A．Train conflict-management
B．Teach mutual respect
C．Guide children by personal examples
D．Recognize the existence of sibling conflict
E．Show appreciation for who your child is
F．Do not play favorites
76．Sibling conflict is as old as Cain and Abel，as legendary as Cinderella and her stepsisters and can be as deadly as the daughters of King Lear．Parents should know the battles are inevitable and must prepare their kids to defuse potentially ugly situations．And there will be times when parents must come to a child's defense and say，"We are family，and we will not say anything that doesn't build up one another．We will respect each other．"Use following tips for encouraging kindness in the home：D
77．Do not allow your children to insult one another．Words are extremely powerful，and snide comments can damage deeply．Experts say every negative comment needs at least five positive remarks to even out．Teach your children to be kind and to appreciate each other．Encourage your  kids to see each other's talents．Through recognizing these unique strengths，they will be able to work together well．B
78．Sibling rivalry usually originates from a child feeling that the other sibling is loved more，and in some cases when parents are being substantively unfair or show favoritism toward one child，this indeed may be the problem．In Genesis，we see the damage done by Jacob's favoritism of Joseph．Remember that all children are created equal，but not all children are the same．Recognize and praise each child's individual skills，strengths and accomplishments without implying that one child is somehow better．Be sure each child receives adequate parental interest and quality time．F
79．Do not deny your child's feelings，but help him learn to express emotions in an appropriate way．If you see your child acting jealously，encourage him to identify the emotion by saying，"I understand that you feel bad because…"or"I know you hurt because…"Helping your children figure out the causes of their actions will help them learn how to deal with problems in the future．A
80．Most parents realize children imitate what they see，so look at the example you set．Do you compete with your siblings？Or do you consistently show kindness to your brothers and sisters？By checking your actions，you can be better prepared to show your children how to emerge the best of friends following the inevitability of a little sibling conflict．C．

3．Living near the beach may come with an extra perk （利益）：better health．A new study analyzed information from more than 48million people in England and found that the nearer they lived to the coast，the more likely people were to report good health within the past year．
Living near the coast may be associated with better health because the seaside environment reduces stress，the researchers said．They pointed to another British study that found that people who took trips to the coast experienced more feelings of calmness and relaxation than those who visited urban parks or the countryside．
The difference from living near the coast was relatively small．But a small effect，when applied to an entire population can have a substantial impact on public health，said study researcher Ben Wheeler of Peninsula College of Medicine and Dentistry in Exeter，England．
However，it's too soon to advise people to hit the beach to improve health，Wheeler said．The study only found an association，not a cause-effect link，and it's possible that other factors could explain the results．For instance，it could be that people who are wealthier，and therefore healthier，are more able to move to desired locations such as the coast，Wheeler said，a phenomenon known as the migrant effect．But the study did find that the association between coastal living and better health was strongest for those living in the poorest areas，which perhaps indicates that wealth cannot explain the results，Wheeler said．
Because the study looked at only England-an island country in which everyone lives within 72miles of the coast-it's not clear whether the findings would apply to other populations．Far from England，a health expert not involved in the study said that while the British research certainly doesn't prove that people's health and the place they live are linked，it's possible that proximity to the seas does something for our bodies．
If future studies confirm the results，the next step would be to find out it is what coastal environments that can benefit health．Wheeler said it may then be possible to bring those benefits to people living in other areas，through virtual environments，for instance．

19．According to researchers，money can buy happiness，but only if you spend it on someone else．
Spending as little as 5 a day on someone else could significantly bring you happiness，the team at the University of British Columbia and Harvard Business School found．Their experiments  on more than 630 Americans showed they were measurably（适度地）happier when they  spent money on others---even if they thought spending the money on themselves would make them happier．"We wanted to test our theory that how peoplespend their money is at least asi mportant as how much money they earn，"said Elizabeth Dunn，a psychologist at the University of British Columbia．They asked their 600 volunteers first to rate their general happiness，report their annual income and detail their monthly spending including bills，gifts for themselves，giftsfor others and donations to charity（慈善机构）．"Regardless of  how much income each person made，those who spent money on others reported greater happiness，while those who spent more on themselves did not，"Dunn said in a statement．Dunn's team also surveyed（调查）16 employees at acompany in Boston before and after they received an annual profit-sharingbonus（奖金）of between3，000 and 8，000．"Employeeswho devoted more of their bonus to pro-social（有益社会的）spending experienced greater happiness after receiving the bonus，and the manner in which they spent that bonus was a more important predictor（预示）oftheir happiness than the size of the bonus itself，"they wrote in their report，published in the journal Science．They gave  their volunteers 5 or20 and half got clear instructions on how to spend it．Those who spentthe money on someone or something else reported feeling happier about it．"These findings suggest that veryminor alterations（改动）in spending allocations（分配）---as little as $5---may be enough to produce real gains in happiness on a given day，"Dunn said．

