　　Passage 1

　　The elevator door slid open. The crowd inside let out a collective gasp of excitement. But no one was more excited than my mom. This 110-pound woman is not normally rude, but suddenly she rushed through the door, nearly knocking over an elderly German tourist.

　　My mom wasn’t interested in the sights; she just wanted air. If there’s one thing that frightens my mom more than packed spaces, it’s heights. We were now 889 feet above the Paris cityscape. Maybe we should have taken the Eiffel Tower off our “to do”list.

　　By the time I caught up with her, she had pressed her entire body against a huge steel girder(大梁). I couldn’t help but laugh.

　　“What?” she said defensively, her arms wrapped around the support and her face flushed. “I’m having a great time. ”

　　“Yeah, I can tell. Let’s go, ”I said.

　　My mom replied,“I can’t. ” Amidst the twinkling reflection of the City of Lights, I saw terror in her eyes. She was so scared of heights, she couldn’t move.

　　I was going to have to think of something―and fast. “I know, Mom!”I shouted, making her jump. “We don’t have to get back in the elevator. We can walk all the way down. ” Before she could think about it, I took her arm and led her over to the stairs.

　　Finally, after 20 minutes, we headed down the last flight. “See? That wasn’t so bad. ”

　　I pushed on the steel exit gate. The gate didn’t move. I felt a fit of panic. I pushed again, still no movement. I shoved again and again against the gate. Out of breath, I felt on the verge of tears.

　　“Qu’est-ce que c’est la probleme?”

　　A young French security guard stood on the other side of the gate. He repeated his question. The fact that I didn’t understand French only made me panic more. I banged violently on the door, and rocked against it―still nothing.

　　The guard smiled now. He pointed up and said in English, “The sign. Read it. ”I followed his pointing finger to a sign that hung above the gate. It said:“Tirez.” I looked at the guard blankly. What did that mean?

　　“The sign,” the guard told me. “It says, Pull. ”

　　Stepping back, I stopped pushing the gate. I pulled instead. It swung open easily. Now my face burned with embarrassment, not panic.

　　“Karen, you really need to learn to relax,” my mom said, laughing as she breezed past me.

　　21. Karen laughed at her mom because _____________ .

　　A. she was too nervous

　　B. she was too excited

　　A. thought it funny

　　B. regretted visiting the Tower

　　C. decided to go down the stairs immediately

　　D. felt embarrassed about her mother’s rudeness

　　24. What triggered Karen’s fear?

　　Passage 2

　　Sixth-grader Ivory Kelly finished up an English assignment at the blackboard. Then . . . Ping! Ping! He felt his head being hit. The 12-year-old knew just who was attacking him. He spun around and shouted at DeAngela Byrd. DeAngela claimed she was innocent. Then she called Ivory a“guinea pig(豚鼠). ”“Liar!” he yelled back. Their teacher, Linda Mann didn’t send them to the principal. She didn’t even make them stand in the hall. Instead, she sent them to work things out in a small storage room in the school. The room is Glengarry Elementary’s mediation(調解) center.

　　Mediation in school is a way to solve disputes without having teachers punish students. Kid mediators are trained to listen to classmates accused of misbehaving or fighting. Without taking sides, the mediators help troubled kids come up with their own solutions. It usually takes no more than 15 minutes.

　　At Glengarry, 30 students from third through sixth grades are trained to settle fights. After calmly discussing the attack and name calling with sixth-grade mediators, Michael Reese and Tracie Thacker, Ivory and DeAngela signed a pledge “not to mess with each other. ”

　　Many U. S. elementary schools are starting to give kids more responsibility for discipline. In the past 10 years’ one-tenth of the nation’s 86,000 public schools have staffed programs to resolve conflicts, mostly in middle or high schools. But educators want to begin more mediation programs sooner. They say elementary-age kids are even better at talking about their feelings and deciding on a fair solution than older kids are! When a teacher or principal is not involved, “kids talk more freely,” says Glengarry Principal Loraine Johnson.

　　So far, mediation seems to work well. In one survey of 115 Ohio elementary schools with mediation programs’ two out of three noted a decrease in fights, and more than half said fewer kids were being sent to the principal’s office. In New Mexico, reports of bad behavior in elementary schools have dropped 85% since mediation programs began.

　　Glengarry mediator David Townlye , 11, says the method really works and not just in school. He used his new skills to help end a long-running battle between his grandmother and mother. “My grandmother thought my mother kept spending too much on flowers she planted outside our house,” said David. “I let both of them talk. Finally, my mother agreed not to spend so much. ”

　　26. What do the kid mediators do in the center?

　　A. They provide a solution for the kids who fight.

　　B. They each defend a kid involved in the conflict.

　　C. They listen to the kids talking about their disputes.

　　D. They pick the punishment for the kids who misbehave.

　　27. Which is NOT mentioned as a possible way for teachers to solve disputes according to the passage?

　　A. Talking to the kids themselves.

　　B. Sending the kids to the principal.

　　C. Making the kids stand in the hall.

　　D. Sending the kids to the mediation center.

　　28. What is one of the reasons that many schools have set up mediation programs according to the passage?

　　A. There is not enough staff to settle kid disputes.

　　B. Schools want kids to be more responsible for discipline.

　　C. Mediation skills are vital to kids in their later development.

　　D. Kids enjoy listening to classmates who are accused of misbehaving.

　　29. The survey of schools in Ohio that participated in mediation programs ______________ .

　　A. indicates that teachers need to be mediators

　　B. proves that mediation can stop all school violence

　　C. reports that the programs are also effective at homes

　　D. shows some schools have a decrease in bad behavior

　　30. What can you infer from the passage?

　　A. Kids love working as mediators.

　　B. Kids are better mediators than teachers.

　　C. Not all kids become mediators at schools.

　　D. School principals don’t have to deal with students’ disputes.
