Almost all theme park accidents can be prevented．Here, based on coverage of theme park safety, are some tips to help you and your family stay safe on your next visit.
If you are visiting with a child, take a moment to explain the ride to them, and tell them what they should do．They are depending upon you to keep them safe．Set a good example for them by following the rules of the park, and make sure that they know you expect them to follow those rules, too.
Tell them to stay seated, to hold the grab bar or put their hands in the laps, and not to stick their knees and feet outside a ride vehicle．Make them look to you for the okay to get on or off a ride, too．And never put a crying child on a ride．If your child starts to cry, let others pass you in line until your child is calmed．Or, gently exit the queue and find something more relaxing to do．
Young kids can’t keep an adult’s pace in a theme park．Let them take plenty of breaks.
“Kids get tired,” said TPI reader Matt Johnson, a father of four．“Tired kids make parents even more tired．And tired kids and parents may get hurt —physically and emotionally.” He advises that parents plan a mid-day break, perhaps a swim back at the hotel, to avoid mid-day heat and crowds．“You will see cranky families having a miserable time while you are refreshed and having a great evening.”
51.The second paragraph tells readers that ________.
A．children should be trained to be more independent
B．adults should tell children some safety rules firstly
C．adults should set a good example to conduct well in a theme park
D．there is a danger to take young children to visit a theme park
52.Which of the following is NOT right for children who are taking the rides?
A．They cannot put their hands away from the grab bar.
B．They are forbidden to put their knees or feet out.
C．They should ask adults’ permission first to get on a ride.
D．Without adults’ okay sign, children shouldn’t get off a ride.
53.If your child begins to cry just when he is going to take a ride, you should ________. A．tell him to be relaxed B．make him share your interest C．give up the present activity D．encourage him to be brave
54.We may infer from Matt Johnson’s words that ________.
A．he doesn’t like to visit a theme park with his children
B．parents with many children may be tired of visiting a theme park
C．not all the families are relaxed or happy when they visit a theme park
D．visitors should arrange everything carefully before starting
55.What is the meaning of the underlined word “exit” in the third paragraph?
A．等待B．发现C．进入D．离开
B
Humor is a most effective, yet frequently neglected, means of handling the difficult situations in our lives.
It can be used for patching up differences, apologizing, saying "no," criticizing, getting the other fellow to do what you want without his losing face. For some jobs, it's the only tool that can succeed. It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialogue may start a quarrel. For example, many believe that comedians on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance than people in any other forum.
Humor is often the best way to keep a small misunderstanding from escalating into a big deal. Recently a neighbor of mine had a squabble with his wife as she drove him to the airport. Airborne, he felt miserable, and he knew she did, too. Two hours after she returned home, she received a long-distance phone call. "person-to-person for Mrs. I.A. Pologize," intoned the operator. "That's spelled 'P' as in…". In a twinkling, the whole day changed from grim to lovely at both ends of the wire.
An English hostess with a quick wit was giving a formal dinner for eight distinguished guests whom she hoped to enlist in a major charity drive. Austerity (节俭) was a fashion in England at the time, and she had asked her children to serve the meal. She knew that anything could happen and it did, just as her son, with the studied concentration of a tightrope walker, brought in a large roast turkey. He successfully elbowed the swinging dining-room door, but the backswing threw the bird onto the dining-room floor.
The boy stood rooted: guests stared at their plates. Moving only her head the hostess smiled at her son, "No harm, Daniel," she said. "Just pick him up and take him back to the kitchen"… she enunciated clearly so he would think about what she was saying …"and bring in the other one ."
A wink and a one-liner instantly changed the dinner from a red-faced embarrassment to
a conspiracy of fun.
56. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Humor is the key to success in our work and our lives.
B. Humor enables us to cope with difficult situation effectively.
C. Humor is the only best way to criticize someone without losing his face.
D. Humor makes fun of any difficult situations.
57. Which of the following is NOT stated in the passage?
A. Comedians on TV are believed to have done a lot in making people more tolerant of
racial and religious differences.
B. To make up differences, humor is a most acceptable as well as a most effective
means.
C. People often turn to humorous ways when meeting with difficult situations because
of its effectiveness.