16．Let's face it：while we go to the office to work，no one is expected to keep their head down the entire time they're there．Yet companies expect （51）A out of their employees：that's why they're paying you to be there．No talking or socializing at all is one （52）C，while the other is being able to talk to whomever you want，whenever you want，about whatever you want，even if you never quite manage to make it to your desk until 11：00a．m．Both examples are （53）D unrealistic．So first we have the entire gray area in between those two，and that's just during office time．
The phrase"people-oriented"is generally used to （54）B something that vaguely represents a company where everyone is pleasant and happy．It's fun to work there，everyone likes his or her job and each employee is （55）D well and fairly．Know any companies like that？People-oriented is a traditional and unclear phrase that needs （56）A to make sure your definition is the same as the company's and that you can spot a （57）B if there is one．
So what do you mean by people-oriented？Do you want a company that promotes from within and doesn't （58）C gathering at the water cooler？A company where management makes a practice of being （59）B？A place where customers are of great （60）A both in philosophy and actuality，or one that is involved in its community and requires each （61）B to join or participate in a specific event once or twice each year？When you look closer at what this phrase means to you，you'll discover that some aspects are more important to you than others．Knowing what you mean by this phrase gives you the power to discover if the company's （62）C is the same as yours．
Why bother leaving a message that may not be （63）D for days when you can reach someone instantly with a text or instant message？That seems to be increasingly dominant viewpoint，anyway．When texting and instant messaging for （64）A needs，keep in mind some tips from workplace and career experts．

3．The Entropia Universe
The Entropia Universe is a virtual world on the Internet，which seems very like our real life．It is set in a distant future and based on a planet called Calypso．Entropia was the brainchild of a group of Swedish computer lovers who decided to see if they could create a three dimensional （维度的） virtual world that could be placed on the Internet．They did manage after they received the financial backing they needed．
The game can be played for free，but nearly all in-game activities require personal resources that you have available to use．Although there are various activities to keep you busy on Calypso，what most people do first is to find themselves a profession，such as hunting the fierce animals on Calypso，mining the precious minerals and making tools．Then they can think about buying their virtual house or paying a visit to a virtual nightclub or doing any of the other activities that make life bearable．
Entropia has its very own economy （经济） and its own currency，the PED （Project Entropia Dollars）．Players move real world money into PED which they then use to pay for their life on Calypso．However，the virtual things inside Entropia do have a real value in the outside world，and careful business deals mean that players can actually make real money there．PED can be changed into dollars any time at a rate of 10PED to 1US﹩．
What's so impressive about The Entropia Universe is the number of players； currently more than 600，000 representing over 220 countries from planet Earth．A number of players insist that it's a good way to make money．However，the reality of Entropia's economic system is that most people end up paying more than they earn and it's not uncommon to find players who are paying up to﹩200 a month into their PED account．This might not be the most economical way of spending one's free time．However，some people say that for them the fact that they can escape the realities of the earthbound life and become a different person with a completely different life for a few hours every week is worth the use of money，even if they don't get any interest rates on it．

63．What can we learn about The Entropia Universe？A
A．It costs nothing to join．
B．It focuses on business plans．
C．It is designed for computer lovers．

