举一反三
There is a problem each of us faces in following advice on emotional healing: apologizing is difficult. We are trapped in what we think of ourselves by holding onto our pride. We can be selfish and not willing to admit our most obvious mistakes. Pride eats away at us as we argue or ignore the mistake.
It"s happened to me. I have had too much pride and selfishness to apologize to a loved one I hurt. When I did want to apologize, I couldn"t bring myself to face the other person. This is the pride I"m talking about. Maybe apologies come difficult for men because they"re expected to be dominant. It"s like the joke that a man never asks for directions when lost. Ladies are more emotionally open than guys and are willing to express it. Still, both genders wonder how to correctly apologize.
In shifting the focus on apologizing away from you, what does not apologizing do to other people? They feel hurt that you are not willing to communicate your mistake. They lose trust in you as you hide behind your mistake avoiding reality. They become angry with you, wondering why you do not tell them the truth. They may begin to counter your lack of apologies by not apologizing themselves and from this the relationship goes downhill as the two of you get caught in a power struggle.
You need to communicate your mistakes. A mistake you made is like a scratch and by not apologizing you are making the scratch a deeper wound and rubbing salt into it. You need to stop hurting the other person and yourself by learning to apologize. There is real power in apologizing and emotional healing.
小题1:Why are men more unwilling to make apologies?| A．They don"t intend to hurt other people. | | B．They expect others to forgive them. | | C．They don"t want to be considered weak. | | D．They aren"t good at expressing themselves. |
小题2:What bad effect will there be if you refuse to apologize for your mistakes?| A．Other people won"t pay attention to you. | | B．You will lose confidence in yourself. | | C．You won"t be forgiven even if you tell the truth. | | D．The friendship will get hurt and go worse. |
小题3:From the last paragraph, it can be inferred that .| A．communication can stop you making mistakes | | B．mistakes would turn into deeper scratches | | C．apologizing is good for you and other people | | D．apologizing is the most powerful in emotional healing |

While reading a story on 20-somethings complaining about how the economy is ruining their life plans, I couldn"t help but think the 20-somethings sound like a bunch of spoiled children who grow up expecting everything to be easy for them. As a 20-something myself, I certainly share their disappointment –my husband and I probably won"t be able to buy a house until we"re in our forties, and we two are burdened by student loans. But why should it be different? Being young people in America, shouldn"t they take up all of the challenges and opportunities that this country offers?
Consider some of these views shared in the story: Jennifer, 29, owner of a two-bedroom apartment with her husband, worries that she won"t be able to have children for at least a decade because they can"t afford to buy a house yet.
I read that, and I thought what planet she is living on where you need to own a house in order to have kids? Has she ever visited a developing country, or even downtown areas in this one? Home ownership is a luxury, not a fertility requirement.
A 26-year-old man in the story is disappointed that he can"t afford to get a Ph. D. in literature. Well, that sounds a bit like expressing disappointment that no one will pay you to write poetry on the beach in Thailand for five years.
Yes, it"s sad that these young people feel so lost. But I think the problem is their extremely high expectations, not economic reality. Beth Kobliner, author of Get a Financial Life: Personal Finance in Your Twenties and Thirties, says that she thinks people"s expectations grow up when their wealth appears to be increasing. Their parents probably see their home values rise along with their investments. "So we have people who have grown up in an environment where people have great expectations of what living well means," says Kobliner.
This recession will certainly play a role in forcing those expectations into more realistic group. In the meantime, it seems much better for our mental health to focus on being grateful—for our one-bedroom apartments, for living in modern cities, or perhaps just for being able to eat three meals a day—than on longing for some kind of luxurious life.
小题1:What makes the author think the 20-somethings sound like a bunch of spoiled children?| A．They expect everything to be easy for them. | | B．They complain that the economy is ruining their life plans. | | C．They are unwilling to face all of the challenges. | | D．They are burdened by student loans. |
小题2:Which of the following is NOT one of the complaints of the 20-somethings?
A. They can"t have children for at least a decade for they can"t afford to buy a house.
B. They have only a one-bedroom apartment to live in.
C. They can"t buy a house until 40 and are burdened by student loans.
D. They despair of not being able to afford to get a Ph. D. in literature.
小题3:What"s Kobliner"s attitude towards the 20-somethings with high expectations ?| A．Unbearable. | B．Opposing. | C．Doubtful. | D．Understanding. |
小题4:What is the best title for this passage?| A．Young people afford to continue their education | | B．Young people can"t afford to buy a house | | C．Young people"s high expectations lead to despair | | D．The 20-somethings" high expectations |

Rented Boyfriends
Taobao. com, China"s largest online marketplace, is never short of bizarre offers.
And here is the latest one: boyfriends for rent.
A rented boyfriend can do the following: accompanying the girl to visit friends and families, go shopping, having meals and even getting a kiss out of courtesy. The charge is by the hour.
The services become hot with the approach of the Spring Festival, the most important festival for family reunions.
In China, parents especially worry about unmarried daughters.
Single women will have to face the same old question at the family dinner table: have you got a boyfriend?
And for those who haven"t found their Mr. Rights, renting a boyfriend emerges as a solution.
So, which men are willing to offer that service?
“I offer such a service only because I"m bored and know fewer female friends at work," said Ding Hui, 27, a salesman in the plastic industry in Shanghai, with a monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan.
He rented himself twice last year: during the Spring Festival and National Day. His customers were two 28-year-old women.
He charged 3,000 yuan each, and the customer had to cover his round-trip tickets, accommodations and bought him clothes to make him look smart.
More than 260 rent-a-boyfriend services can be found on the taobao.com, with the number climbing.
An anonymous female netizen, who claimed to have rented a boyfriend, said on the website, "My parents are very satisfied, so my pressure is greatly reduced."
Another comment read, "It"s good that I"ve achieved the wish of my parents."

小题2:How does a rented boyfriend get paid? (within 3 words)
小题3:What question may single women have to face at the family dinner table? (within 5 words)

On the night of November 14, 1978,a six-year-old Korean boy was flying to the United States. All he knew was that he was on a plane heading for somewhere. The plane landed at Kennedy International Airport, where he was greeted by a family. This young boy was me.
I have grown up in a town where there were few Asians, so I stuck out in the crowd. I made friends quickly and they treated me just like anyone else. You may ask if anyone made fun of my appearance. Well, of course, I met that" kind of person. I just shrugged it off.
As an adopted child, I have something that others don"t have. I have had the benefit of two families. I"m lucky to have got a chance to start a new life. But we must try never to forget our past. Someday I will go back to Korea to find out what kind of culture I left behind.
There is only one thing that I regret about being adopted. When I argue with my parents and they realize they are losing the argument, they sometimes wonder what I would be doing if I were back in Korea. I don"t understand this because I thought the purpose of adopting someone was to give them a better chance of growing up in a family. Some day when I am older, I want to adopt a girl and raise her the way my parents have raised me, but I would do it better, for I know what went well and what did not.
