Forget Twitter and Facebook, Google and the Kindle. Television is still the most influential medium around. Indeed ,for many of the poorest regions of the world, it remains the next big thing——finally becomes globally available. And that is a good thing, because the TV revolution is changing lives for the better.
Across the developing world, around 45% of families had a TV in 1995; by 2005 the number had climbed above 60%. That is some way behind the U.S. , where are more TVs than people, and where people now easily get access to the Internet. Five million more families in sub-Saharan Africa will get a TV over the next five years. In 2005 , after the fall of the Taliban（塔利班）,which had outlawed TV, 1 in 5 Afghans had one. The global total is another 150 million by 2013——pushing the numbers to well beyond two thirds of families.
Television’s most powerful effect will be on the lives of women. In India, researchers Robert Jensen and Emily Oster found that when TVs reached villages, women were more likely to go to the market without their husbands’ approval and less likely to want a boy rather than a girl. They were more likely to make decisions over child health care. TV is also a powerful medium for adult education. In the Indian state of Gujarat, Chitrageet is a popular show that plays Bollywood songs with words in Gujarati on the screen. Within six months, viewers had made a small but significant improvement in their reading skills.
Too much TV has been associated with violence, overweight and loneliness. However, TV is having a positive influence on the lives of billions worldwide. K^S*5U.C

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 16 to your physical and 17 health.
“People who always forgive others 18 less depression, anger and stress and more hopefulness,” says Frederic Luskin, Ph.D., the 19 of Forgive for Good. “So it can help 20 on the wear and tear on our organs, reduce the wearing out of the immune（免疫的） system and 21 people to feel more vital.”
So how do you start the forgiveness? Try 22 these steps:
Calm yourself. To defuse your 23 , try a simple stress-management technique. “Take a couple of breaths and think of 24 that gives you pleasure: a 25 scene in nature, someone you love,” Luskin says.
Don’t 26 an apology. “Many times the person who hurt you has no 27 of apologizing,” Luskin says. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same 28 . So if you wait for people to apologize you could be waiting a(n) 29 long time.” Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean 30 to the person who upsets you.
Take the control away from your offender. Mentally replaying（重播） your 31 gives power to the person who caused you pain. “ 32 focusing on your hurt feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness 33 you,” Luskin says.
Try to see things from the other person’s view. If you empathize（把感情移入） with that person, you may 34 that he or she was acting out of ignorance, fear—even love.
Recognize the benefits of forgiveness. Research has shown that people who always forgive others will get more energy, better 35 and better sleep.
Don’t forget to forgive yourself.“For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge,” Luskin says. But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don’t do it.”

It
was a normal Monday morning at an assembly, and the old headmaster was addressing the students on important things in life and about 21 ourselves to what is important to us.
