【题目】It’s official. Denmark—as well as being the world’s best country to live in for women with the second-happiest people and one of the best healthcare systems in Europe—has the most contented babies. Or, at least, the ones who cry the least. According to research published in the Journal of Pediatrics, Danish, German and Japanese babies cry the least, while British, Canadian and Italian babies cry the most.
“I’m not surprised,” Danish parenting expert and co-author of The Danish Way of Parenting Jessica Alexander tells me. “The first year of a child’s life is considered so important in Denmark. Danish parents are much less stressed because they get good maternity and paternity leave (孕产假). The atmosphere is much calmer and, if mothers are getting more time off, that goes hand in hand with less stress, more contact, more routines and less crying.” She pauses before throwing in a final tip: “Oh, and Danish babies sleep outdoors a lot.”
In Denmark, a woman is given four weeks pregnancy leave followed by 52 weeks of paid leave that can be shared between parents. And Alexander thinks there is another important reason why Danish babies cry less: breastfeeding. “It’s just the done thing in Denmark,” she says of a country that has the world’s highest breastfeeding rates. “In other countries, there are continual discussions about whether you should or shouldn’t breastfeed. In Denmark, breastfeeding has never gone out of style. And everyone does it for a year.”
For Iben Sandahl, Alexander’s co-author, it comes down to the Danish attitude to life in general. “We are an honest and pure people,” she tells me. “We are surrounded by social support and are less likely to become angry, sad or annoyed when our babies are crying. And we are good at embracing (拥抱) all kinds of feelings, so we aren’t scared. Instead, we try to connect with the babies when they cry. It’s how babies communicate and it’s about trying to understand it.”
【1】Which of the following can make a baby cry less?
A. An effective healthcare system.
B. More company from a parent.
C. An energetic busy mother.
D. More chances to meet fellow babies.
【2】It can be learned from the text that ________.
A. something in the milk from breastfeeding can keep babies happy
B. Demark is second to none in protecting its females’ rights
C. Danish parents’ attitudes to a baby’s first year vary considerably
D. breastfeeding is a common and accepted practice in Denmark
【3】When babies cry, Danish parents will probably ________.
A. try to figure out what they want
B. put them outdoors for a good sleep
C. seek social support for guidance
D. wait a moment for them to calm down

【题目】We can have conflicts with our important persons like friends, relatives, workmates, etc. But the conflict doesn't necessarily mean that the relationship will be destroyed. In fact, sometimes conflict helps people to let out their silent feelings, allowing them to free their suppressed emotions. However, when in a conflict, we usually get angry and say or do things which aren't linked to the problem at hand. Therefore, it is important that we should try to avoid conflicts through effective communication.
In a heated argument, we usually say things that aren't related to the real problem, and even use rude words to make sure we gain an advantage over the other persons. Then the whole situation goes badly. So we should not separate(隔离) the root cause of the problem and build our discussion around it. This ensures that there are no rude remarks and the situation moves in a positive direction.
It's easy for us to think we're right and if something isn't working out, it surely must be someone else's fault. However, if you aim to solve a conflict, first of all, you should show some respect and allow the other persons to express themselves. Using remarks like, "I understand your concern on this "or "I know you're right at your end", would make the other persons feel more appreciated.
Sometimes some people get too excited and may behave in the wrong way or say something others may not appreciate. This can cause a worse situation. Actually, they should control their emotions and keep calm. This has to be learned through self-control and observing behavior of other people.
The tips mentioned above are useful for most situations. However, we don't rule out the possibility that there are some people who always want to create some sort of trouble for others. You can tell them from others, and putting in an effort to resolve a conflict with them may just not be a wise idea. The best way to deal with these people is to forget them. A famous saying can help you and that is: "You should never fight with a pig; you both get dirty and only the pig likes it."
【1】What can we learn from Paragraph 1?
A. Conflicts may help us deal with our emotions.
B. Conflicts can improve our relations with others greatly.
C. Effective communication can help us avoid conflicts undoubtedly.
D. The closer two friends are, the more conflicts are between them.
【2】When making discussions to solve conflicts, we should ________.
A. know others' personal quality
B. know others' ability of expression
C. avoid showing our disadvantages
D. center on the root cause of the problem
【3】The author suggests that when people get too excited, they should ________.
A. behave like other people
B. control the situation
C. learn to keep their head
D. say something unconcerned
【4】In the author's opinion, how should you deal with those who always want to create trouble for you?
A. Fight with them.
B. Ignore them.
C. Have a talk with them.
D. Give them something they like.
