Task: Read the passage, and then complete the following exercise.
阅读文章,并完成文后的练习。
Apologizing at the office is not the same as in real life. People can make matters worse by giving “I’m sorry” gifts inappropriate for the workplace, like one well-meaning boss who gave his assistant a bouquet of flowers. This action is as both sexist and too personal a gesture. The wrong kind of apology can be more offensive than the original mistake. So, what should you do and say?
The first one is sincerity. You have to genuinely regret what you did, and say it plainly. Start with “I am sorry”.
Second, briefly explain precisely what you believe you did wrong, acknowledge that you embarrassed him or her by speaking up and you feel rotten about it.
Step three: Suggest a solution for the next time this situation comes along (if it ever does), and propose a way to make amends.
The fourth step: Just listen to the one you are apologizing to if he or she wants to vent. No matter what he or she says or how he or she says it, don’t interrupt or try to defend your actions. Giving the other party a chance to tell you how badly you screwed up, and how angry (or hurt, or disappointed) he or she is.
Then, take a deep breath and say: “Thank you for giving me another chance.”
The sixth and last step is pretty simple: Don’t ever do the same thing again.
The most important thing is that never make a joke as part of an apology. Humor is great for relieving tension, but it makes it hard for people to tell how sincere you really are.
Decide whether the follwing statements are true ( T ) or false ( F ).
