Tolerance: Respect the differences in others

       You may not realize it, but you are doing much more than just studying when you are at school. School is also the place   36   you socialize and learn to get along with people. But this is   37   easy. What can you do   38   you just don’t like one of your classmates?

       If you discover that you have problems   39   your classmates or friends, the most important thing to learn is tolerance. Tolerance is the   40   to recognize and respect the   41   in others. We cannot change the way that other people act,   42   it is important to learn to live happily with them.  

       Practicing tolerance will allow everyone to form better    43    with each other. Getting to know someone   44     help you understand why they do things   45   from you. It is important to remember that just because something is different does not mean that it is bad.   46   teaches us to keep an even temper and open mind.

       One thing to   47   is the old saying, “Treat others how you want   48   ”. You would like to be treated kindly by your classmates, so it is   49   to treat them with equal kindness. If you tolerate   50   it does not mean that you have to like it. No one is asking you to   51   who you are or what you believe in. Tolerance just means that you will be   52   of the differences in others and not try to make them change. 

       It is important to   53    tolerance because it will make everyone’s lives easier.  Learn to accept people for their different abilities and interests. The world is a very   54   , and practicing tolerance in your own school and city can help make    55   .

解析:

你是否愛生氣？是否愛發(fā)火？是否愛看不慣？是否經(jīng)常傷害周圍的人？……于是，你常常問自己：“為什么我不快樂？”寬容，是生活中的一縷陽光，一片朝霞，一場(chǎng)潤物細(xì)無聲的春雨。以律人之心律已，以恕已之心恕人，多一點(diǎn)對(duì)別人的寬容，我們的生命就多了一份自由和快樂。

36． 此處where引導(dǎo)定語從句，并在從句中作地點(diǎn)狀語。

37． 根據(jù)But可以看出“這并不總是那么容易�！�

38． 如果你不喜歡你的某個(gè)/一個(gè)同學(xué)，你該怎么辦？

39． 根據(jù)上文提示得出答案。意思是“在與……交往（get along with）……�！�

40． 寬容是認(rèn)可和尊重別人（身上）的差異的能力。其他不符合句意。

41． 寬容是認(rèn)可和尊重別人（身上）的差異的能力。其他不符合句意。

42． 前邊表示的是原因，所以用so,，而and 則表示“并且，和”，前面的句子不表示并列關(guān)系，故不用and。but表示轉(zhuǎn)折；though表示讓步，都不和語境。

43． 本文談的是人際關(guān)系。句意為“彼此間形成更好的關(guān)系�！�

44． may可以,其他詞太絕對(duì)，can表示能力。

45． differently from…結(jié)構(gòu)。

46． 本文談?wù)摰闹黝}就是寬容（Tolerance）。

47． keep in mind意為“記住”，前面的one thing為keep的賓語。其他不符語境。

48． 本句意思為“自己想讓別人怎樣對(duì)待你，你就去怎樣對(duì)待別人�！彼^“已所不欲，勿施與人”。

49． 這一點(diǎn)很重要。

50． 如果你寬容了某事。something表示“某事”。要準(zhǔn)確區(qū)別anything 與everything在肯定句中所表達(dá)的意義。something, anything, nothing, everything仍是高考考查重點(diǎn)。

