Ryan Howes, a clinical psychologist from California, says "Forgiveness is a sensitive act that can feel like it opens us up to more pain. But we need to have a way to process and let go of the effects of injury, or we risk serious physical and emotional consequences."

People who forgive tend to have better relationships, feel happier and more optimistic, and overall, enjoy better psychological well-being.   71   It's a difficult process.

There's no single guidebook for forgiveness, though several experts sell their own methods.

Howes suggests focusing on four elements:

Express the emotion. Let yourself feel hurt and angry. Express it to the person who made you feel that way.   72   Write a letter; you don't need to send it. Shout your emotions at the top of your lungs while you're in the car, alone, with the windows down.

__73  We want explanations ?even if we don't agree with them. "Was it a misunderstanding? Were you mad at me? Some sort of cognitive framework (认知框架) is necessary, even if you don't like the reason."

Rebuild safety.74   That might mean an apology, reassurance from the person in question, distance or stronger boundaries.

Let go. Perhaps it's the hardest part: making a conscious decision not to hold a grudge (怨恨).

If you're in a relationship, this means not bringing up past wrongs. By letting go, you give up

your role as the victim and become equals again.   75

       A.Otherwise, talk to a friend or even an empty chair.

       B.Control your feelings.

       C.Understand why.

       D.Before you forgive, you need to feel reasonably sure that the act won't reoccur.

E.Still, no one ever said forgiveness was easy.

F.It's a promise to yourself to stop feeling hurt and to fully move on.

G.You may feel helpless, or like life is meaningless.

Most summer camps for teens center around sports, or music and arts, or just for having fun. But some girls in the Washington suburb of Arlington County, Virginia, went to camp to get a taste of what its like to be a firefighter.

This is not a typical summer camp. But Michelle Pawlaw is glad she signed up for it. "Getting (o experience the fires hands-on is really cool and something that most people don't get to do," she said.

One spring, when I was 10, during one of my father's layoffs, I could tell my mother was dispirited. I decided to cheer her up by buying her a special Mother's Day gift.

One day after school I rode my bike to the Agins, which, I learned years later, was known for its high-end fashions and style. I introduced myself to Sylvia Agins, telling her I was looking for a Mather's Day present.

       "Do you think she'd like a purse?" she asked. I told her.I thought she might.

She took out an Italian handbag made of leather. She asked me what I thought, and I told her that my mom would like it.

       "How much money do you have?" she asked.

       "Twelve bucks," I said.

 “You’re in luck,” she told me. "It's only $11. You have a dollar left over for the card." She gift-wrapped  the purse and thanked me for my business, and I rode off home with the package under my arm.

When my mother opened the gift the next Sunday morning, she asked in an accusing tone, “Where did you get this?"

       "I bought it at the Agins. It cost me $11." I said.

       My mother was shocked into silence.

It wasn't until many years later, when I learned that the purse was worth several hundred dollars, that I appreciated just how wonderful Sylvia Agins had been to me. I always felt bad that I never had a chance to properly thank her.

"You know, my son, what really amazes me to this day," my mother said. "Letting you have the purse for just a few dollars was unbelievable enough. But the fact that she let you leave the store with a dollar for the card was a touch of kindness that I'll never forget. "

A victim of climate change

       A polar bear's dead body found on the Arctic island of

Svalbard, the northernmost part of Norway, has shocked

experts who say climate change may be to blame for the

The starved polar bear in Norway was said to be in good

health in April when the Norwegian Polar Institute examined

and labeled it. However, the animal was reduced to skin and

bones by the time a group of explorers came across its body in July.

The bear is thought to have been heading north in a desperate search for sea ice that would allow it to hunt for seals.

"From his lying position in death the bear appears to simply have starved and died where he dropped," polar bear expert Dr. Ian Stirling, a professor at the University of Alberta said, "He had external suggestion of any remaining fat, having been reduced to little more than skin and bone."

Stirling believes the bear starved to death as a result of a lack of sea ice which the animals use as a platform for hunting seals. That may also explain why the 16-year-old male bear was found about 155 miles north of where it was seen in April.

Arctic sea ice reached a record low in 2012, according to a report released this week by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration that pointed to continued signs of climate change.

The International Union for Conservation of Nature currently classifies polar bears as vulnerable on its Red List of Threatened Species.

       C. Doubtful.                                          D. Concerned.
