Apologizing the Right Way to a Friend

Why are apologies so difficult? Saying you are sorry can be one of the most difficult things you do. But we all make mistakes, so you'll probably have an occasion when you need to apologize.

Perhaps you had a big blow up and realized later you reacted poorly. 1.Whatever the reason, apologizing can help you both heal and move on from the situation.

2.First, you acknowledge that you did something wrong. With an apology, you take responsibility for your actions, which allows your friend to forgive you. Second, an apology gives you sincerity as a friend. 3., but that doesn’t mean you still shouldn’t apologize.

Now, what are elements of a proper apology? 4. ,depending on what the offense was, where it was done, and who you are apologizing to.  In general, a good apology should include the following: a request for their attention, an acknowledgment of what happened, sincerity in admitting you did something wrong and the words. "I'm sorry" or “I apologize."

Here are things never to say when apologizing. Note that the art of apologizing involves taking responsibility. Never apologize as a way to “shut someone up” when they are saying you hurt their feelings and you don’t think you did. 5.,you should talk things through with your friend until you see why they are hurt or how you came across. You'll really need to self-reflect so you can see things from your friend’s point of view.

A.When you make your apology in person

B.If you really believe you did nothing wrong

C.Apologies benefit friendships in a variety of ways

D.The way you apologize is going to be slightly different

E.Or maybe you just didn’t show support when you needed to

F.Apologizing the right way, however, may take a little practice

G.Sometimes our pals forgive us easily for the minor things we do wrong

    Over the years, cheerleading has taken two primary forms: game-time cheerleading and competitive cheerleading. Game-time cheerleaders’ main goal is to entertain the crowd and lead them with team cheers, which should not be considered a sport. However, competitive  cheerleading is more than a form of entertainment. It is really a competitive sport.

Competitive cheerleading includes lots of physical activity. The majority of the teams require a certain level of tumbling (翻腾运动) ability. It’s a very common thing for gymnasts, so it’ s easy for them to go into competitive cheerleading. Usually these cheerleaders integrate lots of their gymnastics experience including their jumps, tumbling, and overall energy. They also perform lifts and throws. This is where the “fliers” are thrown in the air, held by “bases” in different positions that require strength and working with other teammates.

Competitive cheerleading is also an activity that is governed by rules under which a winner can be declared. It is awarded points for technique, creativity and sharpness. Usually the more difficult the action is, the better the score is. That’s why cheerleaders are trying to experience great difficulty in their performance.

Besides, there is also a strict rule of time. The whole performance has to be completed in less than three minutes and fifteen seconds, during which the cheerleaders are required to stay within a certain area. Any performance beyond the limit of time is invalid.

Another reason for the fact that competitive cheerleading is one of the hardest sports is that it has more reported injuries. According to some research, competitive cheerleading is the number one cause of serious sports injuries to women. Emergency room visits for it are five times the number than for any other sport, partially because cheerleaders don’t use protective equipment. Smiling cheerleaders are thrown into the air and move down into the arms of the teammates, which may easily cause injuries. Generally, these injuries affect all areas of the body, including wrists, shoulders, ankles, head, and neck.

There can be no doubt that competitive cheerleading is a sport with professional skills. Hopefully, it will appear in the Olympics since cheerleaders are just as athletic and physically fit  as those involved in the more accepted sports. It should be noted that it is a team sport and even  the smallest mistake made by one teammate can bring the score of the entire team down. So without working together to achieve the goal, first place is out of reach.

1.What is the main purpose of competitive cheerleading?

A. To compare skills of participants.

B. To make the audience feel amused.

C. To attract more people to watch events.

D. To cheer up the competitors on the court.

2.The underlined word “integrate” in Paragraph 2 probably means “______”.

A. examine B. identify

C. combine D. replace

3.We can learn from the passage that competitive cheerleading ______.

A. lacks necessary guidelines to follow

B. enjoys greater popularity than other sports

C. requires more designed actions than gymnastics

D. has a relatively high rate of damage to the body

4.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?