20．As in the field of space travel，new technologies continue to appear in undersea exploration．They share a number of similarities with each other-as well as some important differences．
Manned submersibles （潜水器），like spaceships，must maintain living conditions in an unnatural environment．While a spaceship must simply be sealed against the vacuum space，a submersible must be able to bear extreme pressure if it is not to break up in deep water．
In exploring space，unmanned vehicles were employed before astronauts．In undersea exploration，on the other hand，men paved the way，and only recently have unmanned remote-operated vehicles （ROVs） been put to use．
One reason for this is that communicating with vehicles in orbit is much easier than talking to those underwater．A vacuum is an ideal medium for radio communications，but underwater communications are limited to much slower sound waves．Thus，most undersea vehicles-particularly ROVs-operate at the end of long ropes．（电缆终端）
For a similar reason，knowing where you are undersea is much more difficult than in space．A spaceship's position can be located by following its radio signal，or by using telescopes and radar．For an undersea vehicle，however，a special network of sonar （声纳系统）devices must be laid out in advance on the ocean floor in the area of a dive to locate the vehicle's position．
Though undersea exploration is more challenging than outer space in a number of respects，it has a distinct advantage：going to the ocean depths doesn't require the power necessary to escape Earth's gravity．Thus，it remains far less expensive．
64．The purpose of the passage isD
A．to persuade you to explore the depths of the ocean
B．to stress the importance of the undersea exploration
C．to make you believe that the undersea exploration is better
D．to tell some differences between two kinds of explorations 
65．By saying"men paved the way"in Paragraph 2 the author means that in undersea explorationC．
A．unmanned vehicles were used in the beginning
B．men covered the ocean floor with stones and bricks
C．manned vehicles were employed before unmanned ones      
D．men invented unmanned remote-operated vehicles in the past
66．The sonar devices must be placedC．
A．from time to time               
B．after the undersea vehicles dive
C．before the undersea vehicles dive
D．when the undersea vehicles are diving
67．What can we infer from the passage？C
A．Submersibles usually break up in deep water．
B．Undersea vehicles can receive signals immediately．
C．Going to space needs power to escape the gravity．
D．Radio communications are quite difficult in a vacuum．
17．In Singapore，most of us love window-shopping while some others enjoy having a picnic at East Coast Park or Changi Beach on sunny days．Singaporeans are never bothered by the occasional thunderstorm．However，we know that if it rains for long continuous periods，there will be more serious effects．Just recently the main shopping street of Orchard Road was flooded and some part of Bukit Timah was impassable to traffic．People reacted by writing in to the newspaper to complain about this!We forget that other countries suffer much worse effects．Elsewhere，heavy tropical（热带的）storms often result in floods that ruin erops especially in Thailand and Malaysia．This in turn usually means that the price of rice and vegetables here in Singapore will rise because we import these products from them．If there is a typhoon or tsunami，thousands of lives are lost too．This happened in Indonesia and Phuket in Thailand in 2004 and it serves to remind us of how Mother Nature can cause great damage．
Weather patterns in general have changed dramatically in recent years．Scientists believe that global warming and the resulting melting of the polar ice-cap has caused the level of the ocean to rise．This in turn causes flooding of low-lying areas in countries where the land is rather flat and some parts of which is below water level．It is believed that human activities have caused Mother Nature to show her extreme anger，so it is now important that we really work together to cut down on harmful activities，for example，illegal logging（伐木）or irresponsible forest-burning to clear land for farming．
56．From Paragraph 1，we can see that most Singaporeans loveC．
A．making complaints       
B．going out for picnics
C．doing window-shopping   
D．traveling along the coast
57．What will happen in Singapore if there are floods in its neighboring countries？B
A．Heavy tropical storms will follow shortly．
B．The price of rice and vegetables will go up．
C．Many people will write in to the newspaper．
D．More rice and vegetables will be imported．
58．The underlined word"it"in Paragraph 2 refers toD．
A．the arrival of heavy tropical storms
B．the import of rice and vegetables
C．the rising price of rice and vegetables
D．the loss of lives in natural disasters
59．Which of the following shows how the low-lying areas are flooded？A
a．global warming
b．the rise in ocean level
c．harmful human activities
d．the flooding of low-lying areas
e．the melting of the polar ice-cap
A．c→a→e→b→d       
B．a→c→e→b→d       
C．c→a→b→e→d       
D．d→a→c→b→e
60．What should we do in order not to make Mother Nature angry？B
A．Clear more land for farming
B．Reduce harmful human activities．
C．Bring down the price of food
D．Improve the quality of weather．
18．BEIJING-The rescue operations at a coal mine accident have ended with 105miners dead．The State Council has organized an investigation team to probe （调查） into what caused the disaster in the city of Linfen，North China's Shanxi Province．Preliminary（初步的） investigations show the illegal mining of an unauthorized seam（未经授权的煤层），and the number of miners who had been sent down the shaft far exceeded its capacity．
This mine was found to have long ignored the rules to steal state coal，and did not have a list of miners employed to check the number of miners missing after the accident．
How did such a coal mine get all the necessary licenses for production？How did it pass the three safety inspections the local government organized last month？
In response to this disaster，the Shanxi governor promised to set up hotlines for people to report illegal coal mines and rewards as high as 100，000yuan for  tip-offs．
We appreciate the action this governor has taken to solving the coal mining problems，and we believe that the reporting scheme will help to stop the existence of illegal coal mines．
But at the same time we have reason to question how governments at various levels supervise these mines．
The sad fact that such a mine with serious safety problems could pass three consecutive （连续的）local government safety inspections in a month is enough to tell us how ineffective the safety inspections were．
What if these inspections were just a formality（形式）？What if the inspectors were bribed by the mine owners to turn a blind eye to the safety dangers？We can well imagine what would happen if reports about mine problems were handled by such officials．
So a thorough probe must find out who are responsible for the death of so many miners．A real safety inspection and management system must be established to guarantee that safety dangers will be removed．

64．What is NOT one of the causes of this coal mine accident？A
A．The workers didn't operate properly．
B．The mine didn't obey the rules to mine for coal．
C．A lot more miners than allowed were working under the mine．
D．The safety inspections were ineffective．
65．According to the writer，who should be further investigated？C
A．Mine owners and miners．
B．Miners'families and mine staff．
C．Government officials and safety inspectors．
D．The Shanxi governor and miners．
66．What can we infer from the passage？B
A．More than 105miners died in the disaster．
B．Some other coal mines like this one exist in Shanxi province．
C．Safety inspectors just turned a blind eye to hidden dangers．
D．The three inspections were only a formality．
67．What does the underlined word"tip-offs"probably mean in Paragraph 4？C
A．Some warnings．
B．Some money for one's service．
C．Some secret information．
D．Some pieces of advice．
