Brits pride themselves on their polite manners towards one another in public. As a result, they oftenusetheword “sorry” quitealot-evenwhentheydontreallymeanit! Usually, if they want to ask a stranger for the time, they would start by saying “Sorry to bother you. Do you know what time it is?” If they are five minutes late for an appointment, they would generally greet the person by saying “Sorry, Im late!”That they say sorry does not only mean they feel sad for someone else because of their problems or misfortunes. Another main dictionary definition of “sorry” is feeling regret because they have done something wrong. And now, think about this. Normally, when they want to ask a stranger a question, they start with “Sorry to disturb you”. In this situation, they arent saying sorry because they feel sad for that person or because they feel regret. In the British culture, apologizing, in general, is a way to be polite, especially to people who they dont know very well. Furthermore, it also can bring them other benefits in their daily life. In a recent experiment, an actor approached different strangers on a rainy day to ask if he could use their mobile phones to make a call. When he approached one group of strangers and asked them without apologizing first, he was only 9% successful in borrowing their phones. However, when he apologized to another group of strangers about the bad weather before asking if he could use their mobile phones, he was 47% successful.5. Why do British people say “sorry” so much?

It is used in more situations than before. B. It is embarrassing to use sorry improperly. C. It has different meanings in different situations. D. Its meaning is always hard to understand.7.

CCitigroup is testing new technology that will allow customers to withdraw money using retinal scanning (扫描视网膜).The bank wants to replace PIN codes with biometric scanners (生物识别扫描仪) that could identify customers using only their eyes. Customers would use a smart phone app to key in the amount they want to draw out ahead of time. As they approached the ATM, the app would link up to the machine and use retinal scanning to confirm the customers identity. The ATM would then release the cash, as long as the scanner recognizes the individual.Citigroup said the retinal scans would take 15 seconds to complete compared to 45 seconds for traditional transactions (交易). It would, they claim, be more secure and would mean that cards could never be skimmed at an ATM again.The Wall St Journal reported that Citigroup has not set a date for when the retinal scanners would be introduced. The bank may have to overcome privacy concerns as some customers may be uncomfortable giving their biometric data to such an institution.Citigroup says it has been working with cash machine manufacturer Diebold and has confirmed that scanning tests have been carried out on 30 consumersin a laboratory at its head office in New York. The test cash machines do not even need a screen or a touchpad as all the information is loaded by the app ahead of time.Citigroup is not the only financial institution testing out cardless cash machinesJP Morgan Chase and Bank of America are working on similar technology. The moves comes in response to US credit scoring firm FICO announcing that in May this year the number of attacks on debit cards used at ATMs had reached its highest level in 20 years. 9.

The terrible destruction causes a sudden sharp pain to people around the world. On Chinese social media network Wechat a common comment on the disaster is: What a pity that we cannot see the damaged parts of the wonder anymore. But the good news is that there is at least one way of seeing them, namely via a video game called Assassins Creed: Unity. In this game, the player can travel to one city after another and enter the buildings exactly like what they are in reality, and see Notre Dame as it was before the fire. Further, with virtual reality technology, which is already quite mature, one can even look around the undamaged Notre Dame as if it is still there. Maybe digital technology could help to better protect architectural cultural heritage.The idea of digitizing ancient buildings, making digital models of them so their data can be saved，dates back to the 1990s and the necessary technology has continued to advance since then. By scanning the ancient buildings with lasers，building 3D models with multiple images，as well as measuring everything precisely，engineers can make a copy as accurate as the real one.As computers and smartphones are hugely popular，the digital replica（复制品）has great use value First，it allows tourists to feel the cultural relics without touching them，which helps protect them. The virtual tour of Dunhuang Grottoes in Gansu Province is a good example of this as tourists can view the paintings without standing near them.

In 2000，a virtual tour of the Great Wall became very popular at the Hannover World Expo，which increased the number of foreign tourists visiting the site in the following years.

Even if the original ones are damaged one day，people can still know what they were like and can build a replica if desired.Of course，however precise a model is，it is not the original. Time is the biggest threat to a countrys architectural heritage，which will always become ruins with the passing of time. Maybe we will have better technologies in the future，but the digital technology offers a practical way to preserve architectural cultural heritage at the moment.17.
