LEEDS, England—A Leeds University psychology professor is teaching a course to help dozens of Britons forgive their enemies.
"The hate we hold within us is a cancer, " Professor Ken Hart said, adding that holding in anger can lead to problems such as high blood pressure and heart disease.
More than 70 people have become members in Hart's first 20-week workshop in London—a course he says is the first of its kind in the world.
These are people who are sick and tired of living with a memory. They realize their bitterness is a poison they think they can pour out, but they end up drinking it themselves, said Canadian- born Hart.
The students meet in groups of eight to ten for a two-hour workshop with an adviser every fortnight.
The course, ending in July, is expected to get rid of the cancer of hate in these people. "People have lots of negative attitudes towards forgiveness," he said, "People confuse forgiveness with forgetting. Forgiveness means changing from a negative attitude to a positive one."
Hart and his team have created instructions to provide the training needed.
"The main idea is to give you guidelines on how to look at various kinds of angers and how they affect you, and how to change your attitudes towards the person you are angry with," said Norman Claringbull, a senior expert on the forgiveness project.
Hart said he believes forgiveness is a skill that can be taught, as these people "want to get free of the past".

After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the day. The rest that you get while sleeping makes it possible for your body to prepare itself for the next day.
There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your body relaxes (放松) little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts (變換) back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.
Though your mind slows down, you will dream from time to time. Scientists who study sleep point out that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.
If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend (建議) breathing very slowly and very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep.
小題1:The text suggests that not getting enough sleep might make you _____.
A．suffer from poor healthB．feel tired and nervous
C．dream more oftenD．breathe quickly
小題2:During REM, _____.
A．you move restlessly

An exercise method (Gyrotonics) designed to stretch muscles and improve strength and balance is becoming popular in the United States. Here's more about Gyrotonics and the man who invented this special form of exercise.
Gyrotonics is a kind of exercise that combines the movements of dancing and swimming with the mental and physical practice called yoga. It helps lengthen muscles, improve balance, and exercise the joints, the parts of the body where bones are joined.
A Hungarian dancer named Juliu Horvath developed this special form of exercise. After he was injured in dancing, Mr. Horvath studied yoga intensely. In the 1980s, he developed a new exercise method as a special kind of yoga to strengthen dancers.
According to Mr. Horvath, his method was based on the octopus(章魚)，monkey and cat. He says these animals have no restrictions. They can move in any direction the Gyrotonic movements to help the human body move more freely.
A special machine made of wood and weights(砝碼) helps guide the body through the Gyrotonics exercises. You sit or lie on a flat board. You put your legs or hands through special cloth handles attached to a line with weights. With the tension created by the weights, you must try to move through the exercises.
Seven kinds of backbone movements form the base of Gyrotonics. For example, you can stretch your back to the left and right or forward and backward. While moving your back, you can also work on arm or leg motions. These movements must be done in a smooth way. Often the motions are circular(圓形的)。
When Juliu Horvath first developed Gyrotonics, he was the only teacher. Since then, he has taught almost 70 trainers. Now, there are more then 800 official schools in the world where you can learn Gyrotonics.
小題1:This passage mainly focuses on _____.
A．A successful life of HorvathB．A popular kind of exercise
C．Some advice on health careD．Some uses of a special machine
小題2:According to the passage, what made it possible for Horvath to develop Gyrotonics?
A．His dancing-related injury.B．His failure in practicing yoga.
C．His good skills of dancingD．His wish to be a Gyrotonics trainer.
小題3:What do you think inspired Horvath in developing Gyrotonics?
A．His experience in dancing.B．His use of a special machine.
C． The movements of some animals.D．The ideas from many trainers.
小題4:What can we learn from the passage?
A．Many Americans have improved their health through Gyrotonics.
B．In a way, Gyrotonics is an exercise that comes from yoga.
C．You only have to move your backbone when doing the exercise.
D．Gyrotonics courses can be found in most countries worldwide.

American society is not nap (午睡)-friendly. In fact, says David Dinges, a sleep specialist at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, “There’s even a prohibition against admitting we need sleep”. Nobody wants to be caught napping or found asleep at work. To quote a proverb: “Some sleep five hours, nature requires seven, laziness nine and wickedness eleven.”
Wrong. The way not to fall asleep at work is to take naps when you need them. “We have to totally change our attitude toward napping,” says Dr. William Dement of Stanford University, the godfather of sleep research.
Last year a national commission led by Dement identified an “American sleep debt” which one member said was as important as the national debt. The commission was concerned about the dangers of sleepiness: people causing industrial accidents or falling asleep while driving. This may be why we have a new sleep policy in the White House. According to recent reports, President Clinton is trying to take a ha1f-hour snooze (瞌睡) every afternoon.
About 60 percent of American adults nap when given the opportunity. We seem to have “a mid afternoon quiet phase,” also called “a secondary sleep gate.” Sleeping 15 minutes to two hours in the early afternoon can reduce stress and make us refreshed. Clearly, we were born to nap.
We Superstars of Snooze don't nap to replace lost shut-eye or to prepare for a night shift.Rather, we “snack” on sleep, whenever, wherever and at whatever time we feel like it. I myself have napped in buses, cars, planes and on boats; on floors and beds; and in libraries, offices and museums.
小題1:It is commonly accepted in American society that too much sleep is        .
A．unreasonableB．criminalC．harmfulD．costly
小題2:The research done by the Dement Commission shows that Americans ________.
A．don't like to take naps
B．a(chǎn)re terribly worried about their national debt
C．sleep less than is good for them
D．have caused many industrial and traffic accidents
小題3:The purpose of this article is to        .
A．warn us of the wickedness of napping
B．explain the danger of sleepiness
C．discuss the side effects of napping
D．convince the reader of the necessity of napping
小題4:The underlined phrase “American sleep debt” in Para. 3 is the result of        .
A．the traditional misconception the Americans have about sleep
B．the new sleep policy of the Clinton Administration
C．the rapid development of American industry
D．the Americans' worry about the danger of sleepiness
小題5:The second sentence of the last paragraph tells us that it is          .
A．preferable to have a sound sleep before a night shift
B．good practice to eat something light before we go to bed
C．essential to make up for cost sleep
D．natural to take a nap whenever we feel the need for it

