根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余 forgiveness 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. _36_ try the following steps: calm yourself. _37_ you can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love. dont 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 dont see things the same way. _38_ 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 you hurt gives power to the person who causes you pain. instead of focusing on your mounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. _39_ 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 offenders point of view. dont forget to forgive yourself. _40_ but it can rob you of your self-confidence if you dont do it. a. why should you forgive?b. how should you start to forgive?c. recognize the benefits of forgiveness.d. try to see things from you offenders angle.e. for some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.f. to make your anger die away, try a simple stress-management technique.g. if you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time. 第三节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分, 满分30分）阅读下面的短文, 掌握其大意, 然后从3655各题所给的四个选项(a、b、c和d)中选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 mr. cronin has a clock shop in the center of the town. he tries his best to 41 it well. he often
