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.

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.(38)GKeep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.

解答 36-40BFGDE
36.B 上下文語境.本句起到承上啟下的作用,根據(jù)"Try the following steps…"試試以下措施,可知答案,B項以問句的形式引出下文.
37.F上下文語境.Calm yourself…take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure首先要冷靜,深呼吸,或者想象一些令人愉快的事情,F(xiàn)"讓憤怒逐漸消散,嘗試一個簡單的壓力管理技巧"符合語境,故選F.
38.G 上下文語境.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(dāng)長的時間.G項中的wait for people to apologize與本段標題一致.
39.D 上下文語境.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".
40.E 上下文語境.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.
點評 本文是一篇選句填空,題目涉及多道細節(jié)理解題,做題時結(jié)合原文和題目有針對性找出相關(guān)語句進行仔細分析,結(jié)合選項選出正確答案.推理判斷也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確的答案.
