the room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. confused, i glanced toward my stone-faced teacher. having no choice, i slowly raised the report i had slaved over, hoping to hide myself. “what could be causing everyone to act this way?”quickly, i flashed back to the day miss lancelot gave me the task. this was the first real talk i received in my new school. it seemed simple: go on the internet and find information about a man named george washington. since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, i had never heard of that name before. as i searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! one invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across america. i stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. i called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice; flip (掷) a coin. heads the commander, and tails the peanuts guy. ah! tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, george washington carver.weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, i was totally lost. oh well, i lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what i had done wrong. as a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “my report is on george washington, the man who started the american revolution.” the whole world became quite! how could i know that she meant that george washington?obviously, my grade was awful. heartbroken but fearless, i decided to turn this around. i talked to miss lancelot, but she insisted: no re-dos; no new grade. i felt that the punishment was not justified, and i believed i deserved a second chance. consequently (因此), i threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. ten months later, that chance unfolded as i found myself sitting in the headmasters office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. i smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade. justice is sweet!63. what did the authors classmates think about his report?a. controversial (引起争议的). b. boring.c. unreasonable (离谱的，荒唐的) d. puzzling.64. why was the author confused about the task?a. he was unfamiliar with american history.b. he followed the advice and flipped a coin.c. he forgot his teachers instruction.d. he was new at the school.65. the underlined word “burning” in para. 3 probably means _.a. annoyed b. ashamed c. ready d. eager66. in the end, the author turned things around _.a. by redoing his task b. through his own effortsc. with the help of his grandfather d. under the guidance of his headmasterdtwo friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever，even though neither once 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，namecalling，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 nonthreatening 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 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 thing
