Question: Why is it so hard for some people to apologize after they’ve done something wrong? I have made every effort to persuade my uncle to be nice to people that he knows he’s hurt. 【小题1】 How I wish things would be better if he’d just say he’s sorry and ask them to forgive him.
Answer: 【小题2】 It’s just easier for him to pretend nothing happened than to face the embarrassment of admitting he was wrong. You’ve probably done the same thing yourself at some time. In fact, most of us have. Furthermore, what if others won’t forgive him even if he apologizes?
【小题3】 Pride blinds us to our mistakes or faults. Or at least it makes us pay less attention to their seriousness.
Pride also makes us unwilling to admit to others that we were wrong. Perhaps we’re afraid they will look down on us if we admit it. 【小题4】
But others see through our pride. And things would be far better if we admitted our faults and asked for forgiveness. 【小题5】

(答案→)B
解析：
【小题1】B 根据下句说明他拒绝道歉，故B符合上下文。
【小题2】G 根据下句pretend nothing happened than to face the embarrassment of admitting he was wrong.说明他会认为道歉让人感觉尴尬。故G符合上下文。
【小题3】A 根据Pride blinds us to our mistakes or faults.说明拒绝道歉的另外一个原因也许是骄傲，不愿意向别人道歉。
【小题4】C 根据Pride also makes us unwilling to admit to others that we were wrong.什么吗骄傲会让我们不愿意承认自己错了。结果就会冒犯他人或伤害他们的感情。故C项符合上下文。
【小题5】F 根据And things would be far better if we admitted our faults and asked for forgiveness说明如果我们承认错误会让别人原谅我们。如果我们不承认我们的错误，那么我的骄傲不仅仅会伤害到自己还会伤害到他人。故F符合上下文语境。
