If you want to teach your children how to say sorry, you must be good at saying it yourself, especially to your own children. But how you say it can be quite tricky.

If you say to your children “I’m sorry I got angry with you , but…”, what follows that “but” can render the apology ineffective: ”I had a bad day” or “your noise was giving me a headache” leaves the person who has been injured feeling that he should be apologizing for his bad behavior in expecting an apology.

Another method by which people appear to apologize without actually doing so is to say “I’m sorry you’re upset”; this suggests that you are somehow at fault for allowing yourself to get upset by what the other person has done.

Then there is the general, all-covering apology, which avoids the necessity of identifying a specific act that was particularly hurtful or insulting, and which the person who is apologizing should promise never to do again. Saying “I’m useless as a parent” does not commit a person to any specific improvement.

These pseudo-apologies are used by people who believe saying sorry shows weakness. Parents who wish to teach their children to apologize should see it as a sign of strength, and therefore not resort to these pseudo-apologies.

But even when presented with examples of genuine contrition(悔悟), children still need help to become aware of the complexities of saying sorry. A three-year-old might need help in understanding that other children feel pain just as he does, and that hitting a playmate over the head with a heave toy requires an apology. A six-year-old might need reminding that spoiling other children’s expectations can require an apology. A 12-year-old might need to be shown that raiding the biscuit tin without asking permission is acceptable, but that borrowing a parent’s clothes without permission is not.

71．If a mother adds “but” to an apology,　　　 .

　　　 A．she doesn’t feel that she should have apologized

　　　 B．she does not realize that the child has been hurt

　　　 C．the child may find the apology easier to accept

　　　 D．the child may feel that he owes her an apology

72．According to the author, saying “I am sorry you are upset” most probably means”　　　 “.

　　　 A．You have good reason to get upset

　　　 B．I am aware you are upset, but I am not to blame

　　　 C．I apologize for hurting your feelings

　　　 D．I am at fault for making you upset

73．It is not advisable to use the general, all-covering apology because　　　 .

　　　 A．It gets one into the habit of making empty promises

　　　 B．it may make the other person feel guilty

　　　 C．it is vague and ineffective

　　　 D．it is hurtful and insulting

74．We learn from the last paragraph that in teaching children to say sorry　　　 .

　　　 A．the complexities involved should be ignored

　　　 B．their ages should be taken into account

　　　 C．parents need to set them a good example

　　　 D．parents should be patient and tolerant

75．It can be inferred from the passage that apologizing properly is　　　　 .

　　　 A．a social issue calling for immediate attention

　　　 B．not necessary among family members

　　　 C．a sign of social progress

　　　 D．not as simple as it seems

Are you preparing for a big test? If so, you may want to go to play some basketball in between hitting the books. Doctors are starting to find more and more information that suggests a connection between exercise and brain development. Judy Cameron, a scientist at Oregon Health and science university, studies brain development. According to her research, it seems that exercise can make blood vessels(血管). Including those in the brain, stronger and more fully developed. Dr. Cameron is sure that this allows people who exercise to think better. As she says, “while we already know that exercise is good for the heart,　 exercise can actually cause physical changes in the brain.”

The effects of exercise on brain development can even be seen in babies. Babies who do activities that require a lot of movement and physical activity show greater brain development than babies who are less physically active. Even a little movement can show big results. Margaret Barns, a scientist, also believes in the importance of the exercise. She thinks that many learning disabilities that children have in primary school or high school can result from a lack of movement as babies. ”Babies need movement that encourages and excites their five senses. They need to set up a connection between motion and memory. In this way, as they get older, children will begin to connect physical activity with higher learning,” says Margaret.

Older people can develop their brains as well. Cornell university studied a group of seniors who have a short-term memory increase of up to 40 percent after exercising just three hours a week. The exercise does not have to be very difficult, but it does have to increase heart rate. Also, just like the motion for babies, exercise for older people should not be too simple. Learning some new skills or actions, such as with yoga or tai-chi helps to open up memory paths in the brain that may not have been used for a long time. For most people, any type of physical activity that increases the heart rate is helpful. The main aim is to increase the brain’s flow of blood. And your brain can benefit from as little as two to three hours of exercise a week.

68．What is the main idea of this passage?

　　　 A．How exercise makes people strong.　　 B．How to get good scores on a test.

　　　 C．How exercise helps the brain.　　　　　　 D．How the brain can change.

69．According to the passage, what is the connection between exercise and brain development?

　　　 A．Exercise helps make our blood vessels.

　　　 B．Physical exercise helps us think better.

　　　 C．The brain needs special mental exercise.

　　　 D．The more exercise, the bigger the brain.

70．Why is Yoga suggested for seniors?

