If you want to teach your children how to say sorry you must be good at saying it yourself, especially to your own children. But how you say it can Be quite tricky.If you say to your children “I’m sorry I got angry with you, but...” what follows that “but” can render the apology ineffective: “I had a bad day.” or “your noise was giving me a headache” leaves the person who has been injured feeling that he should be apologizing for his bad behavior in expecting an apology.Another method by which people appear to apologize without actually doing so is to say “I’m sorry you're upset”; this suggests that you are somehow at fault for allowing yourself to get upset by what the other person has done.Then there is the general, all covering apology, which avoids the necessity of identifying a specific act that was particularly hurtful or insulting, and which the person who is apologizing should promise never to do again.

But guess what? All of these things are subject to change in the not-so-distant future. It will still go and stop, but it may not bum gasoline. I may not have to steer it, and it may be a lot better at not running into things. Airbags aren’t the be-all and end-all in safety. In fact, considering the recent news about people occasionally being killed by their airbags in low-speed collisions(碰撞),they obviously still need some development. But they aren’t going away, and in fact you can expect to see cars appearing with additional, side-impact airbags, something some European car manufacturers already offer. Better than systems to minimize(使减少到最低限度)injury in the event of an accident, however, are systems that minimize the likelihood of an accident happening in the first place. Future cars may be able to eliminate many of the major causes of accidents, including drunk-driving, tailgating and sleepiness. Cars could be equipped with sensors that can detect alcohol in a driver’s system and prevent the car from being started, for example. Many accidents are caused by people following the car in front too closely. As early as next year, you’ll be able to buy cars with radar-equipped control systems. If the radar determines you’re closing too quickly with the car in front, it will ease up on the throttle. For city streets, expect other radar devices that will give advance warning that the car in front of you has slowed suddenly and you should step on the brakes——or that may even brake for you. Will cars eventually be able to drive themselves? There’s no reason to think it won't be technically possible, and Mercedes is working on a system that can brake, accelerate and steer a vehicle down a highway on its own. Nobody really expects people to give up all control to their cars, but such systems could be used as failsafe(安全的)systems to keep cars on the road and bring them safely to a stop even if the driver suddenly became disabled. 1.The author was fascinated by cars because( ).2.By say “my car doesn’t do anything that my brother’s Studebaker didn’t do”(Line-5-6, para. 1) ,the author means that ( ).3.Which of the following statements is true of airbags?4.What will future cars do if the sensors detect alcohol in the driver’s system?5.Which of the following statements is true according to the last paragraph?

    Like many other small boys, I was fascinated by cars, not least because my oldest brother was a bit of a car guy and subscribed to cool magazines like Car and Driver and Motor Trend. Every so often, one of those magazines would run an article on the “Car of the Future”.They featured unconventional styling and things like small nuclear reactors as power sources. Yet, frankly, my car doesn’t do anything that my brother's Studebaker didn’t do. It goes, it stops, it bums gasoline, it plays music. I still have to steer it, and it still runs into things if I don't steer it carefully.But guess what? All of these things are subject to change in the not-so-distant future. It will still go and stop, but it may not bum gasoline. I may not have to steer it, and it may be a lot better at not running into things.Airbags aren’t the be-all and end-all in safety.
