　　Leeds, England--A Leeds University psychology(心理学) professor is teaching a course to help dozens of Britons forgive their enemies.

　　“The hate we hold within us is a cancer,”Professor Ken Hart said, adding that holding in anger can lead to problems such as high blood pressure and heart disease.

　　More than 70 people have become members in Hart's first 20-week workshop in London--a course he says is the first of its kind in the world.

　　These are people who are sick and tired of living with a memory. 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.

　　The course, ending in July, is expected to get rid of the cancer of hate in these people.“People have lots of negative attitudes towards forgiveness,”he said.“People confuse(混同) forgiveness with forgetting. Forgiveness means changing from a negative attitude to a positive one.”

　　Hart and his team have created 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, and how to change your attitudes towards 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 he taught, as these people“want to get free of the past”.

　　Women turn to online shopping

　　Women have jumped ahead of men for the first time in using the Internet to do their holiday shopping，according to a study published last week in the US．

　　For years men have been more likely to shop on the Internet than women，but during the 2004 holiday season 58 percent of those making online purchases were women．

　　“It shows how mainstream the Internet is becoming”，said Lee Rainie，a director of the Pew Internet and American Life Project group，which carried out the study．

　　Rainie said it was only a matter of time before women shoppers caught up with men．This is because women traditionally make decisions about spending．

　　Users were more likely to shop online to save time．Internet users between the ages of 18 and 29 were responsible for some of the most dramatic(显著的)increases in the online gift-buying population this time around．

　　However，three-quarters of the US Internet users did not buy holiday gifts online in 2004．They worried about credit card security，or just compared online prices with off-line prices，then dashed off to the shops to get the best deals．

　　“But even if shoppers don't buy online，websites are becoming promotion tools for stores，”said Dan Hess，vice president of Comscore Networks Inc．Hess said that actually most stores' websites can make shoppers fully believe the security of their credit card numbers．And most are able to ensure that gifts arrive on time．

　　“It's all about making the shopping experience more efficient，more reliable and more comfortable，” Hess said．

(1)

Which of the following statements is true?
[　　]

B．	Most of the Internet users between the ages of 18 and 29 are women．
