- 试题详情及答案解析
- Alex is a very special boy who really likes trees. He always feels completely at home in nature and loves going camping in the forest. Alex has a little sister called Julia, who likes playing with dolls. Julia also likes being outdoors, and most of all, she loves going on trips to the snowy mountains with her parents.
One day, their parents decided to take them on holiday and let them choose between camping in the forest and going skiing in the snow. Alex quickly shouted out, “Camping in the forest!” while Julia cried, “Snow! Snow! Snow!” Julia added that the year before they had gone camping and hadn’t gone skiing.
So Alex’s mum and dad asked him, “What do you think is the fairest thing to do?” And Alex shouted, “Camping! Camping! Camping!” His parents insisted he think more about it. This made Alex a little unhappy.
Hearing this, Julia said to her brother, “Alex, we could go to the mountains to see the snow, but make sure it’s somewhere with a forest. What about that?”
The idea seemed good for Alex and he understood that he had to make compromises to get what he had wanted. And in the end, the whole family went to a spot in the mountains where there was a forest.

- 答案：One possible version:
Faced with two choices: camping in the forest or going skiing in the snow, Alex did not insist on his wish stubbornly but decided on the win-win compromise: going to the mountains with a forest.
Compromise is a basic process in which both parties give up something that they want in order to get something else they want more. In Alex and Julia’s situation, neither of them could get all of what they really want if they would insist on their own wish. In the end, they both gave up something unimportant and reached an agreement that was acceptable to both.
Therefore, in most cases, compromise is the best way for people to work out their differences. When people compromise, with each side losing a little in order to reach a satisfactory agreement, both sides can continue to live in harmony. However, compromise can work only when the issues under discussion are not that important. Compromise does not work when there is an actual difference from strongly held principles or ideas.
I once wanted something very cool in a souvenir shop, but my mother refused to pay for me because she thought it cost too much for a student. Finally, I decided on a much less expensive one and promised to work hard at my subjects, and my mother gave me the money for it. Life is always full of disagreements, and sometimes we should learn to compromise to get through them.
