Tolerance: Respect the differences in others
You may not realize it, but you are doing much more than just studying when you are at school. School is also the place 36 you socialize and learn to get along with people. But this is 37 easy. What can you do 38 you just don’t like one of your classmates?
If you discover that you have problems 39 your classmates or friends, the most important thing to learn is tolerance. Tolerance is the 40 to recognize and respect the 41 in others. We cannot change the way that other people act, 42 it is important to learn to live happily with them.
Practicing tolerance will allow everyone to form better 43 with each other. Getting to know someone 44 help you understand why they do things 45 from you. It is important to remember that just because something is different does not mean that it is bad. 46 teaches us to keep an even temper and open mind.
One thing to 47 is the old saying, “Treat others how you want 48 ”. You would like to be treated kindly by your classmates, so it is 49 to treat them with equal kindness. If you tolerate 50 it does not mean that you have to like it. No one is asking you to 51 who you are or what you believe in. Tolerance just means that you will be 52 of the differences in others and not try to make them change.
It is important to 53 tolerance because it will make everyone’s lives easier. Learn to accept people for their different abilities and interests. The world is a very 54 , and practicing tolerance in your own school and city can help make 55 .

解析:
你是否爱生气?是否爱发火?是否爱看不惯?是否经常伤害周围的人?……于是,你常常问自己:“为什么我不快乐?”宽容,是生活中的一缕阳光,一片朝霞,一场润物细无声的春雨。以律人之心律已,以恕已之心恕人,多一点对别人的宽容,我们的生命就多了一份自由和快乐。
36. 此处where引导定语从句,并在从句中作地点状语。
37. 根据But可以看出“这并不总是那么容易。”
38. 如果你不喜欢你的某个/一个同学,你该怎么办?
39. 根据上文提示得出答案。意思是“在与……交往(get along with)……。”
40. 宽容是认可和尊重别人(身上)的差异的能力。其他不符合句意。
41. 宽容是认可和尊重别人(身上)的差异的能力。其他不符合句意。
42. 前边表示的是原因,所以用so,,而and 则表示“并且,和”,前面的句子不表示并列关系,故不用and。but表示转折;though表示让步,都不和语境。
43. 本文谈的是人际关系。句意为“彼此间形成更好的关系。”
44. may可以,其他词太绝对,can表示能力。
45. differently from…结构。
46. 本文谈论的主题就是宽容(Tolerance)。
47. keep in mind意为“记住”,前面的one thing为keep的宾语。其他不符语境。
48. 本句意思为“自己想让别人怎样对待你,你就去怎样对待别人。”所谓“已所不欲,勿施与人”。
49. 这一点很重要。
50. 如果你宽容了某事。something表示“某事”。要准确区别anything 与everything在肯定句中所表达的意义。something, anything, nothing, everything仍是高考考查重点。
51. 没有人要求你去改变(你)自己。
52. be respect of“尊重”。尊重“差异”,回归主题。
53. 根据第三段开头得出答案。
54. 世界是多样花的,丰富多彩的。Diverse=different。
55. make a difference为固定短语,意为“有关系;有影响;有意义”;make no difference“没有区别/影响”
Should parents ever hit their children?
Research suggests many of us are likely to respond “no”, and public support for spanking (打屁股) has been falling over the years. But surveys also show that 75 percent to nearly 90 percent of parents admit spanking their child at least once.
I was raised in a zero-tolerance( 零容忍) home for disrespect, and my parents often turned to physical punishment. And, no, I don’t feel I was damaged by it.
Nothing is more annoying than watching ill-mannered behavior from children.
But there is data to suggest that a return to old-school spanking isn’t the answer.
Two years ago , Newsweek reported that it had found data suggesting that teens whose parents used physical punishment were more likely to become aggressive(好斗的).
Murray Straus, professor at the University of New Hampshire in America, has studied the topic of children and spanking for decades. He said that children who were physically punished have lower IQs than their peers. It may be that children with lower IQs were more likely to get spanked, but the punishment may have been counterproductive (反作用) to their mental development, as well.
Some researchers make the argument that occasional open-handed smacks (用巴掌打) on the bottom are not only harmless but can have some benefit.
Last year, Marjorie Gunnoe, a psychologist at Calvin College, studied teens who have never been spanked. There are a greater number of children growing up without ever having been physically punished. Gunnoe’s research suggests they don’t turn out any better than those who were sometimes spanked.
There are some parents who simply cannot control their tempers. But I still believe that the best parents are the ones who are able to offer fair and firm discipline (管教) without ever turning to physical punishment.
