Kids may need to apologize if they do something they know was wrong－like telling a lie or breaking a rule on purpose. When they do something their parents tell them not to do, or they don't do something they are supposed to do, they apologize, too.
Grown-ups can apologize，too，to other grown-ups or even to kids. After all，even grown-ups make mistakes sometimes. By apologizing when they're wrong，grown-ups can set a good example and show kids how to do the right thing and apologize when they need to.
Saying I'm sorry when you need to is the right thing to do. It does a lot of good. But by itself，it might not be enough to make everything all better again. Sometimes along with an apology，a person needs to fix the mistake or promise to do better. Sometimes doing a nice thing for the person after you apologize helps show that you really are sorry and want to be friendly again.
Sometimes a heartfelt "I'm" sorry fixes everything right away. Other times，it might take a while for someone to feel friendly after you apologize. You might need to give the other person some time. Even after you say you're sorry，you might still feel bad about what you said or did－but you can feel good about apologizing and about making up your mind to do better.
When someone apologizes to you，you might not feel like being friendly again right away. Once in a while，if a person doesn't change，you might not want to be friends anymore. You might feel glad that the other person apologized and admitted being wrong. But if someone keeps behaving in mean ways or does something that keeps hurting，you might not feel the same way anymore. Just because someone apologizes to you doesn't mean you have to be friendly again. That part is up to you.

Some people surveyed tasted the sweet, salty, and crunchy together with other tastes of food as they listen to different noises. It shows that louder noises reduced the reported sweetness or saltiness of food while increasing the measure of crunchiness(松脆).
It may go some way to explain why airline food is widely complained about by both the workers and passengers. Andy Woods, a researcher, said, “It’s a general opinion that plane foods aren’t fantastic, but I’m sure airlines do their best, so we wondered if there were other reasons. One thought was that perhaps the background noise may have an effect. NASA gives their space explorers very strong-tasting foods, because for some reason, they can’t taste food that strongly—again, it may have something to do with the background noise.”
In a study, 48 people were fed sweet foods or salty ones, while listening to nothing or noise through earphones. Meanwhile they rated(划分等级) the foods. In noisier settings, foods were rated less salty or sweet than they were when it was silent, but were rated crunchier. “The evidence shows that if the background noise is loud, your attention might be drawn to that, away from the food.” Dr. Woods said.
“We are still at an early stage of progressing and this is a rather small study to really draw definitive(最完整可靠的) conclusions from,” Dr Woods said, “but they suggest that restaurants could well adapt their choice of food for a given environment.”
Also in the group’s findings there is the suggestion that the overall satisfaction with the food is also related to the degree to which people like what they are hearing.
1.How does the food taste when it is eaten in a noisy environment?
A. Less salty but crunchier.B. Sweeter and saltier.
C. Sweeter but less crunchy.D. Less sweet and crunchy.
2.Why does NASA give their space explorers very strong-tasting foods?
A. Foods become less tasty in space.
B. The explorers lose their sense of taste in space.
C. Loud noises in space may weaken the explorers’ sense of taste.
D. The explorers need tastier foods to keep energetic in space.
3.We can infer from what Dr. Woods said in the 4th paragraph that ________.
A. the environment influences the food a restaurant sells
B. the researchers have made an effective conclusion
C. music will weaken people’s sense of taste while eating
D. listening to nothing while eating is the best choice
4. What would be the best title for the text?
A. The best dinner environment
B. How to change plane foods
C. Listening to music while eating
D. Background noise affects the taste of foods

There is no doubt whether setting a goal is very important. By set goals you are
taking control of your life. It is having a map to guide you to where you want to head.
With a clear direction, and with certain plans, you will straightly get what you want. On the contrary, without the goal, you do not know where to go or what you want. Then your life becomes dull or meaningless just like the dead water in a muddy lake.
We find that successful people were always those having and achieving their goal.
They set goals, short-term or long-run, to help realize our dreams. Therefore, from my point of view, we should make clear what we really want it and follow our plans as many winners do.

In one study, college students who had important and reality-based conversations were more content than their peers who changed mere amusing remarks. But don’t deny small talks just yet.
Psychologists have long said that connecting with others is important to well-being, but just how much conversation we require is under investigation. In one study, researchers overheard(偷听) undergraduates for four days, and then cataloged each overheard conversation as either “small talks” (“What do you have done? Popcorn? Yummy!”) or “substantive”(实质性的交流)(“So did they get divorced soon after?”). They found that the second type correlated（相关） with happiness —the happiest students had roughly twice as many substantive talks as the unhappiest ones. Small talks, meanwhile, made up only 10 percent of their conversation, versus almost 30 percent of their conversation among the least content students.
But don’t deny small talks just yet. Scientists believe that small talks could promote bonding. Researchers found that a small talk maintains closeness with loved ones after studying ring-tailed lemurs’(环尾弧猴) call-and-response conversations, similar to human small talks. Still, joking with strangers could brighten your morning. In a series of experiments, those bus-takers told to chat with others are reported a more pleasant journey than those told to “enjoy your solitude” or to do whatever they normally would. Small talks can also help us feel connected to our surroundings. People who smiled at, made eye contact with, and briefly spoke with their Starbucks baristas (咖啡师) reported a greater sense of belonging than those who rushed through the transaction.
Of course, some of us are better than others at turning small talks into something bigger. All the differences come to what researchers call “a curious mindset”.
So go ahead to talk and inquire. Small talks needn’t be idle. And being curious about others’ business isn’t all bad.
1. According to the second paragraph, we can know that .
A. we can deny small talks because substantive talks are more important.
B. People who make more small talks are much happier than those making substantive talks.
C. the well-being is built largely due to the percentage of our substantive talks.
D. the least content students have twice the amount of small talks than those content students.
2.The benefits of small talks are the following EXCEPT .
A. It can make the bonding between people much closer
B. It can shorten the distance between strangers and make the journey pleasant
C. It makes us feel connected with the surroundings
D. You can get more free cups of coffee from Starbucks baristas
3.What’s the author’s attitude to small talks?
A. Negative. B. Supportive. C. Neutral. D. Critical.
4. The text mainly tells us that .
A. small talks are important in communication
B. substantive talks make people happier than small talks
C. small talks and substantive talks are equally important in life
D. substantive talks are important in communication
