41、ge handler answered. “Hes going to London, but his bags are going to Tokyo.”I wont recommend that we use revenge to relieve stress.

43、this guy goes through life with a calmness I can only envy.

New York City even has a program for those interested in the food service industry, called Food and Finance High School.New York also has what are called internat

48、ional high schools, or internationals, for immigrant students. They must be new learners of English who have been in the United States less than four years. The first school opened in nineteen eighty-five. The city will begin the new term next month with ten.New York works with a nonprofit organizat

49、ion, the Internationals Network for Public Schools. Support from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has helped the network expand. The network says the graduation rate was seventy percent last year in the four New York schools open long enough to have graduating classes. That, compared with twent

50、y-three percent for English language learners in all of the city schools. Over all, New York officials recently reported that the citys four-year graduation rate, reached fifty-two percent last year. At the same time, they reported that the citys dropout rate fell below fifteen percent. The Internat

51、ionals Network says its schools have an average dropout rate of just five percent.Claire Sylvan is the executive director of the group. She says students drop out mainly because their families need them to work or because parents arrange marriages for girls.The Internationals Network mainly helps fi

52、nd teachers and trains them in the teaching method of the internationals. Claire Sylvan says the teaching approach is to have students use their different strengths to help each other.

But we may not realize that this can only be achieved by partnering with two new and strange allies(盟友)：uncertainty and confusion. Most of us arent trained to like confusi

59、on or to admit we feel hesitant and uncertain. In our schools and organizations, we place value on sounding certain and confident.As life continues to speed up, I believe our changing world requires less certainty and far more curiosity. Im not suggesting we let go of our beliefs, but that we become

60、 curious about what someone else believes. As we become open to the disturbing differences, sometimes we discover that anothers way of interpreting the world is actually essential to our survival.For me, the first step in becoming curious is to admit that Im not succeeding in figuring things out by

61、myself. If my solutions dont work as well as Id like, I take these as signs that its time to begin asking others what they think. I try to become a conscious listener, actively listening for differences.There are many ways to listen for differences. Lately, Ive been listening for what surprises me.

62、This isnt easy Im accustomed to sitting there, nodding my head as someone voices his opinions. But when I notice what surprises me, Im able to see my own views more clearly, including my assumptions.If youre willing to be disturbed and confused, I recommend you begin a conversation with someone who

63、thinks differently from you. Listen for whats different and what surprises you. Try to stop the voice of judgement or opinion and just listen. At the end, notice whether youve learned something new.We have the opportunity many times a day to be the one who listens to others and the one who is curiou

64、s rather than certain. When we listen with fewer judgements, we always develop better relationships with each other. Its not differences that divide us. Its our judgements that do. Curiosity and good listening bring us back together.As I consider partnering with confusion and uncertainty, Im learnin

65、g that we dont have to agree with each other in order to think well together. There is no need for us to be joined at the head. We are already joined by our hearts.66. According to the passage, when communicating with others, most of us try to behave_.A. hesitantly and confusedlyB. honestlyand harmo

66、niously C. responsibly and activelyD. confidently and convincingly67. According to the author, in order to cope with our changing world, we should _.A. reconsider traditional beliefs before accepting them.B. learn to interpret other peoples behavior.C. become more curious about other peoples opinion

Doubtful.第II卷（非选择题，共35分）第三部分：写作第一节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，并根据题目要求用英语回答问题（请注意问题后的字数要求）。 How do you keep a library when youve got no room for your books

70、? With rising rents and record numbers of young people having to move with their parents, its clear that we are a moving generation.As a student in Leeds I moved three times in four years; in London it was seven times in three years. Regularly having to load our possessions into laundry bags and box

71、es takes a lot of our finance and energy, but the effect on our book collections is rarely considered.Keeping a collection of beloved books in a damp flat with no shelves, which youll probably have to move out of in six months time, is a challenge. Deciding which books to keep and which to reject be

72、comes increasingly difficult. Do you hold on to the books you know youll reread or do you keep the to-be-read pile intact (完好无损的) ?Donating books to a charity shop or local school may be virtuous, but when you havent had time to read them since your last move, it becomes depressing. Theres a copy of

73、 Much Ado About Nothing Ive been moving around with for nearly a decade because it is the only piece of Shakespeare in the marketplace. “Just buy a Kindle!” you might argue but for many people, books are more than just books. They offer us an emotional connection to the past, to the person who gave

74、them to us. They are a way to brighten up a dark flat, they are a link to home; they are the hardest thing to move and the most enjoyable thing to unpack. So what if you are already facing your second move this year and cant bear the thought of pensioning off more of your beloved books? You start re

75、ading more. Read all the books in your current bedroom and work out if theyre worth the trip; give away as many books as you can; leave books with trusted friends to be reclaimed at a later point. Start looking at your books creatively.71. Why has the moving generation appeared? (no more than 15 wor

Whats worse, pets can make lots of noise and even attack people.I like animals, so I dont think it is bad to keep pets at home. But we must take some measures to prevent them from polluting our environment or causing other trouble.
