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. If you say to your children "I'm sorry I got angry with you, but...", what follows that "but" can make 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 means by which peaple 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 is 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(假道歉) 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 take these pseudo-apologies. But even when presented with examples of real apology, childfen still need help to become aware of the complexities of saying sorry.& A three-year-old might need help in un- derstanding 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 12-year-old might need to be shown that destroying the biscuit tin without asking permission is acceptable, but thatborrowing a parent's clothes without permission is not.【小题1】If a mother adds "but" to an apology, ________.A．the child may find the apology easier to acceptB．the child may feel that he owes her an apologyC． she promises never to do it againD．she does not realize that the child has been hurt【小题2】According to the author, saying "I am sorry you are upset" most probably means “_______”A．You have good reason to get upsetB．I apologize for hurting your feelingsC．I am at fault for making you upsetD．I am aware you are upset, but I am not to blame【小题3】It is not advisable to use the general, all-covering apology because _______.A． it is not clear and ineffectiveB． it is hurtful and insultingC． it may make the other person feel faultyD．it gets one into the habit of making empty promises .【小题4】We learn from the last paragraph that in teaching children to say sorry_______A．the complexities involved should be ignoredB．parents need to set them a good exampleC．their ages should be taken into accountD．parents should be patient and tolerant【小题5】It can be inferred from the passage that apologizing properly is________.A．a sign of social,progressB．not as simple as it seemsC．not necessary among family members.D．a social issue calling for immediate attention

Americans, generally speaking, make an effort to be friendly with their colleagues, neighbours and other people they often run into. This often takes the form of a simple greeting like “How’s it going?” or “What’s up ?” This is simply a way of saying I see you and I recognize you.Americans also show this friendliness in “small talk”. Small talk is a casual conversation that Americans engage in when they meet on the street, in the shop or in the office before a meeting. Usually the topics of such small talk will be something that everyone is familiar with, the weather, sports, traffic, hobbies or what’s on television. The topic of the conversation is not as important as the effort make to spend a few minutes with the other person. Small talk shows that you are a considerate person who is interested in others and who is willing to take the time to get to know people.Small talk is used in the business world to create a friendly atmosphere and to put everyone at ease before the serious matters of business are discussed. Often businessmen will spend a few minutes talking about the weather or sports before a meeting. This form of small talk only lasts a few minutes before the American businessman wants to “get down to business.”Asians are very skilled at making casual conversation. However, they often find it difficult to make small talk with Americans because they don’t know what to say, how to say it and who to say it to. Americans may see Asians who are reluctant to make small talk as unfriendly and cold. 【小题1】 American people ask others how it is going because &&&&&.A．they are curious about others’ affairsB．they are eager to help othersC．they want to start a long conversationD．they only want to show their kindness【小题2】Businessmen talk about weather before a meeting &&&&&&.&&&A．so that everyone present will feel relaxedB．in order that everyone will be warned against the possible bad weatherC．because weather is very important to American peopleD．in order to make people fresh【小题3】The word “reluctant” means &&&&&&.&&&&&&&&A．willingB．eagerC．unwillingD．skilled【小题4】Which of the following is not true according to the passage?A．You should keep the conversation short.B．Asians are not friendly and don’t like to talk with othersC．“To get down to business” means to start the work.D．The topics of the small talk are not very important.

Have you ever considered all the English expressions
that include words about clothes? Let’s see if I can name a few proverbs “off
the cuff” since I haven’t prepared for it.
English expressions with “pants”
People wear pants to cover the lower part of their
bodies. We sometimes say that people who are restless or nervous have “ants
in their pants.” They might also “fly by the seat of their pants” -- they use
their natural sense to do something instead of their learned knowledge.
Sometimes, people may “get caught with their pants down” -- they are found
doing something they should not be doing. And, in every family, one person
takes control. Sometimes a wife tells her husband what to do. Then we say
“she wears the pants in the family.”
When people want to say something about money
Pants usually have pockets to hold things. Money
that is likely to be spent quickly can “burn a hole in your pocket.”
Sometimes you need a belt to hold up your pants. If you have less money than
usual, you may have to “tighten your belt” -- you may have to live on less
money and spend your money carefully. But once you have succeeded in
budgeting your money, you will have that skill “under your belt.”
&&& I always praise people who can
save their money and not spend too much. I really “take my hat off to them.”
