This is the space where we sit and stand. Everyone feels different about their personal spaces. People may feel uncomfortable or angry when someone they don’t know gets too close.
We should respect all spaces. We should respect public spaces. We can’t leave a mess or take anything that doesn’t belong to us. It’s important to leave no trace（痕迹）in public spaces.

（2022·江苏连云港·统考二模）If we want to grow as people, we cannot just depend on our own evaluation (评价) of how we are doing. We also need to know what other people think about our performance. Receiving feedback (反馈) from others can help us see the larger picture and show us a way to success. However, someone has to give that feedback, and sometimes, that someone will be you. How should you deal with this?
First, if you notice a situation in which some feedback would be helpful, give it as soon as you can. If you wait until the matter disappears from the person’s mind, they might not understand what you’re trying to tell them. Take the person to a safe, comfortable place and offer your advice in private (私下地).
Second, when you’re giving feedback, it’s important to keep in mind that no one likes to be told they’re doing a bad job. Make sure you give an equal (相等的) amount of good feedback to balance out (平衡) anything bad. Like the saying goes, “A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down”.
All good feedback shares something in common. First, it should help achieve a goal. It’s less useful to tell your friends that their dish tastes “interesting” than to suggest adding a little salt. Feedback should also look toward the future. You can’t change what’s already happened, but you can prevent it from happening again. Tell your friends they should take more notes in class instead of talking about how they should have studied harder for a big exam they failed.
Finally, don’t think your suggestion is the only correct way to deal with a situation. You might even get some feedback on your feedback. Don’t get unhappy at this — it can only help you give better advice next time.
12．Why is feedback from others important for us?
A．We are not doing well in our study or work.
B．Receiving feedback from others may help us succeed.
C．Other people’s ideas about our performance are always correct.
D．Feedback is the most important for teenagers to grow as people.
13．Why is it important to give feedback in time according to Paragraph 2?
A．You might forget to tell the person later.
B．Perhaps the person wants the feedback right away.
C．Maybe the person needs time to understand your advice.
D．If you wait too long, the person might forget what’s happened.
14．What can we infer (推断) from the underlined saying in Paragraph 3?
A．It’s difficult to do a good job all the time.
B．It’s helpful to keep on giving bad feedback.
C．It’s better to balance good and bad feedback.
D．It’s important to think twice before giving feedback.
15．What is the text mainly about?
A．The characters included in good feedback.
B．The way for people to give feedback properly.
C．The differences between good and bad feedback.
D．The importance of giving and receiving feedback.

We had a good time that day, for the delicious meal and great service. The gift card covered most of the checks（账单）and I would pay for the rest by myself.  There were only two bills（钞票）in my wallet.

（2022·江苏宿迁·统考二模）On March 21, 2022, China Eastern Airlines Flight MU5735 crashed in Tengxian county, in Guangxi. CAAC issued a preliminary report on April, 20. The black boxes were severely damaged and data（数据）retrieval is underway.
Do you know black boxes?
Black boxes are special instruments. They are mainly used on planes to record all in flight information. They are recorders for the purpose of making it easier to know how the accidents happened in flight.
An airplane actually has two black boxes. The flight data recorder catches the information, which can discover whether human error or instrument problems contributed to an accident. The cockpit（驾驶舱）voice recorder records pilot voices and cockpit sounds.
The black boxes are not black. They are painted bright orange to make them easy to see after accidents. Because the instruments are often burned and turned into black after air accidents. People often call them black boxes. The outside is with stripes of reflective tape（反光带）. The black boxes are usually placed in the tail of a plane where they are more likely to survive a crash. A flight data recorder is required to store at least 25 hours of flight information. A cockpit voice recorder is required to record at least 2 hours of audio information.
For the black boxes to survive a crash, they are built to be waterproof, fireproof, shockproof, heat and pressure and corrosion resistant（耐腐蚀）. The black boxes must be able to hold 3,400 times the force of gravity, when the airplane goes down at the speed of about 500 km/h. They can survive in as deep as 6,000 meters underwater or a very high temperature-one hour at 1,100 degrees centigrade. They can send signals（信号）for one month so that people can find them.
How is data from black boxes picked up? It needs special skills to physically bring the black boxes back. Investigators（调查者）may need to clean and dry the black boxes and download data from them. It takes time to download and get the information from data. If the storing units go wrong, it will take longer time, either days or months.
So, the black boxes are very important to explain to everyone what happened during the flight.
22．What can black boxes do?
A．Help the pilots drive the plane. B．Keep passengers feel comfortable during flying.
C．Avoid air accidents. D．Record some information about plane.

