5.Having returned from her round trip,the angry woman stood outside the ticket office of the station."The railway owes me£12,"she said to Harry Jenks,the young man working at the office."You sold me a ticket for May 22nd,but there was no ship from Jersey that night.So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel.It cost me£12."

"Yes,"she answered,shyly."The beach was lovely.And I can swim too!"
"That's fine,"said Harry."My little girl can't swim a bit yet.Of course,she's only three…"
"I'm four,"the child said proudly."I'll be four and a half."
Harry turned to the mother."I remember your ticket,Madam,"he said."But you didn't get one for your daughter,did you?"
"Er,well-"the woman looked at the child."I mean…she hasn't started school yet.She's only four."
"A four-year-old child must have a ticket,Madam.A child's return ticket to Jersey costs …let me see…£13.50.So if the railway pays your hotel,you will owe£1.50.The law is the law,but since the fault was mine…"

16.It is necessary to be reasonable and flexible enough to avoid conflicts as much as possible and live in peace with others.(36)G If you have done all your best to avoid conflicts and you are still arguing,then read these effective tips on how to avoid conflicts.
Don't get in the center of the conflict.
Sometimes people can get in the center of conflicts due to their enthusiasm for offering help.Frankly speaking,it is very unwise,because it can make you the main figure of the conflict.(37)D You should focus on your own life issues.
Be kind.
(38)F Life is full of conflicts and disagreements,that's why you should find more conservative ways of dealing with them.For example,kindness can lessen the conflict.
Try to be a peacekeeper.
Peacekeepers tend to cooperate with people without bad emotions which usually lead to arguments and even conflicts."(39)A"This saying is the life motto of a natural-born peacekeeper.Don't worry if you are not a natural-born peacekeeper; you can gain this skill during life.
Walk off.
When the conflict is gathering pace and you can't manage to control yourself,you should choose to handle the situation in another way.By all means,try to keep yourself away from stress.(40)E You should get away from the situation for a while.

A.The greatest victory is a battle not fought.
B.Conflicts are unavoidable,so try to accept them.
C.Weak people usually desire others to offer help and support.
D.Let other people solve their problems without your presence.
E.It is helpful to put some distance between yourself and the opponent.
F.When someone pushes you to the limit,try to act kindly towards this person.
G.Arguing can either break your friendship or affect your relationship to some degree.

I'm so glad to hear from you.In your letter,you asked me that you should come back or stay abroad before you finish your studies in the US.For my opinion,you'd better come back.For one thing,what you are studying are badly needed in our country now.Therefore,it will be quite easily for you to find out a good job here.Actually,I know that a little big companies in our city are eager employ talent like you.For other,I think it will be much more convenient for you to look after your aged parents.In the word,I think it's a good idea for you to return.

15.It's backtoschool time for kids across the country,but for the lucky sixthtoeighthgrade students in  Stephanie  Stephens'classroom at James L.Capps Middle School in Oklahoma City,the US,they are already off to a wizardry first few days of learning.
"One of the toughest things as a reading teacher is instilling(逐渐灌输) a love of reading in those students that do not like reading,"Stephens,a teacher of 31 years old at James L.Capps Middle School,wrote to ABC News of her magical"Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"themed classroom."This year,I chose to go with a Harry Potter theme because if I am excited and enthusiastic,students tend to follow suit.My goal is to help students find at least one book or genre that they can find exciting and be as enthusiastic about as I am regarding Harry Potter."
When her kids walked into her elective reading and math classroom on the first day of school Aug.20,they were all excited to take a tour of the room-every one of them felt like they had walked straight into Hogwarts in Harry Potter.
"The majority of my students loved the potions most,"Stephens wrote.
It took the creative teacher a week to plan and order the different bookthemed items.
"I thought of everything that happened in the novel of Harry Potter and  the Sorcerer's Stone,"she explained.
"I chose to keep with only the first book regarding decorating.I made a list of things that I could decorate the room with.I thought of all the magical things Harry saw and experienced and put myself in his shoes and picked the things that I could pull off in a classroom.I never got to a broom or mirror,but I planned to add that to my room at a later time."
Stephens and her husband are such crazy fans of the Harry Potter books and movies that she says they actually"fall asleep to a Harry Potter movie every night".
She's encouraging her students to be enthusiastic about school and learning by splitting her classes up into different"houses"where they will earn"house points"for positive behavior.
"Each class is a different house and they will earn house points for different positive behavior in my classroom(5 points for a 100% on an assessment,1 point each day when a class picks up the classroom before leaving,2 points for students who bring all their supplies to class,5 points for students who are kind and help others without being asked,ect.),"Stephens wrote."Once the house points jar fills up they get a class reward."
The prefect desk will also be used to highlight her student helper for the week who assists her in the classroom with checking iPads in and out to their fellow classmates,passing out papers,collecting papers and running errands for Stephens.
"A student is chosen for the prefect desk by following our school beliefs:‘Be Safe,Be Respectful,Be Responsible,Be Prompt,'"she explained."The students are very excited about the chance to be a prefect."
The photos of Stephens'"Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"themed classroom have gotten more than 10,000views since her husband posted them to Reddit.She is very grateful for all the attention that the photos of her magical classroom are receiving.However,the teacher says that she simply does what she should do for her students"because they deserve the best"."My students mean the world to me,"she added with a big smile on her face,"and I hope my enthusiasm for reading will transfer to each and every one of my kids."
