题型:不详难度:来源:
Two friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever, even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started. Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country. In fact, according to an official report on youth violence, "In our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the terrible reality of violence". Given that this is the case, why aren"t students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems, drive ears, or stay physically fit?
First of all, students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. A report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult (侮辱). For example, a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults, which in turn can lead to violence. The problem isn"t in the sandwich, but in the way students deal with the conflict.
Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable, they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution (解决) : stay calm. Once the student feels calmer, he or she should choose words that will calm the other person down as well Rude words, name-calling, and accusations only add fuel to the emotional fire. On the other hand, soft words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control.
After both sides have calmed down, they can use another key strategy (策略) for conflict resolution : listening. Listening allows the two sides to understand each other. One person should describe his or her side, and the other person should listen without interrupting. Afterward, the listener can ask non-threatening questions to clarify the speaker"s position. Then the two people should change roles.
Finally, students need to consider what they are hearing. This doesn"t mean trying to figure out what"s wrong with the other person. It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish. For example, a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things. Students need to ask themselves questions such as these: How did this start? What do I really want? What am I afraid of? As the issue becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomes smaller. Even if it doesn"t, careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution.
There will always be conflict in schools, but that doesn"t mean there needs to be violence. After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution program, according to Educators for Social Responsibility, "64 percent of the teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom; 75 percent of the teachers reported an increase in student co-operation; and 92 percent of the students felt better about themselves". Learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends, teachers, parents, bosses, and coworkers. In that way, conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country.

举一反三
There is a lot of misunderstanding about studying. Most students have not been taught the principles behind really effective working. Imagine a graph showing the amount a person learns against the number of hours he works in a day. If he doesn’t do any work, he learns nothing (point 0). If he does an hour’s work he learns a certain amount (point 1). If he does two hours’ work he learns about twice as much (point 2). If he does more work he’ll learn still more (point 3). However, if he tries to do twenty-three and a half hours’ work in a day, he will be so tired that he’ll hardly remember anything: what he learns will be very little (point 4). If he did less work he’d learn more (point 5).
Now whatever the exact shape of the graph’s curve(曲线), made by joining these points, it must have a high point. Point “X” is the very maximum anyone can learn in the day. And this represents the optimum(最适度), the best, amount of work to do. It is the best possible compromise between adequate time at the books and fatigue(劳累). Fatigue is an absolutely real thing; one can’t escape it or ignore it. If you try to ignore it and press yourself to work past the optimum, you will only get on this downward slope and achieve less than the best – and then become very tired and lose your power of concentration.
The skill in being a student consists of getting one’s daily study as near the optimum point as possible. I cannot tell you what the optimum is. It differs with the type of work, it differs from person to person, and even in the same person it varies from week to week. You must try to find your own. Every day you study, bear this principle of the optimum in mind. When you feel yourself getting fatigued, if you find yourself reading the same paragraph over and over again and not taking it in, that’s a pretty good sign you’ve reached your highest point for the day and should stop. Most ordinary students find their optimum at five hours a day. Yours may be a little more or a little less – but if you get in five hours’ good work a day, you will be doing well.
Now, what are you doing with yourself when you aren’t working? Before examinations some students do nothing at all except sit in a chair and worry. Here is another misunderstanding. People often think that the mind works like the body; it does not. If one wanted to save one’s physical energy in order to cut the maximum amount of firewood, one would lie flat on a bed and rest when one wasn’t chopping. But the mind cannot rest. Even in sleep you dream, even if you forget your dreams. The mind is always turning. It gets its relaxation only by variety. That is what makes the mind rest.
When you’ve finished your optimum number of hours you must stop. You must not then sit around in the chair thinking about the work – that only tires without any learning. You must get out and do something. It doesn’t matter what – anything so long as you are actively doing something else but work.
小题1:According to the passage, _______.
A.the longer you study every day, the more you will learn
B.you’ll achieve better learning results if you work three hours every day
C.the less work you do, the better you will learn
D.your work efficiency will decrease once you exceed a certain point of work
小题2:Fatigue can result in ________.
A.loss of memoryB.a need for relaxation
C.a lot of anxietyD.loss of concentration
小题3:The passage tells us that a person’s optimum number of working hours _______.
A.follows a regular pattern with each individual
B.changes regularly from week to week
C.can be partly determined by the sort of work he is doing
D.should be determined before he gets too tired
小题4:The only way the mind can relax is by ________.
A.doing a variety of things in turn
B.not thinking about anything
C.turning continuously
D.getting oneself in a state of fatigue
小题5:After you have reached the optimum point of study in a day, you should ________.
A.lie in bed and rest
B.do something else actively
C.do some physical labor
D.stop thinking about your studies

