A true apology is more than just acknowledgement of a mistake. It’s recognition that something you’ve said or done has damaged a relationship—and that you care enough about that relationship to want it __46__ .
It’s never __47__ to acknowledge you are in the wrong. Being human, we all need the art of apology. Look back and think how __48__ you’ve judged roughly, said __49__ things, pushed yurself ahead at the expense of a friend. Some deep thought lets us know that when __50__ a small mistake has been made, your __51__ will stay out of balance until the mistake is acknowledged and your regret is __52__.
I remember a doctor friend, telling me about a man who came to him with __53__ illnesses: headache, insomnia, stomachaches and so on. No physical __54__ could be found. Finally the doctor said to the man, “__55__ you tell me what’s on your conscience, I can’t help you.”
After a short silence, the man told the doctor that he __56__ all the money that his father gave to his brother, who was __57__. His father had died, so only he himself knew the matter. The doctor made the man write to his brother making an __58__ and enclosing a __59__. In the post office, the man dropped the letter into the mail box. As the letter disappeared, the man burst into tears. “Thank you, doctor,” he said, “I think I’m all right now.” And he __60__.

This Mother’s Day will be the 8th year I have spent without my own mother. She passed away less than a month before Mother’s Day in the year 2000. She had been ill for almost two years, and I didn’t cry when she died, or at her funeral, but on that first Mother’s Day without her. On that day, I realized that this person I loved and depended on was gone forever.
She still lives in family memories, in the thoughts of her friends and co-workers, in the values she had instilled(灌輸) in her children, and in the lovely flower gardens that she had so carefully tended.
She loved her gladioli and irises. Each fall she would dig the bulbs out of the soil and carefully wrap them in paper. The bulbs would be stored until the following spring when they would be replanted. It seemed like a lot of effort to me, but each year her flower garden was more glorious than the year before. She put the same hard work into caring for her family, instilling in her children a sense of justice and fair play, compassion, and strong moral values so that we blossomed.
Share anecdotes about your mother’s life at your Mother’s Day party. Too often, we avoid speaking of those loved ones who have passed away, fearful that we will unearth sad feelings. It doesn’t have to be that way. Sharing fond memories and stories of the life we shared with her can be a healing process that binds(捆綁)the family together.
My mother passed away when her oldest grandchild was only eight years old. Children will enjoy sharing pictures and stories of the grandmother they may have never known or have little memory of. Sharing anecdotes to pass on to the next generation will give children a feeling of family history and continuity, and may be one of the best ways to honor our mothers and grandmothers who have gone before us.
小題1:What does the underlined words “passed away” ( in Paragraph 1)mean?
A.diedB.continuedC.startedD.lasted
小題2:On the first Mother’s Day after mum died the author realized_______ .
A.mum had been dead for a long time B.mum had suffered a lot from the illness
C.it was true that mum had been dead D.it was impossible to depend on mum
小題3:From the third paragraph we can infer that mum_______ .
A.loved her gladioli and irisesB.showed kindness to all her children
C.taught the children to plant patientlyD.had a good influence on the author
小題4:At the Mother’s Day party people don’t mention their lost mums only because_______ .
A.they are simply afraid of causing sad feelings
B.they have forgotten their mums completely
C.they don’t love their mums any longer
D.they think their mums have passed away
小題5:In order to show honor to our mothers and grandmothers we can _____ .
A.spend the Mother’s Day with our children
B.share the stories of them with the children
C.hold the Mother’s Day party every year
D.plant beautiful flowers in the family garden

