just don’t like one of your classmates?
If you discover that you have problems getting on with your classmates or friends, the most important thing to learn is tolerance. Tolerance is the ability to realize and respect the differences in others. We can not change the way that other people do, so it is important to learn to live happily with them.
Tolerance will make everyone get on better with each other. Getting to know someone may help you understand why they do things differently. Something different does not exactly mean that it is bad. Tolerance teaches us to keep atemperateand open mind. You need to remember an old saying, “Treat others how you want to be treated”. If you tolerate something, it does not mean that you have to like it. No one is asking you to change who you are or what you believe in. Tolerance just means that you should respect the differences in others and not try to make them change. It is important to practice tolerance, because it will make everyone’s life easier. Learn to accept people for their different abilities and interests. The world is very different, and practicing tolerance in your own school and city can help make a difference. 1．This passage is trying to tell us_______.

16、Chinese handwriting is an important part of our culture. It has a long history . “ Though the computer is widely used today, Chinese people still need to master the skill of writing with hands,” said a person who works in a government office．
With the development of the modern science ,the computer has become a very useful tool to help people to write. People use computers more often than before, so many people have forgotten how to write Chinese characters(字)．People often make a lot of mistakes in writing.
Now China has realized that it is important to help students and teachers to improve their writing . With the help of the information technology, teachers can write their questions on the board and students should answer them by writing, too.
Lots of surveys show that many college students' handwriting has become worse. Lots of college students do not know how to make up words or sentences in Chinese character in the right way. Not only kids, but also many adults have problems . They might be able to tell the general form of a certain character. However, if you ask them to spell out all the strokes of the character in the right order , they can't. But they can easily type（打字） it on a computer .
In the national language teaching course, we can solve this problem with the use of some technologies. Besides technology, there is a lot that we can do. For example, we may ask students to finish their homework by writing with hands instead of typing .

17、Although most people believe that laughter is one of the nature’s great treatments for a whole range of mental and physical diseases, it is still a serious scientific subject that researchers are trying to figure out. “Laughter above all else is a social thing,” says Baltimore neuroscientist(神经科学家), Robert Provine, who has studied laughter for many years. “All laughter groups laugh ‘ha-ha-ha’ basically the same way. Whether you speak Mandarin, French or English, everyone will understand laughter. There is a pattern generator(发生器) in our brain that produces this sound.”
Laughing is our first way of communicating. Babies laugh long before they speak. No one teaches them how to laugh. They just do. People may laugh at a prank(恶作剧) on April Fools’ Day. But surprisingly, only 10 to 15 percent of laughter is the result of someone making a joke. Laughter is mostly about social responses rather to a joke. Deaf people laugh without hearing and people on cell phones laugh without seeing, showing that laughter isn’t dependent on single sense but on social interactions.
And laughter is not just a people thing. Chimps tickle(挠痒) each other and even laugh when another chimp pretends to tickle them.
Jaak Panksepp, a Bowling Green University Psychology professor, studies rats that laugh when he tickles them. It turns out rats love to be tickled — they return again and again to the hands of researchers tickling them.
By studying rats, scientists can_____what’s going on in the brain during laughter. Northwestern University biomedical engineering professor, Jeffrey Burgdorf has found that laughter in rats produces a chemical that acts as an antidepressant(抗抑郁药). He thinks the same thing probably happens in humans, too. This would give doctors a new chemical target to develop drugs that can fight depression.
Even so, laughter itself has not been proved to be the best medicine, experts said. Margaret Stuber, a professor at University of California, studied whether laugher helped patients. She found that distraction(分心) and mood improvement helped, but she could not find a benefit of laughter alone. “No study has shown that laughter produces a direct health benefit,” Provine said, mainly because it’s hard to separate laughter from just feeling good. But he thinks it doesn’t really matter: “Isn’t the fact that laughter feels good when you do it enough?”
1．（小题1）The underlined word “figure out” in Paragraph 6 means “________”. A．deal with B．work out C．look out of D．come up with
2．（小题2）According to the passage, scientists studied rats in order to find ______. A．how they laugh
B．if they like laughing
C．what laughter in rats produces D．how rats react while being tickled
3．（小题3）What can we know from Robert Provine’s research? A．Laughter makes a person feel good. B．Laughter produces a direct health benefit. C．Laughter depends on all kinds of senses. D．Laughter is a way of communicating.
4．（小题4）What is probably the best title for this passage? A．Why Rats Laugh B．When Laughter Happens C．How Laughter Works D．Why Laughter Matters

Who is the greatest teacher in Chinese history? Many people would think of Confucius, whose birthday was September 28. Although he lived over 2,000 years ago, people still remember and respect him for his contribution to the education today.
Confucius lived in the Kingdom of Lu, which lies in Shandong Province. He lived during the Spring and Autumn Period. He had a hard childhood. His father died when he was only 3. His mother brought him up. As a child, he had to work to help his mother, but young Confucius didn’t give up studying. He visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poetry and sports.
Later, he became a teacher and started the first public school in Chinese history. At that time only children from noble families could go to school, but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn. He had about 3,000 students in his lifetime.
Today, people still follow Confucius’ lessons. He told us that we all have something worthy to be learned. “When I am with three people, one of them must be better than me in some areas. I choose their good qualities and follow them.”
