(2022·重庆·二模)Conflict between young children in any childcare setting is unavoidable. There will always be tension arising from negotiations over toys, friendships, roles and so on. ___31___ But when children are supported to resolve conflict in a positive way, it can also lead to fantastic learning experiences.
First of all, it’s helpful to set some clear rules for your children. ___32___ They could include things like ‘each child will get a turn to give their side of the story’. Actually, even very small children are capable of resolving their own conflicts, and if possible should be left alone to do so. That will give them the best learning experience of all. ___33___
If a child is being hurt, or getting particularly upset, or the conflict is out of control in some other way, obviously you need to step in.
___34___ Gather the children together again and restate what happened; get the children to describe it in their own words. Ask them to come up with some ideas about how they might be able to avoid that particular conflict happening again and resolve it by themselves next time.
There are all kinds of reasons why some children are more likely than others to get into conflict on a regular basis. ___35___ For example, reinforce (强化) their positive behavior through descriptive praise, reward charts and so on, but also through more careful observation.
A.These children may need extra support.
B.Keep the rules simple and understandable.
C.However, intervention will also be necessary.
D.They may well manage to avoid the crisis by themselves.
E.This can be challenging for childcare workers to deal with.
F.If it is practical or necessary, move the children away and keep quiet.
G.Then it would be useful to reshape the learning experience after the conflict.

(2022·内蒙古通辽·二模)You plan and hope, keeping a close eye on the forecast. Even so, the vacation you expect gets ruined by the bad weather. I’m pretty sure that everyone has their story of the plans messed up by weather forecasts. ___36___Why is it that even with all the technological wonders in the world, it’s still a challenge to predict the weather
___37___A lot of data from different sources, like satellites, are accumulated and analyzed. Powerful computers use this data to make predictions. The idea of using numerical analysis to predict the weather originated in the 1920s with Lewis Fry Richardson’s writings. Later, with the help of supercomputers, this became a more practical approach.
Weather forecasts often go wrong, but not quite as often as you might think. We tend to focus mostly on what goes wrong, so it feels like the forecasts are always inaccurate. A five-day forecast is actually pretty accurate — ___38___For a seven-day forecast, the numbers go down to about 80%. But add more days and the uncertainty necessarily builds. These numbers are also much better than what they used to be. ___39___
To determine the state of the atmosphere at any point, and therefore make a forecast, several different changes must be taken into account. ___40___The changes are used as initial conditions that can be fed into mathematical models. The models are designed based on patterns in historical data and the typical behavior of weather. Advancements in data collection and the processing power of computers also help explain why forecasts today have improved so dramatically.
A.You can trust the forecast at your own risk.
B.Why are our weather forecasts so inaccurate
C.The forecasts are right about 90% of the time.
D.Weather forecasting is a complicated process.
E.These deal with wind, temperature, pressure, and others.
F.A five-day forecast today is as accurate as a one-day forecast in 1980.
G.There are many changes involved in describing the state of the atmosphere.

(2022·宁夏·银川一中一模)“I’m sorry” are two very important words that play a big part in daily life. You might apologize while squeezing through a crowd or using the last of the printer paper at work. It’s easy to say “I’m sorry”, but true apologies are a different story.___1___ Or you may wonder how to properly demand an apology if the other person is at fault With the following tips, you’ll find these are not hard.
Apologize sincerely. A genuine apology can help repair your relationship, and even your reputation—you’re showing that you can be trusted to do what’s right. But your relationship will remain tense if your apology seems casual.___2___
Apply specific principles. A meaningful apology comes down to the three R’s- regret, responsibility and remedy (补救办法). Firstly, communicate your regret. Show the other person you have recognized your error and can relate to his/her pain. Then take complete responsibility.___3___ Lastly, show that you’re working to improve the situation. Offer to make up for the harm you caused or promise you wouldn’t repeat it again.
___4___If you’re the offended (冒犯) party, describe what’s changed in the relationship and your true feeling. For example, you could say, “Although there’s a disagreement between you and me, I want us to be friends again. But I’ve been hurt, and I’d like an apology. I need you to acknowledge what you’ve done.”
Don’t expect immediate forgiveness. Most people hope for immediate forgiveness while apologizing, but that may mean you don’t respect the others’ emotions and all you care about is yourself.___5___After all, they were hurt and it would take them a while to recover.
A.Ask for an apology if necessary.

