your own children. But how you say it can be quite tricky.
If you say to your children "I am sorry I got angry with you, but .."what follows that"s but" can make the
apology ineffective. "I had a bad day" or "your noise was giving me a headache" leaves the person who has
been injured feeling that he should be apologizing for his bad behavior in expecting an apology.
Another method by which people appear to apologize without actually doing so is to say "I"m sorry you"re
upset"; this suggests that you are somehow at fault for allowing yourself to get upset by what the other person
has done.
Then there is the general, all-covering apology, which avoids the necessity of identifying a specific act that
was particularly hurtful or insulting, and which the person who is apologizing should promise never to do again.
Saying "I"m useless as a parent" does not commit a person to any specific improvement.
These pseudo-apologies are used by people who believe saying sorry shows weakness. Parents who wish
to teach their children to apologize should see it as a sign of strength, and therefore not resort to these pseudo-
apologies.
But even when presented with examples of genuine contrition (悔悟), children still need help to become
aware of the complexities of saying sorry. A three-year-old might need help in understanding that other children
feel pain just as he does, and that hitting a playmate over the head with a heavy toy requires an apology. A six-
year-old might need reminding that spoiling other children"s expectations can require an apology. A 12-year-old
might need to be shown that raiding the biscuit tin without asking permission is acceptable, but that borrowing
a parent"s clothes without permission is not.
B. complicated
C. cautious
D. various
B. it is not necessary
C. it is neither clear nor effective
D. it is hurtful and insulting
B. parents should be patient and tolerant
C. the significance of it should be involved
D. their ages should be taken into account
B. a big problem faced by every family
C. a sign of social progress
D. not as simple as it seems

Athens Olympic 110m hurdle champion Liu Xiang felt so relieved to return to racetrack after getting

"I am so exhausted (疲惫的)from so many social activities, which made me even more tired than
training," said the 21-year-old Liu, who wrote a new chapter in China"s Olympic history by winning the
country"s first ever athletics short-distance running title in the men"s 110m hurdles (栏) in Athens in August.

into an instant national hero with the Olympic glory (荣誉,光荣) and one of the most popular Olympic gold
medalists, taking part in scores of celebration activities since he returned to China early September.
"My regular training has been interrupted for such a long time that I think I can only run at about 13.5
seconds now," said Liu, who clocked a world record-tying time of 12.91 to clinch the title.
"I would rather forget what I have achieved in the past and try my best to realize a higher goal," he said.

Many Americans have parties at home and invite all their friends. Many of these events are noisy. People shout
and sing. They often blow on small noisemakers when the New Year arrives at midnight. They kiss their husband or
wife or the person they are with. They dance to music. Other Americans spend a quiet evening at home.They drink
Champagne at midnight to welcome the New Year.
Some people drink too much alcohol at New Year"s Eve celebrations.This can lead to tragic results if a person
drinks too much and then drives a car. The National Safety Council says hundreds of people die in road accidents
during the holiday.
In recent years,the danger of accidents has resulted in a new tradition called the"designated driver" One person
among a group of friends drinks little or no alcohol during New Year"s Eve celebrations. Then this designated driver
can safely drive the other people home. Many American cities also offer free taxi service on New Year"s Eve to take
people home safely.
Other Americans observe the coming of the New Year at events without alcohol.More than 220 American cities
hold these First Night celebrations. Artists in Boston Massachusetts started the tradition of First Night celebrations.
In 1976.They wanted to observe the coming of a New Year. But they did not want to hold noisy drinking parties. So
they organized music concerts, art exhibitions and other events to observe the holiday.
1997. Half the population of the country watched the final event and a new kind of TV program was born.
Two years later in Holland, the first series of Big Brother was filmed. Again, it was a great success and the
final program was watched by 15 million people. Now more than 20 countries around the world have Big
Brother or Expedition Robinson on their TV screens. The ordinary people who take part in the programs
are known by millions of people in their own countries and reality TV has become big, big business.
For the TV producers, reality TV is a dream which come true because many of the programs cost nothing
to make. At some point, the television viewers (观众) are asked to telephone the program to vote or to apply
to take part in the show. It is the cost of these telephone calls that pays for the shows. One of the most
popular shows is Pop Idol. In the show, a group of attractive young people are made into pop stars. TV
viewers vote for their favorite person on the show. The winner makes a record and millions of copies of the
record are sold. His or her pictures are published on the covers of magazines or on the front pages of
newspapers, and then, they are quickly forgotten.
But not everyone is happy about reality TV. In Portugal, two TV channels got into trouble because they
showed too much of the personal lives of the people in the shows. In France, reality TV is called "rubbish
TV" and the TV studios of Big Brother were attacked three times in one week. In Greece, Big Brother was
described as "against human rights and civilization".

way across the Sahara without a map, while others can lose themselves in the next street?
Scientists say we"re all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly understood how it works. One
theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it. Research being
carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don"t use it, we lose it.
"Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around. Says Jim Martland, Research Director of the project." However, if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never develop
the skills."
Jim Martland also emphasizes that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of
direction. He makes the following suggestions:
If you are using a map, turn it so it relates to the way you are facing.
If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a tree. Note landmarks on
the route as you go away from your bike. When you return, go back along the same route.
Simplify the way of finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town. Streams, or walls in the
countryside to guide you. Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks
such as tower blocks or hills which can help to find out where you are. Now you need never get lost again!
B. people learn a sense of direction as they grow older
C. people never lose their sense of direction
D. everybody possesses a sense of direction from birth
B. They should never be allowed out alone if they lack a sense of direction.
C. They have a sense of direction and can find their way around.
D. They can develop a good sense or direction if they are driven around in a car.
B. draw a map of the route to help remember where it is.
C. avoid taking the same route when you come back to it.
D. remember something easily recognized on the route.
B. use walls, streams and streets to guide yourself.
C. remember your route by looking out for steps and stairs.
D. count the number of landmarks that you see.
B. Children have the ability to find their way around
C. The ways to improve sense of direction
D. Everyone is born with a sense of direction and it can be improved
