21. Many people think just saying "I'm sorry" is enough for an apology.
22. People need to take a few important steps to make a truly heartfelt apology effective.
23. The first and most important step is to admit that you have done everything wrong.
24. The second important step is to accept complete responsibility for what both parties did.
25. You should be specific when you acknowledge the injury you have caused the other person(s).
26. Don' t try to look for the other person' s faults in the problem.
27. Forgetting doesn't mean forgiveness. That is something that few people can truly do.
28. Forgiveness means giving up the right to hurt back or hold it over others.
29. Only when words are given with action could they be meaningful.
30. Once trust is broken between people , it could never get repaired.
[Student A] Yes, we do it often in our country.
[Professor] So, could you tell the class something about it?
[Student A] Well, ...it's just...just shaking hands, nothing special.
[Professor] If you think that simply shaking hands is enough, though, then you'd better listen to what I have to say next. How are shake hands is almost as important as the act itself. How you shake hands tells the other person a 10t about you. It's especially so of men!
Here's what I mean. A limp or weak handshake by a man has the same meaning as no handshake at all. The message is: "I'm not very interested in you." Think about this, because I know that some of you may come from cultures that accept limp handshakes as normal. Here, even if you don't intend to, you may send the wrong message.
Is the best way, then, to use all your muscles and crush -- and possibly hurt -- the other person's hand? The message behind this kind of handshake is aggressiveness and a desire to compete. Unless you specifically want to communicate these feeling to the other person, you don't have to shake hands with all your strength. One more type of male handshake that can send the wrong message is the half handshake. Here, only the front half of the fingers is offered to the other person's hand. The message is that you have little confidence, that you're shy. "I'm not a strong or courageous person." That's what a half handshake says. Ok, do you have anything to say?
[Student B] Yes, I've never thought there are so many things underlying such a simple social activity. But how about the women? They also shake hands.
[professor] You are right. Let's look now at how it is for women. Until recently, women in many countries felt no great need to shake hands during introductions. That's changed as more and more women are working in business, government and academia. The way that women used to shake hands with men was to give only half the hand -- that is, the fingers only. This gave little impression or message, at least to men. Nowadays, women are having to learn again how to shake hands. Now, women are beginning to offer all of the hand -- the fingers and palm. The other person's hand is held and shaken firmly but not too hard. This communicates to the other person more of a feeling of competence or strength than the old-fashioned way of doing it.
[Student B] How long should you shake hands? I mean, does the length of time have any significance?
[Professor] That's fight: the length of time you shake hands also says something about you. If a man lets go of the other person's hand too quickly, what kind of message do you think that sends? Releasing your hand quite soon indicates that you don't want to get too involved or you're not very interested in the other person. That goes for both women and men. However, it's both more acceptable and more common for two men to shake hands for a longer time, even as long as six or seven seconds. The message in this case is "I like you" and generally indicates that the two men think they'll get on well.

听力原文: The process of adjusting to life in a new country is often called "culture shock". The word culture as used here has a different meaning rather than it usually does. Frequently, the word culture pertains to music, literature, art, and higher education. Here, though, culture means the customs of a society and the way in which people interact with each other.
Every culture has certain basic ideas on which it is built and which everyone accepts as true. These are learned in childhood and are automatic to the people who live in that culture. They include everything from the common courtesies and details of daily life to the deeper issues of a person's place in society, of family, of life and death, and even of the attitude toward time and space.
When a person enters a new culture, the basic customs and ideas that he or she automatically accepted may no longer be true. There is a new set of customs and attitudes to learn about and try to understand. During this period of adjustment a person feels a great range of emotions, from happiness and excitement to loneliness, anger, discouragement, and depression. This period of "culture shock" has been described as having approximately seven stages.

A.He should start to learn the local language.
B.He should learn about and comprehend the new customs and try to adjust himself.
C.He should adapt himself to the new environment.
D.He should make efforts to restrain his emotions.
Salovey tells of a simple test. Some four-year-old kids were invited into a room and were given the following instruction: " You can have this marshmallow right now; or if you wait, you can have two marshmallows when I get back. " Then, the researcher left. Some kids grabbed for the treat as soon as the researcher was out the door, while others waited for the researcher to return. By the time the kids reached high school, significant differences appeared between the two groups. The kids who held out for two marshmallows were better adjusted, more popular, more adventurous, more confident, and more dependable than kids in the quick gratification group. The latter group was also more likely to be lonely, more easily frustrated, more stubborn, more likely to buckle under stress, and more likely to shy away from challenges. When both groups took scholastic aptitude tests, the "hold out group" walloped the "quick gratification group" by 210 points (the test scores range from a minimum of 200 points to a maximum of 800, with an average for all students of 500 points).
Researchers have been discussing whether it' s possible to raise a person' s IQ. Geneticists say No, while social scientists say Yes. But while brain power researchers continue the debate, social science researchers have concluded that it's possible to improve a person' s EQ, and in particular, a person' s "people skills, " such as empathy, graciousness, and the ability to "read" a social situation.
According to the social scientists, there is little doubt that people without sufficient EQ will have a hard time surviving in life. EQ is perhaps best observed in people described as either pessimists or optimists. Optimistic people have high EQ and treat obstacles as minor, while the pessimistic people have low-EQ and personalizes all setbacks. In social research circles, EQ denotes one' s ability to survive, and it' s here that there may be an overlap between EQ, IQ, genetics and environment. As to that, I am reminded of the words of Darwin, "The biggest, the smartest, and the strongest are not the survivors. Rather, the survivors are the most adaptable. " Those of us who survive and thrive in this complex world are not only the most adaptable, but also the most optimistic and the most likely to have a high EQ.
EQ gets you promoted, not because________.
A.a person with high EQ is better adjusted
B.a person with high EQ is more stubborn
C.a person with high EQ is more confident
D.A person with high EQ is more popular

听力原文: Remembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it.
When you hear a person's name, repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.
Ask the other person to recite and repeat.
You can let other people help you remember their names. After you've been introduced to someone, ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort you're making to learn their names.
Admitting that you can't remember someone's name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy if you say, "I'm working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again?"
Link each person yon meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example, you could make a mental note: "Vicki Cheng — tall, black hair." To reinforce your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.
When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names.
Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. That's fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others — an automatic review for you.
Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. How will most people feel when you try hard to remember their names?
27. What may you do if you can't remember someone's name?
28. What is it better to do when you meet a group of people?
