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．

"There was a sheriff（治安官） （43）Cof us kids liked．One night，my two friends and I decided to play a （44）Con him
"After drinking a few beers，we climbed the tall water tank in the middle of the town，and （45）Bin bright red paint：SHERIFF BROWN IS A S．O.0．B．（畜生）．The next day，almost the whole （46）Bsaw our"glorious sign．Within two hours，Sheriff Brown had us in his office．My friends told the truth but I （47）D．No one ever found out．
"Nearly 20years later，Sheriff Brown's （48）Aappeared on my list．I didn't even know if he was still （49）D．Last weekend，I managed （50）Bto him by phone and said，‘I want you to know that I did it．'
"‘I knew it!'he yelled back．
"We had a good （51）Dand a lively discussion．His dosing words were：‘Jimmy，I always felt （52）Dfor you because your friends got it off their chest，（53）Ayou were carrying it around all these years．'"
Jimmy inspired me to （54）Call the 22items on my list within two years'and I al-ways remember what I learned from the （55）C：It's never too late to right the past wrongdoings．

Today，the Internet is in a few cars； tomorrow，broadband （宽带） will be in all of them．Any capability a personal computer has，a car will have，including two-way wireless communications for receiving e-mail，music，and movies．When you're crossing the lonely place，the kids can watch TV if they're bored．Every passenger will have a video feed．
77．C
Every car will have a self-driving system linked to GPS satellites．Radar sensors （传感器） will track nearby cars．On the freeway，they'll slow your car when the car ahead of you slows； in town，they'll help you park without hitting other cars．At rush hour，you'll get the routes around traffic jams and accidents．The self-driving system in a car makes it possible for the car to drive itself，though some scientists say that's 30to 40years off．

Motor vehicles today represent 20to 30percent of the world's energy use．In the near future，a small gasoline engine and an electric motor will be brought together．Drivers will use electricity in a storage battery for short distances．Longer term，cars might burn hydrogen or use a fuel cell that converts a fuel like hydrogen and combines it with oxygen to create power．Then the waste will be pure water．
79．B
You'll use the voice control："Make it a bit cooler"or"find me country music"．Lighter，more reliable electronic controls replace mechanical controls．Fiber optics （光纤） replace electrical wires and light bulbs．Seats will be air-conditioned．The car will travel with one side higher than the other when turning，just as an airplane does now．

Cars will avoid some accidents by maintaining safe following distances，and by sensing sleepy or drunk drivers．Air bags will adapt for every passenger according to their size，weight，and position in case accidents happen．

A world record is every athlete's dream，but the hard-won records of a few years ago are mostly just today's qualifying times．Roger Bannister's famous four-minute mile of 1956has been beaten by nearly 15seconds，while almost an hour and twenty minutes has been taken off the women's marathon since.1953．‘Faster，higher，stronger'，is the Olympic motto，and today's competitors continue to push back the boundaries of what the body can achieve．But one wonders if this can continue．
77．E
The last forty years have seen many important technological advances．For example，since the introduction of strong flexible，fiberglass poles，over a meter has been added to the pole vault record．There have also been important developments in the design of the running shoe．And while a shoe won't actually make someone run faster，modern shoes do mean many more miles of comfortable，injury-free training．
78．C
Pushing back the limits now depends more on science，technology and medicine than anything else．Athletic technique，training programmes and diets are all being studied to find ways of taking a few more seconds off or adding a few more centimetres to that elusive world record．It seems that natural ability and hard work are no longer enough．
79．B
The research to find more efficient ways of moving goes on．Analysis of an athlete's style is particularly useful for events like jumping and throwing．Studies show that long jumpers need to concentrate not on the speed of approach，as once thought，but on the angle their bodies make with the ground as they take off．However，the rules governing each sport limit advances achieved by new styles．For instance only one-footed takeoffs are allowed in the high jump．
80．D
In the future，it should be possible to develop a more individual approach to training programmes．Athletes will keep detailed diaries and collect data to help predict the point when training becomes overtraining，the cause of many injuries．If athletes feed all their information into a database，it may then be possible to predict patterns and to advise them individually when they should cut．
