A
In his 1936 wrk Hw t Win Friends and Influence Peple, Dale Carnegie wrte: “I have cme t the cnclusin that there is nly ne way t get the best f an argument — and that is t avid it.” This distaste fr arguments is cmmn, but it depends n a mistaken view f arguments that causes prblems fr ur persnal and scial lives — and in many ways misses the pint f arguing in the first place.
Carnegie wuld be right if arguments were fights, which is hw we ften think f them. Like physical fights, verbal (言语的) fights can leave bth sides bldied. Even when yu win, yu end up n better ff. Yu wuld be feeling almst as bad if arguments were even just cmpetitins — like, say, tennis turnaments. Pairs f ppnents hit the ball back and frth until ne winner cmes ut frm all wh entered. Everybdy else lses. This kind f thinking explains why s many peple try t avid arguments.
Hwever, there are ways t win an argument every time. When yu state yur psitin, frmulate (阐述) an argument fr what yu claim and hnestly ask yurself whether yur argument is any gd. When yu talk with smene wh takes a stand, ask them t give yu a reasn fr their view and spell ut their argument fully. Assess its strength and weakness. Raise bjectins (异议) and listen carefully t their replies. This methd will require effrt, but practice will make yu better at it.
These tls can help yu win every argument — nt in the unhelpful sense f beating yur ppnents but in the better sense f learning abut what divides peple, learning why they disagree with us and learning t talk and wrk tgether with them. If we readjust ur view f arguments — frm a verbal fight r tennis game t a reasned exchange thrugh which we all gain respect and understanding frm each ther — then we change the very nature f what it means t “win” an argument.

The icy beauty f the Arctic attracts thusands f visitrs every year t see its wnderful wildlife, landscape and lcal cultures. Visitrs can take ships n a vyage alng the Arctic Ocean r take flights t cities alng the Arctic edge. N matter hw ne gets there, they shuld wear warm clthes and get ready t take in the attractins.
“Traveling t the Arctic leaves an unfrgettable impressin n the visitr. Its vast expanse and the fragility f its envirnment are tw things that really blw away peple,” said Cheryl’ Rsa, the directr f the US Arctic Research Cmmissin.
Visitrs t the Arctic Circle will have a lt f activities t chse frm if they want t see all that the regin has t ffer. Hiking with snwshes, dg sledding and kayaking are cmmn activities. Visitrs with sharp eyes are likely t spt plar bears. T get even clser t the animals f the sea, visitrs can g plar snrkeling with seals. Of curse, Arctic adventures aren’t cmplete withut viewing the wnders f the Arctic Circle’s large glaciers and icebergs as well.
One f the mst impressive attractins and maybe the mst difficult t see is the Nrthern Lights, ne f the seven natural wnders f the wrld. They are natural lights that glw a brilliant green and light up the hrizn. Smetimes they appear as waves that dance acrss the sky in different clrs.
The best places t view the Nrthern Lights are in Nrthern Nrway, Sweden’s Abisk Natinal Park, Iceland, America’s Alaska r Canada’s Yukn, accrding t Space.cm. Charles Deehr, an expert at the University f Alaska Fairbanks’ Gephysical Institute, recmmended planning a trip between winter and spring, especially when there is a new mn.
Even thugh the Arctic is a ppular turist destinatin, dn’t frget that peple live here t. “It is recmmended that visitrs g with tur grups that are respectful f Arctic residents and their culture,” said Rsa. “T many peple can disturb the small villages. Finding tur grups that wrk with lcal cmmunities is imprtant.”
5. The underlined part “blw away” in Paragraph 2 prbably means “______”.

6. What can we knw abut the Nrthern Lights?

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was invited t a ckut n an ld friend’s farm in western Washingtn. I parked my car utside the farm and walked past a milking huse which had apparently nt been used in many years. A nise at a windw caught my attentin, s I entered it. It was a hummingbird (蜂鸟), desperately trying t escape. She was cvered in spider-webs (蛛网) and was barely able t mve her wings. She ceased her struggle the instant I picked her up.
With the bird in my cupped hand, I lked arund t see hw she had gtten in. The brken windw glass was the likely answer. I stuffed a piece f clth int the hle and tk her utside, clsing the dr securely behind me.
When I pened my hand, the bird did nt fly away; she sat lking at me with her bright eyes. I remved the sticky spider-webs that cvered her head and wings. Still, she made n attempt t fly. Perhaps she had been struggling against the windw t lng and was t tired? Or t thirsty?
As I carried her up the blackberry-lined path tward my car where I kept a water bttle, she began t mve. I stpped, and she sn tk wing but did nt immediately fly away.
Hvering (悬停), she apprached within six inches f my face. Fr a very lng mment, this tiny creature lked int my eyes, turning her head frm side t side. Then she flew quickly ut f sight.
During the ckut, I tld my hsts abut the hummingbird incident. They prmised t fix the windw. As I was departing, my friends walked me t my car. I was standing by the car when a hummingbird flew t the center f ur grup and began hvering. She turned frm persn t persn until she came t me. She again lked directly int my eyes, then let ut a squeaking call and was gne. Fr a mment, all were speechless. Then smene said, “She must have cme t say gdbye.”
