4 . How to say sorry and really mean it?     1     In fact, a study found that effective apologies are those that were accepted by the offended party and allowed both parties to move on with no unpleasantness. Here are a few key tips.

Wait, never hurry to apologize

Did you turn things around royally?     2     “Sometimes an immediate apology is called for,” says Antony Manstead, a professor of psychology at Cardiff University in Wales.

“But if the other party is angry at your previous wrong doing, it may be more effective to wait because their anger may prevent them from being receptive to an apology.”    3    

Explain, don’t excuse

Because admitting to being wrong is painful and can make people worried that they’re a bad person, they often water down their apology with excuses. For example, “I certainly apologize if I offended anyone” and “I’m very sorry,but in my defense ,you started it.”

    4     Giner-Sorolia says, “It uses the form of an apology-’I’m sorry’- but follows it up by shifting responsibility to the offended person, implying he or she is too sensitive.” “Don’t imply that the other person is wrong to feci upset or angry,” adds Mara Olekalns, a professor at Melbourne Business School.

Let your body do the talking

Experts agree that face-to-face apologies beat phoned-in, e-mailed, or handwritten ones. “Facial expressions, posture, and the tone of voice have all been shown to be important channels that convey sincerity when you express regret,” Giner-Sorolla says. “Anyone can type” “I feel really ashamed, but if you say it live, it’s obvious whether or not you mean it.

A phone call is second best: You’ll convey emotions with your voice and get instant feedback. E-mailed apologies aren’t perfect. They lack emotional connections.     5     “A victim can abuse written apologies and do harm to the apologizer.” Mullet says.

A．A little cool-off time could help.

B．That sort of apology has a name-a nonapology.

C．Is there more to saying sorry than just saying “sorry”?

D．Tliere is nothing worse in these situations than sincere apologies.

E．Once you’ve typed them, the receivers can forward them to anyone.

F．Being a victim does not automatically transform a person into a good person.

G．Therefore, the best time to apologize is when one feels ready to sincerely apologize.

5 . How to Deal With Gossip (流言蜚语)

Gossip is a double-edged sword. Not only can it be incredibly harmful for you, but also others may be affected. Do a serious favor for your friends and yourself --- quit your gossip habit and become a better and more positive person. It’s good to find ways to get started dealing with gossip.

●Face the source of the rumor directly. If you know for sure who’s responsible for spreading a rumor about you, don’t take it lying down. When you have a chance, walk right up to him or her and say that you don’t appreciate the mean things she/he has said. Stay calm when you do this. You don’t want to adopt the cruel words this person has.    1    

●Alert your friends. If you learn that someone’s been spreading nasty rumors about you, your first action should be to consult with your close friends.     2     Tell them the facts of the situation. If the rumor’s not true, they’ll be sure to fight the spread of the rumor. If the rumor is true, they can still help stop its spread by sticking up for you.

●Ignore it.     3     When you hear gossip about yourself, laugh it off. Act as if it’s ridiculous! Share a chuckle(窃笑) about it! Turn the tables by making the person who started the rumor the butt (笑柄) of the joke.

●    4     If nasty rumors and gossip are a frequent problem, or if someone’s told a rumor that might get you in trouble for something you didn’t do, talk to a teacher, counselor, or administrator. These people can help you work through the problem. They can give you advice on how to proceed, make you feel better, and even discipline people who’ve started the rumor.

●Stay away from people who gossip. The single best way to avoid having gossip told about you is to stay away from the kinds of people who tell mean gossip! As popular or cool as they may seem, these people are sad and desperate. They can’t have a good time without spreading hurtful rumors about someone else. Don’t bother with them.     5     Remember a friend who stabs you in the back by telling a nasty rumor isn’t much of a friend at all.

A．When you’re worried about a piece of gossip, change the way you live.

B．Tell an authority about it.

C．Gossip is often best dealt with by paying no attention to it at all.

D．They should be people you know and trust.

E．Work out a plan to avoid being laughed at.

F．Find friends who don’t get enjoyment from hurting people.

G．You also don’t expect to give bystanders the impression that the rumor’s true.

8 . In December 2017, I attended a conference. Five successful women delivered speeches on the topic   “Bouncing   Back   after   Setbacks.”   As   I   sat   there   listening   to   their   many   personal   and professional mistakes and setbacks, I felt fortunate that I hadn’t made that many mistakes in my own life.

Those women had lost thousands in investments, started companies but failed, sold companies that later ended up being worth millions, and lost partners in the name of business. Despite knowing that they had, in fact, bounced back and were again doing very well, I was starting to feel sorry for them.

Then, as if someone whispered in my ear, I heard the words: “Don’t be so proud of yourself. You haven’t made any mistakes because you haven’t lived at all. Look how boring your life is.” Whose voice was this, and how dare it speak to me like that?

I think, for the first time, I heard my own heart speak. It shook me to my core, and it took all I had to keep from crying. I started thinking of the mistakes I had made. The voice was right. There weren’t many at all. I had followed a straight path for 38 years. I went to school, earned bachelor’s and   master’s   degrees   with   honors,   and   stayed   at   every   job   I’d   had   far   longer   than   it   was professionally beneficial for me to do so. In fact, at 38, I had only had three jobs. “The devil(魔鬼) you know is better than the one you don’t ” was my motto.

A quick review of my life made me realize that it was the actions I hadn’t taken that I was suddenly regretting. I hadn’t studied abroad. I hadn’t risked love. In fact, I was perpetually single. I hadn’t started a business. I hadn’t traveled enough. I had said “no” far more than “yes”.

The voice that whispered to me continued to the New Year. It was like it laughed at me. The thought of turning forty frightened me. It’s one thing to be unhappy and unsettled in your twenties, and perhaps even in one’s thirties. But was I going to start a new decade with the same boredom? I needed something to pick me up, some activity I could look forward to.

1. How did the author feel when first hearing stories from the 5 speakers?

A．Regretful.	B．Surprised.
C．Lucky.	D．Guilty.

2. The author felt like crying during the conference because she realized                   .

A．she hadn’t lived her life to the fullest

B．she was deeply touched by the women

C．she had nothing to be proud of in her life

3. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A．The familiar devil is more frightening.	B．Saying “no” is better than saying “yes”.
C．It’s better to stay within the comfort zone.	D．You’d better change your job more frequently.

4. From the passage, we can learn that the author                     .

A．felt afraid of ageing

B．traveled abroad a lot

C．was married in her thirties

D．decided to do something new
