Question

【题目】 Forgiveness (原谅，宽恕) means different things to different people. Generally, however, it includes a decision to let go of anger and thoughts of revenge (复仇). The act that hurt or displeased you might always be with you, but forgiveness can reduce its control on you and free you from the control of the person who harmed you. Forgiveness can even lead to feelings of understanding for the one who hurt you. How do you start to forgive? Try the following steps.

Calm yourself. To remove your anger, try a simple stress-management way. "Take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love, " Frederic says.

Don't wait for an apology. "Many times the person who hurt you has no plan to apologize, " Frederic says. "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 an awfully long time. " Keep in mind that forgiveness does not mean balancing with the person who upset you.

Keep off the unpleasant. Mentally replaying your hurt gives power to the person who caused your pain. "Don't pay attention to your wounded feelings, learn to look for love, beauty and kindness around you," Frederic says.

Realize forgiveness is helpful. Research has shown that people who forgive have more energy, better appetite and better sleep pattern.

Don't forget to forgive yourself. "For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge, " Frederic says. "But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don't do it. "

【解析】

生活中总是会有一些时候你感觉受到了伤害，遇到一些让你不高兴的事情，这时你应该学会的是宽恕，让自己从伤害你的人或行为中解脱出来。如何开始宽恕别人呢？这篇短文中给出了一些建议。

【1】

根据短文第一段“Generally, however, it includes a decision to let go of anger and thoughts of revenge (复仇).”可知，宽恕包括决定放弃愤怒和复仇的想法。由此可知，复仇指“去伤害别人”，因此这里应用hurt或者harm，意为“伤害”。空前of是介词，此空应用动名词形式。故答案为hurting/harming。

【2】

根据短文第一段“Forgiveness can even lead to feelings of understanding for the one who hurt you.”可知，这里指“那些伤害了你的人”，people“人们”符合语境；或用代词those指代“那些人”。故答案为those/people。

【3】

根据文章结构可知，短文第一段引出了文章所要谈论的话题后，从第二段开始提建议，告诉我们如何宽恕别人。suggestion或advice都意为“建议”，符合语境。advice是不可数名词，没有复数形式；suggestion是可数名词，应用复数形式。故答案为Advice/Suggestions。

【4】

根据短文第二段“Take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure”可知，这个建议是让我们深呼吸，想一些让我们感到高兴的事情。原文pleasure是名词形式。在题目中使用了句型make sb.+形容词作宾补，因此这里应填形容词pleased“感到高兴的”。故答案为pleased。

【5】

根据第三段开头“Don't wait for an apology.”可知，这个建议是“不要等待道歉”。结合原文意思以及空后的动名词waiting，这里应用stop，意为“停止”，常用动名词作宾语。这个题目是每一个建议的标题，根据表格的上下行可知，都用了ing形式。故答案为Stopping。

【6】

根据短文第三段“Keep in mind that forgiveness does not mean balancing with the person who upset you.”可知，这个空应填的是Keep in mind的同义词，应该是remember，意为“记住，记得”。故答案为Remember。

【7】

根据短文第四段“Don't pay attention to your wounded feelings, learn to look for love, beauty and kindness around you”可知，不要关注你受伤的感情，学会去寻找你周围的爱、美和善良。题干中空后nice and beautiful是形容词，该空是look for的宾语，用不定代词something符合文意。故答案为something。

【8】

根据第五段的开头“Realize forgiveness is helpful.”可知，宽恕是有帮助的，原文使用了形容词helpful，“有帮助的”。题干中使用了短语do some help，这里填的是名词形式。故答案为help。

【9】

根据短文第五段“Research has shown that people who forgive have more energy, better appetite and better sleep pattern.”可知，研究表明懂得宽恕的人精力更充沛，胃口更好，睡眠也更好。空前的more可以是形容词，该空可以填名词energy；另外get是系动词，这里也可以填形容词energetic，与more构成比较级形式。故答案为energy/energetic。

【10】

根据短文第六段“But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don't do it.”可知，如果不原谅自己，就会失去自信。原文是if引导条件状语从句，从句中表达否定的意思。结合题干中空后的forgiving是动名词形式，这里应用without，意为“没有”，是一个否定意思的介词，符合语境。故答案为without。