51． 沒有人要求你去改變（你）自己。

52． be respect of“尊重”。尊重“差異”，回歸主題。

53． 根據(jù)第三段開頭得出答案。

54． 世界是多樣花的，豐富多彩的。Diverse=different。

Should parents ever hit their children?
Research suggests many of us are likely to respond “no”, and public support for spanking (打屁股) has been falling over the years. But surveys also show that 75 percent to nearly 90 percent of parents admit spanking their child at least once.
I was raised in a zero-tolerance( 零容忍) home for disrespect, and my parents often turned to physical punishment. And, no, I don’t feel I was damaged by it.
Nothing is more annoying than watching ill-mannered behavior from children.
But there is data to suggest that a return to old-school spanking isn’t the answer.
Two years ago , Newsweek reported that it had found data suggesting that teens whose parents used physical punishment were more likely to become aggressive(好斗的).
Murray Straus, professor at the University of New Hampshire in America, has studied the topic of children and spanking for decades. He said that children who were physically punished have lower IQs than their peers. It may be that children with lower IQs were more likely to get spanked, but the punishment may have been counterproductive (反作用) to their mental development, as well.
Some researchers make the argument that occasional open-handed smacks (用巴掌打) on the bottom are not only harmless but can have some benefit.
Last year, Marjorie Gunnoe, a psychologist at Calvin College, studied teens who have never been spanked. There are a greater number of children growing up without ever having been physically punished. Gunnoe’s research suggests they don’t turn out any better than those who were sometimes spanked.
There are some parents who simply cannot control their tempers. But I still believe that the best parents are the ones who are able to offer fair and firm discipline (管教) without ever turning to physical punishment.
【小題1】 What can we know from the research in the second paragraph?

A．Many of the parents made no response to the survey.
B．More and more people support spanking in public.
C．Most parents have the experience of spanking their children.
D．Many of the parents think they should hit their children.
【小題2】 According to Marjorie Gunnoe’s research, ________ .
A．the children who have never been spanked do better than those who were sometimes spanked
B．instead of harmless, spanking can have a little benefit
C．spanking has little effect on the children’s future performance
D．the teens who were often spanked are more likely to be aggressive
【小題3】 In the author’s opinion, the best parents are the ones ______.
A．who often use physical punishmentB．who never use physical punishment
C．who use physical punishment properlyD．who take physical punishment as useful tool
【小題4】Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A．The author’s parents were strict with him when he was young.
B．The author thinks his parents’ spanking did no harm to him.
C．Murray Straus thinks spanking has nothing to do with children’s IQs.
D．Some parents spank their children because they can’t control their tempers.

Having driven almost thirty hours, I decided to stay in South Carolina for a few days. The next morning, I purchased a three-day fishing license and bait (餌料) before heading to the lake.

Opening my trunk, I carefully took out my fishing gear (用具), put it on the lake’s edge, baited up and began to fish.

       “Good morning,” said someone, walking up from behind me.

       Turning around, I saw a game warden (獵場(chǎng)管理員) with a clip-board.

       “Good morning,” I said, nodding my head.

      “Catch any fish?” he asked.

       “No sir, just relaxing and killing time.”

       “Can I see your fishing license?”

       I handed him the license I had purchased at the bait shop.

       “Can I see your driver’s license, too?” he requested.

       “I see the name on the driver’s license is spelled Kiser and the name on the fishing license is Kaiser,” said the warden.

       “The gentleman at the bait shop must have written it wrong,” I told him.

       “Well, I’m afraid I’ll have to write you up for fishing with an invalid license and take away your fishing gear.”

       “You’ve got to be kidding,” I responded, with a surprised look on my face.

       Sure enough I was written up and my fishing gear taken away. I was told that I would have to pay a fine and that my stuff would be sold at auction（拍賣）.

       I stood there almost in tears as he drove away. Those rods and reels were very special to me. I had used them over twenty years, fishing with my friends, who were now all dead.

       After returning home in Georgia, I telephoned South Carolina trying to explain the situation, but no one would listen. I was told that the Department of Fish and Game had a “zero tolerance” for fishing and hunting violations. Finally, in tears I paid the fine and gave up the fight.

       Nine months later, I received a letter. I had no idea who it was from as there was no return address. On a plain piece of notebook paper was written “Auction for the Department of Fish and Game held this Saturday at 11:00 am.”

       On Saturday, at six in the morning I headed to South Carolina. By ten o’clock I had found the auction. There were numerous boats and piles upon piles of fishing equipment. All at once, there it was—my wonderful stuff all thrown in a pile as if it was worth nothing.

       As the auction began I took my seat. In my wallet was twenty-seven dollars. For more than an hour I waited for my property to be brought to the auction block.

       “We have three rods and reels here. I guess we will sell this as a unit,” said the auctioneer.

