I consider myself something of an expert on apologies. A quick temper has 36 me with plenty of opportunities to make them. In one of my earliest 37 , my mother is telling me , “Don’t watch the 38 when you say, ‘I’m sorry’. Hold your head up and look at the person in the 39 , so he’ll know you 40 it.”
My mother thus made the key point of a(n) 41 apology: it must be direct. You must never 42 to be doing something else. You do not 43 a pile of letters while apologizing to a person 44 in position after blaming him or her for a mistake that turned out to be your 45 . You do not apologize to a hostess, whose guest of honor you treat 46 , by sending flowers the next day without mentioning your bad 47 .
One of the important things we should do for an 48 , apology is a readiness to 49 the responsibility for our careless mistakes .We are used to making excuses ,which leaves no 50 for the other person to 51 us .Since most people are open-hearted ,the no-excuse apology leaves both parties feeling 52 about themselves .That ,after all ,is the 53 of every apology .It 54 little whether the apologizer is wholly or only partly a fault :answering for one’s 55 encourages others to take their share of the blame.

The loss of a job can have a very serious impact on the individual. The immediate effect, of course, is a sharp drop in income. Unemployment benefits(失業(yè)津貼)typically offer less than half the individual’s previous earnings, and many people are not even entitled to these benefits━for example, the self-employed, recent graduates who have not held a steady job in the previous year, and people who have been unemployed for a long period. The economic pressure on the jobless is very severe, particularly for those who have young children or long-term commitments for expenses for houses and education.
But the effects of unemployment are not merely financial; they are also social and psychological. As one out-of-work teacher puts it: “It’s difficult when you strip away(去掉)all the things that supposedly hold you together in terms of an identity. Your work, your money, whatever is power to you, whatever is responsibility, whatever means freedom and choice.” I had to ask myself, “Who am I now? What will I do now?” All too often, long-term unemployment may thrust the individual into boredom, despair, ill-temper, and perhaps, conflict with other family members. Even those who keep their jobs are affected by rates of unemployment, for they begin to fear for own future. Lacking the confidence that workers have in times of full employment, they negotiate less aggressively for improvements in pay or working conditions, for they and the employers know that if they do not like the job as it is, others will gladly take it. Unemployment is always accompanied, in fact, by underemployment━the situation in which people are working either for extremely low wages or at jobs below their level of skill.
68.It can be inferred from the passage that unemployment benefits are given to ______.
A.people who are self-employed but now unemployed
B.recent graduates who have not held a steady job in the previous year
C.people who have been unemployed for a long period
D.people who have been unemployed for a short period
69.According to the passage, ______ .
A.the loss of a job can have little impact on the individual
B.unemployment benefits are normally about the same as a person’s previous earnings
C.unemployment benefits are normally less than half of a person’s previous earnings
D.the economic pressure on the jobless is typically not very severe
70.By “underemployment”(Line 12, Para. 2), the writer means the situation in which ______.
A.people are unemployed or low skills are required
B.some people are unemployed and poorly paid
C.people are working for less than eight hours a day
D.people are working for low wages or at jobs below their level of skill
71.The best title for the passage would be ______ .
A.The Financial Effect of Unemployment B.The Social Effect of Unemployment
C.The Psychological Effect of Unemployment D.The Effects of Unemployment

How to beat nerves
Do you blank out, freeze up (呆住) or feel so nervous in exams that you have trouble writing answers to questions that you knew just last night?
If so, you likely have a case of test anxiety.
But, don’t panic. By recognizing the problem, you are taking the first step towards overcoming it.
Believe it or not, a touch of nervousness can sharpen your mind, allowing you to perform more quickly. This is because under stress, the body releases the hormone adrenaline (腎上腺素), which prepares it for something important that will happen. However, too much anxiety can result in sleeplessness, loss of appetite before tests, and poor performance. Some people might feel shaky(weak), hot, or even sick.
If you worry a lot or are a perfectionist, you are more likely to have trouble with test anxiety. Those who have prepared poorly for a test or have had negative experiences taking tests may also experience test anxiety.
When you feel a storm of anxiety coming on, stop what you're doing and make your mind a blank. If possible, actually tell yourself to ‘STOP!’ This will get your mind off the stress. Then think of being at a place of comfort and let your body relax. As you continue the test, find questions you know the answers to and answer them first. This will help restore your confidence.
Talk to yourself using positive language. Make it a habit to replace each negative thought with a logical reason. For example: “I've studied hard and I know the material, so I’m ready to do the best I can.” Another thing you can do is to learn to accept mistakes. In fact, they can be valuable learning opportunities.
Last but not least, start test preparation early three to five days ahead of the quiz or test. After all, good study habits and skills. for example, time management and note-taking will give you the feeling that you are in control.
60.The main purpose of the passage is to .
A.tell you that worrying is no good

A.are no longer sure of yourself and cannot think clearly
B.develop negative thoughts about yourself in everyday life

D.feel anxious in the exam and always fail in exams
62.The phrase “l(fā)ast but not least” at the last paragraph means .
A.the last but actually there are more
B.the last in order and importance
C.the last but as important as others
D.the last but the most important

A.you should not place too high expectations on yourself