　　　 A．It does good to the joints of old people.

　　　 B．It doesn’t increase the heart rate.

　　　 C．It includes new learning actions.

　　　 D．It can be done in groups.

“ONLY A COKE WILL DO”

　　　 “We don’t necessarily believe that new advertising, which might make consumers feel better about the Coke brand or better about the ads themselves ,will actually result in consumers consuming more of the product,” Morgan Stanley’s Bill Pecoriello wrote in a research note the days after the investor(投资者)meeting. But Coke is optimistic it can regain its old magic ,and is banking on a mew slogan: “Welcome to the Coke side of life.”

BREAKTHROUGH HIT?

　　　 With PepsiCo about to surpass Coke as the beverage king on Wall Street-Pepsi’s market capitalization has soared in recent years to ＄97.9 billion ,putting it less than a billion dollars behind its rival(对手)-the heat is on Coke. It’s set to launch a new marketing campaign in March ,2006. And having taken a quick look at Coke’s investor presentation on Dec.7 in New York, my sense is that Coke may be moving in the right direction.

　　　 Given the continued shift by consumers away from soda-Coke’s stronghold-and into alternative beverages like juice ,tea ,and water ,Coke badly needs a breakthrough hit. And given that shift away from soda ,some analysts wonder whether even the catchiest new ads will be enough to put the fizz back into Coke.

SAME OLD ,UPDATED

　　　 The new flavors(口味)of PowerAde sports drink will probably enable Coke to continue stealing market share from pepsiCo’s Gatorade brand. And Coke is getting a little more creative with packaging ,including new ,aluminum bottles of Coke that will be sold in night clubs ,and an 8.4-ounce “100” calories version of its flag ship Coke that will appeal to women who want fewer calories and will like the fact that the small can will fit in their purse .I doubt whether other new products will be successful ,including a new coffee-flavored soda called Coke-Cola Blak that I tried .Think carbonated coffee. But I am not sure if the product ,which Coke is pitching as an afternoon pick-me-up for the 35-and-over set ,is going to pull people away from their afternoon Frappucino fix. And my opinion is that Vault ,an orange-flavored energy drink, will have just as

much trouble unseating mountain Dew among teens as did Coke’s last attempt, a product called Surge.

　　 If there is one concern I have about the fresh offerings coke plans to launch this year, it appears that many of them are simply new brands, not new products.

64．According to the passage, we can know that 　　　　.

　　　 A．Coke mainly depends on new products recently.

　　　 B．Nowadays Coke is comparatively less popular

　　　 C．PepsiCo has taken the place of Coke

　　　 D．Coke has few new brands

65．The underlined word soared means　　　　 .

　　　 A．achieved 　　　　　　 B．dropped　　　　　 C．increased　　　　　　　 D．failed

66．When the middle-aged people feel tired, what would they prefer to drink in order to continue their work?

　　　 A．Vault 　　　　　　　　 B．Surge　　　　　　　 C．Coke-Coda Blak 　 D．Frappucino

67．What is the best title of the passage?

　　　 A．Troubles in Coke Company 　　　　　　　

　　　 B．Varieties of New products

　　　 C．The importance of New Advertisements　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

　　　 D．The relationship between Coke an Pepsi

　　　 “Tear’em apart!” “Kill the fool!” “Murder the referee(裁判)!”

　　　 These are common remarks one may bear at various sporting events .At the time they are made ,they may seem innocent enough. But let’s not kid ourselves. They have been known to influence behavior in such a way as to lead to real blood shed. Volumes have been written about the way words affect us .It has been shown that words having certain connotations(含义)may cause us to react in ways quite foreign to what we consider to be our usual humanistic behavior. I see the term “opponent” as one of those words. Perhaps the time has come to delete it from sports terms.

　　　 The dictionary meaning of the term “opponent” is “adversary” ,”enemy” ; “one who opposes your interests.” Thus ,when a player meets an opponent ,he or she may tend to treat that opponent as an enemy. At such times ,winning may dominate one’s intellect ,and every action ,no matter how gross ,may be considered justifiable. I recall an incident in a handball game when a referee effused a player’s request for a time out for a glove change because he did not consider them wet enough. The player proceeded to rub his gloves across his wet T-shirt and then exclaimed. “Are they wet enough now?”

　　　 In the heat of battle ,players have been observed to throw themselves across the court without considering the consequences that such a move might have on anyone in their way. I have also witnessed a player reacting to his opponent’s international and illegal blocking by deliberately hitting him with the ball as hard as he could during the course of play. Off the court ,they are good friends. Does that make any sense? It certainly gives proof of a court attitude which departs from normal behavior.

