When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be very difficult to let go of your anger.     1     forgiveness is possible-and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. So far, research has shown that people who forgive can have more energy and     2    (good) sleep.

So when someone has hurt you, cool down first. Take a couple of     3    (breath) and think of something that     4    (give) you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love. Don’t wait for     5     apology. “Many times the person who hurts you may never think of     6    (apologize),” says Dr. Frederic Luskin,     7     wrote the book Forgive for Good. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. So if you wait for people     8    (say) sorry, you could be waiting a very long time.” Next keep in mind that forgiveness does not     9    (necessary) mean accepting the action of the person who upsets you. Instead, learn to look for the love,     10    (beautiful) and kindness around you. Finally, try to see things from the other person’s position. You may realize that he or she was acting out of carelessness.

Yesterday I went shopping in the town. I was using my crutches(拐杖)on     1     were two bags. I really struggled through the shopping mall. I was     2    (tire)! After a while, I found a space and had     3     rest there.

Then I noticed Michael. He was my former student and he was a man     4     his 40s. It's been years since I     5    (teach) Michael, but he stopped to chat with me. When he noticed my crutches, he said, "Let me carry the bags for you." I thanked him but     6    (polite) declined his offer. Then Michael pointed to a coffee shop nearby, "I will be here Rose Marie, if you change your mind." It was lovely and kind of     7    (he) to give me an opportunity to change my mind.

In fact, Michael is tattooed(纹身) on his arms. People think that guys like this are frightening, but there     8    (be) nothing threatening about Michael. Michael's     9    (appear) with tattoos is just his idea of sell-expression.

    10    (chat) with him helps me recognize the tenderness in the youth regardless of how they look.
