I consider myself something of an expert on apologies. A quick temper has 1 me with plenty of opportunities to make them. In one of my earliest 2 , my mother is telling me, “Don't watch the 3 when you say, ‘I'm sorry’. Hold your head up and look the person in the 4 , so he'll know you 5 it.”
My mother thus made the key point of a (n) 6 apology: it must be direct. You must never 7 to be doing something else. You do not 8 a pile of letters while apologizing to a person 9 in position after blaming him or her for a mistake that turned out to be your own 10 . You do not apologize to a hostess, whose guest of honor you treat 11 , by sending flowers the next day without mentioning your bad 12 .
One of the important things you should do for an 13 apology is a readiness to 14 the responsibility (责任) for your careless mistakes. We are used to making excuses, which leaves no 15 for the other person to 16 us. Since most people are open-hearted, the no-excuse apology leaves both parties feeling 17 about themselves. That, after all, is the 18 of every apology. It 19 little whether the apologizer is wholly or only partly at fault; answering for one's 20 encourages others to take their share of the blame.

America is growing older. Fifty - eight years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. To day, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect（影响）American society in many ways—education, medicine, and business. Quietly, the graying of America has made us a very different society—one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior（行为） is suitable（合适）at various , ages.
A person s age no longer tells you anything about his/her social position, marriage or health. There’s no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn’t as strong as it used to be. It doesn’t surprise us to hear of a 29 - year - old university president or a 35 - year -old grandmother, or a 70 year - old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing.
Many people say, “I am much younger than my mother— or my father— was at my age. ”No one says“Act your age” any more. We’ve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.
It can be learnt from the text that the aging of the population in America ________ .
A. has made people feel younger
B. has changed people’s social position
C. has changed people’s understanding of age
D. has slowed down the country’s social development
The underlined word “one” refers to ________ .
A. a society B. America
C. a place D. population
“Act your age” means people should ________ .
A. be active when they are old
B. do the right thing at the right age
C. show respect for their parents young or old
D. take more physical exercise suitable to their age
If a 25 - year - old man becomes general manager of a big firm, the writer of the text would most probably consider it ________ .
A. normal B. wonderful
C. unbelievable D. unreasonable

The Mother Goose Stories, so well known to children all over the word, are commonly said to have been written by a little old woman for her grandchildren. According to some people, she lived in Boston, and her real name was Elizabeth Vergoose. Her son-in-law, a printer named Thomas Fleet, was supposed to have published the famous stories and poems for small children in 1719. However, no copy of this book has ever been found, and most scholars doubt the truth of this story—and doubt, moreover, that Mother Goose was ever a real person. They point out that the name is a direct translation of the French “Mere I’ Oye.” In 1697 the Frenchman Charles Perrault published the first book in which this name was used. The collection contains eight tales, including “Sleeping Beauty,” “Cinderella,” and “Puss in Boots.” But Perrault did not originate these stories; they were already quite popular in his day, and he only collected them.
In 1729 there appeared an English translation of Perrault’s collection,Robert Samber’s Histories or Tales of Past times, Told by MotherGoose(London,1729), which introduced “Sleeping Beauty”, “Little Red-hood”, “Puss in Boots”,”Cinderella” and other Perrault’s tales to English-speaking audiences. These were fairy tales(童话)。 John Newbery published a book of English rhymes，Mother Goose’s Melody, or Sonnets for the Cradle( London, undated,1765), which switched the focus from fairy tale to nursery rhymes, and in English this was until recently the primary meaning for Mother Goose.A book of poems for children entitled Mother Goose’s Melody was published in England in1781, and the name “Mother Goose” has been associated with children’s poetry ever since.
1.What is supposed to have happened in 1719?
A. Elizabeth Vergoose wrote the first Mother Goose Stories.
B. The Mother Goose Stories were translated into French.
C. Thomas Fleet published the Mother Goose Stories.
D. Charles Perrault published the first Mother Goose Stories.
2. Most scholars consider Mother Goose to be _________.
A. a real person B. a translation from French
C. a collection by Elizabeth Vergoose D. a book written by a little old woman
3.When Perrault published the first book in 1679, _______.
A. no story of the book had been known to people
B. some stories of the book were already well known
C. few people were interested in the stories of the book
D. stories like “Sleeping Beauty” and “Cinderella” became popular
4.The name used in the first book published in 1679 is supposed to have been _______.
A. Mother Goose B. Charles Perrault C. Elizabeth Vergoose D. Mere I’ Oye
5.When people talk about Mother Goose, they refer to,___________