A．Black boxes can keep sending signals for less than a month.
B．It takes time to download data from the black boxes.
C．Black boxes are painted black with stripes of reflective tape.
D．One black box is in the head of a plane and the other is in the tail.
24．In Paragraph 6, the writer uses numbers to show ________.
A．the black boxes are strong enough
B．the black boxes can help the plane land safely
C．the black boxes can tell people the cause of the accident
D．the black boxes can hold a lot of information about the plane
25．This passage mainly tells us ________.
A．how long black boxes work B．how black boxes pick up data

（2022·江苏宿迁·统考二模）Scrooge was a cold, greedy（贪婪的）, mean（吝啬的）, old man! The cold within him froze his old face. It made his eyes red and his thin lips blue. And it spoke out in his unkind voice. A frost（霜）covered his head, his eyebrows, and his pointed chin. His office is quite cold even at Christmas.
Nobody ever stopped Scrooge in the street to say. “My dear Scrooge. How are you?” No beggars(乞丐) asked him for a penny. No children asked him. “What time is it?” No man or woman ever asked Scrooge for directions. And even dogs ran away from him.
Once upon a time, on Christmas Eve, old Scrooge sat in his office. It was a cold and foggy day. He could hear the people outside, stamping their feet on the pavement to warm themselves. It was only three o’clock, but it was already quite dark. The candles were flickering（闪烁）in the windows of the neighbouring offices. The fog poured in through every keyhole. It was so thick that you could hardly see the houses on the other side of the street.
The door of Scrooge’s office was open so that he could keep his eye on his clerk（职员）, Bob Cratchit. Bob sat in a cold, dark and small room. He was writing letters. Scrooge had a very small fire, but Bob’s fire was even smaller. Bob couldn’t add any more coal because Scrooge kept the coal box in his room. So Bob put on his winter woolen scarf and tried to warm himself by the candle.
“Merry Christmas, Uncle, and God bless you!” cried a happy voice. It was Scrooge’s nephew（侄子）Fred.
“Bah!” said Scrooge. “Humbug（谎话）!”
“Christmas is a humbug, Uncle!” said Scrooge’s nephew. “You don’t mean that, I’m sure.” “I do,” said Scrooge. “Merry Christmas! What reason have you got to be happy? You’re poor to be happy.”
“Oh,” said his nephew, laughing. “What reason have you got to be sad? You’re rich enough. Don’t be angry. Uncle!” said his nephew.
“What else can I be?” replied Scrooge. “I live in a world of fools. Merry Christmas! What’s Christmas time to you? It’s a time for paying bills without money. It’s a time for finding yourself a year older, but no richer,” said Scrooge.

