When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely 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 report more energy, better appetite (胃口) and better sleep patterns. "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 on .our system and allow people to feel more energetic."
    

So when someone has hurt you, calm yourself first. Take a couple of breaths and think of some­thing that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love. Don' t wait for an apology. "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 upset you. 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 gain perspec­tive, you may want to write a letter to yourself from that person' s point of view.

Margaret, married with two small children, has been working for the last seven years as a night cleaner, cleaning offices in a big building.
    

She trained as a nurse, but had to give it up when her elder child became seriously ill. “I would have like to go back to it, but the shifts(工作班次) are all wrong for me, as I have to be home to get the children up and off to school.”
    

So she works as a cleaner instead, from9 a.m. till6 a.m. five nights a week for just £ 90, before tax and insurance. “It’s better than it was last year, but I still think that people who work ‘unsocial hours’ should get a bit extra.”
    

The hours she’s chosen to work meant that she sees plenty of the children, but very little of her husband. However, she doesn’t think that puts any pressure on their relationship.
    

Her work isn’t physically very hard, but it’s not exactly pleasant, either. “I do get angry with people who leave their offices like a place for raising pigs. If they realized people like me have to do it, perhaps they’d be a bit more careful.”
    

The fact that she’s working all night doesn’t worry Margaret at all. Unlike some dark buildings at night, the building where she works is fully lit, and the women work in groups of three. “Since I’ve got to be here, I try to enjoy myself – and I usually do, because of the other girls. We all have a good laugh, so the time never drags.”
    

Another challenge Margaret has to face is the reaction of other people when she tells them what she does for a living. “They think you’re a cleaner because you don’t know how to read and write,” said Margaret. “I used to think what my parents would say if they knew what I’d been doing, but I don’t think that way any more. I don’t dislike the work though I can’t say I’m mad about it.”
    

43. Margaret quit her job as a nurse because ____________.
    

A. she wanted to earn more money to support her family
    

B. she had suffered a lot of mental pressure
    

C. she needed the right time to look after her children
    

D. she felt tired of taking care of patients
    

44. Margaret gets angry with people who work in the office because ____________.
    

A. they never clean their offices                  B. they look down upon cleaners
    

C. they never do their work carefully              D. they always make a mess in their offices
    

45. When at work, Margaret feels ____________.
    

A. light – hearted because of her fellow workers      B. happy because the building is fully lit
    

C. tired because of the heavy workload             D. bored because time passed slowly
    

46. The underlined part in the last paragraph implies that Margaret’s parents would ____________.
    

A. help care for her children                B. regret what they had said
    

C. show sympathy for her                  D. feel disappointed in her
