Four American teenagers, all children of U.S. military personnel, have been arrested on charges of attempted murder after a woman was knocked off her motorbike with rope strung across two poles, Japanese police said. The four suspects—two 15-year-old boys, a 17-year-old girl and an 18-year old man—were taken into custody on Saturday, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department said. (1) They are accused of causing a severe head injury to a 23-year-old girl who works at a restaurant by stringing a rope between poles across a road.
(2) U.S. forces in Japan was informed of the August incident in late
October, a public information officer said. There was no clear explanation for the delay in the handover of the suspects to police, other than it involved rules between Washington and Tokyo covering U.S. forces and their dependents in Japan. The U.S. military presence and its impact on Japanese residents have been a thorny issue over the years.

j Is “sorry” the hardest word? (16) Not for the British Education | Secretary Michael Gove, who has apologized recently to his former French
teacher for misbehaving in class. It took him 30 years to express regret for, as he said, competing with his classmates to asS: “clever-dick questions^ and indulging in “boring showing off' In a letter published in a magazine, Mr. Gove says, “It may be too late to say I’m sorry. But, as my mum told me, it’s never too late to set the record straight.”
It seems regretful politicians are in fashion. (17) A recent apology on video by the deputy prime minister Nick Clegg, has become a hit on the Internet, Mr. Clegg wanted the voters to forgive him for having broken his word and not voting against increases in student tuition fees.
Researchers suggest that people have too high an expectation of the power of saying sorry. Dutch psychologist David De Cremer and his colleagues say in a study published in Psychological Science that receiving an apology isn’t as healing as people like to think. (18) Nevertheless, apologies might be an important social tool as they re-affirm the existence of rules that need to be observed. In Britain, the word “sorry” is often said and heard. If you step on someone else’s toe by chance you have to apologize but the person whose foot was squashed has to do it too. It conveys the idea that none of you is left with hard feelings.

场合的炫耀，而这些行为都是不应该发生在课堂上的。因此答案为选项A)。17. How did Nick Clegg make his apologies known to the public?
B)。短文中提到 A recent apology on video by the deputy prime minister Nick Clegg, has become a hit on the Internet.由此可知，Clegg制作了一个道歉的视频并放到
网络上，该视频因此而出名，所以答案为选项B)。
18. What, according to David De Cremer, is the main function of apologies?C)。此题针对道歉的主要功能进行提问。短文中提到，根据Cremer的研究，道
歉并不能真的减轻人们所受到的伤害，而它的重要功能是re-affirm the existence of rules that need to be observed,即通过道歉，人们再一次体会到了社会中某些
准则的存在。因此答案为选项C)。

Do you often get angry? If the answer is yes, you are not alone. Bad traffic, disagreements with people and other occurrences can potentially be a nuisance. But can you control your temper or show your rage every time someone crosses you? (23) One footballer known for his temper is Liverpool striker, Louis Suarez. After a confrontation in a match against Chelsea, he sank his teeth into his opponent Branislav Ivanovichs flesh. The bite caused outrage and he was ordered to go on an anger management course. Many ordinary people are referred by the police or a doctor, or simply sign up themselves to such courses, too.
The theory of anger management was developed in the 1970s. The first reference to the term cited by the Oxford English Dictionary comes in 1975, in the work of U.S. psychologist Raymond Novaco. (24) It doesn’t work for everyone. About 30% of people dropped out. But for those who persevered,

it led them to change their behavior, (25) Among the recommendations for people with a short fuse are: accept that different opinions are acceptable, listen to the other person and don’t take anything personally. Control used to be seen as restraint. But these days letting it all out, is viewed as destructive behavior. Maybe the best thing is just count to ten when you feel you are about to hit the roof. It might not give you time to calm down but will allow the other person to run away.
