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. Dont 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 dont 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 persons 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 persons point of view.（1）When someone has deeply hurt you, its not easy for you to _.A . feel very angryB . let go of your angerC . keep remembering itD . let your anger appear（2）What will you do first when someone has hurt you?A . Take much breathes deeply.B . See things in a different way.C . Keep yourself calm.D . Go over your hurt（3）According to the writer, what is the right way to calm down after being hurt?A . Try to make sure why you get hurt.B . Write a letter to the person who hurt you.C . Tell yourself to accept what others have done to you.D . Think about pleasant things and forget about the hurt.（4）Dr. Luskin advises us not to wait for an apology after being hurt because _.A . we are not patient enoughB . wed feel worse accepting others apologyC . people seldom want to apologizeD . people don t mean it when they apologize（5）This passage is mainly written to explain _.A . how to keep yourself from being hurtB . how to stay mentally healthyC . how and when to stay calmD . why and how to forgive others15. （8分）阅读下面材料，从每题所给的四个选项（ABCD）中选出最佳选项。DWhat do Napoleon, Clinton and Wang Nan have in common? They are all left-handed. Today, about 15% of the number of people is left- handed. But why are people left- handed? The answer is the way the brain(大脑)works. The brain has two halves-the right half controls the left side of the body, and the left controls the right side of the body. So right handed people have a strong left brain and left handed people have a strong right brain.The two halves of the brain are about the same size. But each side controls different things. The left side controls language, math and logical(逻辑的). When you remember new words, or when you put things in order, you use your left side. The right side of the brain controls your love of art, colors and music. It is also good at recognizing(识别) faces.This does not mean that all artists are left handed and all accountants(会计)are right handed. Some right handers have a strong right brain, and some left handers have a strong left brain.（1）People who are right handed or left handed are mostly decided by _. A . their parentsB . their mindsC . the way the brain worksD . the way the head works（2）Each side of the brain _.
