25、   Family fights are never pleasant. Whether you are dealing with a loud sister or a stubborn mom or dad, the situation can be bad. At least that’s what we have learned to expect.

What if it could be different? What if family fights and conflicts could be turned into opportunities to become closer? What if problems could be solved with everyone walking away feeling more deeply cared for and loved?

Family fighting is, on one level, about power. Someone is telling someone else what to do. In a short moment, emotions can be brought out and the fight is on. You can go down that old road or you can try something different.

In any fight, you have a need to be listened to and understood. People raise their voices and shout at each other because they’re not being listened to. It’s totally unconscious. You want your mom or dad to listen and understand. But you always seems to forget the person you’re fighting with has the same need to be listened to. So if you can put aside your need for a few minutes, the situation will change quickly. Give the other person some time to express his or her feelings, and you will earn your turn to be listened to.

And while you are listening, you have to listen for the right information. The best way to do this in emotional situations is to forget most of the words because many people can’t express what they are feeling with words alone, especially when they are upset.

But if the situation starts to get out of hand, it would be wise to just calm down and leave the problem until later because many fights happen at the wrong time. The situation will die down quickly, usually in less than 30 seconds. You can either move on to problem solving or reach an agreement to work on it at a better time.

This way, everyone will feel respected and listened to, even when there is conflict. Emotions will be understood and respected, and it will bring your family closer together.

【1】From the first 3 paragraphs, we can know that _______.

A.people had better avoid family fights

B.family members fight to control each other

C.family fights can be changed into something positive

D.when family members fight, it’s worse as they know each other’s weakness

A.satisfy the need to be listened to first

B.make sure that you’re the first to be listened to

C.pay no attention to what others say in emotional situations

D.stop quarrelling when you feel you are giving orders

【3】When the situation gets out of control, it’s best to _______.

A.wait for a suitable moment to speak

B.let the other person express their feelings

C.work on a written agreement first

A proverb is a short, well-known saying that expresses a common truth or belief. Proverbs are popular around the world. Many proverbs give advice about how to live. Some proverbs are hundreds of years old, but they are still used today.

My daughter is very short. She would like to be taller. But I tell her that good things come in small packages, The s【1】 of something is not always important. Some valuable things are very small, like diamonds and other jewels. But I also tell my children that all that glitters is not old. Do not be f【2】by appearances. Something may look valuable, but may not really be valuable. Also, I tell them not to judge a book by its cover. You should not judge something only by its appearance.

Another proverb is that do not bite o【3】 more than you can chew. This means do not try to do more than you are able to do.

Sometimes I tell my children to cooperate to solve a problem. After all, two heads are better than one. Two people working together can get better r【4】, But another proverb says too many cooks spoil the broth. If too many people try to do something. then the job will not be done well.

Some people are pessimist（悲观主义者） they always think about how bad things are or will be，Other people are optimists（乐观主义者） they always look on the bright side. They think things will be all right. Optimists might say that every cloud has a silver lining. They can find something good even in a bad s【5】. other people are both pessimists and optimists. They hope for the best and prepare for the w【6】. It is usually much better to prevent a problem from h【7】than it is to find ways to solve it. So we say an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
