28、 True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it is lost:—Charles Caleb Colton Just like in any other relationship, arguments and fights are also a 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 creating the differences, it is important that he apologizes 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 you really care for him.
Points to Remember:
Timing: Write the letter at the proper time. It is not advisable to put off it for too long.
Words: While writing the letter, what matters the most is that you truly feel sorry.
Sequence: 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 earn either post it or deliver the letter 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 friend'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.

29、 A lot of us lose life’s tough battles by starting a frontal attack— when a touch of humor might well enable us to win. Consider the case of a young friend of mine, who was on his trapped way to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum(最后通牒) about the job. Although there was a good reason for Sam’s being late—serious illness at home—he realized that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldn’t work any longer. His supervisor was probably already pacing up and down preparing a dismissal speech.
Yes, the boss was. Sam entered the office at 9:35. The place was as quiet as a locker room; everyone was hard at work. Sam’s supervisor came up to him. Suddenly, Sam forced a grin and stretched out his hand. “How do you do!” he said, “I’m Sam Maynard. I’m applying for a job, which, I understand, became available just 35 minutes ago. Does the early bird get the worm?”
The room exploded in laughter, except that the supervisor had to clamp off a smile and walked back to his office. Sam Maynard had saved his job— with the only tool that could win, a laugh.
Humor is a most effective, yet frequently ignored, means of handling the difficult situations in our lives. It can be used for patching up differences, apologizing, saying “no”, criticizing, getting the other fellow to do what you want without his losing face. For some jobs, it’s the only tool that can succeed. It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialogue may start a quarrel. For example, many believe that comedians on television are doing more today for racial and religions tolerance than people in any other form.
【1】Why was Sam late for his job?
A.Because he was seriously ill at home. B.Because he received an ultimatum.
C.Because he was busy applying for a new job. D.Because he was caught in a traffic jam.
【2】The phrase “clamp off” in Paragraph3 means________.
A.try to hold back B.pretend to set C.send off D.give out
【3】Which of the following statements can we infer from the passage?
A.Many lose life’s battles for they are always late.
B.Sam was supposed to come to his office at 8:30.
C.It wasn’t the first time that Sam came late for his work.
D.Humor is the most effective way of solving problems.
【4】What’s the main idea of this passage?
A.Sam Maynard saved his job with humor. B.Humor is important in our lives.
C.Early bird can get the worm. D.Humor can solve racial discriminations.
