Whether you are dealing with a loud sister or a stubborn mom or dad, the situation can be bad. At least thats what we have learned to expect.What if it could be different? What

2、 if family fights and conflicts could be turned into opportunities to become closer? What if problems could be solved with everyone walking away feeling more deeply cared for and loved?Family fighting is, on one level, about power. Someone is telling someone else what to do. In a short moment, emoti

3、ons can be brought out and the fight is on. You can go down that old road or you can try something different.In any fight, you have a need to be listened to and understood. People raise their voices and shout at each other because theyre not being listened to. Its totally unconscious. You want your

4、mom or dad to listen and understand. But you always seem to forget the person youre fighting with has the same need to be listened to. So if you can put aside your need for a few minutes, the situation will change quickly. Give the other person some time to express his or her feelings, and you will

5、earn your turn to be listened to.And while you are listening, you have to listen for the right information. The best way to do this in emotional situations is to forget most of the words because many people cant express what they are feeling with words alone, especially when they are upset.But if th

6、e situation starts to get out of hand, it would be wise to just calm down and leave the problem until later because many fights happen at the wrong time. The situation will die down quickly, usually in less than 30 seconds. You can either move on to problem solving or reach an agreement to work on i

7、t at a better time.This way, everyone will feel respected and listened to, even when there is conflict.

10、 on to problem solvingBOn the day the tornado hit, there was no sign severe weather was on its waythe sky was blue and the sun had been out. My husband Jimmy and I were watching TV upstairs.No sooner had we got the coverage of the tornado than it was on top of us. It was the loudest thing I have eve

11、r heard. The bones of the house shook, and the power went out. We had three flights of steps to get through to get to the relative safety of the first floor.As we struggled to reach the last flight of steps, our front door blew out. Pieces of glass that looked like crushed ice flew everywhere. Sudde

12、nly, a three-foot-long tree branch flew over our heads, missing us by inches. Had we been one step up, it would have impaled us.By the time I reached the closet, Jimmy pushed me down to the closet floor, but he couldnt get inside himself because of the wind. I grasped Jimmys arm and tried to bring J

13、immy with it. My knees and head were full of glass, but in that moment, I felt no pain. If I had let go, Jimmy would have flown right out the back of the house and into the bay.“Hold on! Hold on!” he yelled. But there was nothing in this closet to hold on to.All of a sudden, Jimmy lifted off his fee

14、t like people in tornadoes do in the movies. I thought he was gone. And then everything stopped. He landed on his feet. In those first quiet moments, I couldnt believe it was over. Jimmy said hed go outside to check. “No,” I said. “Dont leave me. Dont leave me.”Our neighbor says the storm lasted fou

15、r minutes. In that time, four of the twelve town houses in our unit were completely destroyed. Of the houses left standing, ours suffered the most damage. Amazingly, none of us were severely injured.4Which of the following sentences is NOT the evidence to show the tornado is violent?AIt was the loud

16、est thing I have ever heard.BThe bones of the house shook, and the power went out.COur neighbor says the storm lasted four minutes.DPieces of glass that looked like crushed ice flew everywhere.5From the passage, we can infer that_.AThe couple had predicted the arrival of the tornado in advance.BJimm

19、A serious accidentC In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship

20、between people.I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often lifeanddeath affairs. In their single-minded pursuit of success, the development of many other human qualiti

21、es is sadly forgotten.However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under

22、competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesnt matter because I really didnt try.

23、” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief

24、 that ones selfrespect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve can we discover a new meaning in competition.8What does this passage mainly talk about?ACompetition helps to set up

25、self-respect.BOpinions about competition are different among people.CCompetition is harmful to personal quality development.DFailures are necessary experiences in competition.9The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means _.Athose who try their best to winBthose who value competition m

26、ost highlyCthose who are against competition most stronglyDthose who rely on others most for success10What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a “desire to fail”？AOnes worth lies in his performance compared with others.BOnes success in competition needs great efforts.COnes a

27、chievement is determined by his particular skills.DOnes success is based on how hard he has tried.11Which point of view may the author agree to?AEvery effort should be paid back.BFear of failure should be removed in competition.CWinning should be a lifeanddeath matter.DCompetition should be encourag

28、ed.D Artificial intelligence can predict when patients with a heart disorder will die, according to scientists.The software learned to analyze blood tests and scans of beating hearts to spot signs that the organ was about to fail. The team, from the UKs Medical Research Council, said the technology

29、could save lives by finding patients that need more aggressive treatment. The results were published in the Journal of Radiology.According to the researchers, high blood pressure in the lungs damages part of the heart, and about a third of patients die within five years after being diagnosed. There

30、are treatments: drugs, injections straight into the blood vessels, a lung transplant. But doctors need to have an idea of how long patients might have left, in order to pick the right treatment.The software was given scans of 256 patients hearts, and blood test results. When this data was combined w

31、ith eight years of patient health records, the artificial intelligence predicted when patients would die.The software could look about five years into the future. It correctly predicted those who would still be alive after one year about 80% of the time. The figure for doctors is 60%.The team now wa

32、nt to test the software works in other patients in different hospitals before assessing whether it should be made widely available to doctors. The researchers also want to use the technology in other forms of heart failure, such as cardiomyopathy, to see who might need a pacemaker or other forms of

33、treatment.Dr Mike Knapton, from the British Heart Foundation, said, “This exciting use of computer software in medical practice will help doctors in the future to make sure that patients are receiving the correct treatment before the condition deteriorates and leaves them needing a lung transplant.

34、The next step is to test this technology in more hospitals with heart disease.”12What can artificial intelligence do according to the passage?APredicting how long a person with heart disease can survive.BHelping doctors diagnose people with heart disease.CObeying orders and reminding heart disease p

35、atients to take pills.DProducing medicine without side effects for heart disease patients.13What can we know about the software from the passage?AIt can make accurate long-term predictions.BIt has not yet been widely put into use.CIt can prevent high blood pressure in the lungs damaging part of the

36、heart.DIt can help doctors make sure that patients are receiving the correct treatment.14The underlined word “deteriorates” in the last paragraph probably means “_.”AcontinuesBworsensCexistsDimproves15The authors purpose of writing the text is most likely to _.AadvertiseBpersuade Cinform Dentertain第
