I am a person who can get angry   26 . But after  27 a passage from my English teacher, things have changed  28 . I am studying at a boarding school, so I have to learn  29  how to study well, but how to get on well with others. Some of us are  30  while others are quiet. So it is  31 that people have problems and arguments.

Smiling at others is the easiest way to stop argument. Another way is to think  32 your ideas are right before having an argument. If others’ ideas are really not good, keep and open  33 . Try to forgive（原諒）them. Having a friend is  34 better than having an enemy after all. Also,   35 point out others’ mistakes  36 . If you really want to help them, send a letter  37 . On the other hand, if someone points out your disadvantages, don’t  38 . Just think this is a person who really wants to help you and make friends  39 you. Remember: Forgiving makes life  40 .

For many in the United States, Arab-Americans are an invisible part of the population. Though Arab-Americans as a community have made great contributions to American society in fields from literature to politics to medicine, many Americans know very little about Americans of Arab backgrounds.
Arab history in the United States goes back to the late 1800’s when large numbers of Arab immigrants first began making their journey to a land known simply as “Amreeka”.
Historians generally describe Arab immigration to America in two waves. The first wave took place between 1860 and 1924.The first wave consisted of Lebanese and Syrian, and some Egyptian immigrants. These new immigrants, who were mostly Christian, came to America in search of better opportunities. Even the doomed Titanic, which set sail for America in 1912,had close to a hundred Arab passengers aboard. The majority of Arab-Americans today are descendents of the first wave of immigrants; they are the third or more generation Americans.
The second wave of immigrants followed after World War Ⅱ,caused by political unrest in the Middle East. This second wave of immigrants consists of mainly Arab Muslims（穆斯林）and continues to this day.
Arab-Americans make up 3 million of the population in the United States, according to demographers. And quite different from popular belief, 64 percent of them are American-born. Eighty-two percent of Arab-Americans are US citizens.
Arab-Americans are beyond the national average in both education and income. Education is important among Arab-Americans; 82 percent have high school diplomas, 36 percent have bachelor’s degrees or higher, and 15 percent have graduate degrees. The-median（中位數(shù)的）average income among Arab-Americans is $39,580, which is higher than the US average.
