Forgiveness

(2013·高考遼寧卷)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 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 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.

1.B

2.F

3.G

4.D

5.E

【解析】　本文為一篇說明文。原諒冒犯你的人對你的身心健康大有裨益，但是該如何去原諒他們呢？可通過以下幾個步驟：使自己冷靜下來；不要等待他人道歉；擺脫冒犯者對你的控制；從冒犯者的角度看問題以及原諒自己。

1.

2.2】解析：選F。F項中的make your anger die away與calm yourself意思一致。

3.3】解析：選G。本段指出，不要等待他人道歉。因為許多時候傷害你的人就沒打算道歉，他們也許故意想要傷害你或者和你看問題的方式不同，如果等待他人道歉，就會等相當長的時間。G項中的wait for people to apologize與本段標題一致。

4.4】解析：選D。根據(jù)If you understand your offender以及from your offender’s point of view可看出，本段標題為D項，即“從冒犯者的角度看問題”。

5.5】解析：選E。本段標題為“不要忘記原諒你自己”與E項中的forgiving themselves一致，并且E項與后面的句子之間正好用but連接，有轉(zhuǎn)折的語氣。

閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)所讀內(nèi)容在文后第1至5小題的空格里填上適當?shù)膯卧~或短語，并將答案轉(zhuǎn)寫在答題卡上。注意：每空不超過3個單詞。
     We've all been hurt by another person at one time or another. This pain causes problems. It not only
causes us to be unhappy, but can ruin relationships, distract (使分心) us from work and family and other
important things, make us unwilling to open up new things.
     We need to learn to let go. We need to be able to forgive, so we can move on and be happy.
Forgiveness does not mean you erase（忘卻；抹去）the past, or forget what has happened. All it means is that you are letting go of the anger and pain, and moving on to a better place.
     It's not easy, but you can learn to do it.
     Think about the advantages and disadvantages. Think of all the problems this pain causes you, and
realize you need to change. Then think of the benefits of forgiveness—how it will make you happier, free
you from the past and the pain, and improve your relationships and life in general.
     Try to put yourself in that person's situation. Try to understand why the person did what he did. What
could he have felt as he did it, and what did he feel afterward? How does he feel now? You aren't saying
what he did is right, but are trying to understand instead.    
     Understand your responsibility. Try to figure out how you could have been partly responsible for what
happened. This isn't to say you're taking all the blame, or taking responsibility away from the other person,
but to realize that we are not victims (受害者) but participants in life.    
     Allow peace to enter your life. As you focus on the present, try focusing on your breathing. Imagine each breath going out is the pain and the past, and imagine each breath coming in is peace, entering you and filling you up.
