Nobel membershipD. a concertticketBDavid walked down the street. All he wanted to do was to play basketball with Jim. But his mother told him to return his sister’s books to the library on his way to Jim’s house.In his eyes, books and summertime just don’t go together. He thought he had read a lot during the school year. And he had never set foot inside a library. Today he’d just drop the books off in the outside return box, but it was locked. He had to go inside to return them.David walked inside the building a few minutes before closing time. He put the books into the return box. After a quick drink of water and a short stop in the toilet, he’d be on his way to meet Jim. He walked out of the toilet. The library lights were turned off. He was locked --- in a library.David tried to use the telephone, but he couldn’t find one. As the sun began to set, he searched for a light and found a little one on the desk. He used a pencil to write a note on a big piece of paper. It read, “I’m locked in side. Please call for help.” He put it on the front door. Surely, someone passing by would see it. He then turned his attention to the library itself.He was surprised to discover that this place was not so bad. Rows and rows of books! When he saw a book about Michael Jordan on the desk, he picked it up. He opened the book and began to read. He felt that being locked in the library didn’t seem to be such a terrible thing.34. What did David’s mother want him to do?A. Play basketball with Jim.B. Take a walk in the street.C. Read books in the library.D. Return his sister’s books.35. Which of the following sentences could be added to the chart(图表)?A. He searched for a light.B. He putthe books into the return box.C. He had a quick drink of water.D. He turned his attention tothe library.36. David discovered that ________ after he was locked in the library.A. he was very afraid of the darkB. he became interested inthis placeC. his mom was worried about himD. his friend became nervousabout himCAs an English, I can speak three languages—English, German and French, so do you think the British people are very good language learners? The fact is that they aren’t.Some statistics（数据）from the survey done by the European Commission（欧盟委员会）showed that 62% of the British people only speak English. 38% speak at least one foreign language and 18% speak two or more. Compared with the British people, 56% of the people in other European countries speak at least one foreign language and 28% speak two or more. From this you can see that the British people are famous for not speaking foreign languages and that they are not good language learners in Europe.And the survey also showed that English is the most widely-spoken foreign language. Many European people can have a conversation in English. That’s why my people don’t think it is necessary to learn a foreign language.In Britain, students are not required to learn a foreign language. That meanslearning a foreign language is only an option at school. In UK schools it is common for children to start learning a foreign language at 11 and many of them give it up at 14. So why don’t students continue learning foreign lang uages at school? Because they think it is more difficult to get good marks in languages than in other subjects such as science or history.To solve this situation, the British government is looking for different ways to improve language learning at school. One way is to start learning it at a much younger age. Another one is to give school children more choices.Changing the British attitude（态度）to learning foreign language may be a hard task but the government decided to try!37. Which of the following about the British people is true?A. They are good language learners.B. 62% of them speak two or more languages.C. They are famous for speaking foreign languages.D. More than half of them only speak English.38. In Paragraph 4, “an option” means ______.A. a choiceB. a gameC. a mistakeD. a conversation39. What is the best title of the passage?A. Speaking EnglishB. Foreign Language Learning in UKC. Schools in UKD. Young English learnersDHave you ever been in a conflict(冲突)? Do you know how to solve it? Conflict resolution is a peaceful way of trying to solve a conflict. Both sides in the conflict explain what they think happened to cause it. The person who listens to both sides is called the mediator(调解人).After both sides tell what they think happened to cause the conflict, they discuss ways to solve it. They try to come up with a “resolution” that both sides agree to. They cannot be angry during the communication. Everyone should use good listening and attending skills while talking. If voices get too loud or it appearsthat someone is angry, the mediator will speak up and have them treat each other with respect. After different suggestions are offered in how to mediate the conflict, it is time for discussing the best solution(解决办法).Here is an example of how conflict resolution works step by step in a school playground setting:● Someone says a student pushed him on the football field.● The person who was pushed gets the mediator.● The mediator takes the two persons to a quieter place, away from others to talk.● The mediator calms them down and lets them know he understands their feelings.● Each pe rson describes what happened.● The mediator repeats what he heard, so it is clear to everyone.● The mediator asks for ideas to solve the problem.● The two persons offer their own solutions.● The two persons have a discussion and come to an agreement.● The mediator makes sure the persons follow the solution.● The mediator offers praise for solving the problem.Conflict resolution can be used in many environments. It encourages people to tell what really happened, to understand each other better, and to work together peacefully to solve the problem. It offers people workable steps to reach an agreement with the help of a mediator.40.
