I consider myself something of an expert on apologies. A quick temper has
36
me with plenty of opportunities to make them. In one of my earliest 37 , my mother is telling me , “Don’t watch the
38
when you say, ‘I’m sorry’. Hold your head up and look at the person in the 39 , so he’ll know you
40
it.”
My mother thus made the key point of a(n)
41
apology: it must be direct. You must never
42
to be doing something else. You do not
43
a pile of letters while apologizing to a person
44
in position after blaming him or her for a mistake that turned out to be your
45
. You do not apologize to a hostess, whose guest of honor you treat
46
, by sending flowers the next day without mentioning your bad
47
.
One of the important things we should do for an
48
, apology is a readiness to
49
the responsibility for our careless mistakes .We are used to making excuses ,which leaves no
50
for the other person to
51
us .Since most people are open-hearted ,the no-excuse apology leaves both parties feeling
52
about themselves .That ,after all ,is the
53
of every apology .It
54
little whether the apologizer is wholly or only partly a fault :answering for one’s
55
encourages others to take their share of the blame.

Five years later, Michael left teaching to develop one of the first luxury rental buildings on the Lower East Side, on property owned by Leslie’s family. He fell in love with the rich cultural and social mix of the
36
, where waves of immigrants had settled since the early 19th century. At the time, Tompkins Square Park, across the street, was filled with
37
people living in temporary huts. When Leslie spotted a flock of pigeons
38
in an area of the tall apartments that Michael said would be their master bedroom, she thought her husband had
39
his mind.
When the family
40
in, Ripton, adopted as an infant, was six. Morgan, also adopted, joined the family two years later. Soon the park was closed, to be a(n)
41
showplace of playgrounds and green space. Michael made significant money in the real estate and Leslie joined a gym practice. The family enjoyed
42
vacations in the winter and summers on Shelter Island.
The five boys who came to play video games changed everything. “In the
43
, it was just a lot of kids swarming all over the place,” says Michael. When the Rosens
44
Carlos wasn’t attending school because he didn’t have suitable clothes, they bought him some. Then one night, they took the group to a
45
after a Chinese dinner and realized there were other needs. “The boys had no interest in books at all,” Michael says. Back at the penthouse, he
46
they sit down to read aloud. “Their vocabularies were limited,” he says. “But my concept of what is smart and what is not changed that night because these kids were all smart
47
just uneducated.”
The boys still slept at their homes, though they spent after-school hours, most weekends and summer nights at the penthouse. There, a half-hour reading period before video games or television started. The kitchen timer was set, and everyone had to
48
the words they didn’t know. One summer, Michael took all the boys to the library; each got a card and picked a
49
to study. Will, Michael remembers, chose bodybuilding. A poet friend of the Rosens’ suggested buying copies of Moby Dick and reading it together around the dining-room table. “Well, it was
50
,” admits Michael. “That book is not written in a language these kids speak. But we kept pushing and pushing.”
51
the big boys became a complete part of the Rosen household, even helping to light the candles at Hanukkah. Chores were assigned, including cleaning and
52
Mr. Jenkins, the family dog.
The boys’ own families were
53
by what was happening. “My mom didn’t believe me when I told her about the penthouse. She thought I was involved with something
54
.” Juan Carlos’s mother, Esther Ruiz, wondered, “Why would the Rosens be doing this?” But as time went on, she noticed
55
in her son. “It wasn’t just the streets anymore. He was getting responsible. Michael and Leslie are the best.”

Our coach (教练) , Tony Severino, came out of his office at 6 o’clock. He told the team how 7 this game was for the season between two of the state’s top teams—my school and our opposing team, Liberty High School. His words gave the team impulse (冲动) to 8 .
At 7: 10 p. m. , warm-ups finished, we went over the game 9 and discussed what we needed to do for the next three hours.

Breathing in the 19 of one of the biggest game of the year, I felt we were sure to win.
