     Every family with kids has seen its share of arguments,shouting and complaining.It turns
out that all that conflict serves an important purpose in the development of children.Saying
"no",followed by a temper tantrums (发脾气),just may be an unavoidable part of growing
up.And that"s a good thing.These are the first steps toward independence.Even young children
have to challenge their parents sometimes.
     Studies have shown the following:
     Although stressful,conflict is beneficial for children.
     Learning to manage conflict is necessary for a child"s development.
     Conflicts during the preschool years occur because children desire even more attention
than parents can or should give.
     If you understand why conflict occurs,it can minimize (最小化) the conflicts between
you and your children.Conflict is a child"s attempt to develop a sense of self and how he or
she learns to express needs and ideas.Parents develop and drive this independence by
exposing children to the outside world both formally and informally.
     Conflict can grow out of a difference of opinion or might just be a way to blow off steam
(发泄怒气).In rare situations,constant conflict between a parent and child can indicate a
deeper emotional problem.Consult your doctor if this seems to be your situation.
     It"s important to offer your child choices,which should be determined by age and
developmental level.The more responsible a child is,the more choices he or she gets in reward.
You can threaten your child with punishment,but often offering a choice will better improve
angry situations.Consequences and rewards should have some meaning to your child.
     Often a child"s adverse (敌对的) reaction when he or she hears the word "no" can be
avoided by giving the child an explanation as to why you have refused their request.

      I will be traveling to Australia as a Student Ambassador with People to People. People
to People arranges for American students to travel all around the world to learn about other
cultures, and to help others understand American culture. The program was founded by
former President Dwight D. Eisenhower to promote peace through understanding.
     I had to put in many hours of special work to get to this point. First, a teacher nominated
(推荐) me, and then I attended an informational meeting about the program. The application
process included an interview, and finally, I was accepted.
     That"s when the hard work really began. In addition to attending monthly meetings to
prepare for the big trip, my parents encouraged my twin sister Beth (also participating in
the program) and me to raise $ 2,000 each to help pay for the cost. And so the fund-raising
began. We did everything from selling candy bars to selling an old car to decorating people"s
mailboxes during the holiday season. We also babysat, washed cars, held a yard sale, and
washed windows. After months of hard work I had raised a total of $2319.87! Combined,
Beth and I raised over $ 4500.00!
     Now I have a problem-packing. Yes, I know it sounds unimportant, but my suitcase
seems to have shrunk (收缩) as I placed my belongings inside. According to airline
regulations (规定), a suitcase can be no larger than 54 inches and weigh no more than 44
pounds. For a person who likes to wear a different outfit every day, packing all my clothes
into such a small space seemed an impossible task. However, I have lessened my load and
my suitcase which started out weighting overweight now checks in at a mere 36. Apart from
a slightly bloated (臃肿) carry-on bag, my luggage is definitely manageable.
     I doubt that I will not get much sleep tonight because I am so excited! I know that what
lies ahead is going to be the trip of lifetime!


1. When does the author write the passage?______A. Before leaving for Australia.
B. Several months before the journey.
C. Just hours after reaching the destination.
D. The night when she was accepted.2. Which of the following is not the aim of People to People program?______A. To promote peace through understanding.
B. To collect money for traveling.
C. To make American culture known to others.
D. To learn about other cultures.3. Which is the correct order of the author" preparation for the journey?______a. being accepted as a member
b. raising money for the trip
c. attending a meeting about the program
d. packing belongings
e. being nominated by the teacher
A. e, a, b, c, d
B. a, c, e, d, b
C. e, c, a, d, b
D. e, c, a, b, d4. What does the author think of the journey?_____A. It could be a tiring expensive journey.
B. It could be long-lasting journey, which needs taking all daily necessities.
C. It could be an exciting, unforgettable journey.
D. It could be an overseas journey, during which she would experience hard labor.

     Some people believe that international sport creates goodwill between the nations and that if
countries play games together they will learn to live together.Others say that the opposite is true:
that international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred.
There is probably some truth in both arguments,but in recent years the Olympic Games have done
little to support the view that sports encourage international brotherhood.Not only were there the
incidents of tragedy involving murder of athletes,but the Games were also ruined by lesser incidents
caused principally by minor national contests.
     One country received its second-place medals with visible anger after the hockey final.There
had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match,with the losers objecting to the final decisions.
They were convinced that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents"
victory was unfair.Their manager was in a rage when he said,"This isn"t hockey.Hockey and the
International Hockey Federation are finished." The president of the Federation said later that such
behavior could result in the suspension of the team for at least three years.
     The American basketball team announced that they would not yield first place to Russia after a
disputable end to their contest.The game had ended in disorder.It was thought at first that the United
States had won by a point,but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play.A Russian
player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other,and another player popped it into the
basket.It was the first time that the US had ever  lost an Olympic basketball match.An appeal jury
(评审委员会)  debated the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that  the result would
stand.The American players then voted not to receive the silver medals.
     Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love
of the game.The suggestion  that athletes should compete as individuals or in non-national teams might
be too much to hope for.But in present organization of Olympics there is far too much that encourages
aggressive patriotism (爱国主义).


1.The author thinks that in recent years Olympic Games have________.A.showed little international friendship
B.greatly encouraged international brotherhood
C.created goodwill between the nations
D.created only misunderstanding and hatred2.What did the manager mean by saying "This isn"t hockey.Hockey and the International Hockey
Federation are finished"?A.This is not a standard hockey match.
B.The federation would not exist any longer after this match was over.
C.His team would not enter the game in three years.
D.The unfair decision ruined both hockey and the Federation.3.The basketball match showed that________.A.aggressive patriotism was displayed in the incident
B.the Russian team should not have taken advantage of the last three seconds
C.the appeal jury was too inefficient in making a decision
D.the American team should have taken the first place4.The author gives two examples in the 2nd and the 3rd paragraphs in order to show that________.A.contests often end  in disorder
B.no contests are fair in Olympic Games
C.competition discourages international friendship
D.unfair decisions are common in sports5.Which statement best summarizes this passage?A.Athletes should compete as individuals.
B.The organization of the Olympic Games must be improved.
C.Any team that has disrespectful behavior should be suspended.
D.Different teams often have disputes when fighting for the first place.

阅读理解     When friends come to visit us in the evening, they spend their time telling us they are in a hurry and
looking at their watches. It isn"t that our friends are all very busy, it is just that we haven"t got a television.
People think that we are very strange. "But what do you do in the evening?", they are always asking. The
answer is very simple. Both my wife and I have hobbies. We certainly don’t spend our evenings staring at
the walls. My wife enjoys cooking and painting and often attends evening classes in foreign languages.
This is particularly useful as we often go abroad for our holidays. I collect stamps and I"m always busy
with my collection. Both of us enjoy listening to the music and playing chess together. 
     Sometimes there are power cuts and we have no electricity in the house. This does not worry us, we
just light candles and carry on with what we were doing before. Our friends, however, are lost—no
television! —So they don"t know what to do. On such evenings our house is very full—they all come to
us. They all have a good time. Instead of sitting in silence in front of the television, everybody talks and
plays games. 1. The couple have not got a television, because     . A. they are not rich enough
