70 years. But to reach this age, the eagle must make a hard and

painful decision.

When an eagle reaches near 40, its short sharp beak becomes

bent（彎曲的）. Its long and once flexible（靈活的） talons

can no longer catch animals or birds for food. And its old and

heavy wings with thick feathers on its body make it difficult to fly.

Then, the eagle has only tow choices: to die or to go through a

painful time of change which needs five months.

When the eagle feels weak and is about to die, it goes to a

place far away on the top of a mountain and sits on a nest. For a new life, the eagle knocks its beak against a rock until it pulls its beak out. After pulling it out, the eagle waits for a new beak to grow. And then it pulls out its talons and old feathers. It takes the eagle five months to complete its change and get a new life. We can call it its rebirth. So it can live for 30 more years.

Like the eagle, we human beings sometimes need to make some change to get out of our difficulty. Inmiserablecondition, we have to change our ways of life. The changing may be very painful. But sometimes we have to throw off our old habits, memories and traditions. We can’t go on with all our past burdens（重負(fù)）.

A. The death of the eagle

Two children stood outside the door with old coats.

"Any old papers, lady?" asked one of them.

I was busy. ①I wanted to say no, but I saw that

their shoes had holes in them and that they were wet.

"Come in and I'll make you a cup of hot tea." They

came in, saying nothing. Their shoes left prints on the floor.

I gave them tea and bread to protect them from the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started my housework again.

The silence in the living room surprised me. I looked in.

The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked me in a low voice, "lady, are you rich?"

Am I rich? Oh, no! I looked at the old things in my room.

The girl put her cup back in its saucer (茶碟)carefully and said, "Your cups match(相配)your saucers."

Then they left, holding their papers against the wind. They hadn't said thank you. They didn't need to. They had done more than that. They had reminded me that I had so much to thank for. The blue cups and saucers were simple, but they matched. The potatoes and meat before me, a roof over my head, my husband with a job-these things matched, too.

I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The prints of their small shoes were still wet on my floor. I let them be. ②I wanted them there to remind me how rich I was.

C. show them how rich she was

D. offer them some warm clothes

【2】Why did the children think the writer was rich?

A. He liked the saucer.

B. The room was quite large.

D. She was kind and ready to give.

【3】We can learn from the passage that .

A. the writer felt everything matched

B. the writer's husband was out of work

C. the children talked happily in the room

D. the children thanked a lot before leaving

【4】The underlined sentence "I let them be." means " ".

A. I loved them. B. I left them there.

C. I didn't like them. D. I didn't want to see them again.

If you arrange(排列)the 26 English letters in

order and use numbers to represent each of them, for

example, 1 for a, 2 for b, 3 for c. . . 26 for z, you can

change an English word into a number. So hard work

becomes 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11=98，meaning 98

is its mark; knowledge: 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5

=96;love:12+15+22+5=54, and luck: 12+21+3+11=47，

a small mark. None of these words can give one a full

mark. What about money? It can't, either.

Then what else? Don't be worried. You can always find an answer to a problem in your life, when you change your way of looking at things or doing things, or your attitude. Yes, attitude is the word. See for yourself : attitude:1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100，a full mark.

Different attitudes lead to different courses of life. Most time people hope for a better life. It is possible that they will have a better life if they change their attitudes. When you change your manner and became friendly toward others, you'll meet more smiling faces toward you. In the same way, if you take a positive attitude toward failure, you'll find it's also rewarding(有益的)though it has caused you losses(損失).

After both sides tell what they think happened to cause the conflict, they discuss ways to solve it. They try to come up with a “resolution” that both sides agree to. They cannot be angry during the communication. Everyone should use good listening and attending skills while talking. If voices get too loud or it appears that someone is angry, the mediator will speak up and have them treat each other with respect. After different suggestions are shared in how to mediate the conflict, it is time for

discussing the best solution(解決辦法).

Here is an example of how conflict resolution works step by step in a school playground setting:

Someone says a student pushed him on the football field.

The person who was accused as the “pusher” says it was actually an accident.

The person who was pushed gets the mediator.

The mediator takes the two persons to a quieter place, away from others to talk.

The mediator calms them down and lets them know he understands their feelings.

Each person describes what happened.

The mediator repeats what he heard, so it is clear to everyone.

The mediator asks for ideas to solve the problem.

The two persons offer their own solutions.

The two persons have a discussion and come to an agreement.

The mediator makes sure the persons follow the solution.

The mediator offers praise for solving the problem.

Conflict resolution can be used in many environments. It encourages people to tell what really happened, to share their feelings, and to work together peacefully to solve the problem. It offers people workable steps to reach an agreement with the help of a mediator.
