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 arent students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems,drive cars,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 isnt 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 speakers position.Then the two people should change roles.Finally,students need to consider what they are hearing.This doesnt mean trying to figure out whats wrong with the other person.It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to acplish.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 bees clearer,the conflict often simply bees smaller.Even if it doesnt,careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution.There will always be conflict in schools,but that doesnt 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 cooperation;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.36.This article is mainly

has the worst taxes in the world.Taxes are the money that people pay to support their government.There are generally three levels of government in the United States:federal,state,and city;therefore,there are three types of taxes.Salaried people who can earn more than four to five thousand dollars per year must pay a certain part.It depends on their salaries.The federal government has a two-level ine tax:that is,15 or 28 percent.$17 850 is the cut off.The tax rate is 15 percent below $17 850 and 28 percent above.The second tax is for the state government:New York,California,or any of the other forty-eight states.Some states have an ine tax similar to that of the federal government.Of course,the percentage for the state tax is lower.Other states have a sales tax,which is a percentage charged to any item which people buy in the state.Some states use ine tax and sales tax to raise their revenues(=annual ine).The third tax is for the city.This tax es in two forms:property tax(people who own a home have to pay taxes on it) and excise tax(物品税),which is collected on vehicles in a city.The cities use this money for education,police,public works,etc.Since Americans pay such high taxes,they often feel that they are working one day each week just to pay their taxes.People always plain about taxes.They often say that the government misuses their tax dollars.They all believe that taxes are too high in this country.41.In the United States,taxes are collected to provide revenues for .A.the federal governmentB.the state governmentC.the city governmentD.the three levels of government提示:细节理解题。文章第二段指出,美国税收分为联邦政府、州政府和市政府三个层次,所以税收所得用于提高三个政府的收入。答案:D42.How much money does an American earning $40 000 per year pay to the federal government as ine tax according to the passage?A.28% of his ine.B.15% of his ine.C.$17 870.D.$5000.提示:细节理解题。第三段中“.that is,15 or 28 percent.$17 850 is the cut off.The tax rate is 15 percent below $17 850 and 28 percent above.”可知,$40 000已经超出了$17 850,所以他所收入的28%应该作为个人所得税。答案:A43.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.Different levels of the governments have different types of taxes in the United States.B.All the states have a sales tax which is used to support poor people.C.The tax of the states is similar to that of the federal government.D.All the states use both taxes to raise their ine every year to build schools.提示:细节理解题。根据文章内容可知,联邦政府要收所得税,州政府要收销售税而市政府要收财产税,即不同层次的政府有不同的税收要求,所以A项正确。答案:A44.What tax does an American have to pay to the city if he owns a car?A.Property tax.B.Excise tax.C.Ine tax.D.Sales tax.提示:细节理解题。第五段“property tax(people who own a home have to pay taxes on it and excise tax(物品税),which is collected on vehicles in a city”可知,一个人要是拥有汽车应该向市政府缴纳财产税。答案:B45.After reading the passage,we might feel that Americans seem to be .A.satisfied with their taxesB.proud of their taxesC.unhappy about their taxesD.very angry at their taxes提示:推理判断题。根据第六段“People always plain about taxes”可以推断出美国人民对于他们的税收政策不满意。答案:C.任务型读写(共10小题;每题1分,共10分)Greeting other people is the first and most important social event in our lives.Parents greet their children as soon as they are born,and its not long before babies know who is who among the people in their everyday lives.After only a few months,babies work out systems of greeting for meeting people they know and those who are unfamiliar.Have you ever seen a four-month old baby staring at you?Have you smiled and said “hello” to the baby?Then have watched the babys little frown as it realises that it does not know you?Either the baby will begin to make strange noises and cling to its caregiver,or it will jerk its head in such a way that its whole body moves,and smile at you.The baby has learned to greet people and to respond to greetings at an very early age.What it has learned is the most important aspect of a greeting:the facial and body gestures that acpany the smile.These are signals that indicate friendliness.Secondly,there is the intonation(语调)in the voice.Greetings are said warmly,with an expression anywhere between bright quickness and easy-going friendliness.The third aspect concerns the words chosen.Together,the words,the intonation,and facial expression signal a greeting.These indicators are the same all over the world.There may be a little difference in the words used,but “Good day”,“Bonggiorno”,“Nihao”,“Bonjour”,and “Guten Morgen” all contain the meaning of “good”.The mon greeting from other languages is translated into English as “Good day” or “Hello”.“Konnichi-wa” means “good day.”There are thousands of languages and cultures around the world,but though the words are different,they mean the same.And they are acpanied with friendly gestures,with smiles and with pleasant vocal intonations.You learned all of these skills and naturally in the first months and years of your life.So please greet other people with a smile,warm voice and kind words.Please greet other people whenever you can and wherever you are.TitleGreetingsThemeWe greet to show 46.IntroductionGreeting 47. is our first and most important social event.Three 48. of a greeting1.The 49. on your
