名師點(diǎn)評(píng)
這是一篇關(guān)于學(xué)會(huì)如何道歉的短文，它提醒人們要學(xué)會(huì)認(rèn)識(shí)自己的錯(cuò)誤，并能夠?yàn)樽约旱腻e(cuò)誤道歉。做不到這一點(diǎn)會(huì)造成自己心理上的壓力，甚至帶來(lái)疾病。
答案解析在下一頁(yè)
1. C。這里指的是人們有必要了解道歉這門藝術(shù)。
2. D。times這里表示次數(shù)。
3. A。根據(jù)上文，承認(rèn)錯(cuò)誤決非易事，道歉更是一門藝術(shù)，此時(shí)作者是建議讀者計(jì)算一下有過(guò)多少次是能清楚地表達(dá)自己的歉意的，所以選sorry。
4. C。如果你對(duì)自己的錯(cuò)誤什么也不去做, 你睡覺(jué)也不會(huì)睡得好。
5. A。這里表示心臟有毛病。
6. B。
7. B。nothing wrong 表明這個(gè)人生理沒(méi)有任何問(wèn)題, 看下文就可以知道這一點(diǎn)。
8. D。
9. A。這是一名很聰明的醫(yī)生, 所以他提出了下面一個(gè)方法。
10. D。made 具有強(qiáng)制性的意思, 故選let sb. do sth..好。 #p#分頁(yè)標(biāo)題#e#
11. A。上文得知這人騙了哥哥的遺產(chǎn), 所以還了他所欠的錢才能治好他的心病。
12. D。根據(jù)后面的post box可以得知這里是指寄出了那封信。
13. B。這個(gè)人其實(shí)沒(méi)有病, 所以在解決了心理問(wèn)題后,他一下子覺(jué)得好了, 而不是好轉(zhuǎn), 故選well 而不是better。
14. C。道歉不僅可以挽救破碎的人際關(guān)系, 還可以增強(qiáng)人與人之間的聯(lián)系。harder指的是具體事物的“堅(jiān)硬”, 故此處不當(dāng)。
15. A。give sb. an apology意為“向某人道歉”。
