Sometimes you find yourself in a situation where you find it hard to tolerate someone’s actions or words. Try to understand where each person is coming from, and avoid making it into a personal battle. You can try to develop a more tolerant attitude by learning about different people, developing confidence in yourself, and coming to appreciate differences. 1.

Make efforts to understand someone else. You may have very different backgrounds and experiences. 2. So try to see things from his side.

Ask for an explanation. If you are talking to someone and he says something that you find hard to accept, you can figure out his perspective without being intolerant. 3. For example, you might say something like, “OK, tell me more about that. What makes you think that？” Anyway, remember that tolerance does not mean accepting unacceptable behavior.

4. This may be a more negative kind of tolerance than learning to accept and value differences, but it can be useful. To do this you would have to avoid certain topics of conversation, or swiftly change the subject when necessary.

Deal with a conflict. When you have difficulty tolerating someone’s actions or words, you can start by calmly describing what you find offensive.5.And you should then explain how the problem would be dealt with.

A.Try to ignore your differences.

B.Use “I” statements rather than “you” statements.

C.Start by stating what you think a good situation is.

D.Try to understand his views well by asking him to explain them.

E.Here are tips that help you tolerate others in difficult situations.

F.What seems obvious to you might seem strange to someone else.

G.Next, try to get a better understanding of each other’s views about it.

Mass communication has been growing and affecting the way communities and people behave. At every stage of the development of communication, from the telegraph to the Internet, societies have had to adapt to its effects. But have the effects been more positive or negative?

The saying “Knowledge is power” has been an excellent motivator for people to improve their lives, but today the massive amount of information available through the Internet doesn’t always seem to to be helping people in the way we had hoped.Rather than improving people’s lives and bringing us closer together, the information age is making us more divided and irresponsible.

If you want to become a fluent English speaker you should take some advice. There are four skills in learning English. They are reading, listening, speaking, and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills, you should first master the skills of reading and listening.

Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentence, the meaning of the unfamiliar(不熟悉) words, etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammars or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across, but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example, in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.

As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening.

For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy. Or if you are good at listening you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes.

If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve quickly, and you can be a fluent English speaker one day.

1.According to the writer, which should you improve first among the four skills?

A.Reading and listening. B.Reading and writing

C.Writing and speaking. D.Speaking and listening.

2.To improve your reading, when you read you should ______.

A.look up all the new words in the dictionary

B.think about what you are reading actively

C.spend more time studying grammars

D.copy as many words and sentences as possible

3.The underlined phrase “come across” in Paragraph 2 can probably be replaced by “______”.

A.hear B.discover C.meet by accident D.look for

4.The passage is mainly about how to ______.

A.choose suitable listening materials

B.deal with new words in reading

The WHO says that 80% of the world’s teens don’t get enough exercise to live healthy lives. The report was based on research done with students aged 11 to 17 in 146 different countries. 1. It’s a pity that not much has changed since then, as the WHO reports.

Doctors say 60 minutes of exercise daily is needed for teens to build up their bone and muscle strength. It’s also hugely important for the health of the heart and lungs. 2. Besides, more and more research is showing that exercise doesn’t just help the body, but also the brain, improving thinking, test scores, and school grades.

3. They were also very different between boys and girls. In the US, for example, 64% of boys were not active enough, compared to 80% of girls. South Korea was the country with the lowest activity levels — 91% of the boys and 97% of the girls didn’t get enough exercise.

One big reason for the lack of activity in today’s teens is technology, such as smartphones, computers and TVs. Many teens find it hard to pull themselves away from them. 4.

So the WHO warns that teens need to do less playing in the digital world, and more playing in the real world. Teens should take part in sports, whether on official teams or just playing around on the playground. 5. For many people, walking or biking to school is one way to make that happen. It’s very important for young people to build these habits now, because the positive effects of those habits can carry through into adult life.

A.Exercise benefits you academically.

B.Activity levels vary from country to country.

C.The WHO has spared no effort in the research.

D.Such inactivity can severely affect their growth.

E.Exercise can also be built into a normal day’s activities.

F.Regular activity can help them control their weight, too.

G.The WHO has been studying teen activity levels since 2001.

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(繁荣). Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship 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 life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.

However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which only values the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under 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 doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.” 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 true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self-respect 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 disappear can we discover a new meaning in competition.

1.Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?

A.It pushes society forward. B.It builds up a sense of duty.

C.It improves personal abilities. D.It encourages individual efforts.

2.The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in paragraph 3 means_____.

A.those who try their best to win

B.those who value competition most highly

C.those who are against competition most strongly

D.those who rely on others most for success

3.What is the similar belief of the true competition and those with a “desire to fail”?

A.One’s worth lies in his performance compared with others.

B.One’s success in competition needs great efforts.

C.One’s achievement is determined by his particular skills.

D.One’s success is based on how hard he has tried.

4.Which point of view may the author agree to?

A.Every effort should be paid back.

B.Competition should be encouraged.

C.Winning should be a life-and-death matter.

D.Fear of failure should be removed in competition.
