题文
阅读理解。 It is impossible not to make a mistake at some point of your life. We may as well accept that somethingwill go wrong and we will be to blame. It is therefore sensible to work out some plans for apologizing, and
the best way to apologize is by letter. This way you can take care over every word you write-which you
can't do if you say sorry to someone in person.
We all say or do something that we wish we hadn't said or done. You may say something that accidentally
hurts someone, or you may provide a service which doesn't come up to the standards that a cheat or customer
expected.
You may feel that it was a mistake which couldn't be avoided. Rather than dwell on the mistake, you should
quickly try to remedy (补救) the problem. An effective letter of apology is an important part of that process.
For the content of the letter, just remember TABS-Timing, Action, Brevity, Sincerity.
The timing of a letter of apology is crucial-it must be sent as soon as possible. Any delay in sending the
letter will only compound the problem. In this case, "better late than never" is not the best motto! The longer
you wait before writing a letter of apology, the more it will seem that you have been forced into writing it.
Although it is important to recognize what has gone before, it is also necessary to detail the action you plan
to take to rectify whatever it was you did wrong. Research has shown that some indication that you have
thought about what future action you plan to take is always well received.
A letter of apology should be brief and the word "sorry" should appear no more than twice. Indicate that
you are aware you are using it a second time "once again, I'm so sorry for" or "as I said early, I'm so sorry
about." Finally, the tone of the letter has to be sincere. In fact, all the above factors will help in this respect.
And don't think that letters are out of date in the Email-oriented 21st century. An apology email can be
worse than no apology at all! 1. What kind of advice does the text suggest about apologizing? A. It's a good idea to write a letter of apology as soon as something goes wrong.
B. It's a good idea to sends several emails to apologize and show that you mean it.
C. Write a long letter apologizing several times to make your point.

日常生活类阅读的概念：
日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作，生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时，最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容，时间和地点。
日常生活类阅读题答题技巧：
【题型说明】
该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。
【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点：
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。
2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
