23、 Arthur Phillip High School, located in Parramatta, New South Wales (NSW), Australia, will be NSW’s first public high-rise high school. When it opens, the school will be different from anything else we’ve got across the system.
Students will eat lunch in courtyards overlooking city rooftops, before continuing their lessons in sound-proofed music rooms, science labs or atriums ( 中 庭 ) with eight metre-high ceilings. The specialty rooms, such as science labs, will be on the top floors. There will be large lifts, but students will be encouraged to use the stairs. There will be a gym, a play ground and play space on each floor.
The building will be run more like an office block than a traditional school, with a plant room used for the operation of the sprinklers(洒水装置), air conditioning and elevator systems. In addition, people will be seen cleaning the windows while students are studying.
“We’re going to have to get kids used to that,” said Sylvia Corish, an executive director of school performance for the NSW Department of Education. “That’s going to be a unique experience.”
“This is a very different concept,” said the chief executive of School Infrastructure NSW, Anthony Manning. “While it has been challenging at times, the end product is going to be really amazing and impressive.”
“I am very surprised and happy to see how creative this learning space will be for students in the Parramatta region for years to come,” Education Minister Sarah Mitchell said.
The Herald visited the new high school, as construction of the ambitious project enters its final phase and students at the original school across the road prepare to begin testing its state-of-the-art facilities. In the next few months, students and teachers will visit the school to help ensure a smooth transition (过渡). “It will be a matter of testing how people can move around the building,” Mr Manning said.

D.A Unique Experience for High School Students
24、When we hurt someone, we may be unwilling to acknowledge our fault and make an apology because it makes us feel guilty, conflicts with our beliefs about being a good person, or means accepting that we’re imperfect human beings. We may want to excuse our behavior and blame the other person, minimizing our role in hurting him or her.
Researchers carried out a study to find out how we can be better at apologizing. In the study, researchers asked 120 college students to recall a time when they’d hurt someone else and the conflict remained unresolved. Then, participants were randomly assigned to either a 15-minute guided mindfulness exercise focusing on their breath and having people think in the present moment or a guided mind-wandering exercise, where they were encouraged to let their minds wander.
Afterward, they were asked to report how much they felt like apologizing to the person versus not apologizing or offering excuses for their behavior. Then, they were asked to write a note to the person, without instructions to apologize or not. In analyzing the notes, the researchers found that participants who had practiced mindfulness were more likely to write statements like “I’m sorry” or “I apologize” in their notes than those who had mind-wandered.
“One way in which we can foster apologies is by having people think in the present moment,” lead author Sana Rizvi says. “We can teach individuals to be mindful of their present states, and it can be done in about 15 minutes.”
Why might this be the case? Rizvi isn’t sure, as there has been very little research on how being more mindful might affect us when we hurt others. Prior research has found that being more mindful helps victims of wrong doing to be more forgiving, and it seems to improve relationships generally.
Mindfulness makes us feel less defensive and, therefore, helps us consider the importance of the other person in the conflict more. It’s encouraging that teaching simple mindfulness techniques (like focused breathing) could increase apologies, especially in places that are often filled with interpersonal conflicts, like workplaces or other occasions. It could help improve interpersonal interactions and repair relationships helping people move more easily from a place of conflict to understanding and forgiveness.
【1】What does the author want to convey in Paragraph 1?
A.It is difficult for us to apologize.

【2】What can we know about the participants in the study?
A.They were bad at handling conflicts.
B.They were encouraged to discuss their trouble.
C.They did something hurtful to others in the past.
D.They received mindfulness training before the study.
【3】What conclusion did the researchers draw from the study?
A.Mind-wandering tended to increase conflicts.
B.Mindfulness could help people apologize more.
C.College students are more likely to behave responsibly.
D.College students seem to have better emotional control.
【4】What does the author think of practicing mindfulness in workplaces?
A.It is challenging to carry out.
B.It takes time to prove its effect.
C.It solves conflicts once and for all
D.It helps achieve better relationships.
