Tara worked in a hospital as a nurse. One evening there was a big dance party at the hospital. Most of the doctors and nurses would be there, but it was Tara's turn to look after the sick children. She liked dancing very much, so she felt very sorry.

She went to each sick child one after another and said good-night, until she came to one little boy, Dennis. He was eleven years old, but he was already able to talk like an adut（成人）. Poor Dennis had a very serious illness, and now he was hardly able to move any part of his body except his hands. Tara knew he would never get any better, but he was always happy and always thinking about other people instead of thinking about himself.

Dennis knew that Tara loved dancing, so now when she came to say good-night to him, he greeted her with the words, "I'm very sorry that you have to miss the dance because of us. But we are going to have a party for you. If you look in my drawer（抽屉）, you'll find a piece of cake. I saved it from my supper today, so it's quite fresh. And there is also a dollar there. You can buy something to drink with that. And I'd get up and dance with you myself if I was able to," he added.

She looked over the birds there. Finally she chose a green long necked peacock（孔雀）. She told her father, "This bird, the peacock, will be my husband."

Hearing that the peacock was the lucky one, the other birds crowded around to congratulate（祝贺）him. The excited peacock said nothing but held his head high. Later he began to shout and show his beauty in a strange dance. The other birds started to laugh.

King Swan was angry. Standing in the middle of the birds, he said, "Sir Peacock, your voice is sweet, and you're really pretty. But you are not modest（谦虚）at all. I will not allow my daughter to marry you!"

It's easier to agree than disagree. The following tips can help show your disagreements better.

Don't make it personal.

If you get upset（沮丧）, it can help to remember that you're mad at the person's idea, not the person.

Never have bad words on the other person's idea.

Instead of saying "that's a stupid idea", try "I don't agree, and here's why". Never shout loudly and you'll have a much better chance of getting your idea across.

Use "I" statements to communicate how you feel and what you think.

Using "you" statements can sound argumentative（好争论的）. For example, telling your mom "you always remind me about my chores when I have a lot of homework" has a very different feeling from "I'm under pressure because I have a lot of homework tonight. Can I do those chores tomorrow?"

Listen to the other point of view.

When the other person is talking, try to stop thinking about why you disagree or what you'll say next. Instead, focus on what's being said. When it's your turn to talk, repeat（重复说）any key points the other person made to show you have learned what was said. Then calmly show why you disagree.

Stay calm（平静）.

This is the most important thing you can do to keep a conversation go on well.

12. What should we do when the other person is talking according to the passage?

A. Think about why we disagree.     B. Think about what we'll say next.

C. Learn about what he's saying.     D. Show our own ideas to him.

13. What does the underlined word "focus" mean in Chinese?

A.诠释     B.赞赏     C.同意     D.专注

14. Which is the RIGHT way to show that you disagree with someone?

A. I'm afraid I disagree with you.     B. Your idea sounds terrible.

C. You always ask me many questions.   D. Your idea is quite wrong.

15. What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. Discussion about disagreements.    B. Attitude（态度）towards disagreements.

C. Tips to show disagreements.     D. Opinions about disagreements.

第二节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。

Parents always tell you that the school days are the happiest in your life. I'm sure you would disagree and wonder if they were ever teenagers. 16.           

You think you are old enough to make your own decisions, but your parents don't think so. If you don't do as your parents say, you will have a hard time. 17.            These arguments（争论）, although they are stressful, are necessary for you.

You spend most of your time at school, so you might have worries about all your homework. 18.            But what if you don't get good grades in the exams? What if you like sports or music? Your parents might want you to go to university so they will want you to do nothing but study. 19.           

And you want to look good, so you'll spend hours getting ready for a party, but your parents don't like your clothes. 20.           

Do you ever face these problems? If so, what do you do to make your life simpler? Write to me and let me know how you solve them.

第三部分 书面表达（共两节，满分27分）

第一节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

阅读下面短文，完成短文后的问题。

John was a very strong man. Once he got a job cutting wood in the forest. His boss gave him an axe（斧子）and showed him the area where he should work.

The first day, John cut down 18 trees.

"Good," the boss said, "Keep that up!"

Happily, John tried harder the next day, but could only cut down 15 trees.

The third day he tried even harder, but could only cut down 10 trees. Day after day he was cutting down fewer and fewer trees.

"I must be losing my strength（力气）," John thought. He said sorry to his boss, and he said that he could not understand what was going on.

"When was the last time you sharpened（磨快）your axe?" the boss asked.

"Sharpened? I have no time to sharpen my axe. I have been very busy trying to cut down trees!" said John.

While John was working hard, he didn't work "smart". He didn't think about the best way to do his job. Many of us never learn new skills, and we think that what we have learned is enough. Sharpening our skills from time to time is the key to success.

41. What job did John get once?

42. How many trees did John cut down the first day?

43. Why did John say sorry to his boss?

44. Why didn't John sharpen his axe?

45. What do you learn from the story?
