How do apology languages work? 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: “I’ll try not to do that again.”
Engage in problem-solving.Don’t 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.
The passage mainly talks about___________
A.5 tips for apologies that work B.5 ways of refusing apologies
C.the function of apology languages D.the importance of apology languages
According to Paragraph 1, your apology may be refused mainly because________
A.your listeners can’t understand your dialect.
B.your listeners can’t hear what you said clearly.
C.your apology is not sincere.
D.your apology is not expressed well enough.
When offering an apology, which of the following does the author prefer?

You know it’s truly amazing how the Jewish people survived after thousands of years of being slaves, persecuted(追捕), and even attempted genocide (种族灭绝)when Hitler’s Nazi murdered 6 million Jews! That’s why in 1934, Germany was the 36 place to be a Jew. When Hitler’s teenage gangs 37 his village, the little 38 boy, Heinz, was just 11 years old.
Every day Heinz’s parents taught their 39 how important it was to learn 40 .

But one day, young Heinz was finally 45 by one of Hitler’s bullies(暴徒). For the first time, Heinz was 46 to talk to a Nazi youth. But by staying calm and 47 choosing his words, Heinz surprised himself when he 48 his way out of trouble and 49 this bully not to hurt him 50 to let him go.

After a few years, Heinz’s family escaped from Germany and moved to America. But Heinz never forgot how to talk with people and help bring 53 between enemies.

You’ve probably heard of him- not as Heinz- but by his American name: Henry Kissinger, the 55 US Secretary of State.

Love from us all,
Edna

The world of the science-fiction 3-D film Avatar is so perfect that the line between fact and fiction has become somewhat blurred (模糊) .
Movie-goers have admitted being annoyed by depression at not being able to visit the planet Pandora. Set in the future when Earth’s resources have been used up, director James Cameron’s film tells the story of a company trying to exploit a rare mineral on a new planet. The humans clash with the natives—a peace-loving race of 7-foot-tall, blue-skinned creatures called the Na’vi, who exist in perfect harmony with nature.
Fans have flooded the Internet with their confused feelings. On the site Avatar Forums (论坛), the topic “Ways to deal with the depression of the dream of Pandora not being able to come true” has more than 1,000 posts. In a similar forum, Louis, one user, wrote: “When I woke up this morning after watching Avatar for the first time yesterday, the world seemed grey. It just seems so meaningless. I still don’t really see any reason to keep doing things at all. I live in a dying world.” On the Avatar site Naviblue, a fan calling himself Jorba has even asked others to join him in starting a real Na’vi tribe.
This fantasy world, with its wonderful plants and animal life, is brought to life by using impressive special effects. Many people believe that 2010 is the breakthrough year for the technology helped by 3-D movies such as Avatar. “It has taken the best of our technology to create this virtual world and real life will never be as perfect as it seems on screen.