（2022·江苏南京·校联考二模）Whether you’re thinking about starting a reading group or you are a longtime book club leader, there are many ways to help make a discussion successful. Here are some suggestions:
Do some preparation work
It always helps when discussion leaders do a bit of research before the meeting. First, it’s necessary that you read the book! Pay attention to things you can bring up during the discussion. Using an index card (索引卡) as a bookmark makes it easy to write down notes and questions while you read.
After you have finished, do a little research. Find and read a couple of reviews and interviews with the author. Write down discussion questions or see if you can find ready-made questions online. If the book is about a real person, event, or place, you might want to check the web for some overview material you can bring to the discussion.
Tips for leading the discussion
Ask open-ended questions. These are questions that usually begin with “why” or “how”. For example, instead of asking, “Did you like the book’s ending?” ask, “What did you think of the book’s ending?”
Don’t be afraid to encourage group members to elaborate on (详尽阐述) their comments. If someone says they hated the book or loved a particular character, ask why.
Listen carefully. Of course, this goes for both leaders and participants, but if you’re a leader it’s especially important so that you can ask proper follow-up questions. Instead of jumping to the next question on your list, ask a question that links to the previous answer or helps build a good conversation.
Keep the discussion moving. If the talk starts to go off on a tangent (突然离题), focus it back to the book. If one person monopolize (垄断) the conversation, it’s OK to break in, acknowledge their point and ask what other group members think.
Prepare questions. Aim to have about 15 questions ready, but be flexible. If the group is engaged and talking about the book, you’ve done your job. You don’t have to get to every question.
34．What does a discussion leader do before the meeting?
A．Interview the author. B．Break in the discussion.
C．Take notes while reading. D．Write some book reviews.
35．How many tips does the writer give to lead the discussion?
A．2. B．3. C．4. D．5.
36．Which of the following is the best question in the discussion?
A．Is this book interesting? B．How often do you read per week?
C．Do you like the book’s beginning? D．Why do you like the main character?

（2022·江苏南京·校联考二模）All over the world, people find giraffes amazing. The giraffe is the tallest animal in the world. Its legs and tail are taller than most people. Its tongue is very long, 18 inches. The front part of its tongue is an unusual color, black. Unlike most other large animals, giraffes do not threaten (威胁) people. Yet to many scientists the most amazing thing about this gentle giant is its heart.
To understand how amazing the giraffe’s heart is, put your head lower than your heart. Keep it there for a few minutes. Then lift your head up very quickly. Do you feel dizzy? This is the effect of a change in blood pressure. The heart has to quickly pump blood to your brain to stop you from feeling dizzy or from fainting.
When a giraffe lifts its head up from the ground, it has to lift its 250-kilo neck more than 15 feet in the air. How can it do this without fainting? The giraffe’s heart is really large. It is almost two feet long and weighs about 10 kilos. It can pump 60 liters of blood in a minute. The large artery (动脉) that carries blood from the heart up the long neck of the giraffe is also unusual because it has a muscle in it. This muscle helps keep the giraffe’s blood pressure.
In 1988, a writer, Michael Allin, learned that a giraffe arrived in Marseille, a city in the south of France, in 1826. It was a gift to the king of France Charles X. He decided to go to Ethiopia, in East Africa, where the giraffe was born. He traveled to Egypt on the Nile River. This was the same way the giraffe came to Egypt where he discovered the reason for the gift. Muhammad Ali, an important Egyptian leader, did not want the French to enter a war. He sent the giraffe to King Charles X.
However, it was difficult to transport a giraffe in 1826. It traveled from Egypt to France on a ship. The giraffe was so tall that it couldn’t fit in the lower deck of the ship. This was quite a problem until someone decided to cut a hole in the top deck of the ship. The giraffe’s legs were below, and its long neck came up through the hole.
No one knew how to get such a large animal from Marseille to Paris, so the giraffe had to walk the 880 kilometers. All along the way, people came to watch the gentle giant. Six weeks after it left Marseille, the giraffe finally arrived in Paris, where 100,000 people came to see this amazing creature. Today, we still look at the giraffe in amazement. There is no other animal like it on earth.
41．What is unusual about the artery in a giraffe’s neck?
A．It has a muscle in it. B．It has an unusual colour.
C．It weighs 10 kilos. D．It carries blood to the legs.
42．The writer explains how amazing the giraffe’s heart is in Paragraph 3 mainly by ________.
A．telling stories B．showing steps
C．giving numbers D．expressing opinions
43．Muhammad Ali gave the giraffe to ________.
A．the French people B．the Egyptian leader
C．the French writer D．the king of France
44．What did they do to transport the giraffe by ship?

C．They built another new ship. D．They cut the taller deck off the ship.

