But how you say it can be quite tricky. If you say to your children “I’m sorry I got angry with you, but …” , what follows that “but” can render（使变为） 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（侮辱人的）, 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（虚伪的）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（采纳） to these pseudo-apologies. But even when presented with examples of genuine contrition, 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. 56. 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 57. According to the author, saying “I’m sorry you’re upset” most probably means “_______”. A. You have good reason to get upset B. I’m aware you’re upset, but I’m not to blame C. I apologize for hurting your feelings D. I’m at fault for making you upset 58. It is not advisable to use the general, all-covering apology because _______. A. it gets one into the habit of making empty promises B. it may make the other person feel guilty C. it is vague and ineffective D. it is hurtful and insulting 59. We learn from the last paragraph that in teaching children to say sorry _______. A） the complexities involved should be ignored B） their ages should be taken into account C） parents need to set them a good example D） parents should be patient and tolerant B Los Angeles：Love for Mom is a given，but buying flowers on her big day may not be. A slump in flower sales since late last year was likely to continue through Mother’s Day，another example of Americans cutting back on spending due to recession fears，which is a period of reduced trade and business activity，and increasing food and gasoline prices. “If you look at what has happened on Valentine’s Day and Christmas, the market for flowers has cooled,” said Erie Beder an analyst at Brean Murray. “Growth has slowed in the past two quarters. Mother's Day will probably be a slow quarter，too. ’’ US floral sales for Mother’s Day, celebrated yesterday will fall thirteen percent this year to $2 billion，with consumers spending an average of $17. 65. according to the National Retail Federation estimates. Mother's Day，which accounts for a one—quarter of annual holiday purchases，according to the Society of American Florists，is traditionally the day when floral bouquets （花束）are delivered to the doorsteps of many mothers. But this year，the shop-owners are concerned. Gabriel Soto，who owns a flower shop beneath an office high-rise in the Los Angeles financial district, is expecting lower sales--and has ordered 30 percent fewer flowers than normal this Mother's Day. Last month, Solo, who also operates website downtown-flowers, net, closed another store in a nearby building that was headquarters to a mortgage company. After workers lost their jobs due to the housing crisis, orders decreased. 60. The underlined word "slump" in Para. 2 probably means . A. sharp increase in price B. great fear for losing jobs C. global worry of floral stores D. sudden fall by a large amount 61. According to the author, Mother's Day should be an occasion of . A. a large family get-together B. a big annual holiday purchase C. a great love showed to mothers D. a celebration among Americans 62. This passage implies that Americans have . A. met financial problems recently B. no longer bought flowers for mothers C. delivered flowers to every house for mothers D. cut back on spending because of having lost jobs 63. Which would be the best title for this passage? A. Hard time coming nearer B. Mother's Day and crisis C. Sorry mom, love you but no flowers D. Holiday purchases have a hard time C Western New Bridge Library Announcement 2009-3-10 Shortened Library Hours for Spring Break Library Hours have been shortened to 7 hours a day （ 9:00 a. m —4:00 p. m） for Spring Break from March 24 to March 30.
