文章大意：这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了道歉对我们的好处。

【推荐1】An apology can achieve great things for both the givers and the receivers although nobody likes to admit that they were wrong.

An apology is crucial to our physical health. When we acknowledge that we are wrongdoers and express our guilt to others, we will free ourselves from the uncomfortable state. This act feels like a weight on us has been lifted. 1 Research showed that heart rate, sweat levels and facial tension decreased in victims of wrongs even when they simply imagined receiving an apology.

Apologizing affects us not just physically, but also mentally. 2 When presented with an apology, the victims may view us as imperfect human beings and find it easier to give forgiveness. In a powerful piece in Psychology Today, writer Beverly Engel described how a simple “I’m sorry” from her mother, after being estranged from each other for three years, made her relieved emotionally. But let’s be real, apologizing can be difficult.

3 We should recognize our action did hurt someone even if our intention may not have been so. Instead of making excuses for what we did, try to bear responsibility and offer a promise to take action so that we will not repeat the behavior in future. 4

Of course, the most effective apologies often bring a cost to our dignity, since we have to admit that we are wrong in front of others or many people. 5 As is known, it is one of the most positive actions we can take when we do something wrong—for ourselves, the others, and the relationship. So, go ahead, apologize a little more often for the things worth apologizing for.

A．There are agreed-upon ways to express our apology to others.

B．It’s a way of showing the price we paid for the wronged action.

C．A good apology affects the health of those on the receiving end, too.

D．But this can often be minor compared to the benefits of a proper apology.

E．This means we should take the blame and not try to justify it or explain it away.

F．Apologize for what you did rather than what other people might have thought about it.

G．It has the ability to disarm others of their anger and to prevent further misunderstandings.

文章大意：这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些提高社交技能的建议和技巧。

【推荐2】If you consider yourself to be shy by nature, you may worry that you’re not a good conversationalist. 1 There are plenty of easy, subtle ways to improve your social skills in your daily life. Here are a few tips and tricks to help you get started.

Start a conversation. 2 Many people feel more relaxed if they have time to prepare a conversation starter. You can write down a list of potential conversation starters. You could, for example, talk about an assignment, if you’re making a conversation in class.

3 People want to feel that the other person is interested in them. You can share simple insights and asking questions to continue the conversation. Before you bring up your own insights, make a rule that you ask at least one question about what the other person is saying.

Remember to engage in only one thing at a time. When a person is talking, pay attention to what he or she is talking about. Keep your mind focused on the present moment instead of planning what you’ll say next. It’s inevitable that you will think of something that relates. That’s okay. 4 But don’t spend time thinking about how to word your responses.

Most conversations will run their own courses. It’s okay if you can’t think of anything else to say. Simply mention something else you have to do, and that you’ll have to step away. Thank the person for their time, and let them know that you’d like to talk again some other time. 5

A．Don’t worry.

B．Choose a shared topic.

C．Keep a conversation going.

D．It is good to have responses ready.

E．A simple question can be enough to start the talk.

F．Practice ahead of time, if you’re easy to get anxious.

G．In this way, allow the conversation to come to a natural stop.
