B(2022·辽宁沈阳市第四十三中学模拟)
Jonny, a 15-year-old student, is checking his dad's old jacket. He says,
"You're 45, Dad. You're never going to wear it again. Can I have it?"
Keith has had a bad day at work, and he is feeling old. And Jonny has
hit him where it hurt. Keith raises his voice and says, "What? You mean I'm
too old to wear the jacket again?"
Jonny feels like this has come out of nowhere, and now he feels hurt.
"But I only asked. Why are you shouting at me?"
"But I don't like being treated as though I were too old."
Both of them feel a bit upset.
Have you ever had a similar argument with the people around you? Here
are some tips for you to remember when you're getting mad.● Accept your feelings and consider the other person's feelings. That means
not always thinking yourself "right" or "clever" and the other person "wrong"
or "stupid".
● Express yourself. So you can speak out your ideas by starting with "I..." but
not "You...".
● Don't always reflect before reacting(回应). If you feel angry, I think it's a
good idea to stop for a moment and understand why.
● Don't decide the purpose of the other person by guessing. Try to figure
out(弄清楚) what he or she is feeling, and admit(承认) it if you were wrong.
Don't forget that it's never too late to start the ways of communicating.
( )34.What can we know about Jonny from the passage?
A. He is a schoolboy. B. He doesn't like his dad.
C. He thinks his dad is too old. D. He wants his dad's new jacket.
( )35.Jonny felt hurt because his dad .
A. hit him where it hurt B. had a busy day
C. liked the jacket D. was angry with him
( )36.To avoid an argument, the writer gives us suggestions.
A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5
( )37.According to the passage, if you want to express your ideas, you'd
better begin like this: " ".
A. You misunderstood me... B. I know how you feel, but...
C. They're different from us... D. Things aren't the same...
C
For as long as we can remember, one of the most popular ways parents
use to punish their children has been the "time out".
It seems that it is a good idea: the child sits on his own to reflect on(反
思) what he has done. Then, when the time is up, he will apologize and learn
from the mistake.
However, just because it's something that's been done for years, that
doesn't mean it is the right thing to do. In fact, very often, children don't sit
nicely and think about what they've done. Instead, they need to be told a few(or many) times to go back to their places and stay quiet. They're not
reflecting on why they are in the "time out" at all. More likely than not,
they're probably just really angry, and so are the parents. In the end, both the
parents and the children make each other unhappy, or even angry.
What can parents do to change this situation? You may have already
heard of things like peaceful parenting(育儿) and gentle parenting. These focus
on the relationship between parent and child through building trust and love.
So, instead of starting a "time out", try something called "time in". A "time
in" needs both the parent and the child to stay close until both get calm.
After that, the parent and the child can discuss what happened and solve the
problem together. If the child can make changes, everyone can then move on.
As we all know, punishment and violence(暴力) seldom work and will
never teach the children what the right way to act is. A "time in" can be a
great time for the children to learn from mistakes. Children learn how to
develop their emotional and social skills through difficult situations. So, instead
of punishing them for not acting their age, we can use chances to teach and
guide them to a place of learning.
A "time in" may take more time, but it does work.
( )38.During a "time out", a child is told to .
A. stay outside B. make a promise
C. sit alone and reflect D. return to school
( )39.In the writer's opinion, a "time out" .
A. is becoming more popular B. doesn't always work
C. should be parents' first choice D. takes too much time
( )40.When a child has done something wrong, the writer suggests that
.
A. both teachers and parents discuss how to solve the problem
B. parents try something called "time in" instead of "time out"
C. the child say sorry to his or her parents and learn from mistakes
D. the child stay at home and reflect until he never makes mistakes
( )41.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Why not "Time in"? B. Learn from Mistakes
C. "Time out" or "Time in"? D. No Violence at Home!

in Sichuan Province. And this raises a lot of questions about the relationship
between the Sanxingdui and Jinsha civilizations.
It has been a long time since I was discovered. However, researchers still
don't know why I look this way. Of course, I know the answer, but I'd like to
keep it a secret. I feel proud to be a mystery(奥秘)!"

Growing up
I have met some problems and I have tried my best to solve them since
I entered the middle school. Let me share some of my experiences with you.
Speaking of schoolwork, I used to be bad at math and got poor grades.
To improve my grades, I asked my teacher for help and made great progress.
When it comes to relationships, I used to argue with my parents because I
thought they didn't understand me. One day, after trying having a talk with
them peacefully, I deeply regretted what I had said before.I said sorry to them
and understood them more. As for habits, I used to stay up late . I always felt
sleepy during the day.Then I tried listening to some quiet music instead ofplaying computer games and went to bed early. Now I am always full of
energy during the day.
