it come from I asked I asked the Gates boy to cut it my mother said I wouldn t have had one just for myself but when in great need such a rush He just brought it in this afternoon The pine reached to the proper height almost to the ceiling and the Tree Top Crystal Star was in its place A few green branches reached out a little awkwardly at the side I thought and there was a bit of bare trunk showing in the middle But the tree filled the room with warm light and the whole house with the pleasant smell of Christmas It s not like the one you used to find my mother went on Yours were always

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 ease 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 Tiffs 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 41 From Paragraph 2 we can learn that A violence is more likely to occur at lunchtime B a small conflict can lead to violence C students tend to lose their temper easily D the eating habit of a student is often the cause of a fight 42 What does the underlined word conflict probably mean A 斗争 B 冲突 C 欺凌 D 辱骂 43 Why do students need to ask themselves the questions stated in Paragraph 5 A To find out who is to blame B To get ready to buy new things C To make clear what the real issue is D To figure out how to stop the shouting match 44 After the conflict resolution program was started in Atlanta it was found that A the teacher student relationship greatly improved B the students sense of responsibility was awoken C The students could deal with friends and teachers without any difficulty D there was a decrease in classroom violence 45 The writer s purpose for writing this article is to A call for people s attention to school violence B teach students different strategies for school life C advocate that schools should teach students how to deal with conflict D inform teachers of the latest studies on school violence 第二节 阅读填空 共 5 小题 每题 1 分