Psychologists(心理学家) have known that what"s going on inside our head affects our senses. For example, poorer children think coins are larger than they are, and hungry people think pictures of food are brighter. Professor Remi Radel wanted to investigate(look into) how this happens -- whether it"s right away, as the brain receives signals from the eyes, or a little later, as the brain"s higher-level thinking processes get involved.
Radel chose 42 students and each student was told to arrive at the lab at noon after three or four hours of not eating on the day of the test. Then they were told there was a delay. Some were told to come back in 10 minutes; others were given an hour to get lunch. So half the students were hungry when they did the experiment and the other half had just eaten.
For the experiment, the participant looked at a computer screen. One by one, 80 words flashed on the screen. A quarter of the words were food-related. After each word, the person was asked how bright the word was and asked to choose which of two words they"d seen -- a food-related word like gateau (cake) or a neutral (中性的) word like bateau (boat).
Hungry people saw the food-related words as brighter and were better at identifying food-related words. Because the word appeared too quickly for them to be reliably seen, this means that the difference is in perception (直觉), Radel says—it"s not because of some kind of processing happening in the brain after you"ve already figured out what you"re looking at.
"This is something great to me, that humans can really realize what they need or what they hope for, to know that our brain can really arrange for our motives and needs," Radel says. "There is something inside us that selects information in the world to make life easier.”
小题1:The purpose of Radel"s research is to let us know ____.
A.how our thinking has effect on our senses happens
B.what it is the good time for students to have lunch
C.whether poorer children think coins are larger than they are
D.whether hungry people think pictures of food are brighter
小题2:In the experiment 20 words that flashed on the screen had something to do with “____”.
A.boatB.food C.mind D.weather
小题3:Which of the following is true about the experiment?
A.The students should stare at the words in the book.
B.Each word appeared slowly in order that the participant could read it exactly.
C.After each word flashed on the screen, the person was asked to finish two tasks.
D.On the day of the test, all the students were very hungry because of the delay of their lunch.
小题4:What does the new study find?
A.Actually our brain can arrange for our motives and needs.
B.In the experiment the brain was totally controlled by the senses.
C.People who had just eaten saw all the words more clearly than hungry people.
D.The participants saw the words look different long after the brain dealt with the information.

When I first got an email account ten years ago, I received communications only from family, friends, and colleagues. Now it seems that every time I check my e-mail, I have an endless series of advertisement and other correspondence that do not interest the at all. If we want e-mail to continue to be useful, we need special laws that make spamming(发送垃圾邮件) a crime.
If lawmakers do not do something soon to prohibit spam, the problem will certainly get much worse. Computer programs allow spammers to spend hundreds of millions of e-mails almost instantly. As more and more advertisers turn to spam to sell their products, individual e-mail boxes are often flooded with spam e-mails. Would people continue to use e-mail if they had to deal with an annoying amount of spam each time?
This problem is troubling for individuals and companies as well. Many spam emails contain computer viruses that can shut down the entire network of a company. Companies rely on e-mail on for their employees to communicate with each other. Spam frequently causes failures in their local communications networks, and their employees are thus unable to communicate effectively. Such a situation results in a loss of productivity and requires companies to repeatedly repair their networks. These computer problems raise production costs of companies, which are, in the end, passed on to the consumer.
For these reasons, I believe that lawmakers need to legislate (立法) against spam. Spammers should be fined, and perhaps sent to prison if they continue to disturb people. E-mail is a tool which helps people all over the world to communicate conveniently, but spam is destroying this convenience.
小题1:What does the underlined word “correspondence” in the Paragraph 1 probably mean?                                                          
A.messagesB.ideasC.connectionsD.programs
小题2:According to the text, what is the major cause of the flooding spam?       
A.Companies rely on e-mail for communications.
B.More people in the world communicate by e-mail.
C.Many computer viruses contain spam e-mail.
D.More advertisers begin to promote sales through spam.
小题3:According to Paragraph 3,who is the final victim of spam?         
A.The businessB.The advertiser
C.The employeeD.The consumer
小题4:What is the purpose of the text?        
A.To informB.To educateC.To persuadeD.To instruct

“Daddy, can I have a piece of cake?” my oldest son asked me.
We had just been to the gym and stopped to   31  at the restaurant.
“No,” I replied, “you don’t need a piece of cake.”
My son   32  15 in a few days. He   33  over 6 feet tall. He is very slim and athletic in shape. It was not always that way. My wife wrote a book about the challenge and   34  of getting him fit. He now takes it   35  and looks as he’s never been overweight in his life.
He had a full plate of   36  and tofu. He didn’t need a piece of cake. Besides, everything in the restaurant is quite   37 . Our dinners could have   38  a family of seven at a fast food restaurant. That cake probably cost $5.
He was   39  as he looked at the delicious cakes. I had forgotten that I had walked over to the cake shelf while he was   40  his food from the buffet (自助餐).
I looked at my   41 . There sitting on the edge was a piece of   42 . I looked at it wondering but also knowing how it got there. “We will divide it,” I said.
A few days later my oldest son was with me again. We stopped at a   43 . He ordered a sandwich. I then   44  two sandwiches. He immediately barked, “Can I have two?” He wanted exactly what Daddy had.
Your kids are very likely to put on their plates, exactly what you have on yours, and I think this applies to more than food. Keep your   45  plate with only what you want your kinds to have.