……

That evening Holmes again wore different clothes, and a large, black hat. But it was not just the clothes that were different. He changed his face, his hair—everything. He was a different man.
We walked together to Serpentine Avenue. Outside the house there were a lot of people who were smoking, laughing and talking. Holmes and I walked up and down in front of the house.
“You see,” said Holmes to me, “I don’t think she wants her new husband to see the photo. But where is it? At her bank? No. Such a woman likes to keep important things herself. I’m sure it’s in her house.”
“But the King’s men tried to find it!” I said.
“Yes. But they didn’t know where to look for it!” said Holmes. “But how will you know?” I asked. “She’ll show me. She’ll have to.”
Just then Irene’s taxi arrived. One of the men in the street ran to open the door and then another man pushed him. Other men were also pushing and shouting, and a fight began. Irene was in the middle of it, but Holmes ran to help her. Then suddenly he fell to the ground, with blood running down his face. Irene hurried to her front door, but she looked back. “How kind of him to help me! Is the poor man hurt?” she called.
“He’s dead,” cried some voices. “No, he’s only hurt,” cried others. “Bring him into the living room,” she said.
Some people carried Holmes into the house. I waited outside the window and watched. I saw how beautiful Irene was. Then Holmes put up his hand, and I threw the smoke-stick into the room. At once, the people in the street and in the house all began to shout “Fire!” very loudly. The house was full of smoke. I walked away, and ten minutes later Holmes came to meet me.
“Well done, Watson,” he said. “Have you got the photo?” I asked.
“I know where it is. She showed me,” he answered. “But why did she show you?”
“It’s easy,” he said, and laughed. “You saw all those people in the street? I paid them to help us. It wasn’t a real fight and the blood wasn’t real. When people shout ‘Fire!’ a woman runs to the most important thing in her house, her baby, her gold, or…a photo. Irene ran to find her photo which is in a cupboard in the living room. I saw it. But I did not take it. Tomorrow we will go to the palace and tell it to the King first. And then we will go to her house with the King. We’ll go very early, before she gets up.

（2022·江苏泰州·统考二模）Have you ever bought Genki Forest (元气森林) sparkling water because it’s advertised as “sugar-free”?
The company said that the drinks are “sucrose-free” (零蔗糖), but this is not the same as “sugar-free”. Now the company then apologized for its misleading advertisement.
In fact, there are many kinds of sugar. Sucrose is just one of them. Other kinds of sugar, such as fructose (果糖) and sugar alcohol (糖醇), are still in Genki Forest drinks. These types of sugar are used as sweeteners (甜味剂). They offer little energy, but a small amount of them can make drinks taste sweet. That’s why diet drinks like Genki Forest are popular among people who want to lose weight.
However, studies find that sweetners might make people eat more. When you eat sweet-tasting things, it sends your brain a “sweet signal”. Then your brain tells your body to prepare itself to take in energy. But since the diet soft drink has little energy, the brain will not receive what is expecting. At this time, you will feel hungry and start getting energy by eating more food.
According to China Daily, drinking too many diet drinks might lead to obesity (肥胖). It’s time for you to think twice about the diet drink trend.
55．Why did Genki Forest apologize?
A．For making too many advertisements. B．For not having an sugar in its drinks.
C．For misspelling words on its packaging. D．For advertising its products incorrectly.
56．What can we infer about Genki Forest from paragraph3?
A．There are sweeteners in its drinks. B．Its drinks have high levels of sucrose.
C．Its drink taste sweeter than other drinks. D．People can lose weight with its drinks.
57．What do studies show about sweeteners?
A．They cause the brain to stop receiving signals. B．They provide enough energy for people.
C．They stop the body from getting energy. D．They probably make people feel hungrier.
58．According to the last paragraph, drinking diet drinks can be ________.
A．fun B．harmful C．refreshing D．fashionable

