“Sorry” is a word that people in Britain often say in their daily life.
One day while I was w 1. on the street, a young man ran by hurriedly, brushing(轻擦) against my handbag. He continued his way, but turned b 2. and said “sorry” to me. Even in a rush, he didn’t f 3. to say “sorry”. One day, after I bought some bananas, the shopkeeper was passing me the change, but I wasn’t ready for it and a coin dropped onto the ground. “Sorry, Madam,” he said w 4. bending to pick it up. I was s 5. why he said “sorry” to me. Another time, I stepped on a man’s f 6. at the entrance to a cinema. At the same time, we b 7. said “sorry”.
Slowly, I got to know that when something unpleasant happens in daily life, the British don’t c 8. much about who is wrong. If someone is in trouble, a “sorry” is always n 9. . Perhaps that is w 10. I seldom see people quarrel on the buses or streets in Britain.

Confidence(自信) is very important in daily life. It can help you to develop a healthy attitude (态度). A study shows that the people who are more confident are much happier. They can have more chance to make themselves successful. The following is about how to be more confident.
Speak loud When you are not confident, you can't do well what you want to do. You speak in a voice so low that other people can hardly hear you. Try to speak loud enough so that people can hear you clearly. The high voice can help you become more confident.
Play sports Physical exercise makes you tired but completely relaxed. A strong body helps you be full of confidence.
Encourage yourself Write down a list of things you did during the day to see how many things you have done well. Did you finish your homework? Did you tell a joke that made everybody laugh? Give yourself praise for the good things you've done.
Pick up a hobby If you like singing, sing as much as you can. In some ways, a hobby can make you outstanding. And it will make you happy and confident.
Get rid of (消除) fear Fear comes along with failure (失败). But it's easy to overcome (克服) if you know that failure is part of your life. Don't hide your head just because you said something stupid last time. Try to start again and believe you can do better.

A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office，a street urchin(顽童) was walking around the shining car.“Is this your car，Paul?”he asked. Paul answered，“Yes，my brother gave it to me for Christmas.”The boy was surprised(惊奇).“You mean your brother gave it to you and it did not cost you anything? Boy，I wish…”He hesitated(犹豫).
Of course， Paul knew what he was going to wish for(希望).He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.
“I wish,”the boy went on，“that I could be a brother like that.”Paul looked at the boy in surprise, then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car?” “Oh yes，I’d love that.”
After a short ride，the boy turned and with his eyes shining，said，“Paul，would you mind (介意)driving in front of my house?”
Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbours that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are? the boy asked.
He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled(残疾的) brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.
“There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent(美分). And some day I’m going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I’ve been trying to tell you about.”
Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began an unforgettable(难忘的) holiday ride.
