If you say to your children "I am sorry I got angry with you, but ..." what follows that "but' can render 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 'Tm sorry you're upset"; this suggests that you are somewhat 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, children will 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 to requires an apology. A six-year-old might need to be shown that raiding the buscuit tin without asking permission is acceptable, but that borrowing a parent's clothes without permission is not.
If a mother adds "but" to an apology, ______.
A.she doesn't feel that she should have apologized
B.she does not realize that the child has been hurt
C.the child may find the apology easier to accept
D.the child may feel that he owes her an apology

Passage Four

第7题
听力原文: Watching movies is a good way to improve your listening: I would stress the usefulness of repetition. So watch a DVD of an English-language film with Chinese subtitles.Then,a week or so later,watch the film again with the subtitles covered up.This time,you will know broadly what the characters are trying to say, which will help your brain link the English words with their meanings.Of course,you can pause and rewind the film if there are certain bits that really puzzle you.
The next step would be to find a way to listen to the soundtrack of the film without watching it.You should know the scenes and the story well by now,so by removing the pictures your brain will really focus on the language spoken.
Before you do any of this,think carefully about what film you want to use to practice your listening.If you want to learn American English,be sure to watch a film set in the USA.If you choose a really well-regarded film,one that has won lots of Academy Awards,for example,you will probably be able to buy the screenplay of the film,which will be very useful to you.
Lastly, choose a film that you are not going to get tired of if you watch it three times!
This is a very satisfying way to practice your listening.You will really feel that you are improving.
What message does the speaker try to convey in this passage?
A.One can improve listening by watching movies.
B.Everybody wants to improve listening nowadays.
C.There is a good way to memorize vocabularies.
D.One needs to work hard to improve English.

M: But surely, you would agree that there simply isn’t a lot of research out there to support my arguments.
W: Ah, but research is only one way to back up an argument.
M: May I know what other things I can use?
M: For starters, your experiences. Experiences form. the basis for conclusion. Then perhaps try to look at analogies to see all that can help you.
W: Are there any guidelines available on how I can use these experiences and analogies?
M: I did give a whole lecture on it dated February 7. You were there; weren’t you?
W: Whoops, that was one that fell on the week I couldn’t be there. I had to rush back home for personal reasons.
M: Well, perhaps on your next paper you’ll know that every argument you make needs legs or your paper will remain on the ground.
M: Thanks, Mrs. Morse. It’s all food for thought and you can bet the next one will have a solid base.
W: That’s the spirit.

W: Fine.
M: How do you feel about your work in your first full year in the company?
W: Well, the job is exactly as it was advertised in the paper, so there have been no surprises. I like dealing with customers and 1 don't mind answering the phones and preparing invoices. Sometimes it's a bit boring to type long price lists, but someone has to do it.
M: That's true. Does anything make your job difficult?
W: The computer. To begin with, I was slow because I didn't know the program, but now I get annoyed when the computer just stops working for no reason. I think the computers are too old for our software and we need some new machines.
M: Is there anything else you would like to change?
W: Let me see. I'd like the manager to issue credit notes without having to ask you first. You're often away on business and sometimes customers ring up with a complaint. And if we can't contact you, then we can't deal with the complaint properly.
M: Yes, but some of our customers always find something wrong and try to get a credit note with every order. You can't believe everything they say. What about your objectives for the future?
W: Well, I need to get to know the customers better and try to make fewer mistakes. But I think the most important thing is to broaden my product knowledge, so I can help when customers make enquiries.
M: Don't worry, you'll learn all that in time.
