Recently, a middle school from Nanjing decided to help students with their exams in a special way. That is Banking Exam Scores. Here is an example. Matt got 59 in the first exam. Then he borrowed 1 score to help him pass the exam. In the next exam, he got 61. And he must return the score he borrowed. As a result, he passed both exams. However, discussion on Banking Exam Scores soon takes place on the Inter. Zack: While it can build students’ confidence, it can also make them feel that it’ s fine to fail an exam. Students will depend on the “ score bank ” too much and not make progress. Besides, I will fail to know my children’ s real exam results, as their scores will not show their real ability. Gee: As a student, I think it’ s very hard to get high scores all the time. After not getting the expected scores, many students, especially excellent ones, lose confidence. The “ score bank” will build their confidence and help them remain active. What’ s more, returning scores will develop selfcontrol. I hope my college will think about this way, too . Charlie: I don’ t agree. Students may form a bad habit, spending much more than they can afford. Borrowing scores is like borrowing money from banks. If those students cannot return the scores, they will lose again and again. They may put themselves under more pressure. Kate: It’ s a clever idea. In my parents’ eyes, the score means everything. But that’ s not true. The “ score bank” provides us with a proper way to solve the problem. It not only lowers our pressure of failing an exam, but also encourages us to study harder to return the scores we borrowed. All in all, it helps us study in an easy way. ( )61.

C、閱讀與回答問(wèn)題(共 5小題,每小題 2分,計(jì) 10分) Once again, I argued with my son, which I never really wanted to do. When I told my friend about my problems with Paul, he showed me a short article that he had read. It was titled “ Disagreeing, with Good Results” . The article said that understanding another person is never easy, but it is most difficult when we do not agree with the other person. If we want to have good relationships with other people, we must learn to disagree fairly, so that we can solve our problems. The article went on to say the first rule for a good disagreement is: we must want to solve the problem. Sometimes when people argue, they do not really want to end the disagreement. Therefore, they usually shout at each other, and one person walks away just to end the disagreement. Nothing is changed. The problem is still there. The second rule is: we should make the problem clear in the simplest way possible. What exactly are we arguing about? The third rule is: we need to listen actively. In active listening, we listen to understand what the other person says rather than thinking only about what we want to say next. Before we react to the other person’ s ideas, we should be sure that we understand them. While we are listening, we should look for similarities in our ideas, not difference. We should look for a way to promise— to find a solution that both of us can be happy with. 76. What’ s the name of the writer’ s son? ____________________________________ 77.
