阅读理解

    Have you ever been in a conflict(冲突)? Do you know how to solve it? Conflict resolution is a peaceful way of trying to solve a conflict. Both sides in the conflict explain what they think happened to cause it. The person who listens to both sides is called the mediator(调解人).

    After both sides tell what they think happened to cause the conflict, they discuss ways to solve it. They try to come up with a "resolution" that both sides agree to. They cannot be angry during the communication. Everyone should use good listening and attending skills while talking. If voices get too loud or it appears that someone is angry, the mediator will speak up and have them treat each other with respect. After different suggestions are shared in how to mediate the conflict, it is time for discussing the best solution(解决办法).

    Here is an example of how conflict resolution works step by step in a school playground setting:

    Someone says a student pushed him on the football field.

    The person who was accused as the "pusher" says it was actually an accident.

    The person who was pushed gets the mediator.

    The mediator takes the two persons to a quieter place , away from others to talk.

    The mediator calms them down and lets the m know he understands their feelings.

    Each person describes what happened.

    The mediator repeats what he heard, so it is clear to everyone.

    The mediator asks for ideas to solve the problem.

    The two persons offer their own solutions.

    The two persons have a discussion and come to an agreement.

    The mediator makes sure the persons follow the solution.

    The mediator offers praise for solving the problem.

    Conflict resolution can be used in many environments. It encourages people to tell what really happened, to share their feelings, and to work together peacefully to solve the problem. It offers people workable steps to reach an agreement with the help of a mediator.

In July, China introduced the"Double Reduction"Policy. It hopes to reduce the stress of homework on primary and middle school students. The policy calls for reducing homework and after-school classes. According to the policy, children below the third grade will not have homework anymore.It should take no more than 90 minutes for middle school students to finish their homework. After-school training institutions(机构) are not allowed to offer advanced(提前的)teaching on weekends, holidays or during winter and summer vacations.

"Our homework is clearly less than before", said 13-year-old Shen Yuzhe from Beijing."We are not encouraged to buy workbooks anymore. The exercises are mainly from the textbook."According to Shen, students have enough time to learn new knowledge now."Our teachers are also giving us more chances to try out and learn from real life,"said Shen.

For 13-year-old Zhang Hangming from Tianjin, the best thing about"Double Reduction"is the increased time in after-school activities."We can now spend more time taking part in clubs and activities, such as dancing, volleyball and musical instruments. I can learn all kinds of skills more than schoolwork,"said Zhang.

Shen also pointed out that self-discipline becomes more important now."Some students now spend more time having fun when homework is finished early. But if you use all the free time to relax, you might fall behind other students,"he said.

①Walking slowly out of the classroom by himself to the dining room; taking his lunch; sitting and eating alone at a table of four seats, such moments are pretty normal to be seen on the 14-year-old schoolboy, Peter. He spends most of his school time on his own, which makes his parents worry about him so much.

②His parents' worries are easy to understand. It is widely accepted that being alone is a symbol of being left out and can bring a lot of trouble. Most people believe teenagers who are usually alone do have few friends and are unable to fit in with other people. At the same time, they are at greater risk of having mental(心理的) problems.

③However, a new study by some researchers at Wilmington College, shows that this may not always be true. Whether it is bad for teenagers or not depends on the reasons why teenagers are alone. If it is their choice, it may play an active role in their personal growth.

④According to their study, when teenagers choose to think alone, they put 100% of their attention into what is in their mind and are more likely to experience deeper thoughts and feelings than working with others. They may have a greater chance to create something new, In this way they can better develop their creativity(创造力).

⑤On the other hand, the ongoing noise children's brains receive every day can put great stress on them and make it hard for them to focus. Being alone lets them shut themselves off from the noisy outside world and think about what's best for them. Slowly they improve their ability to focus.

⑥As a matter of fact, our culture is always biased(有偏见的) against being alone. Maybe it is the right time for us to rethink about Peter's situation before we say what's happening to him.

People know animals do have feelings, but they are not sure if these feelings are correctly understood. In recent years, scientists have done research about the feelings of cows, frogs and pandas.  ▲  It says that humans can tell whether a chicken is happy or sad by listening to its calls.

The researchers put a bowl behind a door. Inside the bowl, sometimes, there was something chickens love to eat, such as rice or insects. Sometimes, there was nothing. When the chickens saw food behind the door, they seemed happy and produced fast and loud sounds, known as food calls. When there wasn't food, the chickens made low and long noises to express disappointment. The researchers recorded all these sounds and studied their waves.

Then the researchers chose 16 recordings of such chicken noises. Half were from the chickens seeing the food and half were from the chickens finding no food. The recordings were played to 194 volunteers. Sixty-nine percent of the volunteers correctly understood whether the chickens were feeling happy or not, and some of them even had no experience of taking care of chickens.

The result shows that humans have the natural ability to understand the feelings of chickens. Hopefully, this finding can bring about new technology to help with chicken-raising, a big industry in many countries. Some scientists are already working on a smart computer program that can identify chickens' feelings. This is good news for farmers who want to make the birds happier and healthier.

Do you speak a dialect (方言) in daily life? While many Chinese people speak Putonghua, some local dialects are in danger of disappearing. To save them, the Chinese government started the Chinese Language Resources Protection Project a few years ago.

This project looks at how people talk in 1,712 places. Their languages include 103 dialects that are almost gone. It has helped China to build the largest language resource library in the world. There's an online library where people can learn dialects from over 5.6 million audio clips (音频) and over 5 million videos.

Why is it important to protect the dialect culture? According to British linguist Harold Palmer, dialects are a key to store local cultures. Language faithfully shows the history, the beliefs and the biases of an area, he said.

Scholar Zhang Hongming talked about his worries of the disappearing of dialects. "For about over10 years, in the Wu dialect areas such as Shanghai and Suzhou, children aged 6 to 15 can understand but hardly speak the dialect. Meanwhile, young people above 15 years old sometimes speak it, but not very well. If this keeps happening, the dialect might disappear." he said.

So how did China make this big library? A big national effort has been put into the project to make it happen, said Cao Zhiyun, chief expert on the project. Over five years, more than 350 universities and research groups joined in, along with over 4,500 experts and more than 6,000 dialect speakers.

The project is now entering into its second part. This includes creating digital tools like apps and mobile dictionaries to help people learn dialects.
