When I asked her husband for his side of the story, he said apologizing would not have repaired the damage "So what good does it do?" he wondered The good it does is to cement the relationship By saying he was sorry - and saying it as if he meant it – he would have conveyed that he felt bad about letting her down Showing that you empathize provides the element of contrition, remorse, or repentance that is central to apologies - as does the promise to make amends and not repeat the offense In the absence of these, why should the wife trust her husband not to it again? Apologies can be equally powerful in day-to-day situations at work One company manager told me that they were magic bullets When he admitted to subordinates that he had made a mistake and then expressed remorse, they not only forgave him but became even more loyal Conversely, when I asked people what most frustrated them in their work lives, co-workers refusing to admit fault was a frequent answer (Adapted from Contrite Makes Right in Civilization Magazine by Deborah Tannen) 44 Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A The husband was aware of the benefits of apologies B The husband's ignorance of the wife's telephone message made her angry C The wife got the impression that her husband didn't care D The wife forgot to send an important text message to her husband 46 The word inclined in paragraph is closest in meaning to A scared B willing C ready D likely C the damage D the story 47 The word itb> in paragraph refers to A relationship B apologizing 48 The phrase magic bullets in paragraph is closest in meaning to A unnecessary skills B underlying motivations C effective solutions D enormous obstacles 49 Which of the following is NOT true about apologies according to the passage? A More apologies are offered by women than men in American society B Apologies made by the manager led to his employees' frustration C Apologies are similar to promises not to repeat wrongdoings D Apologies help to repair strained relationships without physical force 50 Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A Inability to make apologies indicates self-confidence B Most apologies are shallow, empty and meaningless C Sincere apologies help strengthen relationships, both in the family and in the workplace D Awareness of the power of apologies does not always mean willingness to say sorry ĐỀ THI THỬ TỐT NGHIỆP THPT 2023 KÌ THI TỐT NGHIỆP TRUNG HỌC PHỔ THÔNG NĂM 2023 Bài thi: NGOẠI NGỮ; Môn thi: TIẾNG ANH SỞ GIÁO DỤC VÀ ĐÀO TẠO PHÚ THỌ (LẦN 2) -
