If you say to your children "I'm 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 "I'm sorry you're upset"; this suggests that you are somehow 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 lo 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 still 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 toy requires an apology. A six-year-old might need reminding that spoiling other children's expectations can require an apology. A twelve-year-old might need to be shown that raiding the biscuit 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

M: Thanks. As you know, he had been sick for some time before he passed away, so we were somewhat prepared. W: So, how's your grandmother taking it？ M: Oh, it's been really hard on her. I don't think you get over something like that. W: Yeah, I'm sure. My heart really goes out to her. Uh, so how's your grandmother going to be able to manage things alone？ M: Well, financially, grandmother will be able to live a secure life from now on. I mean, grandfather had life insurance and substantial investments in property and stocks, so returns on those should take care of her. But our main concern at this moment is her emotional state. She's really down, so a call now and again should brighten her day. W: So, what are the funeral arrangements？ M: Well, some of the family members will get together on Tuesday morning for a private memorial service, but there will be a viewing in the afternoon from 2:00 to 3:00, followed by the funeral service. W: I wish there was something I could do for you. M: Well, actually, there is. You know, grandfather really admired you a lot, and before he died, he asked if you'd sing a musical number at the funeral. W: Really？ I'd be honored. M: It would really mean a lot to the family. W: Sure. Then, see you on Tuesday. M: Okay, see you then. (20) A．He fell ill and passed away unexpectedly. B．He died in a traffic accident.

This unconscious mimicry is quite interesting to observe. Take for example, the two men standing at the hotel bar. They have mirrored each other's gestures and it is reasonable to assume that they are discussing a topic upon which they have the same thoughts and feelings. If one man uncrosses his arms and legs or stands on the other foot, the other will follow, lf one puts his hand in his pocket, the other will copy and this mimicry will continue for as long as the two men are in agreement. This copying also occurs among good friends or people at the same status level and it is common to see married couples walk, stand, sit and move in identical ways. People who are strangers, however, studiously avoid holding mutual positions. The significance of carbon copying can be one of the most important non-verbal lessons we can learn, for this is one way that others tell us that they agree with us or like us. It is also a way for us to tell others that we like them, by simply copying their gestures. If an employer wishes to develop an immediate rapport and create a relaxing atmosphere with an employee, he needs to copy the employee's posture to achieve the end. Similarly, an up-and-coming employee may be seen copying his boss' gestures in an attempt to show agreement. Using the knowledge, it is possible to influence a face-to-face encounter by copying the positive gestures and postures of the other person. This has the effect of putting the other person in a receptive and relaxed frame. of mind and he can "see" that you understand his point of view. What is an appropriate title for this passage？ A．Appropriate Social Behavior. B．How to Make Gestures. C．Carbon Copying: Showing Agreement Through Gestures. D．How to Avoid Carbon Copying.
