Have you ever tried to apologize, only to be refused? It may be that you were offering a partial apology in a “language” , that was foreign to your listener. The five languages of apology include:Apology Language 1: “I am sorry.”List the hurtful effects of your action. Not “I am sorry if ”, but “I am sorry that”. You might ask if they want to add any points that you have not recognized.Apology Language 2:“I was wrong.” Name your mistake and accept fault. Note that it is easier to say “You are right” than “ I am wrong”, but the latter carries more weight.Apology Language 3: “ What can I do to make it right?” How are you now? How shall I make amends(弥补) to you? How can I restore your confidence that I love you even though I was so hurtful to you?Apology Language 4: “Ill try not to do that again.” Engage in problem-solving. Dont make excuses for yourself such as, “Well, my day was just so” Instead, offer what you will change to prevent yourself from putting them in the same bad situation again. Apology Language 5: “Will you please forgive me?” Be patient in seeking forgiveness. They may need some time or greater clarification of your input from Apology Languages 1-4. Finally, your apology may not be accepted, but at least you know that you have been faithful in offering a sincere olive branch of peace.41.

The warning: The suns summertime rays are more dangerous than once thought. A team of scientists from 80 nations recently reported to the United Nations that a layer of ozone（臭氧层）in the atmosphere, which protects humans from harmful levels of ultraviolet（紫外线）radiation, will be thinner over the United States this summer. The thinner layer allows more ultraviolet rays from the sun to reach Earth. The extra amount of ultraviolet radiation could cause an increase in the number of cases of skin cancer. Scientists first became concerned about the layer in the mid-1980s when a hole was discovered in the layer above Antarctica during the winter. The hole was caused in chemicals used in refrigerators and air conditioners. When these chemicals are sent out into the atmosphere, they produce gases that destroy the ozone. Concern about the protective ozone layer rose more recently when data from satellites and ground stations showed that ozone levels were dropping over areas other than Antarctica. Low ozone levels were recorded in the spring and summer over the United States and over other populated areas in the world. Although many countries have already begun stopping the use of ozone-destroying chemicals, the new findings are expected to advance the timetable for a total ban of the chemicals.45. The scientists have observed the ozone layer _. A. since 1980 B. since last winter C. for more than 20 years D. for about one year46. The ozone layer in the atmosphere can _. A. do a lot of good to human beings in many ways B. protect humans from diseases caused by bad weather C. do a lot of harm to human beings in the summer-time D. protect humans from harmful levels of ultraviolet radiation47.

A. above Arctic during the winter in the mid-1980s B. above Antarctica during the winter in the mid-1980s C. over somewhere in the north of the equator in 1980 D. over the USA in the summertime in the mid-1980s48The damage to the ozone layer was caused by _. A. the changeable weather B. ozone-destroying chemicals C. chemicals from refrigerators D. chemicals from air conditioners C 高#考#资#源#网Did you ever think someone was scary (恐怖的)because they looked different or ate strange food? Well, they might think the same about you! One of the things we all need to do is to celebrate variety. We shouldnt think badly of people from other cultures because they behave differently from us. Sometimes we treat people from other countries unfairly, because one person from that culture did something bad. Well, has your class ever been punished just because a few kids were causing trouble? Has your whole family ever been blamed for something your little sister did? It doesnt seem fair, does it? Its just equally unfair to blame a whole culture for what two or three people have done.So here are some things that you can do to help yourself understand other cultures:Find common ground!Just remember that even though some people look different on the outside, that doesnt change how they are on the inside. They still have the exact same feelings! _Because someone from another culture has been mean to you, you decide to avoid everyone from that culture. Well think about it. Why are you blaming them for something they didnt have anything to do with? Put yourself in their shoes. How would you feel? Putting yourself inside someone elses head can be a very powerful way to understand WHY they are acting the way they are.Try to make friends with people from other cultures! You could ask them about their culture, or what it is like in their country, if they can remember, or if they have ever lived there. Try foods from their culture, or ask them about words in their language. You might be surprised at how interesting other cultures can be! You can join great discussion groups, participate in projects, and have lots of fun doing new things.Be aware that youve judged other peopleIf you know what you have done, it helps to make things better. Pay attention to what you think about other people. It helps.49. What is mainly discussed in this passage? A. Why there are differences between people B. What to do to understand other cultures C.

In my early 20s, I rarely went to bed before midnight, and I would almost always get up late the next morning. But after a while I couldnt ignore the high relationship between success and rising early. On those rare occasions where I did get up early, I noticed that my productivity was almost always higher. So I set out to become a habitual early riser. But whenever my alarm went off, my first thought was always to stop that noise and go back to sleep. Eventually some sleep research showed me that I was using the wrong strategy. The most common wrong strategy is this: You assume that if youre going to get up earlier, youd better go to bed earlier. It sounds very reasonable, but will usually fail. There are two main schools(流派) of thought on sleep patterns. One is that you should go to bed and get up at the same time every day. The second school says you should go to bed when youre tired and get up when you naturally wake up. However, I have found both of them are wrong if you care about productivity. If you sleep at set hours, youll sometimes go to bed when you arent sleepy enough. Youre wasting time lying in bed awake and not being asleep. If your sleep is based on what your body tells you, youll p
