When my friend Maxie says “have a nice day” with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.“Have a nice day. Next!” this version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door. The words e out in the same tone with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone elses is the managements attempt to increase business. The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expression saves us when we dont know what to say. “oh, you just had a tooth out? Im terribly sorry, but have a nice day.”The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says “Have a nice day!” to you, you may find it heart-warming because someone you dont know has tried to be nice to you.Although the use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The sale girl, the waitress, the teacher, and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and fortable way, its nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really dont care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.51. How does the author understand Maxies word?A. Maxie shows her anxiety to the author.B. Maxie encourages the author to stay happy.C.

By saying “Have a nice day,” a stranger may_.A. share his pleasure with you.B. express respects to youC. give his blessing to youD. try to be polite to you54. According to the last paragraph, people say “Have a good day” _A. sincerelyB. as a habitC. as thanksD. encouragingly55. What is the best title of the passage?A. Have a Nice Day- a polite ending of a ConversationB. Have a Nice Day- a pleasant GestureC. Have a Nice Day- a heart-warming GreetingD. Have a Nice Day- a Social CustomBTwo 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 notdisease 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 accusation 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 strategyfor 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.56.This article is mainly about.A. the lives of school childrenB. how to deal with school conflictsC. how to analyze youth violenceD. the cause of arguments in schools57.From Paragraph 2 we can learn that_.A. violence is more likely to occur at lunchtimeB. a small conflict can lead to violenceC. the eating habit of a student is often the cause of a fightD. students tend to lose their temper easily58.Why do students need to ask themselves the questions stated in Paragraph 5?A.

Now it is an ecological disaster area. Naurus heartbreaking story could have one good consequence other countries might learn from its mistakes. For thousands of years, Polynesian people lived the remote island of Nauru, far from western civilization. The first European to arrive was John Fearn in 1798. He was the British captain of the Hunter, a whaling ship. He called the island Pleasant Island. However, because it was very remote, Nauru had little munication with Europeans at first. The whaling ships and other traders began to visit, bringing guns and alcohol. These elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island. A ten-year civil war started, which reduced the population from 1,400 to 900. Naurus real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining pany discovered phosphate (磷酸盐) on the island. In fact, it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate, which a very important fertilizer for farming. The pany began mining the phosphate. A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground; it is a strip mine. When a pany strip-mines, it removes the top layer of soil. Then it takes away the material it wants. Strip mining totally destroys the land. Gradually, the lovely island of Nauru started to look like the moon. In 1968, Nauru became one of the richest countries in the world. Every year the government received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate. Unfortunately, the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars. In addition, they used millions more dollars for personal expenses. Soon people realized that they had a terrible problem their phosphate was running out. Ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing. By 2000, Nauru was financially ruined. Experts say that it would take approximately $433,600,000 and more than 20 years to repair the island. This will probably never happen. 61. What might be the authors purpose in writing the text? A.

DSports accounts for a growing amount of ine made on the sales of mercial time by television panies. Many television panies have used sports to attract views from particular sections of the general public, and then they have sold audiences to advertisers.An attraction of sports programs for the major U.S. media pany is that events are often held on Saturday and Sunday afternoons the slowest time periods of the week for general television viewing. Sport events are the most popular weekend programs, especially among male viewers who may not watch much television at other times during the week. This means the television networks are able to sell advertising time at relatively high prices during what normally would be dead time for programming.Media corporations also use sports to attract mercial sponsors that might take their advertising dollars elsewhere if television stations did not report certain sports. The people in the advertising departments of major corporations realize that sports attract male viewers. They also realize that most business travelers are men and that many men make family decisions on the purchases of puters, cars and life insurance.Golf and tennis are special cases for television programming. These sports attract few viewers, and the ratings(收视率) are unusually low. However, the audience for these sports is attractive to certain advertisers. It is made up of people from the highest ine groups in the United States, including many lawyers and business managers. This is why television reporting of golf and tennis is sponsored by panies selling high-priced cars, business and personal puters, and holiday trips. This is also why the networks continue to carry these programs regardless of low ratings. Advertisers are willing to pay high fees to reach high-ine consumers and those managers who make decisions to buy thousands of “pany cars” and puters. With such viewers, these programs dont need high ratings to stay on the air.66.
