Question: Why is it so hard for some people to apologize after they’ve done something wrong? I have made every effort to persuade my uncle to be nice to people that he knows he’s hurt.     How I wish things would be better if he’d just say he’s sorry and ask them to forgive him.
Answer:  _  It’s just easier for him to pretend nothing happened than to face the embarrassment (尴尬) of admitting he was wrong. You’ve probably done the same thing yourself at some time. In fact, most of us have. Furthermore, what if others won’t forgive him even if he apologizes?
   Pride blinds us to our mistakes or faults. Or at least it makes us pay less attention to their seriousness.
Pride also makes us unwilling to admit to others that we were wrong. Perhaps we’re afraid they will look down on us if we admit it.    
But others see through our pride. And things would be far better if we admitted our faults and asked for forgiveness.    
Now you know why your uncle refuses to apologize, talk to him again. Help him to learn how to apologize and ask for forgiveness from others.

A．But a deeper reason is pride.

B．But he just refuses to do that.

C．We may even hope that somehow they will ignore it.

D．As a result, you would offend others and hurt their feelings.

E. There are a variety of reasons for your uncle’s refusal to apologize.
F. Otherwise our pride would only hurt us and cause conflict with others.
G. One reason your uncle finds it hard to apologize could be embarrassment.

Tips for a Happier Workplace
You don’t have to be friends with your co-workers, but you do need to be friendly. Read on for fresh ways to make your office a kinder, gentler place.
◆Give a happy “Hello! ”in the morning
Do you walk into the office, eyes down, and immediately start work? If so, you are likely to find that co-workers ignore(忽视)you or avoid you. It’s really amazing how fast this small gesture can change unfriendly workplace relations.

◆Avoid gossip(流言飞语)

The Power of choice
Every one of us makes countless choices every day. Every choice we make has an impact on our lives.When hunger strikes, we con reach for a healthy, nutritious snack, or we can choose the* Sugar high of junk food. The more important the decision,

Another example .a very exhausted mother can lose her temper easily and then she may become ill so that she can't support her family without earning any money.   So as we move through each day of our lives, let us learn to care about ourselves as we do our best to choose what's best for others.
