Think about the different ways that people use the wind. You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources（来源）, as well as one of the oldest. Evidence shows that windmills（风车）began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC. They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.

For many centuries, people used windmills to grind（磨碎）wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground. When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in remote areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the 1940s, when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were rarely used.

During the 1970s, people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs. Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.

To forgive may be great, but no one every said it was easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible—and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health.       

So how do you start the healing? Try following these steps:

Calm yourself.      You just take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love.

Don??t wait for an apology. “Many times the person who hurt you has no intention of apologizing,      So if you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time.

Take the control away from your offender（冒犯者）.     Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you.

If you understand that person, you may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance, fear – even love. To gain the same feeling, you may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender’ s point of view.

Don’t forget to forgive yourself. For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge. But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don’t do it.
