  A new survey says an English person says “sorry” up to eight times a day. They say this word up to 2 ,920 times a year and 233,600 times in a lifetime.

   As a reporter,I went to London last month. While I was walking on the streets,a young man ran by,brushing against my handbag. He went on his way,but turned back and said “sorry” to me. Even in a rush,he didn't forget to say “sorry”.

   The next day,I went shopping alone. After I bought some bread,the shopkeeper was passing me the change. But I wasn’t ready for it and a coin dropped onto the ground. “Sorry,Madam ,” he said. At the same time,he began to pick it up. I was surprised why he said “sorry” to me.

  After I went back to my hotel,I got to know that when something unpleasant happens in daily life,the English don't care much about who is wrong. Perhaps that is why English people hardly quarrel on the buses or streets.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,回答下列問題。

  1. How many times does an English person say the word “sorry” a day?

    It is necessary to share your feelings with others. Sharing your feelings helps you to get closer to people you care about and who care about you.

   Sometimes it can be really hard not to tell anyone that you’re feeling sad,worried,or upset (心煩的) . Don’t keep feelings locked inside. If that,it can even make you feel sick!

But if you talk with someone who cares for you,like your mom or dad,you will not be all alone with your problems or worries. It doesn’t mean your problems and worries go off,but at least someone else knows what your trouble is and can help you find ways to do with it.

   If the person doesn’t understand what you mean right away,try explaining it a different way or give an example that has something to do with you. Of course,there are many ways for you to speak up your feelings. If you think you’ll have trouble saying what's on your mind,write it down on a piece of paper.

   Some of us,just like some adults,are more private (有隱私的) than others. That means some people will feel shy about sharing their feelings. A kid doesn’t have to share every feeling he or she has,but it is important to share feelings when a kid needs help.
