In Munro's eyes, ordinary lives always hide larger dramas. So she records what we casually think of as the everyday actions of normal people. She often focuses on life in her hometown, a small village in Ontario which she is most familiar with. She writes about the ordinary things in the village－fox forming, trees filled in the Ontario wilderness, poor country alcohol and long last illnesses. Above all, she talks about girls and women who have seemingly ordinary lives but struggle against daily misfortune. She has a special talent for uncovering the extraordinary in the ordinary. These are ordinary people, ordinary stories, but she has the magic. Her precise language, depth of detail and the logic of her storytelling have made her stories inviting.

Runaway, one of Munro’s representative works, is a good example of her writing style. One of the stories centers on the life of an ordinary woman Carla, who lives in a small Canadian town with her husband Clark. The story slowly forms a picture of Carla, trapped in a bad marriage, her unhappiness building into desperation until she decided to flee. The story of Carla is a story of the power and betrayals of love. It is about lost children and lots of chances that we can all find in life. There is pain beneath the surface, like a needle in the heart.

Since she published her first collection of short stories in 1968, Munro has won many awards, with the Nobel Prize being her biggest honor. On Oct. 10, 2013, the Nobel Prize committee named Munro the “master of the contemporary short story”.

Kids' health: Four steps for fighting stress

Everybody gets stressed from time to time. 【1】 Some ways of dealing with stress-like screaming or hitting someone - don't solve much. But other ways, like talking to someone you trust, can lead you to solving your problem or at least feeling better. Try taking these four steps the next time you are stressed:

(1) Get support. When you need help, reach out to the people who care about you. Talk to a trusted adult, such as a parent or other relatives. 【2】 They might have had similar problems, such as dealing with a test, or the death of a beloved pet.

(2) Don't take it out on yourself. Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they take it out on themselves. Oh, dear, that's not a good idea. Remember that there are always people to help you. Don't take it out on yourself. 【3】

(3) Try to solve the problem. After you're calm and you have support from adults and friends, it's time to get down to business. 【4】 Even if you can't solve it all, you can solve a piece of it.

(4) Be positive. Most stress is temporary. Remember stress does go away, especially when you figure out the problem and start working on solving it. These steps aren't magic, but they do work. And if you can stay positive as you make your way through a tough time, you'll help yourself feel better even faster. 【5】

A. Ask for a helping hand to get you through the tough situation.

B. Notice your friends' feelings and find a way to help them.

C. And don't forget about your friends.

D. You need to figure out what the problem is.

E. Ah, it feels so good when the stress is gone.

F. Different people feel stress in different ways.

G. Then, find a way to calm down.

Conflict is a normal part of any healthy relationship. After all, two people can’t be expected to agree on everything all the time. 【1】

Conflicts may be resolved in positive or negative ways. When they’re handled in a positive way, they provide an opportunity to strengthen the bond. 【2】 The following is a practical five-step process for conflict resolution.

◆Agree that you disagree. Make clear the issue that is causing the disagreement. Answer the question “What is this disagreement about?”

◆Take turns talking and listening. Use talking and listening skills to have a conversation about the problem. 【3】 Each person should also have an opportunity to listen to the other person’s point of view.

◆Restate what you hear. Reflect what the other person says to figure out his or her thought and feelings.【4】

◆Come up with a solution. Think of ideas that may solve the problem. You both should agree on the solution you choose.

◆【5】 If you are unable or unwilling to reach a solution, contact an unbiased(无偏见的)person who can offer objective and practical suggestions.

A. Get outside help if you need it.

B. State your point of view to others.

C. Ask questions if you don’t understand.

D. But when mismanaged, they can damage a relationship.

E. Each person should have an opportunity to say what he thinks.

F. Learning how to resolve conflicts helps relationships run more smoothly.

G. And when handled in a respectful way, they contribute to the relationship.

Hou Zhengfang, an education expert, questioned the benefits of military training. “It does little to improve students' physical health over only two weeks' time，” she said. “Maybe some disaster prevention training, such as earthquake survival or escaping from fires, would be of greater benefit.”

A freshman who fainted(晕倒) during training said that many students, especially girls, are unwilling to train in direct sunshine. “For me, military training is physically challenging and even damages my health，” said the 19－year－old.

Although Chu Jinjing, a Tsinghua University freshman, did feel some discomfort while training in the heat, the 18－year－old did recognize the benefits of military training. “By going through this tough(艰难的) training, I've become more independent and determined，” said Chu. “I have also managed to make a lot of friends.”

Wang Hui from Xi'an Jiaotong University sees the advantages of military training besides character building. “From senior high school to college, we join military training to start a new journey，” said Wang. “I would feel a bit incomplete without it.”

【1】Hou Zhengfang might advise the Ministry of Education to ________．

A. cut students' heavy study tasks

B. introduce other trainings for students

C. encourage students to work out

D. shorten the time of military training

【2】Chu Jinjing and Wang Hui mentioned all the benefits of military training EXCEPT ___．

A. developing friendship

B. improving students' health

C. building character

D. preparing students for college

【3】According to the passage, what is the author's attitude towards military training?

A. He supports it very much.

B. He is strongly against it.

C. He doesn't express his own opinions.

D. He thinks it's good for his health.

Doctors are starting to worry that younger and younger students are having back and neck problems as a result of school bags being too heavy for them.

“It’s hard for me to go upstairs with my bag because it’s so heavy,” said Rick Hammond, an 11-year-old student in the US.

Rick is among students who have common school bags with two straps (带子) to carry them, but many other students choose rolling bags(拉杆包).

But even with rolling bags, getting upstairs and buses is still a problem for children. Many of them have hurt their backs or necks because of the heavy school bags.

But how much is too much? Doctors say students should carry no more than 10% to 15% of their own body weight.

Scott Bautch, a doctor, said children under Grade 4 should stay with 10%. But it is also important that older children don’t stay with over 15%, because their bodies are still growing. “Children are losing their balance and falling down with their school bags,” he said.

Parents and teachers are starting to tell children to only take home library books they will be reading that night. Some teachers are using pieces of paper or thin workbooks for students to take home.

One of the best answers is, as some children said, to have no homework at all!

【1】From the passage we can know that .

A. only children in China carry too heavy school bags

B. both children in China and the US carry too heavy school bags

C. children in other countries don’t carry too heavy bags

D. only children in the US carry too heavy school bags

【2】If a child carries a heavy school bag, .

A. his back or neck will be hurt B. his head and arms will be hurt

C. his hands will be hurt D. his feet will be hurt

【3】According to Scott Bautch, if a child in Grade 5 weighs about 30 kilos, the school bag he carries should not be over ________.

A. 5 kilos B. 3 kilos

C. 5.5 kilos D. 4.5 kilos

【4】Some students think the best answer to this problem is that .

A. they should have a little homework to do after they get home

B. their teachers had better not ask them to do any homework

C. they should only take home library books they will read that night

D. they should use thin workbooks instead of thick ones
