Few words are spoken more often every day on the streets of Britain than “I’m sorry”. This phrase has become such a common response(反应) that it has taken on a lot of meanings.
Saying “Sorry” means to apologize(道歉). This is simple and easy to understand. We learn it both as a native speaker and as a student of foreign languages.
But in Britain, it takes on another meaning. It is a cultural expression. Imagine this: a man walks down the street, looking down at his phone. A woman is walking in the opposite direction, towards the man. She sees him, but she can’t get out of the way in time. The man bumps (碰撞) into the woman. Who should say sorry Naturally, the man should say sorry, because it was he who wasn’t looking where he was going. Yet in Britain, it is common for both to apologize.
It is known that British people, like most people, do not enjoy conflict(冲突).So to quickly calm the situation, British people will apologize to each other.
Other times it may sound funny to hear “sorry”. Some of my friends say it at restaurants, as they ask the waiter: “Sorry, but can I order another drink ” It is not to apologize, but just to express that we need the waiter. In Britain, sorry doesn’t always mean exactly what you think.
4 According to the passage, “saying sorry” is a cultural expression in .
A. the USA B. the UK C. the WWF D. the UN
5. What does the underlined phrase “take on” mean in Paragraph 1
A. 从事 B. 雇佣 C. 呈现 D. 拿起
6. The example in the third paragraph is used to .
A. describe a situation that people should avoid
B. describe how “sorry” has another meaning in Britain
C. explain why people should say sorry to each other
D. show how polite British people are
7. The restaurant example shows that “sorry” can be used to .
A. apologize B. calm a situation down
C. explain what you’re thinking about D. ask a waiter to bring something
8. What might be a good title for this passage
A. “I’m Sorry” Is More Than just an Apology B. Traditional British Manners
C. How to Best Catch Others’ Attention D. Finding a Way out of a Difficult Situation

Speaking by yourself at home and reading the exercises that you are doing will connect the muscle(肌肉)of your face to the information in your head. It's of great help to your pronunciation(发音).
Build a proper listening habit

Growing up with good books
My dear friends,
Reading is very important. We can get knowledge through reading. It can not only open our minds, but also make us cleverer and happier. Our study can be improved if we read more good books. The more we read, the more we will learn.
However, some students spend much time in listening to music, watching TV or going online to play games. It takes much of their spare time. So I would like to suggest that everyone should read more books, especially classical good books. And we can spread /introduce our Chinese traditional culture to the world.
Let's start reading now. And let it become a part of our life!
