questions 81 to 85 are based on the following passage:
it's never easy to admit you are in the wrong. being human, we allneed to know the art of apologizing. look back with honesty and think howoften you've judged roughly, said unkind things, pushed yourself ahead atthe expense of a friend. then count the occasions when you indicatedclearly and truly that you were sorry. a bit frightening, isn't it? frightening because some deep wisdom in us knows that when even a smallwrong has been committed, some mysterious moral feeling is disturbed; andit stays out of balance until fault is acknowledged and regret expressed.
i remember a doctor friend, the late clarence lieb, telling me abouta man who came to him with a variety of signs: headaches, insomnia andstomach trouble. no physical cause could be found. finally dr. lieb saidto the man, "unless you tell me what's worrying you, i can't help you."
after some hesitation, the man confessed that, as executor of hisfather's will (ò???), he had been cheating his brother, who lived abroad,of his inheritance. then and there the wise old doctor made the man writeto his brother asking forgiveness and enclosing a cheque as the firststep in restoring their good relation. he then went with him to the mailbox in the corridor. as the letter disappeared, the man burst into tears."thank you,"he said,"i think i'm cured."and he was.
