B．he is just trying to console the parents
C．he really thinks it an excellent match
D．he feels sorry for not enrolling such an excellent student
If you say to your children "I am 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 expecting an apology.
Another method by which people appear to apologize without actually doing so is to say 'Tm sorry you're upset"; this suggests that you are somewhat at fault for allowing yourself to get upset by what the other person has done.
Then there is the general, all covering apology, which avoids 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 "I'm useless as a parent" does not commit a person to any specific improvement.
These pseudo-apologies are used by people who believe 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 will need help to become aware of the complexities 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 to requires an apology. A six-year-old might need to be shown that raiding the buscuit tin without asking permission is acceptable, but that borrowing a parent's clothes without permission is not.
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 child has been hurt
C．the child may find the apology easier to accept
D．the child may feel that he owes her an apology

Passage Four
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.
If you want to teach your children how to say sorry, you must be good at saying it yourself, especially to your own children. But how you say it can be quite tricky.

"When one of the doctors criticizes(批评) me, I get defensive. I feel like a child again, being scolded, and I want to explain that I' m not wrong. "says Viola, a nurse. This s a common reaction(反应) to criticism, but not a good one. There are better ways of dealing with criticism.
1. Try to be objective (客观) . When Sol was criticized by his new employer for not having made a sale, Sol' s reaction was to feel sorry for himself. "I had put everything I had into making that sale," Sol says, "and I felt that I had failed as a person. I had to earn through experience not to react like that to each failure. "
2. Take time to cool down. Rather than reacting immediately to criticism, take some time to think over what was said . Your first question should be whether the criticism is fair from the other person' s position. The problem may be a simple misunderstanding of what you did or your reasons for doing it.
3. Take positive(积极的) action. After you cool down, consider what you can do about the situation. The best answer may be "nothing". "I finally realized that my boss was having personal problems and taking them out on me because I was there," says Sheila. "His criticisms didn' t really have anything to do with my work, so nothing I said or did was going to change them. " In Sheila' s case, the best way to deal with it was to leave her job. However, that' s an extreme reaction. You may simply explain your opinion without expecting an in-depth discussion. You may even decide that the battle isn' t worth fighting this time. The key, in any case, is to have a reasonable plan.

A．argued bitterly with his employer
B．was angry and gave up his job
C．was sorry for what he did
D．was sad and self-pitying

