    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

    小题1:C
    小题2:D
    小题3:C 

    试题分析：文章大意：向别人道歉是很困难的。作者以自身亲身经历说明了道歉的困难性，并说明了怎么道歉。
    小题1:C细节理解题。根据文章第一段：We can be selfish and not willing to admit our most obvious mistakes.可知答案。故C正确。
    小题2:D细节理解题。由第三段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.可以得出答案。故D正确。
    小题3:C推理判断题。根据本段的意思，特别是文章的第一句：There is real power in apologizing and emotional healing.可知道歉对自己和他人都有好处。故C正确。

    When I was about 10, I was walking down the street with my mother. She stopped to speak to Mr. Lee. I knew I could see Mr. Lee anytime around the neighborhood, so I just stood there. After we passed him, my mother stopped and said something unforgettable, "You let that be the last time you ever walk by somebody you know without opening your mouth to speak, because even a dog can wag its tail when it passes you on the street. "That sentence sounds simple but it made me become who I am.
    At work, I used to say hello to the president of the company and ask him how our business was doing. But I also spoke to the people in the cafe and people who cleaned the buildings, and asked them how their children were doing, for every single person deserves to be accepted, no matter how humble(低微的)they are. I remember that after a few years of passing by the president, I had the courage to ask him for a chat. We had a great talk. At some point, when I asked him how far he thought I could go in his company, he said that if I wanted to, I could get all the way to his seat.
    I've become vice-president, but that hasn't changed how I treat people. I speak to people wherever I am. Speaking to people creates a pathway into their world, and it lets them come into mine, too.

    One of my fondest memories as a child is going by the river and sitting idly on the bank. There I would enjoy the peace and quiet, watch the water rush downstream and listen to the singing of birds and the rustling of leaves in the trees. I would also watch the bamboo trees bend under pressure from the wind and watch them return gracefully to their original position after the wind had died down.
    When I think    about the  bamboo trees’ ability to bounce back  or return  to its original position, the word “resilience” comes to my mind. When used in reference to a person, this word means the ability to readily recover from shock, depression or any other negative situation that stretches the limits of a person’s emotions.
    Have you ever felt like you are about to lose control of your emotions? Have you ever felt like you are at your breaking point? Thankfully, you have survived the experience to live to talk about it.
    During the  experience you probably    felt a  mix of emotions    that threatened your health.You felt emotionally
    tired, mentally exhausted and   you most likely bored unpleasant physical symptoms.
    Life is a mixture of good times and bad times, happy moments and unhappy moments. The next time you are experiencing one of those bad times or unhappy moments that take you close to your breaking point, bend, but don’t break. Try your best not to let the situation get the best of you.
    A measure of hope will take you through the unpleasant moments. Will hope for a better tomorrow or a better situation, things may not be as bad as they seem to be. The unpleasant moment may be easier to deal with if the end result is worth having.
    If the situation gets tough and    you    are at your breaking point, show resilience. Like the bamboo trees, bend, but don’t break!
    小题1:What does the underlined word “resilience” mean in Paragraph 2?
    A．The ability to overcome any difficulty.
    B．The quality of hoping for a better tomorrow.
    C．The quality of being brave at the breaking point.
    D．The ability to recover easily and quickly from unpleasant or damaging events.
    小题2:Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
    A．Life is like a bamboo tree that never breaks.
    B．Whatever difficulties we may meet with in our life, we can bend, but can never break.
    C．Life is a mixture of good times and bad times, happy moments and unhappy moments.
    D．If you get over your breaking point, you can survive to live longer and more happily than others.
    小题3:According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
    A．The author was an idle child when he was living near the river.
    B．We should try our best not to let our bad times get the best of us.
    C．Our being likely to lose control of our emotions is common in our life.
    D．We should always believe things may not be as bad as they seem to be.
    小题4:Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?
    A．Bend, but don’t break.B． My wonderful childhood.
    C．The bamboo trees.D． Love the bamboo trees and your life.

