It’s never easy to admit you are in the wrong. Being human, we all need to know the art of    31   . Look back with honesty and think how often you’ve judged   32  , said unkind things, pushed yourself ahead at the   33   of a friend. Then count the occasions   34   you indicated clearly and truly that you were   35  . A bit frightening, isn’t it? Frightening because some deep   36   in us knows that when even a small wrong has been   37  , some mysterious moral feeling is disturbed; and it stays out of balance until fault is acknowledged and     38   is expressed.

I remember a doctor friend, the late Clarence Lieb, telling me about a man who came to him with a variety of   39  : headaches, insomnia and stomach trouble. No   40   cause could be found. Finally my friend said to the man, “  41   you tell me what’s worrying you, I can’t help you.” After some   42  , the man confessed that, as executor of his father’s will, he had been   43   his brother, who lived abroad, of his inheritance (继承权). Then and there the wise old doctor made the man write to his brother   44   forgiveness and enclosing a cheque as the first step in restoring their good   45  . He then went with him to mail box in the corridor. As the letter disappeared, the man   46   crying. “Thank you,” He said, “I think I’m   47  .” And he was. A heartfelt apology can not only heal a damaged relationship but also make it   48  . If you can think of someone who   49   an apology from you, someone you have wronged, or just neglected, do something about it   50  .

LAS VEGAS (AFP) — Children may not like it but a British technology firm has invented an electronic babysitter -- a wristwatch-like device that lets parents know where their children are at all times.
The GPS Child Locator, or num8, attaches securely to a child’s wrist and contains a Global Positioning System (GPS), said Matthew Salmon, a spokesman for the manufacturer, lok8u.
"It uses GPS and GSM (Global System for Mobiles) technology with an accuracy of 10 feet (three meters)," he said. "It tracks your child."
"It only starts working when the device is connected to the child’s wrist," Salmon said, and is "very difficult to get off."
"Even if the child managed to get it off it would send an emergency text message through to your mobile phone," he said. "It would give you a Google Maps image with their exact location, the street name and the zip code."
When a child is wearing the device, a parent sends the text message "wru" and the child’s current location is sent back to a mobile phone or computer.
Parents can also log on to the company website to discover their child’s present location.
"You can also set up a perimeter, an invisible fence, and if they wander out of this invisible fence which you put on the Internet it will warn you," Salmon said. "It will text you immediately."
Salmon said the device is waterproof and shockproof and lasts for three days with a full charge.
It will be available in both Britain and the United States this year and retails for 200 dollars with a 10 dollar a month subscription fee.
He said the company had received thousands of inquiries about the device since launching it this week. "Fifty percent are positive, 50 percent are negative, that it’s a bit Big Brotherish," he said. "But it’s really just about letting you have freedom of mind."
【小题1】Only when       does the device begin to work.

Many years ago,I owned a service station and roadhouse on the main road between Melbourne and Adelaide.

One very cold,wet night at about 3:30 a.m.,there was a    41    on the front door of our house.A young man,wet from      42      to toe,explained that he had      43      out of petrol about 30 km up the road.He had left his pregnant(怀孕的) wife and his two children    44    at the car and said that he would hitchhike(搭便车) back.

Once I had    45    a can with petrol,I took him back to his car where his two-year-old and four-year-old children were both    46   ,saying that they were cold.Once the car had started,I suggested that he    47    me back.

Before leaving,I had turned the heater    48    in the roadhouse,so that when we went in,it was nice and    49   .While the little ones played and ran    50   ,I prepared bread and butter for the children,and hot chocolate for the    51   .

It was about 5 a.m. before they   52  .The young fellow asked me how much he    53    

me and I told him that the petrol pump(加油泵) had    54    $15.He offered to pay “call-out fee”,but I wouldn’t accept it.

About a month later,I received a    55    from Interstate,a large bus company that we bad been trying to    56    to stop off at our roadhouse for a long time.It    57    out that the young fellow I had helped was its general manager,the most    58    person in the company.

In his letter,he thanked me again and    59    me that,from then on,all their buses would stop at my service station.In this    60   ,a little bit of kindness was rewarded with a huge amount of benefits.
