Reading Comprehension
Directions: There are two passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices. Click on the best choice. (20 points)
Passage One
In the early stages in a new relationship while you are discovering new things about your partner, many conflicts and disagreements will arise, which should be addressed appropriately by both because if you think you can save a relationship alone you are sadly mistaken. As the relationship matures over time many issues can be resolved through compromise and by understanding that you both have different needs and ideas. Cultural differences between partners can make a relationship experiencing problems even more difficult, and can be a true test of how strong your relationship really is.
You may think you can save a relationship alone, but in reality both partners have to put in the necessary effort and discuss ways and methods that can be pursued to find solutions. In most cases both of you will rather try and save the relationship especially if you really love one another, so the answer to the question is clearly no! When both partners agree that the relationship is experiencing problems, then understanding what these issues are, and the reasons behind them is the first step. The comfort of knowing that you do not have to save the relationship alone makes looking for the solution a lot simpler because both of you will want to work the problems out together.
There are many different avenues that can be explored to save your relationship. The spark needs to be put back into your feelings and quality time spent with one another without outside influences is a good idea. A weekend away to somewhere
special gives you the chance to discuss the problems that caused the misunderstandings. This alone time and knowing that you do not have to save the relationship alone will give you confidence that all is not lost. When you are relaxed in each other's company, then discussing the problem you were facing becomes so much easier.
Getting together and assessing the status of your relationship is a very important answer to the question: whether can you save your relationship alone. Both of you will have made mistakes and the realization of what these are will give you time to reflect on methods and compromise to help avoid future problems that are similar in nature.

Passage Two
Quality family relationships are becoming increasingly important in our society.
With pressures and issues children are facing today, the need for open communication and positive family relationships is vital. Today's children also face dangers not known of in the past. Children are being taught not to blindly obey an adult's requests if it could be a safety risk. As a result, adults are no longer perceived as infallible and children are encouraged to think or decide for themselves and be more assertive（果断的）than children in previous generations. Most parents want their children to feel free to talk to them; yet don't always know how they can foster it. It helps if parents can remember that communication involves proper timing and both talking and listening. When children have a problem, their parents' efforts at "listening" often result, instead, in lecturing and offering advice. Unsolicited advice provides little opportunity for children to share their feelings and can result in children becoming reliant on others' influence. In turn, these children may develop inadequate decision-making skills as they mature. Most parents can be very accepting about most of the feelings their children have, unless they say something that makes the parent angry, anxious, or uncomfortable. Effective listening involves a respectful attitude, concentration, eye contact, and an effort to stop and think about when to be silent and when or how to respond. A simple nod or word of acknowledgment will let a child know you are listening. When listening, avoid probing questions like "Why?". These questions shift the focus from feelings to analyzing and children may interpret it as a denial of their feelings. Instead, tune into the feelings, and then put the feeling word into a sentence. This will show that you understand and accept how they feel. Children of
all ages learn how to identify their feelings and solve their own problems when parents help give their feelings a name.
Sometimes children will express their negative emotions in inappropriate ways, such as yelling. Parents can allow children to feel angry but share specifics about how they can express their anger in acceptable ways. Help them generate ideas for constructive ways to express their anger. When parents have negative feelings or want more cooperation from their child, they also need to respectfully express themselves. Instead of ordering, focus on the problem without blaming and give children a chance to decide for themselves what actions they need to take.