I: Introduction P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C: Conclusion

A.  B.

C.  D.

    The conclusion of the Paris Agreement in 2015，in which almost every nation committed to reduce their carbon emissions(排放)，was supposed to be a turning point in the fight against climate change.But many countries have already fallen behind their goals.Meanwhile emissions worldwide continue to rise.

The only way to catch up is to aggressively pursue an approach that takes advantage of every possible strategy to reduce emissions.Wind and solar energy are usually part of this effort，but it must also include investing heavily in carbon capture(碳捕捉)，utilization(应用)and storage(CCUS)—a range of technologies that pull carbon dioxide from the air，and transform it into useful materials or store it underground.Although CCUS has been opposed as too expensive and unproved，recent gains have made it far more effective.Improvements such as chemical compounds could drive the cost down from $1 00 per ton of captured carbon in 20 16 to $ 20 per ton by 2025，according to a 2016 article in Science.

Three primary CCUS paths lead to the reduction of carbon emissions:retrofitting(改装)existing power plants；reducing emissions in industries that cannot run on renewable energy；and directly removing carbon from the air.Cutting emissions from existing electric power stations with CCUS could be made more appealing in a future with a circular carbon economy，in which captured carbon could be resold and recycled for other uses——for instance，serving as a raw material for making concrete or plastics.

The basic idea of carbon capture has faced a lot of opposition.Skepticism has come from climate change deniers，who see it as a waste of money，and from passionate supporters of climate action, who fear that it would be used to justify continued reliance on fossil fuels.Both groups are ignoring the recent advances and the opportunity they present.By limiting investment in decarbonization，the world will miss a major avenue for reducing emissions in a variety of industries.CCUS can also create jobs and profits from what was previously only a waste material by creating a larger economy around carbon.

The transition to clean energy has become necessary.But that transition’s ability to achieve deep decarbonization will become less effective without this wide range of solutions，which must include CCUS.

1.What can CCUS technologies do in reducing emissions?

A.Closing down existing power plants.

B.Limiting investment in heavy industry.

C.Processing raw materials underground.

D.Turning carbon dioxide into useful materials.

2.Why is it attractive to retrofit existing power plants with CCUS?

A.It can remove carbon directly from the air.

B.It can benefit the industry economically.

C.It is the most affordable way to capture carbon.

D.It helps power plants produce concrete or plastics.

3.What can be inferred from paragraph 4?

A.Fossil fuels will be no longer used in future.

B.Investing in decarbonization is a worthwhile project.

C.Climate change deniers believe in the necessity of decarbonization.

D.Little progress has been made in the fight against carbon emissions.

4.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.Capture That Carbon B.Let Carbon Go

C.Stand Firm with Energy Protection D.Say Goodbye to Energy Crisis

    It was rush hour in the morning. Heather Sant, 36, was driving her white 2012 Mazda on the road with her nine-year-old daughter and ten-year-old son in the back. Suddenly, a red pickup truck cut them off. Sant turned the wheel hard to the right, sending the Mazda slide off the road and down an embankment(路堤) that ended in a drop-off after about 50 feet. If the car didn’t stop, it would take off and dive into the road some 20 feet below. Then a bit of luck: as the car raced toward the edge, its undercarriage got stuck, stopping it suddenly.

The people inside, however, were far from safe. The car had come to rest on top of a retaining wall(护墙), balancing on the edge of disaster. One sudden move by anyone inside could throw the car off balance and send it over. Jacob Rodriguez watched everything in terror from the nearby truck company where he works. As an experienced sailor, just like every time he met shipwreck, he whispered a sailing saying “Ship, shipmates, self”, then immediately he and four other men ran to the car. They leaped onto the trunk(后备箱) to balance the weight as the terrified kids in the back seat watched.