Question: I have a one-year-old female bulldog, who has recently taken to biting my shoes when we are in the park and I’m on the mobile. She can be slightly aggressive and I’m starting to get worried and a bit annoyed. How do I stop her? ----Susan, London.
Answer: You need to get this problem under control before it could escalate (惡化). I always advise owners not to talk on the mobile phone when they go for a walk with their dogs, because they should be focusing on this time with their pets, but I know people have busy lives and need to make phone calls.
The behavior she is showing is either controlling or playfulness, but they both result from the same issue ---- you are not paying attention to her. If you must make phone calls while on a walk, try to still engage with your dog by speaking towards her, playing some sorts of game and so on. If that doesn’t work, you’ll have to try more of a training approach.
You will need a training line and some treats. Start your walk in the usual way, make a phone call, and when your dog starts displaying the undesired behavior, simply stop walking --- otherwise she will see it as a game. When she is calm and looking at you, or if she sits, give her a treat; then continue walking. If she starts up again, pick up the lead, gently pull it, and tell her “no”.  Then ask her to sit and give her a treat if she does.
The aim of this is to try to get her to forget how much fun it is biting your shoes. Do little sessions every day --- and try not to answer the phone if you know it’s going to be a long conversation. Be patient and good luck!
Remember that if an animal shows signs of distress or discomfort, an early visit to the vet is always recommended.
小題1:What is Susan complaining about in her question?
A.She doesn’t know how to make phone calls while walking a dog.
B.She has no idea how to get along well with her dog.
C.She gets worried that her dog is getting annoyed.
D.She finds her dog is getting a little aggressive.
小題2:The probable reason why the pet dog bites its owner’s shoes is that ______.
A.the owner isn’t paying attention to her
B.the owner often makes trouble for the dog
C.the owner plays some dull games with her
D.the owner doesn’t like the pet dog any more
小題3:The solution to dealing with the distress or discomfort of pets is to _____.
A.talk with them regularly
B.take them to see the vet
C.play games with them
D.let them bite your shoes
小題4:How can Susan get her pet dog to forget the fun from biting her shoes?
A.By playing some sort of game with the pet dog.
B.By punishing the pet dog strictly.
C.By training her not to do so.
D.By leaving her at home.

How do successful people think? What drives them? Interviews and investigations show that there are several keys to success that successful people share.
First of all, successful people never blame someone or something outside of themselves for their failure to go ahead. They realize that their future lies in their own hands. They understand that they cannot control things in life, such as nature, the past and other people. But in the meantime, they are well aware that they can control their own thoughts and actions. They take responsibility for their life and regard this as one of the most empowering (給人以權力的)things they can do .Perhaps what most separates successful people from others is that they live life “on purpose”---they are doing what they believe they are put here to do .In their opinion, having a purpose in their life is the most important fact that enables them to become fully functioning people. They hold that when they live their life on purpose ,their main concern is to do the job right .They love what they do ---and it shows people want to do business with them because of their devotion to their jobs.
To live their life on purpose, successful people find a cause they believe in and create a business around it. Besides, they never easily give up. Once they have set up goals in their life, they are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. Top achievers always keep in mind that they don’t have forever. Rather than seeing it negative or depressing, they use the knowledge to encourage themselves to move on and go after what they want energetically and passionately.
小題1:Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A.How do people live their life on purpose?B.How can people be successful?
C.How do people make plans?D.How do people do business?
小題2:By living life “on purpose ”successful people can ________
A.do a lot of work without using more money.B.concentrate on their jobs
C.do business with many people easily.D.share what they have with every one unselfishly.
小題3:The pronoun “it” (Line 10.Para.2) refers to _____
A.the main concern of successful people
B.the job that successful people do
C.the devotion with which successful people do their job
D.the business that successful people do with other people.

We have all experienced days when everything goes wrong. A day may begin well enough, but suddenly everything seems to get out of control. Sometimes a single unimportant event may cause a number of things to happen. Let us suppose that you are preparing a meal and keeping an eye on the baby at the same time. The telephone rings and this causes your troubles to begin. While you are on the phone, the baby pulls the tablecloth off the table, destroying your half-prepared meal. You hang up hurriedly and attend to your baby. Meanwhile, the meal gets burnt. As if this is not enough to bring you to tears, your husband arrives home, unexpectedly bringing three guests to dinner.
Things can also go wrong on the road. During rush hour one evening two cars collided and the drivers began to argue. The woman driver behind the two cars happened to be a learner. She got into a panic and stopped her car. This forced the driver following her to stop suddenly. This driver’s wife was sitting beside him holding a large cake, and as she was thrown forward, the cake went right through the window and landed on the road. A truck driver seeing a cake flying through the air slammed on the brakes. The truck was carrying empty beer bottles and hundreds of them slid off the back of the truck onto the road, causing a terrible traffic jam. It took the police an hour to get the traffic on the move again. In the meantime, the truck driver had to sweep up hundreds of broken bottles. Only two dogs were enjoying themselves, for they were happily having what was left of the cake.
小題1:If you want to answer the phone without any trouble, you’d better ___________ .
A.pull out the telephone line when you are with your baby
B.put your baby on the bed and keep an eye on him / her
C.not hurry to answer the phone
D.make sure your baby is not near the table
小題2:Who is responsible for the accidents that happened on the road?  
A.The two drivers who were arguing.
B.It wasn’t mentioned in the passage.
C.The woman driver.
