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.

______41_______ Try the following steps:

Calm yourself. ______42_______ 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. ______43_______ 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.

_____44_______ 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. _____45______ 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. 五．请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后图表中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。（20分）注意：每空不超过1个单词。 The sun makes flowers and plants grow, keep up us warm and it even gives us Vitamin D, so we can better absorb calcium into our body for strong bones. It does all these things by sending down light, which includes invisible ultraviolet rays. Some ultraviolet rays pass through air and clouds and gets into the skin. When your skin’s been exposed to too many of these rays, you get what’s known as sunburn. So if you’re going to be out in the sun, especially on a hot day, you need to stay safe. Some people get sunburned faster than others because of their coloring. If you have blond or red hair, light-colored skin, and light-colored eyes, you’ll tend to get sunburned more quickly than someone with dark eyes and skin. That is because you have less melanin(黑色素). Melanin is a chemical in the skin that protects the skin from sun damage by reflecting and absorbing ultraviolet rays. People with darker skin have more melanin, but even if you have dark hair, dark eyes, or darker-toned skin, you can still get sunburned. Sunburn increases your chance of getting wrinkled when you get older. And worst of all, they can lead to skin cancer when you get older. Because getting wrinkles and getting sick don’t happen right away, they can seem like things that could never happen to you. But you still need to be careful. You don’t need to hide from the sun completely but measures should be taken to protect yourself. It’s important to use sunscreen with an SPF rating of 15 or higher 15 to 20 minutes before you go out in the sun and take frequent breaks by going indoors or moving into the shade between 10:00 in the morning and 4:00 in the afternoon, when the sun’s rays are strongest. Drinking water is an important part of staying healthy, especially when it is hot outside. When you are sweating you lose water that your body needs to work properly. And if you are playing a sport or running around in the sun, you lose even more water, because you sweat that much more. So don’t wait until you are thirsty---drinking before you feel thirsty helps keep the water level in your body
