It’s always difficult to admit you are in the wrong.Being humans,we all need to know the art of apologizing.Look back with honesty and think how often you’ve judged roughly,said unkind things,and pushed yourself ahead at the expense of a friend.Then count the occasions when you indicated clearly and truly that you were sorry.A bit frightening,isn’t it?Frightening because some deep wisdom in us knows that when even a small wrong has been committed,some mysterious moral feeling is disturbed;and it stays out of balance until fault is acknowledged (承认) and regret is expressed.
I remember a doctor friend,Clarence Lieb,telling me about a man who came to him with a variety of signs:headaches,insomnia and stomach trouble.No physical cause could be found.Finally Dr.Lieb said to the man,“Unless you tell me what’s worrying you,I can’t help you.”
After some hesitation,the man confessed that,as executor (执行者) of his father’s will,he had been cheating his brother,who lived abroad,of his inheritance (遗产).Then and there the wise old doctor made the man write to his brother asking forgiveness and enclosing a cheque as the first step in restoring their good relation.He then went with him to the mailbox in the corridor (走廊).As the letter disappeared,the man burst into tears.“Thank you.” he said,“I think I’m cured.”
A heartfelt apology can not only heal a damaged relationship but also make it stronger.If you can think of someone who deserves
an
apology from
you,someone you
have wronged,or judged too roughly,or just neglected,please do something about it right now.
1.When we have done something wrong,we should________.
A.look honest and think over the fault carefully
B.admit the fault and express the regret
C.escape from being disturbed
D.forgive ourselves and forget it
2.What will happen if we have done something wrong?
A.Our logic of thinking will be disturbed.
B.We shall feel sad.
C.Our moral balance will be disturbed.
D.We shall apologize at once.
3.What exactly was the patient’s trouble?
A.Some unknown physical weakness.
B.Headaches,insomnia and stomach.
C.The losing of a friend.
D.Something wrong with his conscience.
4.The patient was cured by________.
A.asking his brother to forgive him
B.enclosing a cheque
C.writing a letter
D.mailing a letter

Employment practices often reflect the needs of employers several decades ago.Times have changed.And so too has the Canadian workforce.Yet many employment practices have not kept pace with this change.For example,some work environments and washrooms designed for ablebodied workers seldom accommodate people who use a wheelchair.
Modernizing these practices is what employment equality is about.For example,making sure work benches and washrooms are adapted for disabled people entering the workplace,paving the way for workers who become disabled on the job.By doing so,any given group of people formerly discriminated against—now has access to better employment opportunities.
The objective,of course,is to make the workplace reflect Canadian society.However,this does not necessarily mean setting and enforcing quotas (配额).Rather,it means identifying the barriers to employment and designing measures,with achievable goals and clear timetables,to remove them.
For example,according to the Canadian Union of Public Employees—Canada’s largest union,it would be unrealistic in the short term to insist that because half of the working age population is women,half of the employees of an engineering firm should be women.At this moment,there would not be enough qualified female engineers.
A reasonable numerical goal would be based on the number of women who actually are engineers (8%) and those who are studying to become engineers (25%).A short term goal of 13% would be appropriate without running the risk of hiring unqualified people.
Equally important is to ensure people who have been disadvantaged the chance to become qualified for new opportunities.If aboriginal people (土著居民),for example,can’t qualify for certain jobs because they haven’t had access to appropriate educational
opportunities,then an
employment equality program would have to address that problem with training programs.
Employment laws in this country cannot be considered displeasing if they guarantee all Canadians fair and equal access to the workforce.
5.The passage is mainly about how to________.
A.modernize equipment for the disabled at work
B.achieve equality of employment opportunities
C.protect women’s rights in employment
D.complete a job training program
6.The underlined word “them”
in Paragraph 3 refers to________.
A.barriers
B.measures
C.goals
D.timetables
7.The example of women shows that________.
A.only a small percentage of women engineers will get promoted
B.13% of the working age women should be hired as engineers
C.policy makers should adopt a practical and flexible approach
D.the quota of women for employment should be raised
8.The underlined word “address” in Paragraph 6 probably means________.
A.put forward
B.run into
C.find out
D.deal with
Give us a bell 给我打电话
