It’s reported that a male waiter recently poured boiling water over a female customer at a hot pot restaurant after the woman was caught complaining about the waiter’s bad service online.
The female victim，surnamed Lin，reportedly got into an argument with the waiter，surnamed Zhu，when Zhu refused her repeated request for additional soup for her pot．Lin was rushed to hospital and was diagnosed with severe bums on up to 40％of her body．
Many netizens criticized the waiter for being too impulsive and ignoring the possible consequences，but some also accused Lin of being too picky．Meanwhile，some came up with a question worthy of discussion：
Many tragedies are caused by arguments and if the victim can control his or her anger and try to reach a compmmise，the tragedies could possibly be avoided．Sometimes so-called“cowardliness”can be a form of self-protection，especially when you are faced with strangers and you know little about their personalities．
When they calm down afterwards，they would regret their“ridiculous”behavior and have to pay the price for the consequences·
In May，a male driver in the southwestern city of Chengdu was captured on film intercepting a woman’s car and dragging her out of her seat，throwing her on the ground，before cruelly kicking her several times on the head，simply because the woman suddenly changed lanes in front of his car.
Forgive others’mistakes and avoid fueling others’anger．Accordingly，you may be less likely to suffer from unexpected troubles．

| C．How to keep ourselves safe when we argue with others? |
| D．The waiter has been arrested for further investigation and trial． |
E．This incident caused an outcry among netizens and opinion leaders．
F．But it is difficult to control our anger when we have conflict with others.
G．So next time you deal with conflict，it is more advisable to control your temper and say“sorry”with a smile．
Think about the last time you felt afraid．Was it a fear of height?Did you oversleep on a weekday and fear you’d get into trouble at the office?In any case，you know what it feels like to feel fear．
But one woman doesn’t．The woman，code-named“UM”，gave her first-ever interview after years of being studied by a team of researchers．The woman is given a code name because the researchers want to protect her from anyone who would take advantage of her inability to feel afraid．
UM can’t tell you what fear is because she’s never experienced it．“I wonder what it’s like to actually be afraid of something，”she said．The formal name for the disease is Urbach-Wieth disease，which is characterized by a hoarse(粗哑的)voice，small bumps around the eyes，and calcium deposits(钙沉积的)in the brain．
In the case of UM，the disease has transformed the part of her brain that controls the human response to fear．In the interview，UM talks about an event in her life where she was held at knifepoint and gunpoint，“I was walking to the store，and I saw a man on a park bench．He said．‘Come here，please，’so I went over to him．He grabbed me by the shirt，put a knife to my throat and told me he was going to cut me．I told him，‘Go ahead and cut me，’I wasn’t afraid at a11．And for some reason，he let me go．”
Doctors who have been studying UM’s condition for years have been trying different things that could strike fear into her．They finally figured something out—increasing UM’s carbon dioxide levels．Extra carbon dioxide concentration in the blood is known to cause fear and panic in health individuals．Increasing UM’s carbon dioxide levels did manage to give her a fright．The text starts by_______．
| A．challenging the reader | B．solving daily problems |
| C．1isting situations | D．giving explanations |
Why is the woman with Urbach-Wieth disease given a code name?
| A．To tell her case from other patients． |
| B．To respect her privacy． |
| C．To meet the researchers’demands． |
| D．To ensure her safety． |
From UM’s case，we can know that Urbach-Wieth disease may________.
| A．stop the brain from functioning normally |
| B．1ead to a decrease in calcium deposits |
| C．stop the brain from responding quickly |
| D．1ead to an increase in carbon dioxide |
What will probably happen to UM?

| B．Getting the sense of panic． |

How can I fight laziness?
Lazy people will never amount to anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.
_______ . Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.
Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more proactive approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone. ______
Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations(诱惑) that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness. Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a child to promote responsibility. _____
______ Spouses(配偶) and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately. To fight household laziness, lead by example. Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.
______ enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.
| A．Knowing how to fight laziness is important. |
| B．Laziness sets in when you no longer feel in charge of your own life. |
| C．Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film. |
| D．Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. |
E. Finally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.
F. With strong determination, you will be able to achieve your goal.
G. One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.
