LEEDS, England-A Leeds University psychology（⼼理学）professor is teaching a cour to help dozens of people forgive（stop being angry with）their enemies.
“The hatred (憎恨) 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 dia.
More than 70 people have become members in Hart’s first 20-week workshop in London—a cour he says is the first of its kind in the world.
The are people who are sick and tired of living with a memory. They realize their bitterness is a poi
son they think they can pour out, but they end up drinking it themlves, said Canadian-born Hart.
The students meet in groups of eight to ten for a two-hour workshop with an advir every fortnight.（= two weeks）
The cour, ending in July, is expected to get rid of the cancer of hate in the people. “People have lots of negative（消极的）attitudes towards forgiveness,” he said. “People confu（把……混同）forgiveness with
forgetting. Forgiveness means changing from a negative attitude to a positive one（积极的态度）”.
Hart and his team have made 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 toward the person you are angry with,” said Norman Claringbull, a nior expert on the forgiveness project, Hart said he believes forgiveness is a skill that can be taught, as the people “want to get free of the past”.

No one know why we sleep, but it’s certain that we need to. People who are prevented from sleeping begin to suffer obvious effect after (明显效果) a few days –they think less clearly, and they fall asleep during the working hours, some may have hallucination (幻觉).
There were no rules about sleep. Generally speaking, grown-ups sleep about 7 and a half hours eac
h night and probably more than 60 percent get between 7 or 8 hours. But perhaps eight percent are quite happy with 5 hours or less, and four percent or so find that they want ten hours or more. If you fell all right you’re probably getting enough sleep. The important thing is not to2 worry how much other people get –their needs may be different. Exerci doesn’t em to increa the need for sleep –office workers, for example sleep for about as long as people doing physically active work.
Children sleep more than grown-ups – perhaps 14 to 18 hours soon after birth, going down to grown-up levels by early teen-age. Sleep patterns also tend to (易于) be different in the elderly, who may sleep less at night than they did when younger, find sleep getting more broken, and often make it a rule to sleep during the daytime.
