Chances are that you've had to apologize plenty of times in your life. And there's a good chance that you've also expressed the phrase, "I never meant to hurt you." Stop doing that, says author Caroline Myss. In a talk Myss - a spiritual researcher - took on the topic of forgiveness and healing, and explained in no uncertain terms why "I never meant to hurt you" is never a sufficient apology, n。 matter who it comes from. "Picture that person coming up to you and saying, 'Wow, l'm sorry I did this, but, you know ,l never meant to hurt you. And, hey, can we just call it a day?"' Myss says. Though it can make the two bur\ the hatchet and keep friendship, that type of apology won't sit well with the person on the receiving end. "That whole little thing - 'I never meant to hurt you' - that's the thing you can't forgive," she says. "It goes right to your soul, that toxic (育毒的,中毒的 ) , sick feeling." Instead, Myss says it's important to approach the conversation differently. Basically, it's about offering more than an apology. It's about sharing a soul-to-soul confession (仟悔) . "Let's redo the scene," Myss says. "The person comes up to you and says... 'I need to tell you something. I consciously knew what I was doing. I know I went against you. This is not an apology. 1 am confessing my soul to you, and l'm asking now for your forgiveness."' Even saying those words on stages makes Myss visibly emotional, and she points out that this is how deeply apologies within the soul are supposed to resonate (引起共鸣) . "That's what heals," she says. ' . 24. What does Myss think of the expression "I never meant to hurt you"? A. It must put the friendship to an end. ' B. It is a great way to express the apology. c. It doesn't have any effect on restoring the relation. D. It can't express the apology thoroughly and sincerely. 25. What does the underlined phrase "bury the hatchet" mean?

We should say sincerely "I never meant to hurt you". C. We can go into a deep conversation to argue with our friend. D. We are supposed to make up with the other by giving some gifts to him. 27.

Zebra crossings - the alternating dark and light stripes on the road surface - are meant t。 remind drivers that pedestrians may be trying to get across. Unfortunately, they are not very effective. A 1998 study done by the Department of Traffic Planning and Engineering at Sweden's Lund Univers ity revealed that three out of four drivers maintained the same speed or even speeded up as they were approaching a crossing. Even worse? Only 5% stopped even when they saw someone trying to get across. Now a mother-daughter team in Ahmedabad, India has come up with a clever way to get drivers to pay more attention - A 3-D zebra crossing with an optical illusion (视错觉) . Artists Saumya Pandya Thakkar and Shakuntala Pandya were asked to paint the crosswalks by IL&FS, an Indian company that manages the highways in Ahmedabad. The corporation was looking for a creative solution to help the city's residents to cross the busy accident-prone (易出事故的) roads safely. Thakkar and Pandya, who had previously seen images of3-D zebra crossings that gave drivers the illusion of logs(原木)of wood on the streets in Taizhou, China, decided to test if a similar way would work in India. Sure enough, in the six months that the 3-D crosswalks have been painted across four of the city's most dangerous highways, there have been no accidents reported! The artists say that while it may appear that the zebra crossing could cause the drivers to brake suddenly and endanger the vehicles behind, such is not the case. Because of the way the human eye works, the illusion is only visible from a distance. As they get closer, the painting looks just like any other ordinary zebra crossing. The creators hope that their smart design will become increasingly common throughout India and perhaps even the world. So let's look for ward to it. 32. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. Most drivers will slow down at zebra crossings B Common zebra crossings don't function well C Drivers have to stop when approaching zebra crossings D. About 95% of the drivers choose to speed up when approaching zebra crossings 33. Why do drivers seeing the 3-D zebra crossings slow down? A. Because the drivers consider the safety of pedestrians B Because the drivers mistake them for logs of wood On the streets C. Because the drivers are afraid of being fined for breaking the traffic rules D. Because the drivers don't want to brake suddenly and endanger the vehicles behind 34. The last paragraph is mainly about____ A. the theory of the 3-D zebra crossings B. the popularity of the 3-D zebra crossings C. the shortcoming of the 3-D zebra crossings D. the positive effect of the 3-D zebra crossings 35. What is the author's attitude towards the 3-D zebra crossings? A. Cautious B Doubtful C. Approving D. Disapproving
