天全中学2015—2016学年下期高二第12周周考 英 语 试 题 （满分100分 时间40分钟） 第一节：阅读理解 A There is a problem each of us faces in following advice on emotional healing: apologizing is difficult.

They may begin to counter your lack of apologies by not apologizing themselves and from this the relationship goes downhill as the two of you get caught in a power struggle.
