Forgiveness

Forgiveness is a quality that is difficult to possess. 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. How should you start to forgive?

B. Why should you forgive?

C. Try to see things from your offender’s angle.

D. Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.

E. For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.

F. If you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time.

G. To make your anger die away, try a simple stress­management technique.

试题分析:文章对宽恕及其如何宽恕别人以及宽恕别人的益处给予了说明。宽恕是美德，但是没有人说很容易做到宽恕别人。当你被深深伤害的时候，想要不怀恨在心是很难做到的。但是宽恕是可能的——而且这会给你的身心健康带来出乎意料的益处。

1.A考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据Calm yourself. You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.你首先要冷静下来， _____________摒住呼吸并且想一些能够让你快乐的事情：大自然的美丽景色、或者你喜爱的人等等，都可以，A选项How should you start to forgive?怎样做才会开始原谅（别人）？，符合，故选A。

2.G考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure“摒住呼吸并且想一些能够让你快乐的事情”，G选项To make your anger die away, try a simple stress­management technique.尝试一种简单的减压技巧来缓解你愤怒的情绪。，符合，故选G。

3.F考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据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.不要等别人来道歉。许多时候，伤害你的人没有想过要道歉。他们可能是故意的，也可能只是和你看待事物的方式不一样，F选项If you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time.如果你等着别人来道歉，你可能会等令人嫌恶的相当长的时间，符合，故选F。

4.C考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love. 如果你站在别人的立场上，你也许会意识到他或她是因为无知、害怕、甚至是爱才那样做的，C选项Try to see things from your offender’s angle.试着从别人的角度来看问题，符合，故选C。

高考七选五解题方法

1.通读全文，了解文章大意。这是一个泛读的过程，目的是了解文章大意，为以后的理解做铺垫。

2.分析句型，了解语法构成

3.当我们了解了文章大意后，要明确每一个空是填一个整句子还是半个句子。这一点十分重要，它能够帮助我们迅速确定某些空的选项范围，比如，有一个空的结尾处没有标点符号，后文紧跟着一个句子的后半部分，很显然这时我们需要填的是半个句子，这时便可以在七个选项中找到是半个句子的选项，从而缩小选择范围。比如39题，根据下文的如果你站在别人的立场上，你也许会意识到他或她是因为无知、害怕、甚至是爱才那样做的，可知你要从别人的角度看问题，故选C。

4.明确关联关系。任何句子都是要么和上文有联系，要么和下文有联系，要么和上下文都有联系。比如40小题，根据前文别忘了原谅自己，以及后文如果你不宽恕自己，你就会失去信心，可知缺失的是承上启下的一句话。故选E对有些人来说，宽恕自己才是最大的挑战。

5.带入通读，复查

做完题目切忌直接离开，这是我们很有必要将自己修正好的文章通读一遍，将其看做一片行文通顺语意连贯的文章来读，这是如果感到有含义不连贯的地方，很有可能是我们填错了空，就要复查了，注意：七选五的特点在于，错一道，往往还会错另外的一道或几道，我们叫做"连错"，所以当你发现自己有一处填的有问题时，一定要同时检查其他空。