Yet, when it comes to my own money, I spend it “at the drop of a hat” — immediately, without waiting. And sadly, you cannot
“pull money out of a hat” —you cannot get money by
inventing or imagining it.
English expressions with “shoes”
Boots are a heavy or strong kind of shoes. People
who are “too big for their boots” think they are more important than they
really are. I dislike such people. I really do. You can bet your boots on
&&& Yet, truly important people are
hard to replace. Rarely can you “fill their shoes” -- or replace them with
someone equally effective.
English expressions with “shirt”
My father is an important person. He runs a big
company. He wears a suit and tie and a shirt with sleeves that cover his
arms. Some people who do not know him well think he is too firm and severe.
They think he is a real “stuffed shirt.” But I know that my father “wears his
heart on his sleeve” —he shows his feelings openly. And, he
knows how to “keep his shirt on”—he stays
calm and never gets angry or too excited.&&&&
1.What is this passage mainly about?&
A. Which words can be used to describe my father.
B. Why English expressions include words about
clothes.
C. What people mean when they use some proverbs.
D. How to say English correctly and properly.
2.Which of the following proverbs are not related to
money?
A. tighten one’s
belt&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
B. take one’s hat off to them
C. burn a hole in one’s
pocket&&&&&& &&&&&D. get
caught with their pants down
3.Tim often considers himself the most important person
in the world, which is far from the truth .We may say ______.
A. he “wears his heart on his sleeve
”.&&&&& B. he “bet his boots on that ”.
C. he is “too big for their
boots”.&&&&&&&&& D. he “ fill
their shoes”.
4.If you want to praise somebody for his calmness when
facing danger, you may say______.
A. “Amazing! How can you keep your shirt on at that
time!”
B. “You really fill your shoes”
C. “Awesome ! You wear your heart on your sleeve!”
D. “Cool! You are truly a stuffed shirt”.

Peer（同龄人）Pressure
&& &Peer pressure is just part
of the challenges in life. &&66& &If you need
further guidance, this article might help you. It provides three effective tips
to deal with it:
Be with friends who respect your beliefs
& &&You can go out with people
who accept and respect the things you believe in and those who you know you can
share your interests with. It is all right to be choosy with friends because
you just want what is best for them and you. &&67& &You
are just exhibiting what you know is right and good for both sides. Your
friends will understand you for that. They can drag you away from discrimination
and you can be confident that they will not leave you for your stand in life.
&&& When you are driven by so
many peer pressures, you can always stay away from it. You can actually decide
not to be one of them. When you have decided on it, learn to be firm with your decision.
&&69& They should know that you cannot be forced to do
certain things because you are strong and firm with what you believe in.
Learn how to say no
Learning to say no is one big factor to deal
with some pressures from all of your friends. When you are convinced to do
something you know that can only destroy you or ruin you, learn to say no. &&70&
You cannot just say yes to anything. You have a functional mind and you
know what is best for you. So learn to say no even if saying no means losing
your friends.
A. Don’t blame others.
B. Have a firm decision.
C. You should know how to deal with it.
D. You can always deal with it positively.
E. Just be straightforward and say it without
hesitation.
F. This does not mean you are being selfish
or you are being self-centered.
G. This can make them believe that you cannot
just be driven by any other thing.With phonetic transcriptions, dictionaries tell you about the
of words. In English dictionaries, phonetic transcriptions are necessary, because the spelling of an English word does not
tell you how you should
Phonetic transcriptions are usually written in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA),
in which each English sound has its own symbol. (You can take a look at a chart with all the
For example, the IPA-based phonetic transcription of
is no?, and the transcription of
Note that in spelling, these words are similar. They both end in the letter o. But their
phonetic transcriptions are different, because they are
differently.
Phonetic transcription is usually given in brackets, like this:
/no?/, /du:/.
In a dictionary, it looks like this:
(By the way, not all dictionaries give the

which has this information.)
Word stress
When a word has many syllables, one of them is always
more strongly. This is called word stress, and
we say that the syllable is stressed. For example, in the word
, the stressed
syllable is
come. If the stressed syllable was be, become would be
Dictionaries tell you which syllable is stressed. The most popular system is to put a vertical line
(') before the stressed syllable in the phonetic transcription of the word.
For example, the transcription for
is /b?'k?m/.
