Every family has their fair share of fights.

But if improving the home-harmony is on your resolution this year, it is important to learn how to start off the conversation when you

feel upset, irritated or angry. Here are our top 10 ways to avoid fights and improve family communication by leading with the right foot.

#1 Be sure you have your family member’s attention. Check for eye contact. Ask if this is a good time; don’t compete with TV, iPods or video games

#2 Begin with something positive.Whenever you need to have a serious discussion with anyone, it is always advisable to begin with something positive.

#3 Do not attack. Attacks tend to begin with “you” statements, such as “You are!”“You never!,” or, “You always!”

#4 Do not exaggerate.Exaggeration is one way in which we vent our feelings when we are upset. This may relieve our inner tension but it does not do much to promote harmony.

#5 Do not mind-read.Many people like to play amateur psychologist and figure out what others are thinking. If we assume, we run the risk of inflaming tempers at home.

#6 Focus on preferences, not principles.So often, we pretend that others feelings are not as important as the “principle”

involved. As we argue, we desperately try to convince each other that we are “right.”

#7 Explain what made you feel the way you did.People often mistakenly assume that their feelings are universal. They think, “Anyone would feel the way I did.” It is so obvious to them that their feelings were “normal” that they see no need to explain to others exactly why they feel the way they do. Instead, they simply recount the disturbing events and let the tale speak for itself.

#8 Choose the right place to talk. Most of people think they are in the right place when they are talking with their children.However,it is not true. For instance:A father wanted to talk with his son about his study when his son was watching the comedy movie with his friends. When the father began to talk,at first his son felt uncomfortable,and then he began to be angry and said:"don't disturb me, I do not have time to talk with you about my study, you don't see we are watching the movie? From this story,thinking of the place before your conversiation is very important.

#9 Limit yourself to one or two topics.Family members

sometimes find that they have accumulated a long laundry list of complaints and grievances. When each one finally gets his or her turn to be the speaker, (s) he often tries to address too many subjects all at once. Use a “Talking Stick” to be sure each person gets time to be heard.

#10 Allow time for questions at the end.You would not learn very much attending a class if you were never permitted to ask questions. Similarly, you will not communicate effectively if you do not give your family members the opportunity to ask questions to clarify what you have just said.

It might be hard to remember to do everything every time. But by making a conscious effort and adopting at least one of these tools, you will find that you have improved the communication in your home.

Lesson 12 Life on a desert island 荒岛生活【Text】 §Lesson 12 Life on a desert island 荒岛生活 What was exceptional about the two men's stay on the desert island Most of us have formed an unrealistic picture of life on a desert island. We sometimes imagine a desert island to be a sort of paradise where the sun always shines. Life there is simple and good. Ripe fruit falls from the trees and you never have to work. The other side of the picture is quite the opposite. Life on a desert island is wretched. You either starve to death or live like Robinson Crusoe, waiting for a boat which never comes. Perhaps there is an element of truth in both these pictures, but few of us have had the opportunity to find out. Two men who recently spent five days on a coral island wished they had stayed there longer. They were taking a badly damaged boat from the Virgin Islands to Miami to have it repaired. During the journey, their boat began to sink. They quickly loaded a small rubber dinghy with food, matches, and tins of beer and rowed for a few miles across the Caribbean until they arrived at a tiny coral island. There were hardly any trees on the island and there was no water, but this did not prove to be a problem. The men collected rain-water in the rubber dinghy. As they had brought a spear gun with them, they had plenty to eat. They caught lobster and fish every day, and, as one of them put it 'ate like kings'. When a passing tanker rescued them five days later, both men were genuinely sorry that they had to leave. 参考译文我们许多人对于荒岛生活有一种不切实际的想法。我们有时想象荒岛是阳光终日普照的天堂。在那里，生活简单又美好。成熟的水果从树上掉下来，人们根本无需劳动。另一种想法恰恰相反，认为荒岛生活很可怕，要么饿死，要么像鲁滨孙那样，天天盼船来，却总没见船影。也许，这两种都像都有可信之处。但很少有人能有机会去弄个究竟。最近有两个人在一座珊瑚岛上呆了5天，他们真希望在那儿再多呆一些日子。他们驾着一条严重损坏的小船从维尔京群岛阿密修理。途中，船开始下沉，他们迅速把食物、火柴、罐装啤酒往一只救生筏上装。然后在加勒比海上划行了几英里，到了一座珊瑚岛上。岛上几乎没有一颗树，也没有淡水，但这不算什么问题。他们用像皮艇蓄积雨水。由于他们随身带了一支捕鱼枪，因此，吃饭不愁。他们天天捕捉龙虾和鱼，正如其中一位所说，吃得“像国王一样好”。5天后，一条油轮从那儿路过，搭救了他们。这二位不得不离开那个荒岛时，还真的感到遗憾呢！【New words and expressions】生词和短语 ◆desert island 荒岛 ◆unrealistic adj. 不真实的 ◆Paradise n. 天堂，乐土 ◆wretched adj. 可怜的，艰苦的 ◆Starve v. 挨饿成分element n. ◆． ◆opportunity n. 机会 ◆coral n. 珊瑚 ◆Virgin Islands 维尔京群岛 ◆Miami n. 迈阿密（美国最南的城市） ◆dinghy n. 救生筏，小船 ◆Caribbean n. 加勒比海 ◆spear gun 捕鱼枪

Lesson 1 A puma at large Pumas are large, cat-like animals which are found in America. When reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles south of London, they were not taken seriously. However, as the evidence began to accumulate, experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate, for the descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar. The hunt for the puma began in a small village where a woman picking blackberries saw 'a large cat' only five yards away from her. It immediately ran away when she saw it, and experts confirmed that a puma will not attack a human being unless it is cornered. The search proved difficult, for the puma was often observed at one place in the morning and at another place twenty miles away in the evening. Wherever it went, it left behind it a trail of dead deer and small animals like rabbits. Paw prints were seen in a number of places and puma fur was found clinging to bushes. Several people complained of 'cat-like noises' at night and a businessman on a fishing trip saw the puma up a tree. The experts were now fully convinced that the animal was a puma, but where had it come from? As no pumas had been reported missing from any zoo in the country, this one must have been in the possession of a private collector and somehow managed to escape. The hunt went on for several weeks, but the puma was not caught. It is disturbing to think that a dangerous wild animal is still at large in the quiet countryside. Language points Pay attention: The points below are not covered by the mp3. It is better for you to listen to the mp3 first and try to take notes by yourselves. 1，a puma at large at large 1：逃遁的，没有被控制的。