       “50 dollars,” yelled someone in the crowd.

       “51 dollars,” yelled another man.

       I rose from my seat and walked out of the auction.

       “66 dollars,” I heard as the bidding continued.

       “100 dollars,” came another bid. The auction became silent.

       “100 dollars once, 100 dollars twice, 100 dollars three times. Sold for 100 dollars,” went the auctioneer.

I walked to my truck, got in and just sat there. Suddenly I heard something hit the side of my truck. Turning around, I saw the back of a man putting my three rods and reels into my truck. It was the same game warden who wrote me the ticket almost a year ago!

       As I got out of the truck he stuck out his hand and said, “I wasn’t wrong. It’s the law that is wrong.”

       I shook his hand, thanked him and drove away. I cried as I crossed the South Carolina Georgia state line.

1. Who wrote a letter to the writer telling him about the auction?

A. The Department of Fish and Game.                   B. The game warden.

C. A person unmentioned in the passage.                 D. The auction organizers.  

2.Why did the writer walk out of the auction while it was going on?

   A. He realized he was unable to get back his fishing gear.

   B. He was too nervous to stay inside till the auction ended.

   C. He couldn’t bear hearing people selling his fishing gear.

   D. He knew the game warden was waiting for him outside.

3.What did the game warden mean by saying “It’s the law that is wrong”?

A. It didn’t make any sense to prohibit people from fishing freely in South Carolina.

B. The writer did break the law by fishing with an invalid license whatever the reason.

C. The writer should have been allowed a chance to explain and get his things back.

D. The auction should not have been held to sell the boats and fishing equipment.

Few laws are so effective that you can see results just days after they take effect. But in the nine days since the federal cigarette tax more than doubled—to $1. 01 per pack—smokers have jammed telephone “quit lines” across the country seeking to kick the habit.  

This is not a surprise to public health advocates. They’ve studied the effect of state tax increases for years, finding that smokers, especially teens, are price sensitive. Nor is it a shock to the industry, which fiercely fights every tax increase.  

The only wonder is that so many states insist on closing their ears to the message. Tobacco taxes improve public health, health, they raise money and most particularly, they deter people from taking up the habit as teens, which is when nearly all smokers are addicted. Yet the rate of taxation varies widely.  

In Manhattan, for instance, which has the highest tax in the nation, a pack of Marlboro Light Kings cost ＄10.06 at one drugstore Wednesday. Charleston, S, C., where the 7-cent-a-pack tax is the lowest in the nation. The price was $4. 78.  

The influence is obvious.  

In New York, high school smoking hit a new low in the latest surveys—13.8%, far below the national average. By comparison, 26% of high school students smoke in Kentucky, Other low-tax states have similarly depressing teen-smoking records.  

Hal Rogers, Representative from Kentucky, like those who are against high tobacco taxes, argues that the burden of the tax falls on low-income Americans “who choose to smoke.”

That’s true, But there is more reason in keeping future generations of low-income workers from getting hooked in the first place, As for today’s adults, if the new tax drives them to quit, they will have more to spend on their families, cut their risk of cancer and heart disease and feel better.  

1.The text is mainly about___________.  

A. the price of cigarettes                       B. tie rate of teen smoking

C. the effect of tobacco tax increase              D. the differences in tobacco tax rate  

2.What does the author think is a surprise?

A. Teen smokers are price sensitive.  

B. Some states still keep the tobacco tax low.  

C.  Tobacco taxes improve public health.  

D.  Tobacco industry fiercely fights the tax rise.   

3.The underlined word "deter” in Paragraph 3 most probably means      .  

A. discarding    B. remove    C. benefit      D. free  

4.Rogers’ attitude towards the low-income smokers might be that of     .  

A. tolerance   B. unconcern    C. doubt   D. sympathy  

5.What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. The new tax will be beneficial in the long run.  

B. Low-income Americans are more likely to fall ill.  

C. Future generations will be hooked on smoking.  

D. Adults will depend more on their families.
