解析
本题主要考查词汇的固定搭配、上下文语义理解等知识点。解题时需要根据句子的整体意思、常见的短语搭配以及上下文的逻辑关系来选择合适的词汇。
- “be capable of”是固定短语，意为“有能力做某事”，所以此处应填“of”。
- 根据上下文，这里表达“有些人只是需要更努力地去做到原谅”，“just”有“仅仅，只是”的意思，符合语境，故填“just”。
- “a few”表示“几个，一些”，用来修饰可数名词复数，这里指有几种培养原谅能力的方法，所以填“a few”。
- “gain control over”是固定搭配，意思是“控制……”，因此这里填“over”。
- 前文提到写信然后丢掉，结合语境可知这样做会让人感觉“更好”，所以填“better”。
- “intended”表示“预期的，打算的”，“intended target”即“预期的目标”，符合文意，填“intended”。
- “on the contrary”是固定短语，意为“相反”，用于引出与前文相反的观点，所以填“On”。
- “release”有“释放”的意思，“then releasing the anger”表示“然后释放愤怒”，与前文“acknowledging a wrong behavior”相呼应，且and连接两个并列的动名词短语，所以填“releasing”。
- “replace...with...”是固定搭配，意为“用……代替……”，这里说用积极的情绪代替消极的情绪，所以填“with”。
- “let go of”是固定短语，意思是“放下，释放”，“letting go of a grudge”即“放下怨恨”，符合语境，填“go”。
