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.（= 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（消极的）attitudes towards forgiveness,” he said. “People confuse （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, an d how to change your attitudes toward 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”.47.

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 each 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 righ t you’re probably getting enough sleep. The important thing is not to2 worry how much other people get –their needs may be different. Exercise doesn’t seem to increase 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.