M: Yes. I thought it was quite interesting, but I don't quite understand the column entitled change. Can you explain what it means？
W: Well, I think it means the change from the year before. I am not a mathematician, but I assume the rise from 70p to 90p is a rise of 25 percent.
M: Oh, yes, I see. And the inflation rate is there for comparison.
W: Yes. Why do you think the rise in pocket money is often higher than inflation？
M: I am sorry I've no idea. Perhaps parents in Britain are too generous.
W: Perhaps they are. But it looks as if children were not better off in 2001 than they were in 2002. That's strange, isn't it？ And they seem to have been better off in 2003 than they are now. I wonder why that is.
M: Yes, I don't understand that at all.
W: Anyway, if you had children, how much pocket money would you give them？
M: I don't know. I think I'll probably give them 2 pounds a week.
W: Would you？ And what would you expect them to do with it？
M: Well, out of that, they have to buy some small personal things, but I wouldn't expect them to save to buy their own socks, for example.
W: Yes, by the way, do most children in your country get pocket money？
M: Yeah, they do.
What is the table of figures about？
A．The pocket money British children get.
B．The annual inflation rate in Britain.
C．The things British children spend money on.
D．The rising cost of raising a child in Britain.
Parents' Homework: Find Perfect Teachers for Kids
Tomi Hall did what she could to lobby for the best teachers for her two children, making her case this spring in letters to the principal. Then all she could do was waiting for news of their classroom assignments and it's been torturing. The Aurora mom knows her efforts carry no guarantees. One year her son didn't get the teacher Hall had hoped for, and he struggled for months with one whose relaxed style. came across to him as uncaring. "Granted, I know it's just kindergarten," said Hall, 39. "But ... a teacher can make or break you.
In the next few weeks, many families will rip open notification letters or go to school to see class lists posted on the front door. For parents accustomed to directing nearly every aspect of their child's early learning it can be difficult to have little voice in teacher selection--a decision they view as critical. Some spend hours crafting the perfect letter or meet with the principal to make an argument. For their child's early learning, parents regard that teacher is critical.
Principals, meanwhile, struggle to create balanced classrooms while juggling (更改) individual requests. They say they want input but find it increasingly necessary to discourage parents from asking for a specific teacher. Administrators don't want the selection process to be a popularity contest--in part because what makes a teacher popular may have nothing to do with a particular child's educational needs.
"I'm bright enough to realize parents talk at soccer fields and baseball fields, but you have to realize your experience with Teacher A may be very different than someone else's Teacher A," said Scott Meek, the new principal at Northbrook Junior High School who is making classroom assignments this summer for 600 students with the help of an office display board. He asks parents to focus their input on the student and his or her learning style. and trust the school to make the right match.
Some students also believe that certain teachers bring out the best in them. "I need one of those strict kinds of teachers," said Hall's daughter Tori, 12, who is entering 7th grade. "When I get a not-so-strict teacher, I think they don't really care about me. I really don't want a bad teacher. I'll get lower grades."
When Chaya Fish, 30, of West Rogers Park taught at a private school in New York, she said, it was obvious who the "in, teachers were. She said she automatically joined them after the principal's son landed in her classroom. "It was ridiculous," said Fish. "The other teacher was probably better than me. It was how you dressed, how you talked" that often determined parental favor.
Teachers said the most vocal parents often get their way so that all parties involved can avoid a difficult school year. But educators warn that parents who get what they wish for may be sorry afterward. "A lot of times when people orchestrate (精心安排) who they think their child is best suited for, they find they made a mistake," said Mark Friedman, superintendent for Libertyville Elementary School District 70. "I have many parents say later, 'I don't know why I did this. It isn't working out this year.'" Friedman said he assures parents their comments will be considered but never guarantees a specific teacher. In fact, he tells them that if they do request a teacher and later regret that choice, "you have no one to blame but yourself."
Some parents said they've learned their lesson about trying to guess which teacher would be best. Jamie Thompson said she was initially concerned when her daughter was assigned to a strict lst-grade teacher. She was aware other parents had lobbied for a different person, who had a more casual style. "At the end, it turned out that the other class was asking, ' Why isn't my child learning that？' "said Thompson, 36, of Arlington Heights. "That's why
A．they are used to directing nearly all aspects of their child
B．they are used to spending hours crafting the perfect letter
C．they consider their decision is critical
D．they consider the teacher is critical
W: Of course we are.
M: Interesting! You said "of course" Don't you think there are quite a few sisters who aren't close？
W: Sarah and I aren't just sisters. We're identical twins.
M: I take your point. How identical are you, in fact？
W: Both blonde, with brown eyes. Same height, same weight, same size. Even shoes.
M: As you're the same size, have you always dressed alike？
W: Oh yes. I'm told it started when we were babies. Mum made a feature of her twins. And then we got into the habit of buying two of everything.
M: And you've never minded having a double identity？ I mean ... another person exactly like you？
W: Sarah isn't exactly like me. We may look identical, but I remember our boyfriends couldn't tell us apart.
M: Didn't that cause problems？
W: For them, perhaps. Not for us. We couldn't stop laughing.
M: I think you said you and Sarah weren't exactly alike？ Just what did you mean by that？
W: Sarah has a well -fed happy husband and four healthy children. When she was washing up, I was learning to type. When she was knitting, I was writing articles lot the school newspaper. When she was having her second child, I was in Panama, doing my first job for United Information Services. See what I mean？
M: And haven't you got a healthy husband and happy children？
W: You must be joking. There's never been the time ... or the inclination.
M: Laura, you've made some-very interesting points. I gather that you don't feel that behaviour is purely genetic ... that there might be some element of environment or choice or even perhaps...
W: Shall I conclude？ Sarah and I are identical twins ... in appearance, that is ... but it's a fact that life has presented us with different opportunities, so we've led very different lives.
