Question: Why is it so hard for some people to apologize after they’ve done something wrong? I have made every effort to persuade my uncle to be nice to people that he knows he’s hurt.   小题1:  How I wish things would be better if he’d just say he’s sorry and ask them to forgive him.
Answer:  _小题2:  It’s just easier for him to pretend nothing happened than to face the embarrassment (尴尬) of admitting he was wrong. You’ve probably done the same thing yourself at some time. In fact, most of us have. Furthermore, what if others won’t forgive him even if he apologizes?
 小题3:  Pride blinds us to our mistakes or faults. Or at least it makes us pay less attention to their seriousness.
Pride also makes us unwilling to admit to others that we were wrong. Perhaps we’re afraid they will look down on us if we admit it.   小题4: 
But others see through our pride. And things would be far better if we admitted our faults and asked for forgiveness.   小题5: 
Now you know why your uncle refuses to apologize, talk to him again. Help him to learn how to apologize and ask for forgiveness from others.

A．But a deeper reason is pride.

B．But he just refuses to do that.

C．We may even hope that somehow they will ignore it.

D．As a result, you would offend others and hurt their feelings.

E. There are a variety of reasons for your uncle’s refusal to apologize.
F. Otherwise our pride would only hurt us and cause conflict with others.
G. One reason your uncle finds it hard to apologize could be embarrassment.

Answer 1

小题1:B
小题2:G
小题3:A
小题4:C
小题5:F

试题分析：本文分析了作者的叔叔做错事后不愿意道歉的原因。
小题1:B上文提到I have made every effort to persuade my uncle to be nice to people that he knows he’s hurt.下文又说How I wish things…可知，叔叔并没有听作者的劝告去道歉。所以答案选B、但是他拒绝这样做。
小题2:G根据下文提到了…embarrassment of admitting…所以很容易选出答案为G、叔叔认为很难道歉的一个原因是怕尴尬。
小题3:A根据下文接着提到Pride…而且接上面提到了一个原因，所以答案选A、但是更进一步的原因是自尊心。
小题4:C根据上文说we’re afraid they will look down on us if we admit it.如果承认错误怕他们会鄙视我们。所以这时候就希望对方能自己忽视不理这种错误。答案选C。
小题5:F此段内容依然跟自尊心有关系。别人可能会看穿我们的自尊心，如果我们承认错误，得到对方原谅那会更好。否则，自尊心只会伤害我们，造成与他人的矛盾。因此答案选F。