D. Only by adopting the means of humor can one succeed in some jobs.
58. What caused the roast turkey to drop onto the floor?
A. The backward movement of the door.
B. The son's hasty behavior.
C. Someone happened to be at the door.
D. The bird raised by the family.
59. By saying "… and bring in the other one," the hostess meant that _____.
A. the son had to cook another turkey for the guests
B. she already had made more than one turkey ready for the dinner
C. some other dish would be served instead of a turkey
D. the son could serve the same turkey after it was cleaned
60. What do you think would probably be the result if the hostess got angry and scolded the son?
A. It would make the embarrassing situation worse
B. The son would refuse to serve the guests any more
C. The son would talk back and make the mother all the more angry
D. The guests would leave before the dinner was over
C
Two friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever, even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started. Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country. In fact, according to an official report on youth violence, “In our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the terrible reality of violence”. Given that this is the case, why aren’t students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems, drive cars, or stay physically fit?
First of all, students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. A report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult. For example, a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. Laughter over the sandwich can le ad to insults, which in turn can lead to violence. The problem isn’t in the sandwich, but in the way students deal with the conflict.
Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable, they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution: stay calm. Once the student feels calmer, he or she should choose words that will calm the other person down as well. Rude words, name-calling, and accusation only add fuel to the emotional fire. On the other hand, soft words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control.
After both sides have calmed down, they can use another key strategy for conflict resolution: listening. Listening allows the two sides to understand each other. One person should describe his or her side, and the other person should listen without interrupting. Afterward, the listener can ask non-threatening questions to clarify the speaker’s position. Then the two people should change roles.
Finally, students need to consider what they are hearing. This doesn’t mean trying to figure out what’s wrong with the other person. It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish. For example, a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things. Students need to ask themselves questions such as these: How did this start? What do I really want? What am I afraid of? As the issue becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomes smaller. Even if it do esn’t, careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution.
There will always be conflict in schools, but that doesn’t mean there needs to be violence. After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution program, according to Educators for So cial Responsibility, “64% of the teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom; 75% of the teachers reported an increase in student cooperation; and 92% of the students felt better about themselves”. Learning to resolve conflicts can help stude nts deal with friends, teachers, parents, bosses, and coworkers. In that way, conflict resolution is
a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country.
61. This article is mainly about .
A. the lives of school children
B. the cause of arguments in schools
C. how to deal with school conflicts
D. how to analyze youth violence
62. From Paragraph 2 we can learn that .
A. violence is more likely to occur at lunchtime
B. the eating habit of a student is often the cause of a fight
C. students tend to lose their temper easily
D. a small conflict can lead to violence
63. Why do students need to ask themselves the questions stated in Paragraph 5?
A. To make clear what the real issue is.
B. To get ready to try new things.
C. To find out who is to blame.
D. To figure out how to stop the shouting match.
64. After the conflict resolution program was started in Atlanta, it was found
that .
A. more teachers felt better about themselves in schools
B. there was a decrease in classroom violence
C. there was less student cooperation in the classroom
D. the teacher-student relationship greatly improved
65. The writer’s purpose for writing this article is to .
A. complain about problems in school education
B. teach students different strategies for school life
C. advocate teaching conflict management in schools
D. inform teachers of the latest studies on school violence

The Secret of Raising Happy Children
Raising children is a job that is never quite done. But here are a few simple tips that may help you to raise happy children.
1. Share Your Feelings
Of course, everyone may occasionally feel angry or awkward. 66__ Instead you should try to show your children that you aren't just a parent but also a human being. Not only will your children feel closer to you, but they may feel safe enough to share their negative emotions with you.
2. Play a Game in the Park
__67__Not only will you all be working out, but you will be spending quality time together, too. In this way the relationship between you and your children can be greatly improved.
3. Bond with Your Children
If your child is crying for attention, don't just keep silent or go for a drive outside. Instead, take your child in your arms and waltz (跳华尔兹舞) around the room. The more exaggerated (夸张的) your movements, the better. 68__ The child will feel safer and more secure, making him or her happier and healthier in the future.
4. 69
The evening meal is often the only time of day when the family can get together in one place. _70__ Use the time to share news of your day, make weekend plans and enjoy one another's company. Research shows that children who dine with their family at least twice a week are less likely to smoke and use drugs and they tend to get better exam results.
A. Set dinner time
B. Have a family game time
C. So make dinner a family affair.
D. It isn't a good idea to hide it from your children.
E. Get the whole family together for a game of rugby in the park.