If a word has only one syllable (examples: pen, watch), dictionaries usually do not put the ' stress mark before it. So they don’t write
/'pen/ — they simply write /pen/.
Some dictionaries use other systems for showing word stress. For example, they may put
' after the stressed syllable, or they may underline the stressed syllable.
A demonstration
Have a look at our
You can read the transcriptions of
some English words and listen to their pronunciations at the same time.
Representing differences between British and American English
Many words are pronounced differently in British and American English. Of course, these differences
must be reflected in phonetic transcriptions. There are two basic ways to do this:
Separate transcriptions for British and American English, for example:
BrE /d?t/, AmE /dɑ:t/
BrE /fɑ:m/, AmE /fɑ:rm/
BrE /g??/, AmE /go?/
BrE /'m????/, AmE /'m???r/ (or /'m???/)
This system is used in
from Longman, Oxford and Cambridge.
The problem with this system is that you have to write two transcriptions for most words, which takes up a lot of space.
One “compromise” transcription for both British and American English. This is done by
using mostly British phoneme symbols plus the ? symbol.
In this system, transcriptions are shorter, but
the reader has to know that, in American English,
? changes to ɑ:
and ? changes to r.
This system is used e.g. in the
and in many places on Antimoon.
Should you learn phonetic transcription?
Today, nearly all good English dictionaries have audio recordings. If you can listen to any English word as it is pronounced by a native speaker,
why should you care about phonetic transcriptions? Here are a few reasons:
If you want to have good English pronunciation, you have to learn and practice all the English sounds anyway.
If you’re going to learn each sound
in the , you might as well learn its symbol – it doesn’t take
that much extra effort.
When listening to a recording, sometimes you’re not sure whether you heard
? or ?, ? or ?, s or z, etc.
This can happen due to lack of experience, due to poor audio quality in a particular recording,
or both. Reading the transcription can make things clear because it lets you see all the sounds in a word.
Dictionaries have more transcriptions than recordings. For example, the transcriptions may
show two ways to pronounce a word, but the recording will show only one. If you can read phonetic transcriptions, you can
get more information out of a dictionary.
On the Internet, people use phonetic transcription
to discuss pronunciation problems. If you want to join the discussion, or ask questions, you have to know the transcription system.
There are situations when you cannot listen to sound – for example, the computer you’re using has no speakers,
you don’t want to disturb other people, you are in a noisy environment and can’t hear the sound,
you only have access to a paper dictionary, etc.
Even if you can use audio, a glance at the transcription
can be faster than clicking a button and listening to a recording.
In short, you can learn good English pronunciation without knowing the IPA symbols for English sounds, but learning those symbols is
not that hard and you get a few nice benefits in return.
Warning: Don’t trust phonetic transcriptions too much
While phonetic transcriptions are an incredibly useful tool, they can also be misleading.
To show you what I mean, here are three examples of bad knowledge that you can learn if you trust transcriptions blindly:
Falsehood #1:
“There is a significant difference between the first vowel in away and the vowel in bird.”
Dictionary transcriptions use /?/ for the away vowel and /?:/ for
the bird vowel, which suggests there is an important difference in how they sound. In reality,
that is not the case,
and bird should be transcribed /b?:?d/.
Falsehood #2: “The British and American pronunciations of the vowel in cat are the same.”
Dictionaries use the same /ae/ symbol for both. In reality, the British cat-vowel is more open and should probably be
transcribed /a/.
Falsehood #3: “The American pronunciation of the first vowel in hero is similar to the British
pronunciation of the first vowel in mirror.”
Dictionaries use /'h??r??/ for the British transcription of hero and /'h?ro?/ for the American one.
This suggests the American pronunciation is similar to British mirror /'m?r?/, which is not true.
A better way to represent the American pronunciation of hero would probably be /'hiro?/.
Another problem is that phonetic transcriptions can be out of date.
Sometimes they give old pronunciations that are rare in today’s English. This problem usually concerns
British transcriptions. For example, some dictionaries transcribe moor as /m??/ even though
the word is normally pronounced /m?:/ in modern British English.
Audio recordings are usually more up-to-date.
Here’s a good rule: Don’t take phonetic transcriptions as gospel.
If your ears tell you one thing and dictionary transcriptions tell you another, always trust your ears.
Can you pronounce basic English words?
