Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage You can improve your child's hearing memory considerably. Once his hearing memory has been greatly improved, he'll be able to use and remember what he listens to in class. The success of these suggestions depends upon your ability to use your child's natural desire to get involved in games he finds simple and fun.A good way to begin is to read aloud a sentence from a book suitable for your child's reading age. Then ask your youngster to repeat the sentence back to you correctly. Next, reread the sentence, leaving out a particular word. See if your child can identify the word you left out. At the beginning use only simple sentences. Gradually, increase the length of the sentences. Make sure you don't rush things along too quickly, or your child may become discouraged and tired of the game.Take your child shopping with you often. He's to remember a list of items you want to buy in the supermarket. At first, ask him to remember only a few things. Then, as he shows increased ability to remember, make the list longer and longer. Praise him often and warmly when he shows increased ability to remember things. He'll become proud of his‘good’memory and will happily play the game.Encourage your child to learn easy and short poems. As his ability to do this becomes stronger, encourage him to remember longer poems. Do the same with songs.21.

An American professor discovered this difference while teaching a class in a Brazilian (巴西的) university. The two-hour class was scheduled to begin at 10 A.M. and end at12. On the first day, when the professor arrived on time, no one was in the classroom. Many students came after 10 A.M. Several arrived after 10:30 A.M. Two students came after 11 A.M. Although all the students greeted the professor as they arrived, few apologized (道歉) for their lateness. Were these students being rude? He decided to study the students' behavior.The professor talked to American and Brazilian students about lateness in both an informal and a formal situation: at a lunch with a friend and in a university class, respectively. He gave them an example and asked them bow they would react. If they had a lunch appointment with a friend, the average American student defined lateness as 19 minutes after the agreed time. On the other hand, the average Brazilian student felt the friend was late after 33 minutes.In an American university, students are expected to arrive at the appointed hour. In contrast, in Brazil, neither the teacher nor the students always arrive at the appointed hour. Classes not only begin at the scheduled time in the United States, but also end at the scheduled time. In the Brazilian class, only a few students left the class at 12:00；many remained past 12:30 to discuss the class and ask more questions.While arriving late may not be very important in Brazil, neither is staying late.26. The word‘punctual’most probably means ________.[A] leaving soon after class[B] coming early[C] arriving a few minutes late[D] being on time27. Why did the professor study the Brazilian students' behavior?[A] He felt puzzled at the students' being late.[B] He felt angry at the students' rudeness.[C] He wanted to make the students come on time later.[D] He wanted to collect data for one of his studies.28. It can be inferred from the professor's study of lateness in the informal situation that ________.[A] American students will become impatient if their friend is five minutes late[B] neither Brazilian nor American students like being late in social gatherings[C] being late in one culture may not be considered so in another culture[D] Brazilian students will not come thirty-three minutes after the agreed time29. From the last paragraph we know that in Brazil ________.[A] it is important to arrive at the appointed time[B] it is rude to keep the professor staying after class[C] it is normal for students to leave during lectures[D] it is acceptable for professors to be late for class30. What is the main idea of this passage?[A] It is important to be on time for class in the United States.[B] The important of being on time differs among cultures.[C] People learn the importance of time from the culture they are in.[D] Students being late for class should explain the reason to their teacher.Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage Conflict, like stress, is a natural phenomenon when people interact. Conflict in some form is always present；however, it is not always negative. Conflict can be positive, for example, when you and your colleagues try to select the best possible alternative to a problem. However, much more attention is given to the negative aspects of conflict.Conflict occurs when we fear the unknown. This can be very simple: someone says something in a tone of voice different from our expectations, which raises questions in our mind as to what the real meaning might be. Of course conflict can, and does, occur in much more serious circumstances.Your ability to detect and understand conflict will place you in a better position to control the situation. Conflict is often categorized in three stages. Stage one is the day-to-day irritations (恼人的事) that require minimal coping strategies. Stage one conflict is real but low in intensity. The intensity can increase if irritations increase and no solution is found.Stage two is teached when the parties become competitive. Each person protects his self-interest and fears loss of face. The win-lose attitude becomes integrated withthe problem.Stage three is reached when the objective changes from wanting to win toward wanting to hurt the other party. This stage can be explosive because other people are drawn into the conflict and sides are chosen. Problem solving is no longer a realistic method of resolution.By understanding the three stages of conflict, it will be easier for you to handle the day-to-day situations to which you are exposed. You will also be able to detect potential conflict between others in which you do not want to get involved.31. Conflict is ________.[A] paid attention to because it is negative[B] only positive when occurring between colleagues[C] universally present in human interactions[D] similar to stress in every aspect32. Stage two conflict is different from stage one conflict in that ________.[A] it is caused by daily disputes[B] it is low in intensity[C] it takes a form of competition[D] it always leads to loss of face33. The third stage can be explosive because ________.[A] quarreling becomes inevitable[B] it is no longer a conflict between two individuals[C] people begin to hate each other[D] no solution is possible34. The ability to identify conflict ________.[A] can help you make good use of conflict[B] enables you to win every competition[C] can prevent conflict from occurring[D] can help you deal with the situation better35. The conflict between a student and his roommate caused by different living habits is an instance of ________.[A] stage one conflict[B] stage two conflict[C] stage three conflict[D] none of the above四、翻译题，每题5分，共10分。
