Leeds, England—A Leeds University professor is teaching a course to help dozens of people to 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 (血壓)and heart disease.

   More than 70 people have become members in Hart’s first 20-week workshop in London. The 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 realized their hate 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 two weeks.

   The course, ending in July, is expected to get rid of the cancer of hate in these people. “People have lots of negative attitudes toward forgiveness,” he said, “forgiveness is not forgetting. Forgiveness means changing from a negative attitude to a positive one.”

   Hart explained that the main idea of their training is to give us guidelines on how to look at various kinds of angers and how they affect us, and how to change our attitudes towards the person you are angry with,” said Norman Claringbul, a senior expert on the project.

   Hart said he believes forgiveness is a skill that can be taught, as these people want to “get free of the past”.

1．What does Hart mean by comparing “hate” to “a cancer”?

     A．Hate may lead to a cancer.

     B．Hate is a feeling that is hard to get over.

     C．Hate will grow with time passing.

     D．Hate will do harm to those who hold it inside

2．From the passage we know that __________.

     A．high blood pressure and heart disease are caused by hate

     B．high blood pressure can only be cured by the professors

     C．without hate, people will have less chance to develop high blood pressure and heart disease

     D．people who suffer from high blood pressure and heart disease must have many enemies

3．According to Professaor Hart, if you are angry with somebody, it is better __________.

     A．to try your best to defeat him or her

     B．never to meet him or her again

     C．to think of the matter in a different way

LEEDS, England—A Leeds University psychology professor is researching a course to help dozens of Britons forgive their enemies.
