   Two summers ago I went to Changdao, a small island near Yantai. During the night, I heard strange baby-like   31        (cry). Islanders told me   32        was stray (迷路的；離群的) cats that were calling in the wild. Well, it was strange to me to see so many stray cats on such a small island. So I asked the locals  33       more details. Then they told me  34          surprising and sad story. The island is isolated in the sea and originally had no cats. Ten yers ago, when the island was developed   35       a national park, tourists began to swarm in. These visitors from all parts of the country brought in money, but the rubbish they left   36       (draw) more and more rats onto the island. Islanders therefore introduced the cats in order to get rid of the rats.   ___37        when the number of rats decreased, the number of cats increased, and the cats began to prey on birds, chickens, and fish. For more than a month after that, my mind was haunted (回響) by the plaintive crying. So now,   38       I travel, I always hear in mind what I should bring in,   39        I don’t want to bring anything that is strange,   40        (need) or even dangerous to my destination.

       Every family with kids has seen its share of arguments, shouting and complaining. It turns out that all those conflicts serve an important purpose in the development of children . Saying “no” followed by a bad temper, just may be an unavoidable part of growing up. And that’s a good thing. These are the first steps toward independence. Even young children have to challenge their parents sometimes. Studies have shown the following:

·Although stressful, conflicts are beneficial for children.

·Learning to manage conflicts is necessary for a child’s development.

·Conflicts during the preschool years occur because children desire even more attention than parents can or should give.

       If you understand why conflicts occur, it can minimize the conflicts between you and your children. Conflict is a child’s attempt to develop a sense of self and how he or she learns to express his or her needs and ideas. Parents develop and drive this independence by putting children to the outside world both formally and informally.

       Conflicts can grow out of a difference of opinion or might just be a way to blow off steam(發(fā)脾氣) . In rare situations, constant conflicts between parents and children can indicate a deeper emotional problem. Consult your doctor if this seems to be your situation.

       It’s important to offer your child choices, which should be determined by age and developmental level. The more responsible a child is, the more choices he or she gets in reward. You can threaten your child with punishment, but often offering a choice will better improve angry situations. Consequences and rewards should have some meaning to your child.

       Often a child’s adverse(敵對的)reaction when he or she hears the word “no” can be avoided by giving the child an explanation as to why you have refused his or her request.

60. Why does the author think conflicts are good?

          A. It’s a sign that children are trying to be independent.

B. Children can learn to control the bad temper.

C. This can develop a better way of communication.

D. It can improve the relationship between parents and children.

          A. feel being ignored by his parents.

B. get tired of being looked after by his parents.

C. want to stay with his parents at any time.

D. be blamed by his parents for his faults.

62. In most cases , the conflicts between parents and their children       .

          A. lead to more misunderstandings                          B. don’t hurt feelings

C. are highly valued by parents                                 D. involve visiting doctors

       I came to live here where I am now between Wounded Knee Greek and Grass Greek. Others came too, and we made these little grey houses of logs that you see, and they are square. It is a bad way to live, for there can be no power in a square.

       You have noticed that everything an Indian does is in a circle, and that is because the Power of the World always works in circles, and everything tries to be round. In the old days when we were a strong and happy people, all our power came to us from the respectful circle of the nation, and so long as the circle was unbroken, the people were getting rich. The flowering tree was the living center of the circle, and the circle of the four quarters nursed it. The east gave peace and strength and continuous power. This knowledge came to us from the outer world with our brief. Everything the Power of the World does is done in a circle. The sky is round, and I have heard that the earth is round like a ball, and so are all the stars. Birds make their nests in circle, for theirs are the same as ours. The sun comes forth and goes down again in a circle. The moon does the same, and both are round. Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing, and always come back again to where they were. The life of a man is a circle from childhood to childhood, and so it is in everything where power moves. Our places were like the nests of birds, and these were always set in a circle, the nation’s circle, a nest of many nests, where the Great Spirit meant for us to nurse our children.

       But the Wasichus (Indian word for “white people”) have put us in these square boxes. Our power is gone and we are dying, for the power is not in us any more. You can look at our boys and see how it is with us. Where we were living by the power of the circle in the way we should, boys were men at twelve of thirteen years of age. But now it takes them very much longer to be bull grown.

When former American President Bill Clinton travelled to South Korea to visit President Kim Young Sam, he repeatedly referred to the Korean president's wife as Mrs. Kim. By mistake, President Clinton’ s advisers thought that Koreans have the same naming customs as the Japanese. Clinton had not been told that, in Korea, wives keep their family names. President Kim Young Sam's wife was named Sohn Myong Suk. Therefore, she should be addressed (稱謂) as Mrs. Sohn.

  President Clinton arrived in Korea directly after leaving Japan and had not changed his culture gears. His failure to follow Korean customs gave the impression that Korea was not as important to him as Japan.

   In addition to Koreans, some Asian husbands and wives do not share the same family names. This practice often puzzles English-speaking teachers when talking with a pupil’s parents. They become puzzled about the student's correct last name. Placing the family name first is common among a number of Asian cultures.

  Mexican naming customs are different as well. When a woman marries, she keeps her family name and adds her husband's name after the word de (of). This affects how they fill in forms in the United States. When requested to fill in a middle name, they generally write the father's family name. But Mexicans are addressed by the family name of the mother. This often causes puzzlement.

  Here are a few ways to deal with such difficult situations: don’t always think that a married woman uses her husband's last name. Remember that in many Asian cultures, the order of first and last names is reversed. Ask which name a person would prefer to use. If the name is difficult to pronounce, admit it, and ask the person to help you say it correctly.

67. The story of Bill Clinton is used to__________.                         

 A. improve US-Korean relations                      B. introduce the topic of the text

 C. describe his visit to Korea                         D. tell us how to address a person

68. The word "gears" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to_______.             

   A. action plans                                             B. naming customs    

   C. travel maps                                              D. thinking patterns

69. When a woman marries in Korea, she ___________.                        

 A. continues to use her family name                      B. uses her husband's given name

 C. shares her husband's family name                  D. adds her husband's given name to hers

70. To address a married woman properly, you'd better______.                  

  A. use her middle name                    B. use her husband's first name

  C. ask her which name she likes               D. change the order of her names
