When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be very difficult to let go of your anger．But forgiveness is possible – and it can be surprisingly helpful to your physical and mental health．Indeed, research has shown that people who forgive have more energy, better appetite (胃口) and better sleep．“People who forgive show less anger and more hopefulness, ” says Dr．Frederic Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good．“So it can help save on the wear and tear(消耗) on our body and make people feel more energetic．”
So when someone has hurt you, calm down first．Take plenty of breathe deeply and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love．Don’t wait for an apology(道歉)．“Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing, ” says Dr．Luskin．“They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way．So if you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting a very long time．”Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean accepting the action of the person who makes you angry．Mentally going over your hurt gives power to the person who brought you pain．Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you．Finally, try to see things from the other person’s perspective(视角)．You may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance (无知), fear, even love．To achieve the perspective, you may write a letter to yourself from that person’s point of view．

七、任务型阅读(每题1分, 共10分)

You can have a strong will and really want to achieve your goal（目标） but life has its way of knocking us off course．Things come up, and distractions（分散注意力）happen．

Success needs attention．You’ve had the experience of setting a goal and being really excited about achieving it only to have a few weeks or months to go by and realize the goal has dropped down on your list from the first place．

It is easy for people to get side tracked, This doesn’t just happen all at once．You get off track just little by little until one day, you realize you’re completely off track．Keeping your mind on your goal can be a long-lasting fight because everything around you is trying to get your attention．

So what can you do to keep your attention? There are several things you can try．You can write down you goal and read it every day．You can form a picture off achieving your goal daily in your mind．

One of my favorite methods of keeping my attention on a goal is to keep asking myself, “Is what I’m doing right now bringing me closer to my goal or further away? ” Once you answer that question, you’ll know what to do．You can make sure that your daily to-do list includes doing something that will take you closer to your goal．

If you look back at the goals you’ve tried to achieve and realized you haven’t achieved any of your major goals, it may be time to just pay attention to a single goal．This way, all of your energy can be put towards realizing that one goal which will increase your chances of getting it．It’s a lot better to just achieve one goal than to work on a dozen and achieve none of them．

Remember that you’re human and because of this, you’ll make some mistakes．Instead of beating yourself up, just know that certain things can take your attention away from your goals Once you know these things, you can actively make the amount of time less when they take your attention off your goals．

Distractions are like gravity, They cause us all to fall at times．The important thing is that we go up again every time we fall．Get your attention back on your goal when you start to realize it’s going Somewhere else．
