No fight can end, and no friendship can move on, until everyone says these little words - "I"m sorry".
Sometimes, though, they can be difficult to say. 1
It is not about winning.
Friendships aren"t like the Super Bowl, and there should never be a winner and a loser. When you start
fighting with a friend, it may feel important that you win: the fight by proving you"re right and he is wrong,
or by making him be the first to apologize.
In reality, you"ll both lose if you let your fight ruin your friendship, and you"ll both win if you find a way
to heal it.
2
You may have heard the expression -"His pride stood in the way". It is usually used to describe a
person who is so determined to be "right" that he lets an opportunity for happiness pass him by forever.
3 Remember: as time goes on, we usually forget who was right and who was wrong in a disagreement, and only remember the sadness of losing a friend.
Take the first step.
Are you sick of fighting? Do you think this fight is just not important enough to ruin your friendship?
4 You don"t have to take full responsibility for starting the fight, or even say that your feelings were
wrong. But you should find something you did or said that"s worth apologizing for. Maybe you"re sorry
that you let the fight go for so long, or that you overreacted to something your friend did. If you say
you"re sorry, it"s like an invitation for your friend to do the same. 5 |
1. Then try to be the first to apologize.
2. Stop thinking about your pride.
3. It"s about taking some responsibility for the fight.
4. Don"t let this happen to a friendship you care about.
5. There are some special cases where you shouldn"t be the one to apologize first.
6. Once you"ve both said it, you"ll both feel a million times better. |

It"s interesting that technology often works as a servant for us, yet frequently we become a servant to
it. E-mail is a useful tool but many feel controlled by this new tool. The average business person is getting
about 80 e-mails per day and many feel that about 80% of the messages in their "Inbox" are of little or no
value.
So, I have four suggestions to help you to become better at "Erasing E-mail".
Get off the lists. The best way to deal with a problem is to never have it. If you are receiving a lot of
unwanted e-mails, ask to be removed from the various lists. This would include your inclusion in
unwanted lists.
"Unlisted address". Just as you keep an "unlisted" telephone number that you share only with those
whom you want to have direct access to, you might want to get a separate e-mail address only for the
important communications you wish to receive.
Check it once or twice per day. Many I speak with are becoming chained to their email server,
monitoring incoming email continuously. Maybe this is because e-mail creates its own sense of urgency,
but most of the communications are not all that urgent. I respond to them a couple of times per day.
Deal with it. As you open each e-mail, do one of the following:
a. If it requires a quick response, respond to it and delete it.
b. If it requires a response but is not the best use of your time, try to find someone else to do it.
c. If it is going to take any serious amount of time to respond, schedule it for action in your Day
Planner and then download the message, save it, or print it out for future action.
I personally receive about 250 e-mails per day and by practicing the suggestions above, I can handle
that volume in about an hour, taking advantage of this fantastic tool but not being controlled by it to make
sure I"m doing more important tasks in my day. |
| 1. If you get unwanted e-mails, the best you can do is to ________. |
A. make a list of them
B. put them into unwanted lists
C. send them to a special address
D. ask to be deleted from different lists |
| 2. For the important communications, the writer suggests that you ______. |
A. have a direct access for them
B. have several e-mail servers for them
C. get a separate e-mail address for them
D. get an unlisted phone number for them |
| 3. To avoid being chained by the coming e-mails, what you can do is to ________. |
A. respond urgent ones only
B. reply to all of them at the same time
C. handle them a couple of times daily
D. keep replying to e-mails all day long |
| 4. To deal with an e-mail you get, you can do the following EXCEPT _______. |
A. responding right away if it"s urgent
B. downloading every e-mail before you reply
C. scheduling it for later reply if it takes much time
D. asking someone else to reply to it if it"s not at your convenience |

