But how you say it can be quit
18、e tricky.If you say to your children “Im sorry I got angry with you, but .“ what follows that “but“ can render the apology ineffective: “I had a bad day“ or “your noise was giving me a headache“ leaves the person who has been injured feeling that he should be apologizing for his bad behavior in expe
19、cting an apology.Another method by which people appear to apologize without actually doing so is to say “Im sorry you re upset“ : this suggests that you are somehow at fault for allowing yourself to get upset by what the other person has done.Then there is the general, all covering apology, which av
20、oids the necessity of identifying a specific act that was particularly hurtful or insulting, and which the person who is apologizing should promise never to do again. Saying “Im useless as a parent“ does not commit a person to any specific improvement.These pseudo-apologies are used by people who be
21、lieve saying sorry shows weakness, Parents who wish to teach their children to apologize should see it as a sign of strength, and therefore not resort to these pseudo-apologies.But even when presented with examples of genuine contrition, children still need help to become a ware of the complexities
22、of saying sorry. A three-year-old might need help in understanding that other children feel pain just as he does, and that hitting a playmate over the head with a heavy toy requires an apology. A six-year-old might need reminding that spoiling other children s expectations can require an apology. A
23、12-year-old might need to be shown that raiding the biscuit tin without asking permission is acceptable, but that borrowing a parent s clothes without permission is not.41 If a mother adds “but“ to an apology, _.（A）she doesn t feel that she should have apologized（B） she does not realize that the chi
24、ld has been hurt（C） the child may find the apology easier to accept（D）the child may feel that he owes her an apology42 According to the author, saying “Im sorry you re upset“ most probably means“_“.（A）You have good reason to get upset（B） Im aware you re upset, but I m not to blame（C） I apologize for
25、 hurting your feelings（D）I m at fault for making you upset43 It is not advisable to use the general, all-covering apology because_.（A）it gets one into the habit of making empty promises（B） it may make the other person feel guilty（C） it is vague and ineffective（D）it is hurtful and insulting44 We lear
26、n from the last paragraph that in teaching children to say sorry_.（A）the complexities involved should be ignored（B） their ages should be taken into account（C） parents need to set them a good example（D）parents should be patient and tolerant45 It can be inferred from the passage that apologizing prope
27、rly is_.（A）a social issue calling for immediate attention（B） not necessary among family members（C） a sign of social progress（D）not as simple as it seems45 Educating girls quite possibly yields a higher rate of return than any other investment available in the developing world. Women s education may
28、be unusual territory for economists, but enhancing women s contribution to development is actually as much an economic as a social issue. And economics , with its emphasis on incentives(激励 ), provides guideposts that point to an explanation for why so many girls are deprived of an education.Parents
29、in low-income countries fail to invest in their daughters because they do not expect them to make an economic contribution to the family: girls grow up only to marry into somebody else s family and bear children. Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and art kept at home to do housework whi
30、le their brothers are sent to school-the prophecy(预言 )becomes self-fulfilling, trapping women in a vicious circle(恶性循环)of neglect.An educated mother, on the other hand, has greater earning abilities outside the home and faces an entirely different set of choices. She is likely to have fewer but heal
31、thier children and can insist on the development of all her children, ensuring that her daughters are given a fair chance. The education of her daughters then makes it much more likely that the next generation of girls, as well as of boys, will be educated and healthy. The vicious circle is thus tra
32、nsformed into a virtuous circle.Few will dispute that educating women has great social benefits. But it has enormous economic advantages as well. Most obviously, there is the direct effect of education on the wages of female workers. Wages rise by 10 to 20 per cent for each additional year of school
33、ing. Such big returns are impressive by the standard of other available investments, but they are just the beginning. Educating women also has a significant impact on health practices, including family planning.46 The author argues that educating girls in developing countries is_.（A）troublesome（B） l
34、abor-saving（C） rewarding（D）expensive47 By saying “. the prophecy becomes self-fulfilling. . . “(Lines 45 , Para. 2). the author means that_.（A）girls will turn out to be less valuable than boys（B） girls will be capable of realizing their own dreams（C） girls will eventually find their goals in life be
35、yond reach（D）girls will be increasingly discontented with their life at home48 The author believes that a vicious circle can turn into a virtuous circle when_.（A）women care more about education（B） girls can gain equal access to education（C） a family has fewer but healthier children（D）parents can aff
36、ord their daughters education49 What does the author say about women s education?（A）It deserves greater attention than other social issues.（B） It is now given top priority in many developing countries.（C） It will yield greater returns than other known investments.（D）It has aroused the interest of a
37、growing number of economists.50 The passage mainly discusses_.（A）unequal treatment of boys and girls in developing countries（B） the potential earning power of well-educated women（C） the major contributions of educated women to society（D）the economic and social benefits of educating women50 In this a
38、ge of Internet chat, videogames and reality television, there is no shortage of mindless activities to keep a child occupied. Yet, despite the competition, my 8-year-old daughter Rebecca wants to spend her leisure time writing short stories. She wants to enter one of her stories into a writing conte
39、st, a competition she won last year.As a writer I know about winning contests, and about losing them. I know what it is like to work hard on a story only to receive a rejection slip from the publisher. I also know the pressures of trying to live up to a reputation created by previous victories. What
40、 if she doesn t win the contest again? That s the strange thing about being a parent. So many of our own past scars and dashed hopes can surface.A revelation(启示)came last week when I asked her, “Don t you want to win again?“ “ No, “ she replied, “ I just want to tell the story of an angel going to f
41、irst grade. “I had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she spontaneously(自发地)told them. Telling myself that I was merely an experienced writer guiding the young writer across the hall, I offered suggestions for characters, conflicts and endings for her tales. The story about a fearful angel s
42、tarting first grade was quickly “guided“ by me into the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her first music lesson. I had turned her contest into my contest without even realizing it.Staying back and giving kids space to grow is not as easy as it looks. Because I know very little ab
43、out farm animals who use tools or angels who go to first grade, I had to accept the fact that I was co -opting(借用)my daughters experience.While stepping back was difficult for me, it was certainly a good first step that I will quickly follow with more steps, putting myself far enough away to give he
44、r room but close enough to help if asked. All the while I will be reminding myself that children need room to experiment, grow and find their own voices.51 What do we learn from the first paragraph?（A）A lot of distractions compete for children s time nowadays.（B） Children do find lots of fun in many