（2022·江苏无锡·统考二模）You change into your pajamas, turn off the lights, and get yourself ready to sleep. How do you prefer to sleep, on the back or on your side? Here are some interesting sleeping positions.
▸ Starfish Position
Starfish is when you lie on your back and sleep with your arms lifted near your head. Sleep scientist Idzikowski says starfish sleepers value friendship, and that while they prefer not to be the center of attention, people who sleep in this position are good listeners and quick to help others.
Fetal Position◂
The fetal position gets its name from the shape of a baby in the womb. People who sleep in the fetal position tend towards worry and anxiety. They are often shy and sensitive. In the fetal position, a sleeper’s body is essentially curled up into a ball as they lie on one side with legs and arms bent.
▸ Soldier Position
This sleeping position is kind of strange, but common. It’s when you sleep on your back with your arms down and very close to your body. Studies have shown that people who sleep like this may not like to make a big deal out of things. It is actually a good sleeping position, as it helps keep your spine in a straight line.
Freefall Position ◂
If this sleeping position is not familiar to you, you should know that at least 7% of the world’s population sleep that way. In this position, you have your hands on or around your pillow, with your head turned to one side. But it may create a twist in the neck.

（2022·江苏无锡·统考二模）One day Nils was studying at home when suddenly he fell asleep. When he woke up, he saw in the mirror— a tiny Nils! He had become only a little thumb toy figure!
But once he opened the door, he found all of swans circling around them. They chased him. They pinched (掐) him and laughed and said, “Now it is time for you to fear us!”
Then the wild swans flew in and saw their ancestors and said, “Hey, come on! Let us all go to beautiful Switzerland!”
A male swan named Max heard the wild swans, so he scooped up high into the sky. Nils found this good chance to experience new things and held on tight to Max’s neck. They both flew high above into the sky. Nils was very scared, so he didn’t open his eyes at first. At last, he got the courage to open his eyes and look down. He saw the white clouds high up the air and saw the black earth under the ground.
Max’s energy left him behind, so he fell behind the group. Max flapped his wings quickly and quickly, but he still felt down and down. Nils was very worried, so at first, he said, “Don’t worry, Max. You rest for a while and let’s go home!” Max liked his comfort, so he quickly caught up with the group.
The leader of the swans whose name was Oscar saw Nils and asked him, “Who are you?” Nils stood up and said: “My name is Nils. I was a human yesterday, but this morning…” Before Nils could finish his words, all the wild swans took a few steps back. Humans had been the swan’s enemy for centuries! No matter how hard Max tried to let Oscar agree to let Nils stay with them, Oscar still agreed to just let him stay with them for one night.
When they all slept snugly that night, a fox crept out behind a tree. He had kept his eyes on the wild swans for a while, and still thought of their delicious meat even as they slept. Oscar sensed this and told all the swans to get up and fly away to a safer place.
But Max left too quickly and dropped Nils down on the ground. Nils did not get hurt, but he did see the fox carrying the swan between his jaws. Nils shouted to him, “Hey, put the swan down!” He quickly grabbed the fox’s tail and pinched it with all his strength. This move allowed the fox to scream and so dropped the swan out of his mouth. Oscar said to Nils, “You are the first person to do good to a swan. So, you can stay with us for the rest of the journey.”
70．Which of the following can best describe Nils’ personality according to this story?

The Amazon rainforest is moving toward a “tipping point” past which trees will start to die off in large numbers, researchers have said.
The study, published in the Joumal of Natural Climate Change, was conducted by scholars from the University of Exeter, the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) and the Technical University of Munich. They used satellite data from 1991 to 2016 to examine trends in deforestation.
They calculated that 75 percent of the rainforest is now at risk of being unable to recover when experiencing droughts, which are also increasingly more common because of global warming.
“Deforestation and climate change are likely to be the main drivers of this decline,” Niklas Boers of PIK and the Technical University of Munich told the BBC．The study has predicted that it is only a matter of decades until a “significant chunk” of the Amazon is changed from rainforest into savannah (大草原).
What would the world be like without the Amazon rainforest?
The destruction of the Amazon rainforest, in some ways caused by global warming, will also speed up this process. “The Amazon stores lots of carbon and all of that would be released into the atmosphere, which would then further contribute to increasing temperatures and have future effects on global mean temperatures,” Professor Boulton of the University of Exeter told the BBC．
This worrying snowball effect means that the destruction of the Amazon will make the much larger battle against global warming more difficult.
The destruction of the Amazon would also have a huge influence on the ecology of the Earth. The Amazon rainforest is home to more than 30,000 species of plants, 2.5 million species of insects, 2,500 fish, over 1,500 bird species, 550 reptiles, and 500 mammals, according to the Wildlife Conservation Society. A savannah, a grassland environment that lacks a large variety of plant life, would be unable to host the large and varied ecosystems that currently exist in the rainforest. It is likely that many animals would become endangered or even die out, as they would be unable to adjust to this new ecosystem.
73．What does the underlined phrase “tipping point” mean in this passage?
A．return to zero B．begin to become less
C．remain unchanged D．begin to become more
74．How is the last paragraph developed?
A．By listing numbers. B．By analyzing causes.
C．By comparing ideas. D．By describing details.
75．What can we learn from the passage?
A．Researchers used satellite data to check trends in deforestation for more than 30 years.
B．Deforestation and climate change are surely the main factors of the decline of the rainforest.
C．The process of destruction of the rainforest will slow down because action has been taken.
D．It is highly possible that the ecology of the Earth will become out of control.
76．The writer wrote this passage ________.
A．to describe a lot of endangered species B．to predict the special life in the future
C．to explain the way to protect the environment D．to make us pay attention to the rainforest

