Passage 2Two friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever,even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started. Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country. In fact,according to an official report on youth violence,“In our country today,the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment,but the terrible reality of violence”. Given that this is the case,why aren't students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems,drive cars,or stay physically fit?First of all,students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. A report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult. For example,a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults,which in turn can lead to violence. The problem isn't in the sandwich,but in the way students deal with the conflict.Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable,they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution: stay calm. Once the student feels calmer,he or she should choose words that will calm the other person down as well. Rude words,name-calling,and accusation only add fuel to the emotional fire. On the other hand,soft words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control.After both sides have calmed down, they can use another key strategy for conflict resolution: listening. Listening allows the two sides to understand each other. One person should describe his or her side, and the other person should listen without interrupting. Afterward, the listener can ask non-threatening questions to clarify the speaker's position. Then the two people should change roles.Finally, students need to consider what they are hearing. This doesn't mean trying to figure out what's wrong with the other person. It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish. For example, a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things. Students need to ask themselves questions such as these: How did this start? What do I really want? What am I afraid of? As the issue becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomes smaller. Even if it doesn't, careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution.There will always be conflict in schools, but that doesn't mean there needs to be violence. After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution program, according to Educators for Social Responsibility,"64% of the teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom;75% of the teachers reported an increase in student cooperation; and 92% of the students felt better about themselves". Learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends, teachers, parents, bosses, and coworkers. In that way, conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country.This article is mainly about______.
A

the lives of school children

B

the cause of arguments in schools

C

how to analyze youth violence

D

    Friendship

    Friends play an important part in our lives,and although we may take the fact of
    friendship for granted,we often don't clearly understand how we make friends.While we
    get on well with a number of people,we are usually friends with only a very few一for
    example,the average among students is about 6 per person.
    Moreover,a great many relationships come under the blanket term"friendship".In all
    cases,two people like each other and enjoy being together,but beyond that,the degree
    of intimacy between them and the reasons for their mutual interest vary enormously.
    Initially,much depends on how people meet,and on favourable first impressions.As
    we get to know people,we take into account things like age,race,physical
    attractiveness,economic and social status,and intelligence.Although these factors are
    not of prime importance,it is more difficult to relate to people when there is a marked
    difference in age and background.
    On a more immediate level,we are sensitive to actual behaviour,facial expression,
    and tone of voice.Friends will stand closer together and will spend more time looking at
    each other than mere acquaintances.Smiles and soft voices also express friendliness,and
    it is because they may transmit the wrong signals that shy people often have difficulty in
    making friends.A friendly gaze with the wrong facial expression can turn into an aggressive
    stare,and nervousness may be misread as hostility.People who do not look one in the eye
    are mistrusted when,in fact,they simply lack confidence.
    Some relationships thrive on argument and discussion,but it is usual for close friends
    to have similar ideas and beliefs,to have attitudes and interests in common一they often talk
    about"being on the same wavelength".It generally takes time to reach this point;
    sometimes people"click"immediately.The more intimately involved people become, the
    more they rely on one another.People want to do friends favours and hate to let them
    down.Equally,friends have to learn to make allowances for each other,to put up with
    irritating habits,and to tolerate differences of opinion.Imagine going camping with
    someone you occasionally meet for a drink!
    In contrast with marriage,there are no friendship ceremonies,no rituals to strengthen
    the association between two people.But the mutual support and understanding that results
    from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a powerful bond,which can
    overcome differences in background,and break down barriers of age,class or race.

    In all cases,close friends have similar beliefs and interests.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案:B
