Leeds, England--A Leeds University psychology(心理学) professor is teaching a course to help dozens of Britons forgive their enemies.

“The hatred(痛恨) we hold within us is a cancer,” Professor Ken Hart said, adding that holding in anger can lead to problems such as high blood pressure and heart disease.

      More than 70 people have become members in Hart’s first 20-week workshop in London ---a course he says is the first of its kind in the world.

     These are people who are sick and tired of living with the memory. “They realize their bitterness(痛楚) is a poison they think they can pour out, but they end up drinking it themselves, ” said Canadian-born Hart.

The students meet in groups of eight to ten for a two-hour workshop with a visit to an adviser every fortnight.

The course, ending in July, is expected to get rid of the cancer of hate in these people. “People have lots of negative(否定) attitudes(态度) towards forgiveness,” he said. “People confuse(使混乱) forgiveness with forgetting. Forgiveness means changing from a negative attitude to a positive one.”

Hart and his team have created instructions to provide the training needed.

“The main idea is to give you guidelines on how to look at various angers and how they affect you, and how to change your attitude toward the person you are angry with,” said Norman Claring-bull, a senior expert on the forgiveness project.

Hart said he believes forgiveness is a skill that can be taught, as these people “want to get free from the past”.

The author wrote this passage in order to ______.

A. persuade us to go to Hart’s workshop

B. tell us the news about Hart’s workshop

C. tell us how to run a workshop like Hart’s

D. help us to look at different angers

From the passage we can find that ________.

A. high blood pressure and heart disease are caused by hatred

B. high blood pressure can only be cured by psychology professors

C. without hatred, people have less trouble connected with blood and heart

D people who suffer from blood pressure and heart disease must have many enemies

In Hart’s first 20-week workshop, people there can ________.

A. meet their enemies                 B. change their minds

C. enjoy the professor’s speech          D. learn how to quarrel with others

If you are a member in Hart’s workshop, you’ll have to _________.

A. pay much money to Hart            B. go to the workshop every night

C. attend a gathering twice a month      D. pour out everything stored in your mind

What Will Future Be like?

我们的未来会怎么样?

    提到人类未来的生活将会怎样，我想一千个人对此会有一千种不同的看法，但不外乎就是两种态度——乐观的或是悲观的。地球的未来究竟会怎样?科学家们的猜测也许是这样的……

  　Some experts are pessimistic when they think about the future. They say that，by then the population of the world will have doubled. We will have run out of many essential resources like oil and coal．We may have even run out of water to drink．Some experts believe that there will be no land left，because of the overcrowding．

    Others are far more optimistic．They say that life will be better than it is today．We may be living in better buildings and leading better lives than we are today．Life will certainly have become more mechanized．Machines will be doing many jobs that people do today．People will no longer be able to learn only one job in their life time．They will have to learn several．Perhaps a station will be built on the moon．People will be able to visit the moon as travelers. They may even spend their holidays in space，traveling by spaceship．

    Many people never think about the future．“I don't care．I'll be dead．”they say．But it is our duty to care because the world of that time will be the one of our children's children and their children after them.
