4．Thehostess（host） is very popular because she always makes her guests feel at home．

1．The waitress refused to make anapology（apologize） to the customer because she thought she was right．

8．Two 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 not disease or starvation or abandonment，but the terrible reality of violence"．Given that this is the case，why aren't 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 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，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 speaker's position．Then the two people should change roles．
Finally，students need to consider what they are bearing．This 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，"64percent of the teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom； 75percent of the teachers reported an increase in student cooperation； and 92percent 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．

11．ALL NEW REPTILE PETTING ZOO
at the Oak Park Nature Center
Kids!Are you tired of Mom or Dad dragging you to the same old petting zoos，where （if you're lucky） you might get to touch a little rabbit or goat？
Mom or Dad!Are you tired of hearing your kids complain about how animals in the same old petting zoos are monotonous？
Consider This：
The fact is that most mammals are boringly warm，furry，and come in a limited range of dull colors．Reptiles，on the other hand，are cold-blooded and covered with scale of attractive colors，from bright green to bright red to dark purple-red．Some，like the chameleon，can even CHANGE colors．Did you ever see a rabbit with scales and a purple tongue almost as long as its body？NO!In our zoos，you can see pet skink，snakes，bearded dragons，and other fascinating creatures!Learn what these reptiles eat and how they care for their babies，which ones live in the desert and which live in wetlands，which ones are meat-eaters and which are vegetarians，which ones are deadly poisonous and which are not．

8．BEING an astronaut sounds cool，doesn't it？In space，they get to do some pretty amazing things，like floating in zero gravity（重力）．
However，there are also plenty of things that astronauts can't do because of their weightless environment，and that's very sad．What's worse，they can't even let their sadness show-because it's impossible to cry in zero gravity．
Of course，astronauts can still produce tears．But crying is much more difficult in space，reported The Atlantic in January．Without gravity，tears don't flow downward out of the eyes like they do here on Earth．This means that when you cry in space，your tears have nowhere to go-they just stick to your eyes．
In May 2011，astronaut Andrew Feustel experienced this during one of his spacewalks．"Tears，"he said，"don't fall off of your eye…They just kind of stay there．"
Besides making your vision unclear，this can also cause physical pain．Back on Earth，tears are supposed to bring comfort to the eyes．But that's not the case in space．The space environment dries out astronauts'eyes，and when tears suddenly wet the eyes，it can cause pain rather than comfort．"My right eye is painful like crazy．"Feustel told his teammate during the walk．
Since gravity doesn't work in space，astronauts need some extra help to get rid of the tears．Feustel chose to rub his eyes against his helmet to wipe the tears away．Another choice is to just wait-"When the tears get big enough they simply break free of the eye and float around，"astronaut Ron Parise told The Atlantic．
There are lots of small things-things like crying-that we are so used to on Earth．We usually take them for granted，until they become a problem in a totally different environment，like space．There，astronauts can't talk to each other directly．They also can't eat or drink in normal ways．They can't even burp （打嗝），because there is no gravity to hold the food down in their stomach．If they do burp，they just end up throwing up （呕吐） everything in their stomach，according to the UK National Space Center．
Thus，perhaps it's only space explorers who can honestly say："Gravity，you're the best．"
24．What can we conclude from paragraphs 2 and 3？D
A．Astronauts are unable to feel sad in space．
B．Astronauts produce fewer tears in space．
C．Tears produced in space flow down more slowly．
D．Tears produced in space don't flow downward．
25．What effect do tears have on astronauts？A
A．They cause physical pain．
B．They bring comfort to them．
C．They make their vision clearer．
D．They float around and cause trouble．
26．What can the astronaut do to get rid of the tears？D
A．Rub his eyes against his helmet to let the tears float forward．
B．Rub his eyes by hand to let the tears float around．
C．Get the tears big enough to fall off of his eyes．
D．Get the tears big enough to break away from his eyes．
27．What's the second-to-last paragraph mainly about？B
A．Suggestions on how astronauts can stay comfortable in space．
B．Other basic things that are difficult to do in space．
C．Why burping is impossible in space．
D．Things that humans can't do without gravity．

9．Each new school year brings fresh reminders of what educators call the summer learning gap．Some call it the summer learning setback．Simply speaking，it means the longer kids are out of school，the more they forget．The only thing they might gain is weight．
Most American schools follow a traditional nine-month calendar with winter and spring breaks and about ten weeks of summer vacation．Some schools follow a year-round calendar．They hold classes for about eight weeks at a time，with a few weeks off in between．The National Association for Year-Round Education says there were fewer than 3，000such schools at last count．They were spread among forty-six of the fifty states．
But many experts point out that the number of class days in a year-round school is generally the same as in a traditional school．Lead researcher Paul von Hippel said，"Year-round schools don't really solve the problem of the summer learning setback．They simply spread it out across the year．"
Across the country，research shows that students from poor families fall farthe behind over the summer than other students．Experts say this can be prevented．They note that many schools and local governments offer programs that can help．
But calling them"summer school"could be a problem．The director of the summer learning center at Johns Hopkins，Ron Fairchild，said research with groups of different parents in Chicago and Baltimore found that almost all strongly disliked the term"summer school"．In American culture，the idea of summer vacation is connected to beliefs about freedom and the joys of childhood．The parents welcomed other terms like"summer camp，""extra time"and"hands-on learning．"

A．helps children to gain weight

D．Nothing can help the students who fall behind after the vacation．
30．Why did almost all parents dislike the term"summer school"？A
A．They attach importance to the children's rights of reedom very much．
B．They are worried about the quality of the"summer school"．
C．They want their children to be forced to make up the gap．
D．They can't afford the further study during the vacation．
31．What would be the best title of this passage？D
