My husband had just bought a new washing machine for me. I decided to use it the   21   day, and I washed a lot of things. Everything worked   22  , but I couldn't find 23  of my husband's socks though I had looked  24  for it.

    The next morning, I got ready for 25   as usual. When the bell rang, the students came in. I greeted them and told them   26  we were going to do  27  .

    When I turned   28   to write on the blackboard, the class burst out  29  . They laughed and laughed. They laughed so much, in fact, that I was  30   the headmaster would be in to see all this.

    I asked the class to  31  , but the 32 I talked, the more they laughed. So I thought I had better pay  33   attention to them and continue to write on the blackboard. When I did this, they laughed even more.

    Before long, the teacher who had the room next to   34   came to see  35   all the laughter was about. When he came in, he started   36  , too.

    "Good  Heavens ! "I said. "Will   37   please tell me what is so  38  ?"

    "Oh, God," said the teacher, " you have a brown 39 stuck to the back of your shirt. "

    So that's   40   I found my husband's missing sock.

    "Oh, well," I said to the class, "let's just say  you have had an unforgettable lesson on static electricity(静电)."

There is a problem each of us will face: Apologizing is difficult. We are trapped in what we think of ourselves by holding onto our pride. We can be selfish and not willing to admit our most obvious mistakes. Pride eats away at us as we argue or ignore the mistake. Guilt traps us in its cage of lies and pride as we defend our self-centered minds.

It has happened to me. I have had too much pride and selfishness to apologize to a loved one I had hurt. When I did want to apologize, I couldn’t bring myself to face the other person. This is the pride I’m talking about. Maybe apologies come difficult for men because they’re expected to be dominant(占优势的). It’s like the joke that a man never asks for directions when lost. Ladies are more emotionally open than men and are willing to express their emotion. Still, both genders wonder how to apologize correctly.

How does not apologizing affect other people? They feel hurt and believe that you are not willing to communicate your mistake. They lose trust in you as you hide behind your mistake and avoid reality. They become angry with you, wondering why you will not tell them the truth. They may begin to counter your lack of apologies by not apologizing themselves and then the relationship goes downhill as the two of you get caught in a power struggle.

You need to communicate your mistakes. A mistake you made is like a scratch(划痕) and by not apologizing you are making the scratch a deeper wound and rubbing salt into it. You need to stop hurting the other person and yourself by learning to apologize. There is real power in apologizing and emotional healing.

People find it hard to apologize for their mistakes due to ________.

A. emotional healing                     B. their pride

C. making arguments                     D. being trapped in lies

Why are men more unwilling to make apologies?

   A. They don’t intend to hurt other people.

   B. They are too shy.

   C. They don’t want to be considered as weak.

   D. They think it is not necessary to apologize.

The underlined word “counter” probably means _________.

   A. object to        B. focus on      C. depend on    D. benefit from

What bad effect does it have if you refuse to apologize for your mistakes?

   A. You won’t be focused on by other people.

   B. All people won’t believe in you in turn.

   C. You won’t be forgiven even if you tell the truth.

   D. The friendship will be hurt and trust will be lost.


第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)
阅读下列短文,从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
To all of you at Chinese love links,
I am 44 years old and never married. I have always wanted to find that perfect someone that I dream about. For about the last five years I have almost given up the hope of ever finding the one I truly wish to spend the rest of my life with.
I have always tried to be a nice guy. I had found your website some four or five months before. I did not know what to expect. I don't know how to speak Chinese and never thought truly of how I was to an Asian woman.
Well, I had a lot of replies from some very nice and pretty women. I had a hard time finding only a couple to write to. But one stood out from the rest. She was cute, nice and seemed to hold a lot of the same values as I do. In a short time I had decided to write only to her. We communicated via e - mails 2 - 3 times a day and phone calls once or twice a week.
I went and met her and her family only a week ago. Her name is Ying and she lives in Nanning. I found Nanning to be one of the most beautiful cities I had ever been to. We had even decided to marry and to bring her to the USA under the fiance visa. Not only did she meet everything I had ever hoped to find in someone else but turned out to be what every woman should be like, at least the ones I have met. We plan to marry as soon as she is here and start a family together as neither of us has children but we both want them.
So to anyone out there reading this, I can only say this: You may not find what you are looking for if you're not honest with your partner and yourself. This site worked for me mostly because I was honest with something that I wanted in someone else. When I did find her, love can work even across the other side of the world, between language differences and cultural differences. I wish you all luck in finding your perfect match. I have finally found mine and wish to give all my thanks to those at Chinese love links to help make it happen.
Sincerely yours,
Arthur
