Ⅳ.阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。
My family has always had family dinners, as far as I can remember. Since I was a little boy, my mother has insisted(坚持) that we attend family dinners at least once a week.
Every Sunday, my mother would prepare a lot of food and bring it to my grandma’s house. We would wait for more family members to come before eating together at the table, my grandma’s dinner table.
I used to feel that was a silly(愚蠢的) little tradition. But now I find it’s fantastic to get together as a family to talk about anything and everything after a long week of school and work. Every time I sit at the dinner table, my grandma’s dinner table, I look around and find so many people who truly love me. It’s a love that feels so good. For me, dinner is not just a meal, but a chance to reconnect(再连接) with each other.
I finally realize the true meaning of this tradition. It’s not about the dinners or activities. It’s about family, a group of people who care about each other. All the memories(记忆) around my grandma’s dinner table will last forever.
Now, I’m always expecting Sunday to arrive.

When was the last time you felt sorry for something you did Maybe you made a mistake that hurt someone. Or maybe you did the wrong thing out of anger. Either way, the simple words “I'm sorry” can help you and others feel better.
▲ In the short term, it can make you feel bad. But you can learn from your mistakes without admitting(承认) them. Also, refusing to apologize(道歉) can break teams apart(分开), end friendships and cause misunderstanding in families. So we should learn to apologize. It is important to personal growth as well as relationships. It shows that you care about the relationship between you and the people hurt.
But remember：Apologizing isn't just saying sorry. It may also be bad because you may apologize in the wrong way. Don't worry. I'll show you some ways to apologize. They will help repair your relationship.
First, don't make any excuses. Also, don't blame(指责) the people you hurt. When you hurt those people, you probably feel really bad. You need to let them know that.
