It’s never easy to admit you are in the wrong. Being human, we all need to know the art of apologizing. Look back with honesty and think how often you’ve judged roughly, said C)unkind things, pushed yourself ahead at the expense of a friend.
Then count the occasions when you indicated clearly and K)truly that you were sorry. A bit frightening, isn’t it? Frightening because some deePwisdom in us knows that when even a small wrong has been committed, some mysterious moral feeling is N)disturbed, and it stays out of balance until fault is acknowledged and D)regret is expressed. (Frightening... and it stays...。這個句子實際是省略了it is的一個帶有復雜原因狀語從句的句子。原因從句中包含了一個由and 引導的并列賓語從句,在第一個賓語從句中又有一個由when引導的時間狀語從句,而在第二個賓語從句中包含一個由until引導的時間狀語從句。)
I remember a doctor friend, telling me about a man who came to him with a variety of signs: headaches, insomnia and stomach trouble. No H)physical cause could be found. Finally my friend said to the man, "Unless you tell me what’s worrying you, I can’t helPyou."After some hesitation, the man F)confessed that, as executor of his faher’s will, he had been cheating his brother, who lived abroad, of his G)inheritance. Then and there the wise old doctor made the man write to his brother asking M)forgiveness and enclosing a cheque as the first stePin restoring their good relation. He then went with him to mail box in the corridor.
As the letter disappeared, the man burst into tears. "Thank you," He said, "I think I’m I)cured." And he was. A heartfelt apology can not only A)heal a damaged relationshiPbut also make it stronger. If you can think of someone who deserves an apology from you, someone you have weonged, or just neglected, do something about it right now.(If you can think... or just neglected...。這是一個復合句,If引導條件狀語從句,條件從句中包含兩個賓語從句,一個是由who引導的定語從句,另一個是省略了關系代詞的定語從句,即you have wronged, or just neglected。)
