【解析】

本文是一篇说明文，当别人伤害我们的时候，我们很难原谅对方。原谅别人对我们的健康有很大的好处，文章给出了让我们谅解他人的具体建议。

1.考查形容词。句意：但是原谅是可能的，并且谅解他人对我们的身体和精神健康很有好处。形容词beneficial有益的，构成短语be beneficial to对…有益；在句中和情态动词can构成谓语部分，所以要要beneficial。

2.考查时态。句意：到目前为止，研究发现谅解他人的人精力更充沛、胃口更好、睡眠更好。副词recently意为“近来”，通常和现在完成时连用，所以要填has shown。

3.考查比较级。句意：原谅他人的人表现出更少的愤怒更多的希望。句中比较级less和more构成并列结构，修饰名词anger。把善于原谅他人的人和不原谅别人的人进行的比较。所以要填less。

4.考查动词短语。句意：所以它能够帮助减少免疫系统的疲劳并让人们感觉更加精力充沛。动词短语allow sb to do sth允许某人做某事，其中不定式to do sth做宾语补足语对people补充说明。所以要填to feel。

5.考查定语从句。句意：所以当别人伤害你的时候，首先冷静下来，吸几口气，想一些能够给你快乐的事情。句中定语从句的先行词something，关系代词that指代先行词，引导定语从句并在句中做主语。所以要填that。

6.考查名词。句意：不要等待道歉。在英语里动词的后面通常接名词做宾语构成动宾短语，所以本句要使用apologize的名词做wait for的宾语，同时也有an修饰，所以要填名词apology。

7.考查定冠词。介词短语in the same way用同样的方法，名词way前面有形容词same修饰，说明表示特指，所以应该使用定冠词the表示特指强调。所以要填the。

8.考查动名词短语。句意：接下来请记住原谅并不意味着要接受让你不舒服的人的行为，相反，要寻找你周围的爱、美和善良。动词短语mean doing sth意味着做某事，动名词doing做mean的宾语。所以本句要填动名词accepting。

9.考查副词。句意：接下来请记住原谅并不意味着要接受让你不舒服的人的行为，相反，要寻找你周围的爱、美和善良。用副词instead表示上下文的转折，告诉人们要寻找其它一些让自己快乐的事物。所以要填Instead。

10.考查反身代词。这三句建议我们要从其他人的角度看待问题，也许别人伤害是你是无意的行为。句中反思动词yourself做介词to的宾语，表示强调，我们试着从他人的角度给自己写一封信。所以要填yourself。