    Mark Twain said that “habit is habit, and not to be flung(扔) out the window by anyone, but coaxed (劝诱)downstairs a step at a time.” The chances of successfully changing negative behavior        when you make gradual changes that give you time to        negative patterns for positive ones.
    On any given day, countless numbers of us get out of bed and        to begin to change a given behavior “today.” Whether it be exercising more, drinking less, managing time        or some other change in a negative behavior, we start out with high       . In a short time, however, a vast majority of people fail and are soon doing        it was they thought they shouldn't be doing.
    After considerable research, some researchers believe that behavior changes usually do not        if they start with the change itself.       , they believe that we must        a series of “stages” to adequately prepare ourselves for that        change. Once you have analyzed all the factors that        what you do, you must decide which behavior-change technique will work best for you.
    According to the psychologist Albert Ellis, most        problems and related behaviors arise from irrational (不理性的) statements that people make to        when events in their lives are different from what they would like them to be. For example, suppose alter doing        on an exam, you say to yourself, “I can't believe I failed that easy exam, I’m so stupid.” By changing this irrational “catastrophic” self-talk into rational,        statements about what is really going on, you can increase the        that positive behaviors will occur.
    Positive self-talk might be        as follows: “I really didn’t study enough for the exam. I just need to prepare for the next       .”
    Such self-talk will help you to recover quickly from        and take positive steps to correct the situation. Some other technique like purposefully        or stopping negative thoughts and refusing to dwell on(沉湎于) negative images can also spare you wasted energy, time and emotional resources and move on to positive changes.

    Have you ever heard the saying “If you want a friend, be one”?
    Here is how a new teacher made friends with the girls and boys in her class on the first day of school. As the bell rang, the teacher smiled at each girl and boy.

    I moved from Chicago to Brooklyn in July of 2010，just in time to watch my mother die. Our parents were both gone now； I took with me as many things they had left behind as I could.
    I was out walking one Saturday later that summer when something caught my eye - a pale green dress. Laid out on the pavement was stuff like earrings, glass candle-holders, books. Hanging on the fence behind were a few pairs of jeans and a green cotton dress.
    The woman, the host o£ the stoop (门廊）sale, looked like she was getting rid of a past she didn’t need or want. A dress that was too big for her. A chest of drawers that took up too much space, space she needed, maybe, to heal ，recover, or grow.
    I wasn’t planning on buying anything really, but now I needed to show her that I appreciated her things and I would give them a safe home. Then I had my first stoop sale —I paid her 20 dollars for her green cotton dress and her blue candle-holder,
    From that day on, I became interested in stoop sales. Some of my favorite things are from someone else’s life. I find no joy in shopping at regular stores any more. I love trying to sniff out a memory from a bud vase or a drawer. It is comforting to know that someone has breathed and laughed inside a sweater before me.
    A few weeks ago, I carried my mother’s dresses to a friend’s stoop. These were her best items ，which were once worn by the most important person in my life. For many hours, I watched from across the path people advancing the stoop, some leaving with Mom1S dress. I used to think that her stuff was as forever sacred (神圣的）as my memory of her, I know now that once I love a scarf or shirt too dearly，it needs to find a new home. Even that green dress is long gone by now.
    小题1:The author took her mother*s dresses after her death because ______
    A．she valued the things used by her mom
    B．she didn’t want to throw them, away
    C． she could sell them later
    D． they were her mom’s best items
    小题2:From the passage, we know that ______.
    A． the things the author bought from the woman are too big
    B． the author is fond of imagining others’ life experiences
    C． the author will never shop at regular stores any more
    D． the author still keeps most of her mom’s things
    小题3:In the last paragraph ，the author tries to tell us that ______.
    A her mom is the number one person in her life
    B.  she didn’t really want to sell her mom’s dresses
    C. she still thinks of her mother quite often
    D. love doesn’t mean holding on to something tightly
    小题4:It can be inferred that the author will ______.
    A． not sell her own things at stoop sales
    B．keep her mom in her mind in another way
    C． be sad about all the memory of her mom
    D． move to another city for a new life
