(答案→)B
解析： 本文为一篇说明文。原谅冒犯你的人对你的身心健康大有裨益，但是该如何去原谅他们呢？可通过以下几个步骤：使自己冷静下来；不要等待他人道歉；摆脱冒犯者对你的控制；从冒犯者的角度看问题以及原谅自己。
【小题1】解析：选B。本句起到承上启下的作用，根据“Try the following steps...”可知答案，B项以问句的形式引出下文。
【小题2】解析：选F。F项中的make your anger die away与calm yourself意思一致。
【小题3】解析：选G。本段指出，不要等待他人道歉。因为许多时候伤害你的人就没打算道歉，他们也许故意想要伤害你或者和你看问题的方式不同，如果等待他人道歉，就会等相当长的时间。G项中的wait for people to apologize与本段标题一致。
【小题4】解析：选D。根据If you understand your offender以及from your offender’s point of view可看出，本段标题为D项，即“从冒犯者的角度看问题”。
【小题5】解析：选E。本段标题为“不要忘记原谅你自己”与E项中的forgiving themselves一致，并且E项与后面的句子之间正好用but连接，有转折的语气。