　　　 Therefore, I believe it is time we elevated(提升)the game to the level where it belongs thereby setting an example to the rest the sporting world. Replacing the term “opponent” with “associate” could be an ideal way to start.

　　　 The dictionary meaning of the term “associate” is “colleague” ; “friend” ; “companion”. Reflect a moment! You may soon see and possible feel the difference in your reaction to the term “associate” rather than “opponent”.

59．Which of the following statements best expresses the author’s view?

　　　 A．Aggressive behavior in sports can have serious consequences.

　　　 B．The words people use can influence their behavior.

　　　 C．Unpleasant words in sports are often used by foreign athletes.

　　　 D．Unfair judgments by referees will lead to violence on the sports field.

60．Rough words are spoken during games because the players　　　　 .

　　　 A．are too eager to win

　　　 B．are usually short-tempered and easily offended

　　　 C．can’t afford to be polite in fierce competition

　　　 D．treat their rivals as enemies

61．What did the handball player do when he was not allowed a time out to change his gloves?

　　　 A．He refused to continue the game.

　　　 B．He angrily hit the referee with a ball.

　　　 C．He claimed that the referee was unfair.

　　　 D．He wet his gloves by rubbing them across his T-shirt.

62．According to the passage ,players ,in a game ,may　　　　 .

　　　 A．deliberately throw the ball at anyone illegally blocking their way

　　　 B．keep on screaming and shouting throughout the game

　　　 C．lie down on the ground as an act of protest

　　　 D．kick the ball across the court with force

63．The author hopes to have the current situation in sports improved by　　　　 .

　　　 A．calling on players to use clean language on the court

　　　 B．raising the referees’ sense of responsibility

　　　 C．changing the attitude of players on the sports fields

　　　 D．regulating the relationship between players and referees

　　　 I know a woman who likes to do grocery shopping ,but I also know a lot of people who hate it! People who hate shopping are likely to like supermarkets ,those huge stores with almost everything you need in one location.

　　　 The supermarket saves me both money and time .The little corner grocery store is often more conveniently located ,more pleasant and open at late hours when the supermarket is closed .But the grocer must charge you more than the英才苑big market for most items because he can only buy a smaller number of cases of one product from the manufacturer, while a supermarket chain can buy thousands of cases at a time; thus the supermarket can buy cheaper and can sell cheaper to you.

　　　 Nonetheless, food is very far from cheap so I always hunt for bargains. I check ads in the newspapers and the market’s “sale” flyers and try to make up a shopping list that includes “sale” items.

　　　 When I enter a supermarket I take a big ,wheeled basket and roll it around from aisle to aisle. Fresh and frozen foods ,canned goods ,boxes ,bags and bottles soon fill up my cart .I also buy many non-food items such as paper napkins ,plastic wraps (to keep food fresh under refrigeration ), laundry detergent ,light bulbs ,etc .Some foods that have already been cooked like chicken or prepared like salads are available in the “delicatessen” (熟菜店)section of the market. But they are often too expensive for my food budget.

　　　 There is one big danger in supermarket shopping : there are thousands of items within hand’s reach on the shelves ,all attractively packaged .The temptation to buy things you don’t really need or want is very strong! Don’t be fooled by the pictures on the boxes ; for example, a box with a picture of a beautiful cake on it may only contain a cake mix. Read the labels.

　　　 When I have loaded up my basket and checked my shopping list again to make sure I have everything I need ,I go to a checkout counter . Here a cashier (or a computer) will look at the price marked on every item I buy ,ring it up on the cash register ,add sales tax where appropriate, and then total up the bill . The register will show me the amount I must pay. I groan at how high prices are and complain about inflation , and hand my money to the cashier. While the groceries are being bagged ,I count my change and then head home.

　　　 Sometimes, of course ,the market is very crowed and there are long lines at the checkout counter . But even so ,in much less time than is would have taken me to go from one small shop or grocery store to another, I have done the family’s major shopping for a week or two or even more.

56．It can be inferred from the passage that a lot of people hate shopping because　　　　 .

　　　 A．it will take a lot of time to go from one shop or grocery store to another

　　　 B．the shops are often very crowded

　　　 C．it will cost them a lot of money

　　　 D．they have to hunt for bargains

57．Which of the following statements about supermarket shopping is NOT true?

　　　 A．One tends to buy unnecessary goods.

　　　 B．One can save both money and time.

　　　 C．It will take the place of grocery shopping.

　　　 D．It is preferred by people hating shopping.

58．Why does the author say the supermarket saves him/her time?

　　　 A．He/ She can do the family’s major shopping for a week or two or even more in one

　　　 location.

　　　 B．He / She needn’t wait to pay at the checkout counter.

　　　 C．He / She can get everything needed at a supermarket.

　　　 D．It stays open until very late.
