How to Forgive, Forget and Let Go O Forgiving someone does not mean releasing them from an earlier guilt. What if the person who wronged you is not living? What if the person is someone who made you extremely embarrassed during school 20 or 30 years ago? Letting go of emotional pain does not mean that nothing happened; it means that you no longer want to be controlled by it.

    Recognize that forgiveness is not denial. Whatever caused the pain was a real incident. Denying that it happened means it is too painful to work through the emotions. There is no timeline on forgiveness. Some steps take longer to get through, and it is acceptable to set them aside for a period of time. Part of forgiveness is understanding whether or not someone takes responsibility for what happened, and may even show regret.

    Understand that not everyone who forgives reconciles with the person who caused the pain. There are relationships that are harmful and even physically dangerous. While it is possible to forgive the past and move beyond it，it may also mean that the person who was involved can no longer play an active role in your life. If a person or situation is not safe，it may be best not to reconcile there relationship now. Work on forgiveness at d time when you are emotionally healthy and physically safe.

    Make a conscious decision to forgive someone. Even if they never apologize for what happened, determine within yourself that it is fine to proceed without this apology. Apologies should not be asking for forgiveness. Apologies should be offered as an effort of true regret. They should be admitting that taking personal responsibility for the situation is important. Even without that apology, make up your mind to forgive, forget, and eventually let go.

Natural Resources

    Throughout history, people have often selected where they want to live based on the natural resources that are available in the area. 26 Some of these resources include water, food sources such as fruits and vegetables, and animals that can be caught or hunted.

    A region’s natural resources determine the way of life of its people. 27 |On the other hand，poor soil will either send people looking for better places, or attract people with other purposes for the land, such as setting up businesses or factories.

    28 People who wish to make a living as fishermen can do so by the ocean, but cannot do so in the desert. Desert people have many traditional and unique foods, which cannot be found in the forest. Each area attracts people based on their interests and purposes.

    Areas that have rich water resources will naturally have more people, traditionally, villages，towns and cities built near water have been the most successful. People there are able to use the water resources to meet their daily needs. 29 Places that are hard to reach，such as high mountains or dry deserts, will have fewer people living in them.

30 For too long, people have destroyed natural resources, using up those resources that cannot be easily replaced. On the earth, we are lucky to have many resources that are renewable, such as sun, wind, water, and trees. As more and more focus is placed on the use of renewable resources, it will become easier to protect our planet from further harm.

A．It  is  easy to find new resources in nature.

B.Renewable resources are those that can be replaced easily.

C.While you may not think of oceans as natural resources, they are.

D.for example, regions with rich soil can support fanning societies.

E.They can also use the water to help them move goods to other areas.

F.Natural resources are useful to people, and they come from the earth.
