2．Arguments happen in every healthy relationship-we know it sounds contradictory，but it's true-but they can still have a negative impact if they aren't handled properly．（31）F
Take a breath．We know that it can be hard to think clearly when you are angry，so we would first like to encourage you to try to take a second to collect your thoughts before engaging in a dialogue with your partner．（32）CIf you are not careful you could potentially say what might damage your relationship．
Take the situation as it is．Even though you are angry and it can be hard to be objective，try to see the situation for what it is．Do not escalate （不断恶化） the argument．（33）GTry to understand the purpose behind the action-if something happened accidentally，you should not treat as if it were done intentionally．
（34）B If you have done something wrong，the best possible option for you is to admit it．Denying something only makes it more hurtful and often your partner will be able to forgive you much more quickly if you are honest．
Set ground rules．After a fight you and your partner can have a heart-to-heart talk of what happened．（35）E At this point you can set some ground rules for future fights，like not cursing each other or calling each other's names，which might help reduce the intensity of your fights．
Fighting with someone is never easy．And it's especially difficult when you are arguing with someone that you care about．Thinking carefully and controlling yourself during an argument can help you avoid saying something that could permanently hurt your relationship．

A．Take positive action．
B．Avoid making excuses．
C．Anger can be poisonous．
D．Here is how to maintain good relationship．
E．You can discuss what hurts each of you and how you can move forward．
F．The trick to prevent an argument from destroying your relationship is learning how to fight fair．

1．Emily and her boyfriend had just had a fight．She felt alone and hopeless．Then she went into the kitchen and grabbed what she needed before going back up to her room quietly．She switched on the TV and started eating…and eating…for hours，until it was all gone．
What Emily didn't know at the time was that she was suffering from an illness called binge-eating disorder（BED）（暴饮暴食）．
For years，Emily didn't tell anyone what she was doing．She felt ashamed，alone，and out of control．Why don't famous people confess （承认） to BED，as they do to anorexia？It's simple：There's a stigma（污名）involved．"Overeating is seen as very bad，but dieting to be skinny is seen as positive and even associated with determination，"says Charles Sophy，a doctor in Beverly Hills，California．
"Some parents or friends may look at a teen with BED and think，'Oh，a good diet and some will-power will do the trick．'But that's not true，"says Dr．Ovidio Bermudez，a baby doctor at the Eating Recovery Center in Denver．"Eating disorders are real physical and mental health issues； it's not about willpower．"The focus in treating BED shouldn't be on weight，because as with all eating disorders，the behaviors with food are a symptom of something deeper．
Like most other diseases，genetics may play a big part in who gets BED and who doesn't．If you have a close relative with an eating disorder，that means you're more likely to develop an eating disorder of your own．
Besides，many people with BED have tried at some point or another to control it by going on a diet，but paying more attention to food doesn't help．And it might even make things worse，like it did for Carla，who's 15now and is recovering from BED．"My parents would always tease me about my weight，so when I was 14，I went on a very restrictive diet，"she says．When you can't have something，you only want it more，so every time Carla would have a bite of something that wasn't allowed on her strict diet．She would quickly lose control and binge （狂欢）．

29．According to Dr．Ovidio Bermudez，people with BEDD．
A．just need a lot of willpower

30．What can we learn from Carla's story？C
A．BED is an incurable disease．

20．Last year，I was on a plane with my friend，waiting for it to take off．The pilot's voice was heard throughout the plane："Sorry for the delay，ladies and gentlemen．Our engines don't work．We are going to jump-start them．Once we get them going，we'll get up in the air and see what happens．"
That was all he said．"See what happens？Shouldn't we have had a better plan than that？"At that point，I could only laugh nervously．One woman started crying："Oh，no!We are going to crash!"There are sighs of desperation and anxiety，and we hadn't even taken off yet．
The pilot even seemed unhappy．He told us one engine was working double time，and his plan was to get up in the air and see what happens!Then we did．We got up in the air，and what happened？Nothing．We arrived in Norfolk，and no sooner had the wheels touched down than applause burst out as everyone on the airplane breathed a sigh of relief．
All too often，people stop achieving their goals just because they don't have a guaranteed result．But success will never be guaranteed．The best thing that you can do is to just get up in the air，and see what happens．
If your aim is to build a business，then get up in the air and see what happens!Don't give yourself all the reasons why you can't．Do not wait until you have everything you need．You never will．
If your goal is to start a friendship，say"Hello"，get up in the air and see what happens!The results could be very rewarding．If your goal is to learn a new skill，get up in the air and see what happens!It might not be as difficult as you think．It could be fun!

13．With its fascinating and artistic accompanying music，singing and costumes，the Peking Opera is China's national opera．Full of Chinese cultural facts，the opera presents the audience with an encyclopedia（百科全书）of Chinese culture，as well as developing stories，beautiful paintings，magnificent costumes，graceful gestures and martial arts．Since Peking Opera enjoys a higher reputation than other local operas，almost every province in China has more than one Peking Opera troupe．Opera is so popular among Chinese people，especially seniors，that even"Peking Opera Month"has been declared．
Peking Opera's main tune originated from Xipi and Erhuang in Anhui and Hubei and，over time，techniques from many other local operas were incorporated into Peking Opera．
It is believed that Peking Opera gradually came into being after 1790when the famous four Anhui opera troupes came to Beijing．Peking Opera experienced fast development during the period of Emperor Qianlong and the infamous Empress Cixi，eventually becoming more accessible to the common people．
In ancient times，Peking Opera was performed mostly on stage in the open air，teahouses or temple courtyards．Since the orchestra played loudly，the performers developed a sharp style of singing．The costumes were a gorgeous collection of sharply contrasting colors to stand out on the stage lighted only by oil lamps．Peking Opera is a harmonious combination of the Grand Opera，ballet and acrobatics （杂技），consisting of dance，dialogue and martial arts．
The Peking Opera band mainly consists of an orchestra and percussion（打击乐器）band．The former frequently accompanies peaceful scenes while the latter provides the right atmosphere for battle scenes．The orchestral instruments include the Erhu，Huqin，Yueqin，Sheng，Pipa and other instruments．The band usually sits on the left side of the stage．