It takes more than just practice to become an Olympian. Gold medal performances require some serious nutrition. Have you ever wondered what these successful athletes eat to stay in peak shape?
Keri Glassman, a registered dietitian and founder of Nutritious Life Meals, appeared on “Good Morning America” today to give you a glimpse into the diets of some top athletes. Some of their meals could surprise you.
Crazy Calorie Count
Glassman said Olympians eat a lot of food- quantities that for ordinary people would constitute pigging out. One secret of swimmer Michael Phelps’ astonishing performance in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing was consuming as many as 12,00 calories in one day.
Athletes can eat like this and not gain any weight because their workouts are intense. According to Glassman, Phelps’ workouts can burn 4,000 to 6,000 calories in a day, and those calories must be added in order to train the following day.
Snacking Secrets
Some athletes eat strange foods that improve their performance. Yohan Blake, the Jamaica sprinter and 100-meter world champion, has stolen champion sprinter Usain Bolt’s thunder on the track during the Olympic trials. Asked about how he gets his energy, Blake answered that he eats 16 bananas per day ,Glassman said.
Jonathan Horton, the lead gymnast on the Us team, has a blood sugar problem. His solution is honey. When he starts to feel shaky at the gym, he takes honey to boost his energy, Classman said.
Foods for Recovery
What are the best foods to help the body recover after harsh competition?
For Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte, the recovery meal is grilled chicken breasts with Alfredo sauce, whole-grain spaghetti and a salad with lemon juice and olive oil. Lochte, who recently cut out junk food, candy and soda, has undertaken a strength-training regimen(養(yǎng)生法)that involves flipping tractor tires, and tossing beer kegs, Glassman said.
小題1:What’s the best title of this passage?
A．Good Diet Makes a True Olympian.
B．Olympians Have Olympic-size Appetites.
C．The Diet of Some Top Olympic Athletes.
D．Olympians’ Strange Eating Habits.
小題2:What does the underlined sentence probably mean?
A．Ordinary people eat few pigs compared with Olympians.
B．Olympians eat a lot more food than ordinary people.
C．Olympians tend to eat a lot of high-quality food.
D．Olympians eat a large amount of food, just like pigs.
小題3:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Ryan Lochte quit eating junk food , candy and soda for his better recovery.
B．Yohan Blake finally beat Usain Bolt in the 100-meter track in the Olympics.
C．Michael Phelps’ astonishing performance was due to his eating lots of food.
D．Jonathan Horton has a blood sugar problem because of taking too much honey.
小題4:The passage is most likely to be found in     .
A．a(chǎn) technical reportB．a(chǎn) fashion magazine

The rising costs of health care have become a problem for many countries in the world. To deal with this problem, it is recommended that a big part of the government's health budget be used for health education and disease prevention instead of treatment. Actually, many kinds of diseases are preventable in many ways and preventing a disease is usually much cheaper than treating it. For example, people could avoid catching a cold if they dressed warmly when the weather starts getting cold. But many people get sick because they fail to do so, and have to spend money seeing a doctor
Daily habits like eating more healthy food would have kept millions of families from becoming bankrupt if the patients had taken measures for early prevention. For instance, keeping a balanced diet, such as not consuming too much animal fat and insuring a steady intake of vegetables and fruits, seems to be quite important.
One very effective and costless way of prevention is regular exercise, which is necessary for a healthy mind and body. Regular exercise, such as running, walking, and playing sports is a good way to make people feel better or reduce stress
In addition, health education plays a key role in improving people's health. By giving people more information about health, countries could help people understand the importance of disease prevention and ways to achieve it. For example, knowing one's family medical history is an effective way to help keep healthy. Information about health problems among close relatives will make them aware of what they should do to prevent certain diseases through lifestyle changes, which will work before it is too late   
However, stressing disease prevention does not mean medical treatment is unimportant. After all, prevention and treatment are just two different means toward the same effect. In conclusion, we could save money on health care and treat patients more successfully if our country spends more money on health prevention and education
小題1:What’s the best title of the passage?
A．Prevention or Education?
B．Prevention or Treatment?
C．Health or Illness?
D．Exercise or Illness?
小題2:Which of the following can replace the underlined word “bankrupt’’?
A．Unable to be cured
B．Unable to pay one’s debts

小題3:We learn from the passage that        
A．dressing warmly can prevent diseases
B．a(chǎn) balanced diet is cheaper than regular exercise
C．the more health education, the better
D．the government’s health budget should be increased
