“Sorry seems to be the hardest word” - that is one of Elton John’s most popular songs.

But not every public figure seems to find it so tough to say that powerful five- letter word.

In recent days public figures, from politicians to stars, have all publicly expressed remorse. But with so much remorse, how can we tell a forced apology from a heartfelt expression of remorse?

Specifically, saying sorry should be a realization that something you have said or done has hurt someone and you want to make amends ( 弥 补 ). “People want the response to be personal to them. They want to feel that they’re being listened to and taken seriously,” says Martin Stone.

Firstly, it is important to show that you understand. It is vital that any group or person making an apology understand the focus - is it sorry for the way it’s acted or is it sorry that the complainant feels the way they do?

Watch out for the speed of response. The quicker the apology comes, the better it indicates that the person making it has felt an immediate sense of guilt.

If sincere, the person making the apology will be looking for clues (线索) to see if he or she is being understood, such as eye contact and facial expressions. Performed apologies always have a sense of being “acted out”, and are often accompanied by too many unnatural gestures.

For a sincere apology, it is also important to avoid promises that can’t be kept. Don’t say that you’ll make sure that this will not happen again if you’re not confident that it won’t. It could come back to bite you. And do remember that the use of “but” can hugely change the tone ( 语 气 ) of an apology. As Stone points out, “I’m sorry but …” sounds like you are making excuses and aren’t actually taking any form of responsibility.

1.What is the purpose of the text?

A.To teach us how to tell if an apology is sincere.

B.To discuss how to give a formal apology.

C.To show why we should apologize in life.

D.To explain what a good apology is.

2.What does the underlined word “remorse” probably mean?

A.Pain B.Regret C.Worry D.Doubt

3.Which of the following indicates it’s a “performed” apology?

A.Promising it won’t happen again.

B.Paying attention to the listener’s reaction.

C.Showing you understand his/her feelings.

D.Avoiding eye contact with the listener.

4.What is mainly talked about in the last paragraph?

A.The attitude B.The tone of voice

C.The choice of language D.The body language

高一英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

The Atlantic Ocean is one of the oceans that separate the Old World from the New. For centuries it kept the America from being discovered by the people of Europe.

Many wrong ideas about the Atlantic made early sailors unwilling to sail far out into it. One idea was that it reached out to “the edge of the world” . Sailors were afraid that they might sail off the earth. Another idea was that at the equator(赤道) the ocean would be boiling hot.

The Atlantic Ocean is only half as big as the Pacific, but it is still very large. It is more than 4,000 miles (6,000 km) wide where Columbus crossed it. Even at its narrowest it is about 2,00 miles (3,200 km) wide.

Two things make the Atlantic Ocean rather unusual. For so large an ocean it has few islands. Also, it is the world’s saltiest ocean.

There is so much water in the Atlantic that it is hard to imagine how much there is. But suppose no more rain fell into it and no more water was brought to it by rivers, it would take the ocean about more than 4,000 years to dry up. On the average, the water is a little more than two miles (3.2km) deep, but in some places it is much deeper. The deepest spot is near Puerto Rico. This “deep” measures 30,246 feet---almost six miles (9.6km).

One of the longest mountain ranges of the world rises from the floor of the Atlantic. This mountain range runs north and south down the middle of the ocean. The tops of a few of the mountains reach up above the sea and make islands.

Several hundred miles eastward from Florida there is a part of the ocean called the Sargasso Sea. Here the water is quiet, for there is little wind. In the days of sailing vessels(船) the crew were afraid they would be becalmed (can’t move) here. Sometimes they were.

Today the Atlantic is a great highway. It is, however, not always a smooth and safe one. Storms sweep across it and pile up great waves. Icebergs float down from the far North across the paths of ships.

We now have such fast ways of traveling that this big ocean seems to have grown smaller. Columbus sailed for more than two months to cross it. A fast modern steamship can make the trip in less than four days. Airplanes fly from New York to London in only eight hours and from South America to Africa in four!

1.What caused people to be unwilling to explore the Atlantic?

A. There were no ships big enough to get across the Ocean.

B. Sailors were afraid of being lost in the Ocean.

C. The Atlantic Ocean was very unusual because it has few islands and the saltiest water.

D. Many incorrect ideas such as “the edge of the world”, “the equator with boiling hot water” made people think the Ocean was full of danger.

2.What is the main idea of the fifth paragraph?

A. How deep the water is.

B. How to measure the water in the Atlantic.

C. How much water the ocean holds.

D. How rain affects the Ocean water.

3.What does the underlined word “highway” mean?

A. High road      B. Broad way  C. Fast road   D. Main water way

4.Why does the writer think “this big ocean seems to have grown smaller”?

A. The water in the ocean is becoming less.

B. We have more and more advanced traveling tools now

C. The distance between the ocean and us is shorter.

D. The steamship has a higher speed.
