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．   1.   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．   2.   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．

__3.  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．4.   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．   5.

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

【解析】

试题分析：本文是一篇说明文。文章说明了原谅的4个因素。

1.E考查上下文的语境理解及逻辑推理。根据后文是It's a difficult process可知，这里的difficult和E中的no easy是同义表达。故选E.

2.A考查上下文的语境理解及逻辑推理。根据前文Express it to the person who made you feel that way可知，这里以a friend or an empty chair作为自己的发泄对象，发泄自己的愤怒。

3.C考查上下文的语境理解及逻辑推理。根据后文中的几个连续的问号可知是理解为什么的问题。故选C。

4.D考查上下文的语境理解及逻辑推理。根据后文中的That might mean an apology, reassurance from the person in question, distance or stronger boundaries．可知D正确。

5.F考查上下文的语境理解及逻辑推理。根据前文By letting go, you give up your role as the victim and become equals again．可知，通过放松，你自己放弃牺牲品的角色，使自己和对方成为平等的地位。故选F。

考点：考查说明文的阅读及逻辑推理。