Meanwhile, Julio and his nephew Marco, were driving to their jobs at nearby Premier Automotive. Julio jumped out of the car to help while Marco went to the shop, grabbed a strong rope, and returned to the car. He tied the Mazda to an F-350 truck that had been driven over by one of the other rescuers. With the car secured, the group carefully opened the back doors and helped the children out. But their departure shifted the cars weight, causing it to tip forward. The men, still on the trunk, begged Sant to jump into the back seat. She did and then inched out of the back door. Finally, the men carefully got off the trunk. Everyone was safe.

“Another foot,” Rodriguez told USA Today, “and this would be a different story. ”

1.What most probably caused the traffic accident?

A.The Mazda was overloaded. B.Sant was really speeding.

C.The wheel failed to work. D.The pickup cut in abruptly.

2.Why did the men ask Sant to move to the back seat?

A.To open the back door of the car. B.To fasten the rope to the truck.

C.To keep the balance of the car. D.To help the men get off the trunk.

3.What does Rodriguez want to stress in the last paragraph?

A.The timely help offered by rescuers.

B.The excellent cooperation of all the people.

C.The dangerous position where the car stopped.

D.The serious danger the rescuers faced.

4.Which of the following statements is consistent with the theme of the passage?

A.Persistence will pay off. B.One in trouble, all to help.

C.Many hands make light work. D.Doing is better than saying.

Last summer, we are selected by our school to go on a study tour in Britain. On the morning of June 27th, at the moment we stepped out of the airport, we were surprised to find our home-stay families waiting to pick them up. Later we went to different home-stay families as scheduling, where we had typical English food and chatted happy.

The next day, we went to Westminster College to attend a presentation about a college. A professor gave us a vivid but interesting introduction. Over the next few days we visited so many famous tourist attraction. On the last day we had a farewell party, at which we gave fantastic performances, included singing and dancing.

    Regular exercise is a vital part of leading a healthy lifestyle.1. Signs of over-training include decreased performance, chronic(慢性的) tiredness, and mood swings. Here are some advice on treating exercise-related conditions:

* Take a break from exercising for 1 to 2 weeks. If you experience tiredness, mood swings, or any other symptoms of over-training, give your body a break. In most cases, 1 to 2 weeks is all it’ll take. You can do yoga or stretching during the time off. When you start exercising again, take it slow, and rest a muscle group for at least a day.2.

    Actors Keira Knightley and Kristen Bell have both commented on their worries about using Disney princesses as role models for their children.

On a famous talk show, Knightley said her daughter (who was born in 2015) was “banned” from watching Cinderella, which Disney produced as a cartoon in 1950 and a live-action film in 2015. “Cinderella waits around for a rich guy to rescue her. Don’t. Rescue yourself! Obviously.”

Knightley added that she had also forbidden The Little Mermaid, the 1989 cartoon. “This is the one that I’m quite annoyed about because I really like the film. I mean, the songs are great, but do not give up your voice for a man. Well, that’s a little difficult to handle, but I’m keeping to it.”

Bell, the star of Frozen, expressed her disapproval of the Snow White fairy tale, which became a classic Disney cartoon in 1938. In an interview with parents, Bell said: “I look at my girls and ask, ‘Don’t you think it’s very unusual that Snow White didn’t ask the old witch why she needed to eat the apple? Or where she got that apple?’ I say, ‘I would never take food from a stranger, would you?’ And my kids respond, ‘No!’ And I think I’m doing something right.”

Bell, who played a Disney princess in Frozen, said she also used the story to illustrate issues about permission. She says that she asked her children: “Don’t you think that it’s very strange that the prince kisses Snow White without her permission? … Because you cannot kiss someone if they’re sleeping!”

Bell later responded to criticism on social media. To one user she wrote: “Everything is a message to our children, because they are sponges(海绵) that soak up everything and are learning how to be adults through what they see. I want my girls to see and practice critical thinking and respectful behavior.”

1.Why did Knightley stop her daughter from watching The Little Mermaid?

A.Because Knightley disliked it.

