An Apology Is Just a Step Toward Becoming a
Better Person
No matter how hard we try, we can't avoid hurting those we love. People are discovering they can't stand the way their partners chew, talk and brush the cat. Since we probably can't predict when our behaviors will annoy others, we need to learn how to make apologies afterward. A good apology has three parts.
First, show regret about the influence of your past behavior. A sincere apology means that you admit your choices negatively affected others. It involves regret or guilt — sometimes for what you've done to the other person, not necessarily for your own action.
Second, take responsibility in the present. Refusing to accept responsibility is not a sign of strength. It's a sign of narcissism (自恋). In many situations, we're too busy finding fault in the other person's actions instead of accepting our role in the problem. It doesn't matter whose fault it is when something is broken if it's your responsibility to fix it. Taking responsibility is a recognition of the power that you gain when you stop blaming people.
Third, describe how you plan to improve in the future. You can't right your wrongs if you don't explain how you're going to fix or prevent the problem. Then we should follow through on our promise so that we can earn forgiveness.
The three steps are relatively easy to try. The hard part is finding the power to apologize, because it means feeling guilty about having done a bad thing and maybe even some shame at the thought of being a bad person. Psychologists have discovered a good solution to that: When you've hurt someone, think about your key values. If sympathy, justice or generosity show up on your list, you might realize that apologizing doesn't mean admitting you're a bad person. It's just a step toward becoming a better person.
Questions：
1．What does a sincere apology mean according to the passage
2．What's the difficult part in an apology according to the passage
3．Please decide whether the following statement is true or false, and then explain why according to the passage.
Apologizing usually means admitting you are a bad person.
4．Do you agree with the author's opinion about how to make a good apology Why or why not？(The answers may vary.)

W: Boy, can I help you
M: Yes. I'm new here. Where should I go
W: Well, this is a program for this morning which starts at 9：30. All the new students will first gather in the meeting room where you'll be introduced to the staff.
M: Where is that
W: I'll tell you in a moment. But just let me tell you the details of this morning's activities.
M: OK, then.
W: Firstly, at a quarter to ten, in the hall, which is next to the meeting room, the Director of the Studies will talk to you about the different courses and their requirements. This should last about 45 minutes. Then at about half past ten, the chairman of the Student Union will talk about some social activities that we offer. That's in the same place. He will finish at about 11：00. Then there will be a short break, after which you'll be taken to Classroom 3 at about 11：15 for a test.
M: Oh, I can't believe I'll have to take a test.
W: Take it easy. It's not like an exam. It just helps us find your level of English and put you in the suitable class.
M: OK, I see.
(Text 2)
W: Hi, Bob! I am so glad that you came.
M: Of course I'd come. I couldn't think of a better chance to see all my old friends.
W: It's hard to believe that it's been ten years since graduation.
M: How time flies! How are things going with you
W: It's only recently that I've been able to start settling down. How about you Are you still with Jenny
M: Yeah, Jenny and I got married right after graduation. It was hard for the first three years — I was supporting us both while she continued her studies — but now things are getting better. I work as a manager in a trade company and she's working at a law firm. It's all started to come together and we're finally able to make a life for ourselves.
W: Oh, that sounds wonderful. I have always known you two would make it. I hope I can keep in better contact with you.
M: Definitely! Actually, we just moved into a new place. There's a house warming party this Saturday, if you are free. I know Jenny would love to see you again and it should be a good party.
W: Sounds great! I am free this weekend and I'll be there.
(Text 3)
W: Hello, Ben! You're getting ready for tomorrow's lessons, aren't you
M: Yes.I'm a bit nervous.I am a newer in class and now I'll get along with my classmates.
W: I understand how you're feeling.Just take it easy.You'll make a lot of new friends very soon.
M: Thank you.I'll try my best to get used to my new school life as soon as possible.By the way, what time does the first class begin
W: At 8：00 o'clock.But before that we have 10 minutes to hand in homework and then 20 minutes for morning reading.
M: So we must get to school before 7：30, right
W: Right.
M: How long does each class last
W: 45 minutes, I think, with a 10 or 15 minutes' break.
M: Well, I hear that lunchtime is nearly 12：00 o'clock and I'll be starving by then.
W: Don't worry.During the break after the second class, we can buy something to eat.
M: That's good.

1．It's true that the Internet allows us to make friends with people in every corner of the world, enabling us to broaden our horizons and learn many new things easily. However, it's widely believed that it's unsafe to make friends online. The reason is that we may have no idea what kind of people we're building friendship with.
2．As far as I'm concerned, every coin has two sides, and making friends online is no exception. There is no need for us to give it up completely, but we must be cautious enough in case of being cheated.
