But forgiveness is possible and it can be surprisingly 36 to your physical and 37 health.People who forgive 38 less depression, anger and stress and more hopefulness, says Frederic Luskin, Ph.D., 39 of Forgive for Good.

Many times the person who hurt you has no 47 of apologizing, Luskin says. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just dont see things the same 48 . So if you wait for people to apologize ,you could be waiting a(n) 49 long time. Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean 50 to the person who upsets you.Take the control away from your offender. Mentally replaying your 51 gives power to the person who caused you pain. 52 of focusing on your hurt feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness 53 you, Luskin says.Try to see things from the other persons perspective (立场；视角). If you empathize (有同感) with that person, you may 54 that he or she was acting out of ignorance, fear even love.Recognize the benefits of forgiveness. Research has shown that people who forgive report more energy, better 55 and better sleep patterns. Dont forget to forgive yourself. For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge, Luskin says.But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you dont do it. 36. A. beneficial B. harmful C. helpless D. suitable37.

And he loves it.Arthur Bonnet works with the Palos Verdes blue butterfly, once thought to have died out. Today the butterfly is coming back thanks to him. But years ago if youd told him this was what hed be doing someday, he would have laughed, Youre crazy. As a boy, he used to be a little tough guy on the streets. At age thirteen, he was caught by police stealing. At eighteen, he landed in prison for shooting a man.I knew it had hurt my mom, Bonner said after he got out of prison. So I told myself I would not put my mom through that pain again.One day he met Professor Mattoni, who was working to rebuild the habitat for an endangered butterfly called E1 Segundo blue.I saw the sign Butterfly Habitat and asked, How can you have a habitat when the butterflies can just fly away? Bonner recalls. Dr. Mattoni laughed and handed me a magnifying glass (放大镜) , Look at the leaves. I could see all these caterpillars (蝴蝶的幼虫) on the plant. Dr Mattoni explained, Without the plant, there are no butterflies. Weeks later, Bonner received a call from Dr. Mattoni, who told him there was a butterfly that needed help. That was how he met the Palos Verdes blue. Since then hes been working for four years to help bring the butterfly back. He grows astragals, the only plant the butterfly eats. He collects butterflies and brings them into a lab to lay eggs. Then he puts new butterflies into the habitat.The butterflys population, once almost zero, is now up to 900. For their work, Bonner and Dr. Mattoni received lots of awards. But for Bonnet, he earned something more: he turned his life around.For six years now Bonnet has kept his promise to stay out of prison. While hes bringing back the Palos Verdes blue, the butterfly has helped bring him back, too.64.
