It’s never easy to admit you are in the wrong. Being human, we all need to know the art of    31   . Look back with honesty and think how often you’ve judged   32  , said unkind things, pushed yourself ahead at the   33   of a friend. Then count the occasions   34   you indicated clearly and truly that you were   35  . A bit frightening, isn’t it? Frightening because some deep   36   in us knows that when even a small wrong has been   37  , some mysterious moral feeling is disturbed; and it stays out of balance until fault is acknowledged and     38    is expressed.
I remember a doctor friend, the late Clarence Lieb, telling me about a man who came to him with a variety of   39  : headaches, insomnia and stomach trouble. No   40   cause could be found. Finally my friend said to the man, “  41   you tell me what’s worrying you, I can’t help you.” After some   42  , the man confessed that, as executor of his father’s will, he had been   43   his brother, who lived abroad, of his inheritance (继承权). Then and there the wise old doctor made the man write to his brother   44   forgiveness and enclosing a cheque as the first step in restoring their good   45  . He then went with him to mail box in the corridor. As the letter disappeared, the man   46   crying. “Thank you,” He said, “I think I’m   47  .” And he was. A heartfelt apology can not only heal a damaged relationship but also make it   48  . If you can think of someone who   49   an apology from you, someone you have wronged, or just neglected, do something about it   50  .

（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）
Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.  

A．Goods for auction (拍卖) sales

B．Definition of bidding

C．Way to sell more goods by auction

D．Auction sales in history

　　E.　Brief introduction to auctions
　　F.　Making a larger profit as an auctioneer
61. ______
Auctions are public sales of goods, conducted by an officially approved auctioneer. He asks the crowd assembled in the auction-room to make offers, or “bids”, for the various items on sale. He encourages buyers to bid higher figures, and finally names the highest bidder as the buyer of the goods. This is called “knocking down” the goods, for the bidding ends when the auctioneer strikes a small hammer on a table at which he stands.  
62. ______
The ancient Roman probably invented sales by auction, and the English word comes from the Latin auction, meaning “increasing”. The Romans usually sold in this way the goods taken in war. In England in the eighteenth centuries, goods were often sold “by the candle”: a short candle was lit by the auctioneer, and bids could be made while it stayed alight.
63. ______
Practically all goods whose qualities vary are sold by auction. Among these are coffee, skins, wool, tea, furs, silk and wines. Auction sales are also usual for land and property, furniture, pictures, rare books, old china and similar works of art.
64. ______
An auction is usually advertised beforehand with full particulars of the articles to be sold and where and when they can be viewed by potential buyers. If the advertisement cannot give full details, catalogues are printed, and each group of goods to be sold together, called a “lot”, is usually given a number. The auctioneer need not begin with Lot 1 and continue in the order of numbers: he may wait until he notices the fact that certain buyers are in the room and then produce the lots they are likely to be interested in.
65. ______  
The auctioneer’s services are paid for in the form of a percentage of the price the goods are sold for. The auctioneer therefore has a direct interest in pushing up the bidding as high as possible. He will not waste time by starting the bidding too low. He will also play on the opponents among his buyers and succeed in getting a high price by encouraging two business competitors to bid against each other.
