Passage Four
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.
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 render 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 method by which people 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 was 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 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 resort to these pseudo-apologies.
But even when presented with examples of genuine contrition, children still need help to become a ware of the complexities of saying sorry. A three-year-old might need help in understanding 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 raiding the biscuit tin without asking permission is acceptable, but that borrowing a parent’s clothes without permission is not.
36.If a mother adds ”but” to an apology,________.
A．she doesn’t feel that she should have apologized
B．she does not realize that the child has been hurt
C．the child may find the apology easier to accept
D．the child may feel that he owes her an apology

听力原文：W: Hello, sir. What can I do for you？
M: Hi, I have this cassette player here. I bought it about six months ago. And it just ruined four of my favorite jazz cassettes, not including other kinds.
W: Oh dear, I'm sorry.
M: So I wanted you to fix it. I'm sure it will be no problem, right？
W: Your sales slip, please？
M: Yeah, here it is.
W: I'm sorry, sir. Your warranty's expired.
M: Well, it ran out ten days ago, but I'm sure that you'll...you'll...fix the machine for free, because the machine was obviously defective when I bought it. I...
W: I'm sorry, sir. Your warranty has run out. There's nothing I can do:
M: No. No, look. No. I didn't drop it off a building or anything. I mean, what difference can ten days make？ I mean you... you can.
W: Sir, I'm sorry, we have the six -month rule for a reason. We can't...
M: Well, but you can bend the rule a little bit.
W: Make an exception for you. Then we'll have to make an exception for everybody. You could say it's only a month, it's only two months.
M: I just lost twenty dollars worth of tapes.
W: Sir, I'm sorry, it's too late.
M: Paying for this is adding insult to injury. I mean, surely you're going to make good on this cassette player. It's...it's...it's a good cassette player, but it's just defective. I mean, I can't pay for this.
W: Well, sir, I'm tarry, you should have brought it in earlier.
M: But surely you won't hold me to ten days on this.
W: Sir, the rules are the rules. I'm sorry, hut there's nothing I can do.

M: What do you think about the lecture rooms here？
W: Not so good, I'm afraid. They are too small for one thing. Sometimes we can hardly find a seat.
M: Ok, thank you. This is definitely a problem. How do you feel about the car parking facilities？ Are they adequate？
W: You must be joking. I can never find a car parking space when I need one, and when I finally do, it's very long walk to the university's teaching building.
M: I'm really sorry for that. What about the Computer Center then？
W: I think it's first class. The software base contains a large selection of learning programs, language games and word-processing facilities.
M: Is the service there good？
W: Yes. There are qualified staff who can offer help to us while we work.
M: Oh, good. Well, what do you think of the library facilities？
W: I'm sorry to have to say, but I think the room has poor lighting and the opening time is inconvenient although it is well-stocked.
M: Thank you. Now let's go to the photocopying facilities.
W: I think it's too expensive for photocopying and there are not enough machines. Sometimes we have to stand in a line.
M: Thank you very much. We will try to get these problems solved as soon as we can.