B.Because the little mermaid was tricky.

C.Because the film showed wrong values.

D.Because the songs in the film were annoying.

2.What can we infer about Bell from Paragraph 4?

A.Bell thought Snow White behaved well.

B.Bell didn’t know how to persuade her kids.

C.Bell wanted her kids to learn from Snow White.

D.Bell believed her kids should be critical about the film.

3.What qualities do Knightley and Bell expect their children to have?

A.Curious and hard-working. B.Smart and generous.

C.Independent and good-mannered. D.Critical and proud.

4.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.Say No to Disney Princesses

B.Rescue Yourselves

C.Doing Something Right

D.Practice Critical Thinking

    Tuition and fees for a four-year private college averaged $35,830 in 2018-19; at four-year, in-state public colleges, it was $10,230, according to the College Board. And that’s not even adding in room and board or other expenses.

By the end of last year, the amount families actually paid was $26,458, on average, according to Sallie Mae’s 11th annual “How America Pays for College” report. That’s up from $23,757 in the year earlier.

Income and savings from parents and students combined covered nearly half, or 47 percent of that amount in 2017-2018, up from 44 percent the year earlier, the education lender found. “Some families do pay 100 percent out of pocket while some others do get a full ride, which means their children gain a full scholarship,” said Marie O’Malley, the senior director of consumer research at Sallie Mae. “Typically, though, people rely on a number of different resources to pull it together.”

Scholarships, in fact, were the single most-used resource to pay for an undergraduate’s college bill. The share of college costs covered by scholarships and grants - money that does not have to be paid back - accounted for 28 percent of the total expense. The average total award among those who used one or more scholarships was $7,760, Sallie Mae said. Of course, many families also borrow to pay for school. Borrowed money, or loans, covered nearly a quarter, or 24 percent of the bill, down from 27 percent the year before. Contributions from grandparents or other relatives or friends paid for the remainder.

The report surveyed about 800 parents of children aged 18-24 enrolled as undergraduate students and nearly 800 undergraduate students aged 18-24 online.

1.How much did the typical American family pay last year for college on average?

A.$35,830 B.$10,230 C.$26,458 D.$23,757

2.Which of the following best explains “out of pocket” underlined in paragraph 3?

A.borrowing from others B.at their own expense

C.free of charge D.with nothing rewarded

3.What kind of American college tuition has decreased in percentage compared with the year earlier?

A.loans B.savings

C.scholarships D.parents’ income

4.What contributes to the most part of the college expenses except the income and savings?

A.borrowed money B.money from relatives

C.money from banks D.scholarships

    When one California construction worker, Colin Blevin arrived at work at around 7 a.m. on Monday morning, he noticed a car was blocking the entrance-way to the construction site. While asking the driver to move, Colin spotted a baby in a car seat. “He moved the car and I pulled in,” Blevin said. “The back door was cracked open and I saw a baby.”

Blevin had no idea that earlier that morning, a car with a 1-year-old had been stolen about 90 miles away while the baby’s father ran inside to order his lunch. “I didn’t know what was going on. I didn’t know initially the baby was in danger and there was an AMBER Alert(警报),” Blevin said.

Even though everything appeared pretty normal, Blevin’s instincts told him something was wrong. After parking his car, a local woman walked over and confirmed his suspicions. The lady told him quietly, “Help me save this baby.” She said, “You have to save this baby. The guy tried to give it to me.” He looked into the car and there was a beautiful chunky baby looking at him. The baby was calm, clean, with a bottle on his chest.

Blevin met the man, 44-year-old Raymond Randy Gutierrez, and asked whose baby was in the car. “He said a lady gave him the car and left the baby in the car,” Blevin said. “And right away I thought that makes no sense. The baby was well taken care of and this guy was dirty, skinny and nervous.” Blevin grabbed the baby from the car and Gutierrez ran away when he called 911. Police caught Gutierrez later that day and were able to reunite the baby with his parents.
