Have you ever noticed how hard it can be to find the right words? I have, frequently! And there are times 1. I am certain the right words do not even exist.

More than once I have been called to a hospital emergency room or to be with a family around the bed of a 2. (die) relative. And more than once I’ve been at a 3. (lose) for words.

4. wise doctor at a university teaching hospital once made a comment about comforting those who suffer. Someone asked the doctor 5. advice he offered his students, the future doctors, when caring for mothers who gave birth 6. lifeless babies. The doctor paused for a moment. Then he said, “I tell them they need two eyes. With one eye they have to check the drip. And with the 7. they have to weep. That’s what I tell them.”

That may be some of 8. (wise) advice I’ve heard. We may not always need to figure out what to say; we really only need two eyes. In Emily Dickinson’s words, “Saying nothing sometimes says the most.” It says I want to walk alongside them, difficult 9. it may be. My 10. (present) is something they can draw real strength and hope from.

Friends should always be honest with you, right? So when they lie, it can be really hard to take. You want to trust your friends and that means knowing that they’ll tell it to you straight no matter what it is. 1.Why does this happen?

2.

One of the biggest reasons friends lie is simply to avoid hurting your feelings. Some people don’t understand the difference between being gently honest with a friend and being so straightforward that they leave a verbal wound. They choose to avoid these two extremes in the form of a lie.

They feel embarrassed.

Sometimes friends will lie about things in their life because they are too embarrassed to admit the truth. Maybe they are going through a rough time and they just don’t want you to know about it. Avoid trying to badger ( 纠 缠 ) your friends into telling you what’s wrong.3.

Avoid an argument with you.

Perhaps your friends know that if they tell you the truth, you’ll get angry with them. Make sure that if a friend tells you something unpleasant, you don’t overact.4. If you do end up arguing, do　 it in a respectable way.

Exclude you.

Lying isn’t always a sign that friends are trying to protect you, however. 5. When you find out with certainty that your friend is lying to you, try and face it. If you feel your friend is lying because he or she doesn’t want to be around you, that’s your wake-up to move on.

A.Protect your feelings.

B.They want to be your closer friends.

C.But a friend who lies isn’t always trying to hurt you.

D.Consider what’s being said and why your friend is telling you this.

E.Being honest and making a sincere effort can keep the friendship strong.

F.Sometimes they lie because they don’t want you to be included in their plans.

G.Instead, make it clear that you are there for them when and if they are ready to talk.

How do apology languages work? Have you ever tried to apologize, only to be refused? It may be that you were offering a partial apology in a “language” , that was foreign to your listener．The five languages of apology include:

Apology Language 1: “I am sorry.”

List the hurtful effects of your action．Not “I am sorry if …”, but “I am sorry that…”．You might ask if they want to add any points that you have not recognized.

Apology Language 2:“I was wrong.”

Name your mistake and accept fault．Note that it is easier to say “You are right” than “ I am wrong”, but the latter carries more weight.

Apology Language 3: “ What can I do to make it right?”

How are you now? How shall I make amends(弥补) to you? How can I restore your confidence that I love you— even though I was so hurtful to you?

Apology Language 4: “I’ll try not to do that again.”

Engage in problem-solving．Don’t make excuses for yourself such as, “Well, my day was just so…” Instead, offer what you will change to prevent yourself from putting them in the same bad situation again．

Apology Language 5: “Will you please forgive me?”

Be patient in seeking forgiveness．They may need some time or greater clarification of your input from Apology Languages 1-4.

Finally, your apology may not be accepted, but at least you know that you have been faithful in offering a sincere olive branch of peace.

1.The passage mainly talks about___________

A．5 tips for apologies that work            B．5 ways of refusing apologies

A．“You are right”                      B．“I am sorry if …”

C.“I was wrong.”                    D．“Well, my day was just so…”

4.In the last paragraph, the author tells us even if your apology may not be accepted, at

least ___________.
