A SUCCESS STORY, OR IS IT?
Success, like beauty, lies in the eye of their beholder How one person chooses to define it can be verydifferent from how others perceive it For some people, it’s earning a fortune, while for (34) _ it’sworking in a voluntary position helping those less fortunate It’s also relative rather than absolute because theperson (35) masters a new skill has achieved success in their terms just as much as the self-mademillionaire
Ironically, there may also be a(n) (36) _ contradiction in the term After all, an actress who has aglamorous life and seems to have everything she wants may actually be troubled by the loss of her privatelife as paparazzi (37) _ her personal space
It also has something to do with the length of time success lasts Many young people are happy with term fame but (38) it’s true that reaching that one goal might be comparatively straightforward,maintaining that success is often much harder And surely, it’s long-term success that is ultimately the mostsatisfying and also the most enviable?

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Apologies are powerful They resolve conflicts without violence and restore equilibrium to personalrelationships They can be a sign of strength: proof that the apologizer has the self-confidence to admit amistake
Apologies, like so many other communication strategies, begin at home In the American context, there is
ample evidence that women are more inclined to offer an expression of contrition than men One woman, for
example, told me that her husband's resistance to apologizing makes their disputes go on and on Once, after
he forgot to give her a particularly important telephone message, she couldn't get over her anger, not because
he had forgotten (she realized anyone can make a mistake) but because he didn't apologize "Had I donesomething like that," she said, "I would have fallen all over myself saying how sorry I was I felt as though
he didn't care." When I asked her husband for his side of the story, he said apologizing would not have
repaired the damage "So what good does it do?" he wondered.
The good it does is to cement the relationship By saying he was sorry - and saying it as if he meant it – hewould have conveyed that he felt bad about letting her down Showing that you empathize provides theelement of contrition, remorse, or repentance that is central to apologies - as does the promise to makeamends and not repeat the offense In the absence of these, why should the wife trust her husband not to do itagain?
Apologies can be equally powerful in day-to-day situations at work One company manager told me that they
were magic bullets When he admitted to subordinates that he had made a mistake and then expressed
remorse, they not only forgave him but became even more loyal Conversely, when I asked people what mostfrustrated them in their work lives, co-workers refusing to admit fault was a frequent answer
(Adapted from Contrite Makes Right in Civilization Magazine by Deborah Tannen)
44 Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A Codes of etiquette at work B Elements of Sincere Apologies
C Useful Techniques in Dispute Resolution D Strategies for Romantic Relationships
45 According to paragraph 2, what could we learn from the situation of the couple?
Trang 7A The husband was aware of the benefits of apologies.
B The husband's ignorance of the wife's telephone message made her angry.
C The wife got the impression that her husband didn't care.

46 The word inclined in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to .
47 The word itb> in paragraph 2 refers to .
48 The phrase magic bullets in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to
49 Which of the following is NOT true about apologies according to the passage?
A More apologies are offered by women than men in American society.
B Apologies made by the manager led to his employees' frustration.
C Apologies are similar to promises not to repeat wrongdoings.
