Naurus heartbreaking stor
16、y could have one good consequence other countries might learn from its mistakes. For thousands of years, Polynesian people lived the remote island of Nauru, far from western civilization. The first European to arrive was John Fearn in 1798. He was the British captain of the Hunter, a whaling ship. H
17、e called the island Pleasant Island. However, because it was very remote, Nauru had little communication with Europeans at first. The whaling ships and other traders began to visit, bringing guns and alcohol. These elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island. A te
18、n-year civil war started, which reduced the population from 1,400 to 900. Naurus real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discovered phosphate (磷酸盐)on the island. In fact, it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate, which a very important fertilizer for farming. The
19、company began mining the phosphate. A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground; it is a strip mine. When a company strip-mines, it removes the top layer of soil. Then it takes away the material it wants. Strip mining totally destroys the land. Gradually, the lovely island of Nauru started to look
20、like the moon. In 1968, Nauru became one of the richest countries in the world. Every year the government received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate. Unfortunately, the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars. In addition, they used millions more dollars for
21、 personal expenses. Soon people realized that they had a terrible problem their phosphate was running out. Ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing. By 2000, Nauru was financially ruined. Experts say that it would take approximately $433,600,000 and more than 20 years to rep

What can we learn about Nauru from the last paragraph? A. The leaders will take the experts words seriously. B. The ecological damage is
25、 difficult to repair. C. The island was abandoned by the Nauruans D. The phosphate mines were destroyedBGeorge Gershwin, born in 1898, was one of Americas greatest composers. He published his first song when he was eighteen years old. During the next twenty years he wrote more than five hundred song
26、s.Many of Gershwins songs were first written for musical plays performed in theatres in New York City. These plays were a popular form of entertainment in the 1920s and 1930s. Many of his songs have remained popular as ever. Over the years they have been sung and played in every possible way from ja
27、zz to country.In the 1920s there was a debate in the United States about jazz music. Could jazz, some people asked, be considered serious music? In 1924 jazz musician and orchestra leader Paul Whiteman decided to organize a special concert to show that jazz was serious music. Gershwin agreed to comp
28、ose something for the concert before he realized he had just a few weeks to do it. And in that short time, he composed a piece for piano and orchestra which he called Rhapsody in Blue. Gershwin himself played the piano at the concert. The audience were thrilled when they heard his music. It made him
29、 worldfamous and showed that jazz music could be both serious and popular.In 1928, Gershwin went to Paris. He applied to study composition (作曲)with the wellknown musician Nadia Boulanger, but she rejected him. She was afraid that classical study would ruin his jazzinfluenced style. While there, Gers
30、hwin wrote An American in Paris. When it was first performed, critics (评论家)were divided over the music. Some called it happy and full of life, to others it was silly and boring. But it quickly became popular in Europe and the United States. It still remains one of his most famous works.George Gershw
31、in died in 1937, just days after doctors learned he had brain cancer. He was only thirtynine years old. Newspapers all over the world reported his death on their front pages. People mourned the loss of the man and all the music he might have still written.41Many of Gershwins musical works were _Awri

BTalented and productive. CPopular and unhappy. DFriendly and honest.C Two friends have an argument that bre
35、aks up their friendship forever, even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started. Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country. In fact, according to an official report on youth violence, In our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of childr
36、en and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the terrible reality of violence. Given that this is the ease, why arent students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems, drive cars, or stay physically fit? First of all, students need to realize t
37、hat conflict is unavoidable. A report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult (侮辱). For example, a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtim
38、e. Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults, which in turn can lead to violence. The problem isnt in the sandwich, but in the way students deal with the conflict. Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable, they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution (解决) : stay calm. On
39、ce the student feels calmer, he or she should choose words that will calm the other person down as well Rude words, name-calling, and accusations only add fuel to the emotional fire. On the other hand, soft words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control.
40、After both sides have calmed down, they can use another key strategy (策略) for conflict resolution : listening. Listening allows the two sides to understand each other. One person should describe his or her side, and the other person should listen without interrupting. Afterward, the listener can ask
41、 non-threatening questions to clarify the speakers position. Then the two people should change roles. Finally, students need to consider what they are hearing. Tiffs doesnt mean trying to figure out whats wrong with the other person. It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides
42、are trying to accomplish. For example, a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things. Students need to ask themselves questions such as these: How did this start? What do I really want? What am I afraid of? As th
43、e issue becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomes smaller. Even if it doesnt, careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution. There will always be conflict in schools, but that doesnt mean there needs to be violence. After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution pro
44、gram, according to Educators for Social Responsibility, 64 percent of the teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom; 75 percent of the teachers reported an increase in student co-operation; and 92 percent of the students felt better about themselves. Learning to resolve conflicts can
45、 help students deal with friends, teachers, parents, bosses, and coworkers. In that way, conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country.46. This article is mainly about A. the lives of school children B. how to deal with school conflicts C. how to analy
46、ze youth violence D. the cause of arguments in schools 47. From Paragraph 2 we can learn that A. violence is more likely to occur at lunchtime B. the eating habit of a student is often the cause of a fight C. students tend to lose their temper easily D. a small conflict can lead to violence 48.

50、ntries that receive theholiday-makers. Indeed, a rosypicture is painted for the long-term future of the holiday industry. Every month sees the building of a new hotel somewhere,and every month another rock-bound Pacific island is advertised as the last paradise(天堂) onearth. However, the scale andspe
51、ed of this growth seem setto destroy the very things tourists want to enjoy. In those countries where therewas a rush tomake quickmoney out of sea-side holidays, over-crowded beaches and theconcrete jungles ofendless hotels have begun to lose their appeal.Those countries with little experience of to

Its forests , full ofwildlife and rare flowers, wereoffered to tourists as one more untouched paradise. Infact, the nature all toosoon felt the effects of thousands of holiday-
53、makers traveling through the forest land.Ancient tacks became major routes for thewalkers, with the consequent exploitation ofprecious trees and plants.Not only the environment of a country can suffer from the sudden growth of tourism. The people as well rapidly feel its effects. Farmland makes way
54、for hotels, roads and airports; the old way of life goes. The one-time farmer is now the servant ofsome multi-national organization; he isno longer his own master. Once it was his back that bore the pain ; now it is his smile that is exploited. No doubt he wonders whether he wasnt happier inhis vill

At the same time, tourists are being encouraged to respect not only the countryside they visit but also its people.The way tourism is handled in the next ten years will decide its fate and that of the countries we all want to visit. Their needs and problems are more important than
57、those of the tourist companies. Increased understanding in planning world-wide tourism can preserve the market for these companies.
