“Sorry” is a word that people in Britain often say in their daily life.

One day while I was w　 1　 on the street, a young man ran by hurriedly, brushing（轻擦）against my handbag. He continued his way, but turned b 2　 and said “sorry” to me. Even in a rush, he didn’t f 3　 to say “sorry”. One day, after I bought some bananas, the shopkeeper was passing me the change, but I wasn’t ready for it and a coin dropped onto the ground. “Sorry, Madam,” he said w 4　 bending to pick it up. I was s 5　 why he said “sorry” to me. Another time, I stepped on a man’s f　 6 at the entrance to a cinema. At the same time, we b 7　 said “sorry”.

Slowly, I got to know that when something unpleasant happens in daily life, the British don’t

c　 8　　 much about who is wrong. If someone is in trouble, a “sorry” is always n 9　 .　 Perhaps that is w　 10　 I seldom see people quarrel on the buses or streets in Britain.