More surprising, perhaps, than the current difficulties of traditional marriage is the fact that marriage
itself is alive and thriving (兴盛). As Skolnick notes, Americans are marrying people-relative to
Europeans, more of us marry and we marry at a younger age. Moreover, after a decline in the early
1970s, the rate of marriage in the United States is now increasing. Even the divorce rate needs to be
taken in this pro-marriage context: some 80 percent of divorced individuals remarry. Thus, marriage
remains, by far, the preferred way of life for the vast majority of people in our society.
What has changed more than marriage is the nuclear family. Twenty-five years ago, the typical
American family consisted of a husband, a wife and two or three children. Now, there are many
marriages in which couples have decided not to have any children. And there are many marriages where
at least some of the children are from the wife"s previous marriage, or the husband"s, or both. Sometimes
these children spend all of their time with one parent from the former marriage; sometimes they are shared between the two former spouses.
Thus, one can find the very type of family arrangement. There are marriages without children; marriages with children from only the present marriage; marriages with "full time" children from the present marriage
and "part-time" children from former marriages. There are stepfathers, stepmothers, half-brothers, and
half-sisters. It is not all the unusual for a child to have four parents and eight grandparents! There are
enormous changes from the traditional nuclear family. But even so, even in the midst of all this, one thing
remains constant: most Americans spend most of their adult lives married. |
| 1. By calling Americans marrying people the author means that ______. |
A. more of Americans, as compared with Europeans, prefer marriage and they accept it at a younger age
B. Americans expect more out of marriage than Europeans
C. there are more married couples in USA than in Europe
D. Americans are more traditional than Europeans |
| 2. Which of the following can be presented as the picture of today"s American families? |
A. A typical American family consists of only a husband and a wife.
B. Many types of family arrangements have become socially acceptable.
C. Americans prefer to have more kids than before.
D. There are no nuclear families any more. |
| 3. Even though great changes have taken place in the structure of American families ______. |
A. the functions of marriage remain unchanged
B. most Americans prefer a second marriage
C. the vast majority of Americans still have faith in marriage
D. marriage is still enjoyed by all Americans |

The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we"ve never
been before.
But just as in face to face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed
when on line. 1 Imagine how you"d feel if you were in the other person"s shoes.
For anything you"re about to send, ask yourself, "Would I say this to the person"s face?" If the answer
is no, rewrite and reread. 2
If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能) is to fire back in the same manner.
But try not to do so. 3 If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.
4 Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to
communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether it"s a stupid question or an unnecessarily long
answer, be kind about it. If it"s a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel
strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesn"t give you
license to correct everyone else. 5 At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct
yourself and apologize to those that you have offended.
It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as age, sex, and marital status. Unless you know
the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don"t ask such
questions. |
A. Everyone was new to the network once.
B. If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely.
C. It"s natural that there are some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online.
D. The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated.
E. You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages.
F. When you send short messages to a person online, you must say something beautiful to hear.
G. Repeat the process till you feel sure that you"d feel comfortable saying words to a person"s face. |

The person behind you constantly kicks the back of your seat. Your talkative seatmate doesn"t
understand your need for sleep. And the aircraft"s bathroom is a total mess. These situations can make
even a short flight unbearable .Hopefully you don"t cause these unpleasant experiences for others. 1
Always recline(向后倾斜) your seat slowly. There"s nothing worse than suddenly being hit in the
knees by the seat in front of you. In addition, don"t keep your seat reclined for the entire flight. Always
keep it upright during mealtimes. And remember to put it in the upright position before going to the
restroom (or anytime you leave your seat.)
2 Wait until the meal is done and all the food trays (盘子)have been collected .It"s hard for
passengers to stand up to let you pass when they still have their food trays. And when using the
bathroom .always clean up after yourself -the next user will be grateful !
Keep your body-and your possessions-to yourself as much as possible so as not to crowd your
in-flight seatmate(s) .Share the armrest , especially on a long flight .Also, be careful not to kick or push
on the seat in front of you.
While some people enjoy chatting with other passengers during a flight, not everyone does. Some
people may want to nap ,read or work. 3
If you are traveling with someone and want to chat, keep your voices low. 4 People can still hear
through your headphones if the volume is too high.
When exiting the plane, if others are having trouble with their carry-on luggage .help them if you can.
If you can"t help ,wait patiently, and don"t push past people to get off the airplane.On your flight ,
remember the golden rule: 5 |
A. Don"t leave your carry-on in the aircraft.
B. If the conversation seems one-sided , you should notice it.
C. Treat others the way you want to be treated!
D. Avoid going to the bathroom during mealtimes.
E. Instead ,you can set an example by following these common airplane courtesies (礼貌).
F. It is not polite to talk loudly in the aircraft.
G. If using electronic gadgets (小装置), keep the volume down. |