(2022·福建泉州·三模)The most popular course at Yale is Psych 157: Psychology and the Good Life, covering the science of happiness and how to apply it. Since its launch in 2018 by Professor Laurie Santos, the course has been taken by a quarter of Yale students and more than 200,000 others in its online version. ___6___
When chasing happiness, many of us are trying to be a little gentler with ourselves and assigning a priority to self-care. That’s a sensible strategy, Santos agrees. The trouble is how people understand self-care. We assume that self-care looks like a nice bubble bath - or even selfish pursuits. ___7___ We actually get more out of being more open, more social and more other-oriented (以他人为中心的) than spending money on ourselves.
Santos isn’t the only scientist insisting that you focus more on kindness to others than kindness to yourself. Research out of Oxford University confirms that even tiny acts of kindness can have significant effects on our happiness. ___8___ They boost mental well-being in the wider community. If you want to stay happy, focus less on self-indulgence (自我放纵) and more on kindness.
___9___ Everyone has made a silly decision or two. I myself have lived and learned from more than a few. It’s not the mistakes that matter. It’s how we deal with them. What we can do is to learn from the poor choices, terrible ideas and bad decisions of the past and not repeat them. We can also learn from the mistakes of others and avoid them. __10__ And we can make all the bumps and bruises (磕磕碰碰) count for something.
A.Apparently, we all have a thirst for happiness.
B.Self-care is the foundation for caring about others.
C.Finally, to pursue happiness, learn from mistakes.
D.Getting them down on paper will help us avoid mistakes.
E.And other studies show small acts of kindness can spread out.
F.Therefore, we can save the unavoidable pain in life for what’s worthwhile.
G.But data suggest the right way to treat ourselves would be to do nice things for others.

(2022·山东菏泽·一模)No matter what profession or occupation you hold you will need to work with others to meet your goals. Group work is a great way to showcase your own skills while getting help from your teammates in areas where you might not be as strong. _____11_____
Clarify the team expectations so everyone is on the same page. _____12_____ It’s likely that each teammate has a different idea about what’s expected of them, as well as what everyone else needs to be doing. It’s essential that the team discuss these expectations and agree on one universal list of expectations that everyone will follow.
_____13_____ No one likes a teammate who barely contributes to the project. Take on an equal part of the work, and speak up if you realize you aren’t doing your fair share. Not only will your group mates appreciate your work ethic, it will show your supervisor or instructor that you’re a good team player.
Direct your concern toward the problem, not your teammates. Don’t accuse or blame anyone on your team for causing the conflict, even if you believe they did. _____14_____ Have your team work through conflict, using it to their benefit.

(2022·河南·模拟预测)Being thoughtful and active listeners can help us be better friends, colleagues, and family members. And just like any other skill, our listening can be improved over time. Many people share with us the little ways they’ve become better listeners.____16____
Maintain eye contact.____17____ It helps you be “present” with them, and feel their emotions when they are sharing. It reduces the possibility of any distractions, and helps the other person know that you are truly present in your conversation.
____18____Active listening has become even more critical while working from home, as it’s so easy to talk over each other on Zoom calls. What you can gain from listening more and talking less is you actually get much more out of the conversation. Instead of focusing on what you are going to say next and not really absorbing what is being shared, keeping yourself on mute forces you to only come into the conversation when you have something relevant or meaningful to share. It allows others who may be less active to participate and it cuts down on the noise.
Listen without thinking of solutions. What may help you become a better listener is to stop trying to listen for the problem to fix. Your job is to listen and take in what’s being said. You can ask for clarifications while you are listening if you are unsure of their meaning.____19____ The point is to let them lead and don’t interrupt with solutions. That may not be what they need right now. If they only need to be heard or to find a listening ear, be that for them.
Block off enough time. To be a good listener, ensure you block time off.____20____ Instead, set aside 2-3 hours to ensure your friend has undivided attention. And confirm to your friend that you made time to have that long overdue talk. If you have a family, do it during school hours or when your partner is at home.
A.Take time for meditation.
B.It should not be for one hour.
C.Which of these tips will you try
D.Why do you think these are helpful
E.Put yourself on silent mode while others are talking.
F.But there’s no need to fix each part of the speakers’ issue as they are talking.
G.While listening, you’d better maintain considerable eye contact with the other person.
