Its never easy to admit you are in the wrong. Being human, we all need to know the art of apologizing. Look back with honesty and think how often youve judged roughly, said __1__ things, pushed yourself ahead at the expense of a friend. Then count the occasions when you indicated clearly and __2__ that you were sorry. A bit frightening, isnt it? Frightening because some deePwisdom in us knows that when even a small wrong has been committed, some mysterious moral feeling is __3__, and it stays out of balance until fault is acknowledged and __4__ is expressed.I remember a doctor friend, telling me about a man who came to him with a variety of signs: headaches, insomnia and stomach trouble. No __5__ cause could be found. Finally my friend said to the man, Unless you tell me whats worrying you, I cant helPyou.After some hesitation, the man __6__ that, as executor of his fahers will, he had been cheating his brother, who lived abroad, of his __7__. Then and there the wise old doctor made the man write to his brother asking __8__ and enclosing a cheque as the first stePin restoring their good relation. He then went with him to mail box in the corridor. As the letter disappeared, the man burst into tears. Thank you, He said, I think Im __9__. And he was. A heartfelt apology can not only __10__ a damaged relationshiPbut also make it stronger. If you can think of someone who deserves an apology from you, someone you have wronged, or just neglected, do something about it right now.

　　B)mental

　　C)unkind

　　D)regret

　　E)accurately

　　F)confessed

　　G)inheritance

　　H)physical

　　I)cured

　　J)treat

　　K)truly

　　L)unfaithful

　　M)forgiveness

　　N)disturbed

　　O)excuse

　　【答案】

　　1.選C)。此處應填形容詞。從后面的pushed yourself ahead at the expense of a friend可知，說的是不好的話，可選項有unkind和unfaithful，但由前面的judged roughly粗魯的評判可知這里表示說話時不考慮他人的感受，因此unkind刻薄的更加符合上下文語氣。

　　2.選K)。由clearly and一詞可知，此處應填副詞，與closely一起修飾道歉時的情形。選項有accurately和truly,由回想一下你曾明確地并......地表示自己歉意的場合，能使句意通順的是truly真誠地，而accurately一般表示精確地，故排除。

　　3.選N)。it stays out of balance until...，其中it=some mysterious moral feeling可推出，出于道義上的原因，人會感到不安，故選disturbed不安的。而confessed公開承認的不符合句意。

　　4.選D)。此處應填名詞。從知道承認錯誤，表達......之后，才能覺得安心，選項中只有regret歉意符合題意。

　　5.選H)。此處應填形容詞。由headaches，insomniaand stomach trouble可推出，可選項有mental和physical，由朋友的話Unless... Worrying you, I cant helPyou. 可知這個人是由于心理上的原因，而不是生理上的，故選physical即No physical cause...。

　　6.選F)。此處應填動詞。選項中的動詞有confessed，cured和disturbed，但由After some hesitation可推出，此人是在向醫生坦白情況，故選擇confessed坦白。

　　7.選G)。此處應填名詞。由as executor of his fathers will可推知，此處說明的是，在遺產繼承方面，他一直在欺騙他居住在國外的兄弟，故只有選項inheritance符合題意。

　　8.選M)。此處應填名詞。由restoring their good relation可推知，他是寫信給他兄弟請求原諒，故選項中只有forgiveness符合題意。選項中excuse用作名詞時，一般解釋為理由，借口而沒有原諒的意思，故排除。

　　9.選I)。由第二段最后一句wahts worrying you和這個人的感情Thank you可推出，此處說明的是醫生治好了他的心病，選項中只有cured符合題意。

　　10.選A)。此處應填動詞的圓形。But also make it stronger使人際關系更加穩固，it指代a damaged relationship，由此可知，空格處應填表示修復的詞，選項中的heal則有治愈，修復的意思，符合原文意思。treat一般專指醫學上的治療，用在此處不合適。