（2022·江苏盐城·统考二模）According to a report, over 750 million people around the world have no clean water to drink. According to experts, women and girls in poor areas have to walk as much as 3.7 miles every day, to get water from the communal taps (公共水龙头) set up by government. What’s even worse is that those who usually go to get water are girls. They have to miss 240 school days a year on this boring and hard activity.
The pipes that carry the water to the communal water taps often lie right under the village grounds. The sadness of the whole situation is that if they could pay for the pipes, the villagers could have the water run directly to their houses.
To help the villagers, Damon and White came up with a good idea. Why not provide the poor people with a “Water Credit” — the lending of money that can be paid over two years? Since the program began three years ago, over 1.5 million people have asked for the $180-$200 to bring pipes to their houses.
What’s even more exciting about the program is that it has freed up not only the women to spend more time on real jobs and make money, but also the children to do what they have been looking forward to for years — go to school regularly!

（2022·江苏盐城·统考二模）Here is a story: A man sees a butterfly (蝴蝶) trying to get out of its chrysalis (蛹) difficultly. Feeling sorry for it, the man decides to help. He cuts the chrysalis and the butterfly comes out easily. Surprisingly enough, the butterfly is unable to fly. If the butterfly doesn’t struggle (挣扎) to leave the chrysalis, it can’t fly! The struggle develops the energy in the butterfly which makes it fly. Similarly, the challenges of life bring out the best in young people and make them fly.
When people are young, meeting and overcoming challenges will make them strong and ready to face life. When we look at successful people, we see that the most successful of them are people who have had to struggle. One famous businessman, who now owns many big supermarkets, used to carry clothes on his back and sell them from door to door when he was young. Another successful man is Dennis. His father died when he was only twenty. His father’s death forced him to mature fast. He had to bring up a family of nine people. He took up the challenges and overcame them. Today his brothers and sisters are leading successful lives.
Sometimes challenges do not appear to us because we keep away from them. So some parents and teachers actively encourage young people to face challenges. They might organize some activities for young people which provide them with challenges, like rock-climbing, camping, volunteer work and so on. However, just passing exams will not prepare a person for life. We must meet and overcome challenges. The young people of today will become the leaders of tomorrow. For countries to continue to become successful, it is important that the young people learn to meet challenges and overcome them.

A．it gets out by itself B．the man feels sorry for it

（2022·江苏盐城·统考二模）If our kids don’t fall, they don’t learn to get up. I still remember the day in high school that my mom forgot to pick me up from school. I’m the oldest of four children, and no doubt she’d had a long day with the other kids and she forgot it. After waiting at school for an hour, I walked the three miles home, and when I got to my house, I shut our front door with anger, stormed into the kitchen and screamed in my mom’s face that she’d forgotten me.
Later that night, my dad told me I no longer had a ride to school the next day. I thought my mom would still take me, but when the morning came, she refused. It was midterm, and as a top student ready to start college applications, being late wasn’t proper. In my mind, missing these tests means the end of my academic career. I begged my mom. But she held her ground, and that day, I walked to school. And I missed my tests.
My mom didn’t rescue (营救) me from failure. She let me suffer from it. She let me figure it out. She let me learn. Now, as a mom myself, I’ve realized that I want my kids to experience failure because failure is how we grow, learn and think outside of ourselves. It’s how we self-educate to learn what’s right and respectable, and what’s not. It’s how we become responsible and enthusiastic.
Falling down makes us better, because we learn how to get up.

