There are also clips from her latest video, concert ticket information and links to her favorite websites. Curitel expects

31、the handsets, which use the GSM phone network, to be available in US retail stores in early 2004, and later throughout the world. Different colored faceplates could be worth U.S. 1 billion in annual sales worldwide. With the new faceplates, Wildseed hopes to change the way the wireless phone industr

32、y sells to the MTV audience. Some phone carriers are in a competitive money-losing spiral of offering customers free monthly minutes. So, the additional income from downloads is crucial. As adult subscriptions reach their maximum limit, wireless phone carriers are hot for the young people. Targeting

33、 young customers is necessary because it is the only market that shows significant interest in using wireless phones for more than just talking.

But how you say it can be quite tricky. If

40、you say to your children “Im 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 apo

41、logy. Another method by which people appear to apologize without actually doing so is to say “Im sorry youre 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 nec

42、essity 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 “Im useless as a parent“ does not commit a person lo any specific improvement. These pseudo-apologies are used by people who believe sayin

43、g 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 aware of the complexities of saying s

44、orry. 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 childrens expectations can require an apology. A twelve-year-

46、as been hurt （ C） the child may find the apology easier to accept （ D） the child may feel that he owes her an apology 52 According to the author, saying “Im sorry youre upset“ most probably means “_“. （ A） You have good reason to get upset （ B） Im aware youre upset, but Im not to blame （ C） I apolog

47、ize for hurting your feelings （ D） Im at fault for making you upset 53 It is not advisable to. use the general, all-covering apology because _. （ A） it gets one into the habit of making empty promises （ B） it may make the other person feel guilty （ C） it is vague and ineffective （ D） it is hurtful a

48、nd insulting 54 We learn from the last paragraph that in teaching children to say sorry _. （ A） the complexities involved should be ignored （ B） their ages should be taken into account （ C） parents need to set them a good example （ D） parents should be patient and tolerant 55 It can be inferred from
