Forgiveness

To forgive is a virtue, but no one has ever said it is easy. 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 causes 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 you of your self-confidence if you don’t do it.

A. Why should you forgive?

B. How should you start to forgive?

C. Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.

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

E. For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.

F. To make your anger die away, try a simple stress-management technique.

G. If you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time.

【4】D

【5】E

【解析】

试题分析：作者在本文中讲述了原谅的重要性，谅解不仅仅是谅解他人也是谅解自己。谅解他人对我们自身有很多好处。同时作者还提出了几个建议。

【1】B 根据第一段最后一句People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research.可知愿意谅解别人的人更幸福，压力更小，对未来更有希望。那么我们究竟应该如何开始原谅别人呢？B项内容符合上下文串联。

【2】F 根据下一句You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure可知这是一个让自己镇定的小技巧。而本段的主题句是Calm down。故F项符合上下文串联。

【3】G 根据本段前2句Don’t wait for an apology. Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize.可知伤害的人是不会来向你道歉的。也就是你不要等别人来道歉。那几乎是不可能的事情。故G项内容和本段中心思想一致。

【4】D 根据下局If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love.如果你理解冒犯你的人，也许你就会意识到他/她可能是出于无意才会伤害你。也就是说作者建议我们换位思考。故D项符合上下文。

【5】E 根据本段第一句Don’t forget to forgive yourself.不要忘记原谅自己。有的时候我们自己也会犯错，所以原谅自己也很重要。但是某种程度上原谅自己更加困难。E项符合上下文串联。
