How to Survive Embarrassing(令人尴尬的)Moments
Have you ever done something embarrassing?At that moment,you probably wished you could disappear into thin air.You can keep the damage to the minimum.Here's some help.
Laugh it off
You're staring at your crush(意中人)so hard that you walk into a wall.You trip over your own feet and drop all your books.The best thing you can do?As long as you're not seriously hurt,laugh it off.Say like"Hey,I can teach you to do that if you want to!"or"It took me years to learn that!"By laughing at yourself,you show people you're confident and still in control of the situation.That's bound to make a stronger impression than the fact that you dropped a stack of books.
Move on
Some situations are too personal to laugh off.Your underwear falls out of your backpack.Your bathing suit falls off in the pool.You pass gas while giving a presentation.Making a joke would just call more attention to what happened—and that's the last thing you want.What now?You can just pretend nothing happened and go back to what you were doing,or you can acknowledge it with a"Oh,that was awkward"and then move on.
Apologize and move on
Some embarrassing situations pack a double punch.Not only do you embarrass yourself,but you make someone else feel bad.You say to a friend that another friend is such a copycat,and then realize the copycat is standing right behind you.You imitate your teacher's unusual accent just as the teacher walks in.Now you're embarrassed and they're mad or hurt.
If you've been disrespectful to a teacher or a parent,accept whatever consequences(后果,结果)without complaint.If you've hurt a friend,do your best to make it up to them.Once you've done all you can to make things right again,move on.If someone else brings it up,just say,"I feel bad enough about that—can we just let it go,please?"
The next time you're stuck in an embarrassing moment,remind yourself that you're a strong person and you can get through this.Stay calm and act confident and the moment will pass.

Passage C
One evening after dinner,Mr.and Mrs.William called a family meeting.“We’ve had to make a difficult decision.”Mr.William announced.“You see,your mother has been offered a post as co-director of a television in Chicago.Unluckily,the station is not here.After thinking long and hard about it,we’ve concluded that the right decision is to move to Chicago.”
Peter looked shocked,while his sister Amy breathlessly started asking when they’d be moving:“It’s surprising,but exciting!”she said.Peter simply said,“We can’t go—I can’t leave all my friends.I’d rather stay here and live with Tommy!”
Mr.and Mrs.William hoped that by the time they moved in August,Peter would grow more accustomed to the idea of leaving.However,he showed no signs of accepting the news,refusing to pack his belongings.
When the morning of the move arrived,Peter was nowhere to be found.His parents called Tommy’s house,but Tommy’s mother said she hadn’t seen Peter.Mrs.William became increasingly worried,while her husband felt angry with their son for behaving so irresponsibly.
What they didn’t know was that Peter had started walking over to Tommy’s house,with a faint idea of hiding in Tommy’s attic(阁楼)for a few days.But something happened on the way as Peter walked past all the familiar landscape of the neighborhood:the fence that he and his mother painted,the tree that he and his sister used to climb,the park where he and his father often took evening walks together.How much would these mean without his family,who make them special in the first place?Peter didn’t take the time to answer that question but instead hurried back to his house,wondering if there were any moving cartons(纸板箱)the right size to hold his record collection.
A.Peter would bring his records over to the Tommy’s house.
B.Mr.and Mrs.William would call the police.
C.Mr.and Mrs.William would start searching for Peter.
D.Peter would join his family for house moving.
