2、ading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (15 minutes) Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions attached to the passage.

She hit me first.“ “He ruined my new Play-Station game. Cant he leave my stuff alone?

4、“ “Why do I have to give way to him all the time? Its not fair!“ Sound familiar? If youve got two or more children, you probably know how intense and hurtful sibling rivalry can beover the most trivial of things. “In our house, sometimes there is a quarrel over who gets to roller-skate down the driv

5、eway first,“ says Pat Weston, a mother of four. Resolving the conflicts, however, is far from a trivial matter. These early conflicts with siblings affect self-confidence and self-reliance, future friendships and family harmony, according to experts. Even the ways adults handle problems can refer ba

6、ck to early battles with a brother or sister. As a parent or guardian, how do you play up warmth, sharing and cooperationwhile under standing feelings of jealousy, anger and aggression? Try these tips for peace. See the big picture. Too often grown-ups step in at the “shriek stage“ of a conflict, sa

7、ys parent educator and author Elizabeth Crary. “So they miss the whole picture.“ The child who creates commotion(骚乱 )with a hostile act, such as hitting, may actually be the victim of repeated offensive actions from a sneakier sibling. “When a parent understands what is really going on, she can help

8、 both children,“ Crary explains. Observing your kids also allows for lots of opportunities to encourage instances of their good behavior: “I like the way you let your brother look at your baseball cards.“ Focus on feelings. When theyre angry, children are too nervous and confused to process in forma

9、tion correctly. Crary advises working between crises to teach calm-down techniqueshow to breathe deeply or shake out the “marls,“ for example. When everyone is less angry, try helping your kids to identify and express their underlying emotions, and listen sensitively to each ones side. At first, esp

10、ecially with very young children, you may need to do some prompting. For example: “I can see youre sad that your sister doesnt feel like sharing her crayons right now.“ or, “You seem upset that Mummy spends so much time feeding the baby.“ When kids learn that their feelings will be respected, they o

11、ften become more considerate of others. Rely on rules. In the Di Micele kitchen, the walls are devoted to the childrens artwork, all on the theme of getting along. With three boys under age six, parents Sabrina and Eric make a special effort to explain and reinforce the rules for harmony. “Still,“ S

12、abrina admits, “its hard. We all have to work on this.“ It takes time and patience, but rules do reduce conflict. “Children understand rules and want boundaries,“ says Hildy Ross, professor of psychology at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada. “Without them, issues dont get resolved.“ Ross

13、 found that parents actually enforce their rules inconsistently, only about half the time. During busy periods, perhaps they do not follow through, or even forget the rules they created. Aggressive acts by kids generate more notice than violations against propertytaking a toy, or not sharing, for in

14、stance. “But property and individual rights are important to kids, and so is consistency,“ says Ross. A possession a child prizes should be protected to limit confrontations. Privacy and personal space deserve protection too. And to avoid remote-control fights, be clear about the schedule for TV, vi

15、deo or computer games. A timer or calendar can prevent countless “Its my turn!“ quarrels. Let kids own the answer. When establishing rules or handling conflicts, help children find solutions on their own. A three-step plan is a good idea. First, define the issue: “What are you fighting over?“ Next,

16、promote understanding by asking each child to repeat the others point of view: “What did your brother say about playing with his Lego toys?“ Finally, see if the kids can brainstorm a solution. Working together, the Di Miceli boys decided to watch “Sesame Street“ on the big family television. If olde

17、st brother Chase got bored, he could watch cartoons on the TV set upstairs. Chase also exchanged computer time. He gets to use the Playhouse Disney games before school, and four-year-old Grayson takes his turn in the afternoon. “Children are more thoughtful, creative and agreeable when they have so-

18、so in solving their problems,“ Ross explains. Model good behavior. Mum is typically the referee(裁判员 )in disputes, but according to one study, Dads positive influence has more weight when it comes to cooperation. “Affectionate fathers who showed how to share and take turns taught children a style of

19、interaction that in creased cooperation,“ states Brenda Volling, associate professor of psychology at the University of Michigan. Parents can create teachable moments by playing family board games that promote cooperation. Or they can set the stage for pretend play that allows each child to have an

20、exciting role.(“Your sister wants to be a police officer, so how about if you become a firefighter?“) Kids are highly motivated to have close, loving relationships within the family, say the experts. And cooperation with one another spirals(盘旋移动 )outwards in their lives, attracting friends who appre

21、ciate their skills. Says Volling, “Showing kids how to express their feelings, compromise and have fun together is a lifelong gift.“ Those early sibling bonds really do mean a lot. 2 The passage offers some advice on how to solve children rivalry at school. （ A） Y （ B） N （ C） NG 3 Early conflicts wi
