The phone rings. Its a friend who wants to tell you his or her latest health problems. You hate to be impolite and cut your friend off, but what can you do? Stephanie Winston, author of Stephanie Winstons Best Organizing Tips, offers his advice:
Dont ask questions like “Whats new?” They give the information that you have time to talk. After “hello”, get right to the heart of the matter.
Time your calls wisely. If you make a call right before lunch or dinner, or at the end of the workday, people chat less.
Set a time limit. Start with, “Hi, Ive only got a few minutes, but I wanted to talk to you about ...” or, “Gee, Id love to talk more, but I only have a couple of minutes before I have to leave.”
Jump on a pause (間歇). Even the most talkative caller has to pause now and then. Quickly say, “It has been great talking with you.” Then end the conversation.
Forget niceties. Some people just dont take a hint. Cut your caller off and say, “Id like to talk to you longer, but Im afraid I have no enough time. Good bye.” Then hang up.
Find “a partner in crime”. If nothing else works, ask someone in your home to help you. For example, one woman gives a sign to her husband, who shouts, “Jane, I think the roast chicken is burning.”
Avoid the phone completely. Use an answering machine to screen calls. If you have an important message for a chatterbox (嘮叨的人), leave the message when he or she isnt in.
()50. Whats the good time to make a call so that people can chat less?
A. After lunch or dinner. B. In the middle of the workday.
C. Before lunch or dinner. D. At the beginning of the workday.
()51. “Finding a partner in crime” means ______.
A. finding someone to answer the call B. getting right to the heart of the matter
C. telling the caller you are just cooking D. asking someone to help you end the call
()52. Whats Winstons advice about?
A. How to talk on the phone. B. How to make calls wisely.
C. How to make a phone call. D. How to keep phone calls short.

People from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in differentiating facial expressions and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why.
Rachael Jack, University of Glasgow researcher, said that rather than scanning evenly (均勻的) across a face as Westerners do, Easterners fix their attention on the eyes.
“We show that Easterners and Westerners look at different face features to read facial expressions,” Jack said. “Westerners not only look at the eyes, but also the mouth, but Easterners prefer the eyes and dont look at the mouth very often.”
According to Jack and his coworkers, the discovery shows that human communication of emotion is more difficult to understand than what was believed before. As a result, facial expressions that had been considered commonly understandable cannot be completely used to convey (傳遞) emotion in cross-cultural situations.
The researchers studied cultural differences in the understanding of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of expressive faces and put them into different categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, angry, or dissatisfied. They compared how correctly people who took part in the research read those facial expressions by using their eye movements.
It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made more mistakes than Westerners did. “The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection (反射) of cultural difference in facial expressions,” Jack said. “Our research suggests that while Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion, Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less.”
In short, the research shows that facial expressions are not universal messages of human emotion. From here on, examining how cultural factors have diversified (使多樣化) these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion. If not, when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation.
()53. What does Jacks research show about Westerners?
A. They consider facial expressions more believable.
B. They pay attention to both the eyes and the mouth.
C. They have more difficulty in telling facial expressions.
D. They observe the eyes and the mouth in different ways.
()54. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 6 refer to?
A. The researchers who took the study. B. The mistakes made during the study.
C. The people who took part in the study. D. The Easterners who made more mistakes.
()55. What can be the best title for the passage?
A. A New Report on Human Emotion. B. Eye Movements in Communication.
C. Cultural Differences in Reading Emotion. D. How to Increase Cross-cultural Understanding.

According to an official report on youth violence (暴力), “The greatest danger to the lives of children is not disease or food shortage, but violence”. Why arent students taught to manage conflict (沖突) the way they are taught to solve math problems, drive cars, or stay physically fit?
First of all, students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. A report on violence among middle school students shows that most violence between students begin with small things. For example, a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. Laughter over the sandwich can then lead to a fight. The problem isnt in the sandwich, but in the way students deal with the conflict.
Once students realize that conflict is unavoidable, they can practice the golden rule of staying calm (平靜的). Once the student feels calmer, he or she should choose words that will calm the other person down as well. Rude words only make things worse. On the other hand, soft words can put out the fire before it is out of control.
After both sides have calmed down, they can use another key way to help: 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 getting in a word. Afterwards, the listener can ask some questions to make the speakers position clear. Then the two people should change roles.
Finally, students need to consider what they are hearing. This doesnt mean trying to work out whats wrong with the other person. It means understanding what both sides are trying to deal with. 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 the problem becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomes smaller.
There will always be conflict in schools, but that doesnt mean there needs to be violence. Learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends, teachers, parents and coworkers. In that way, conflict resolution (解決) is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country.
()56. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The lives of school children. B. The causes of fights in schools.
C. How to explain youth violence. D. How to deal with school conflicts.
()57. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A. A small conflict can lead to violence. B. Students seem to lose their temper easily.
C. Violence is more likely to happen at lunchtime. D. The eating habit of a student often causes a fight.
()58. Why do students need to ask themselves the questions in Paragraph 5?
A. To make clear what the real problem is. B. To find out who should take responsibility.
C. To show more considerations for both sides. D. To work out how to stop the shouting match.
()59. Whats the writers purpose for writing this passage?
A. To tell the latest studies on school violence.
B. To teach students different skills for school life.
C. To describe some problems in school education.
D. To suggest teaching conflict management in schools.

Self-images are our own minds pictures of ourselves. These images (意象) include the way we look, the way we act, the way we talk and the way we think. When we find that believing in ourselves is a bit hard, it is time we build positive (積極的) self-images and learn to have happy lives.
Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about us. Unluckily, most of these images are more negative (消極的) than they should be. Thus changing the way we think about ourselves is the key to change our self-images and our whole world.
The best way to destroy a passive (被動的) self-image is to step back and decide to pay attention to our successes. That is, make a list if we need to, but write down all of the great things we do every day. Dont allow doubts to happen on us.
It very well might be that we are experiencing negative self-images because we cant move past the weakness that we see about ourselves. Well, make a change of it as our primary tasks. If we think were silly because we arent good at math, find someone to help us. If we think were weak because we cant run a mile, get more practice. But remember, what we think doesnt mean its true.
The best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that our images are far from the goals, and to actively make ourselves believe that we have positive personalities. Changing the way we think and working on those we need to improve will go a long way to create new positive self-images. When we can pat ourselves on the back (鼓勵,贊揚(yáng)), well know were well on our way.
