符合上下文串联过渡。

【2】G 本段第一句Calm yourself.这是原谅他人的第一步：让自己平静下来。再看横线后一句：You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure你可以深呼吸，思考一些让你快乐的事情。这些是让你平静的方法。故G项：To make your anger die away, try a simple stress management technique.符合上下文串联。

【3】F 根据横线前两句Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way可知很多人不愿意向你道歉，他们就想伤害你或他们看待事物的方法和你不一样。在这种情况下，你很难得到对方的道歉。故F项符合上下文串联。

【4】C 根据横线后一句If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love.如果你能理解对方，你也许会意识到它可能是处于无意识、恐惧甚至是处于爱而伤害到你。也就是说要从对方的角度出发思考问题。故C正确。

【5】E 根据本段第一句Don’t forget to forgive yourself.不要忘记原谅自己。这是本段的主题句，本段主要叙述的是原谅自己，E项For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.与该话题有关。