（2022·江苏盐城·统考二模）“True friendship is like sound health. The value of it is seldom known until it is lost,” Charles Caleb Colton said. Just like in any other relationship, arguments and fights are also part of friendship. You will hardly find friends who have never fought with one another. Whatever the reason is, if a person feels that he is responsible for causing the differences, it is important that he should say sorry to his friend.
Though you can use the email, text messages or chat for expressing your apology, the good old way of saying sorry to your friend through a letter will surely have a great effect on him. This will make your friend realize that your efforts of saying sorry are genuine and that you really care about him.
Points to Remember:
Timing: Write the letter at the proper time. It is not advisable to put it off for too long.
Words: While you are writing the letter, what matters most is that you truly feel sorry.
Sequence (顺序): Always begin by apologizing and saying sorry for your mistake. Then explain to him your side of the story. In the third and last paragraph, talk about what his friendship means to you and make a promise of not repeating the mistake.
Delivery: You should either post the letter or deliver it personally or through someone else. You can also keep it at a location where your friend will be able to find it easily.
Some people may try to point out the fiend’s mistake while writing the letter. Avoid this completely, as it can make matters worse. The letter has to be brief and should only talk about the subject that has led to your apology. Keep patient and do not expect immediate results. In some cases, it may take time for the person to forgive and forget.
113．What is the author’s purpose of mentioning the saying in the first paragraph?
A．To let readers study the famous saying. B．To introduce the topic of the passage.

（2022·江苏盐城·统考二模）I stayed in Mildendo about two weeks. One of the Emperor’s ministers came to see me one day. He looked very worried, and he said he needed my help. Then he told me that there was going to be a war with the country of Blefuscu. In the past, the people of Lilliput and the people of Blefuscu had agreed about this. They had both believed that eggs should be broken at the bigger end.
One day, however, the Emperor’s grandfather had an accident while he was opening an egg. He cut his finger. He ordered all Lilliputians to open eggs from the smaller end in the future. The people did not like this order, and many of them refused to obey the Emperor. There was a civil war in Lilliput, and many people were killed. The Emperor’s minister explained to me that Blefuscu supported the rebels in the civil war — many rebels went to live in Blefuscu.
The situation was now very serious because Lilliput and Blefuscu were at war. Thousands of people had been killed in the war of the eggs. The government minister told me that Blefuscu was planning to attack Lilliput. The Emperor wanted my help. I told the minister that I was ready to help the Emperor.
The Blefuscu navy was planning to invade Lilliput by sea. The distance between the two countries is about three hundred metres by sea. All the Blefuscu ships were ready, and they were sure they would be victorious in the war. I told the Emperor of Lilliput that I had a plan of my own to help him defeat the enemy.
I waited until it was dark. Then I took some rope with me, and walked into the sea that separated the two kingdoms. The water was not deep. While I was walking in the sea, I put on my glasses to protect my eyes from the arrows of the enemy. I tied a piece of rope to each of the Blefuscu ships. The Blefuscu sailors were terrified when they saw me. The jumped into the sea, and swam away. I took the pieces of rope in my hands, and pulled the Blefuscu navy towards Lilliput.
When the people of Lilliput saw the Blefuscu navy, they thought the invasion had started. They were very frightened now!
Then they saw that I was pulling the ships, and they were happy. It was a great victory for Lilliput, and the Emperor said I was a hero.
The Emperor of Lilliput asked me to go on with the war against Blefuscu. I did not want to go on with the war, because I did not want lots of people to be killed. The Emperor listened to what I said, but he was very angry with me. Now he did not like me.
