     You can't avoid a conflict at work. If you can avoid a conflict, it means you will win what you want
regardless of what the other person wants. Since the potential issue has not been removed, it will simply
reappear later. Here are the necessary steps to effectively get rid of conflicts at work.
     ★ Realize that some conflicts are unavoidable at work. On numerous occasions, conflict and disagreement are likely to happen. But when a conflict happens it’s not the end of the world. On the contrary,
it can be the beginning of an interesting learning process. Conflicts mean that people care enough to
disagree strongly. The trick is not to allow the conflict to go on forever.
     ★ Handle conflicts sooner rather than later. Solve a conflict when it starts, as it only gets worse with
time going by. Conflicts at work arise not from something that was said, but from something that wasn't
said! Everyone's waiting for the other to admit he's wrong and gets more unpleasant after the conflict has
lasted a while. It's essential to interrupt the "waiting game" before it gets to that point.
     ★ Ask nicely. If somebody has done something that made you angry, or if you don't understand their
viewpoint or actions, simply asking nicely about it can make a world of difference.  Never assume that
people do what they do to annoy or hurt you. Sometimes there's a good reason why that person does
what he or she does, and a potential conflict disappears right there. Do remember to make an inquiry,
not an accusation of any sort.
     ★ Appreciate. Praise the other part in the conflict. Tell them why it's worth it to you to solve the
conflict. This can be difficult as few people find it easy to praise and appreciate a person they disagree
strongly with, but it's a great way to move forward.

                           Topic How to 1.________ conflicts at work
                           Reason Conflicts won't 2.________if not dealt with
                       3.________
                        on handling
                        conflicts Don't be afraid of conflicts which can happen in many
4.________and try to resolve a conflict soon or it will get
5.______.
Interrupt the "waiting game" and try to admit 
your 6.________actively.
Don't imagine people do something to make
you 7.________ on purpose.
Remember not to 8.________others,
but ask them nicely about what they do,
which may make a difference. 
Try to appreciate the other part in the conflict
although it is 9.________to do so.
                    10.________ As long as you learn to do with conflicts, you'll work in joy.

      China's "Little People's Kingdom"is a theme park,where little people dance and sing in fairytale
costumes,drawing both curious groups and criticism.The theme park,near Kunming City in Yunnan
Province,employs 108 dwarfs from across the country,who gather on an artificial hillside twice a day to
dance and sing for tourists.And all pretend to live in a tiny hilltop village.
     The guests can watch shows like comedies,group dance and acrobatics.The show's centerpiece,a
funny performance of Swan Lake,sees performers dressed in special pink costumes and pretending to be
little swans."The first time I performed it (Swan Lake)I felt a bit embarrassed.I had never worn a skirt like that before.But later,once I got used to it,I found I could do it very well,"said Chen Ruan,21,from Hunan

month,around twice the salary of a high school graduate.

     The Channel is the name given to the stretch(伸展) of water which separates England and France.
Ferries(轮渡) operate all year round to carry people across the Channel, and they are busy most of the
year. January is the only quiet month nowadays. As well as summer holiday-makers, there are day trippers and coach traffic, not to mention lorries and other commercial vehicles. Some ferries carry cars and their
passengers, while others also connect train passengers with the continental rail network.
     The biggest hazard for the ferry is the wind. The crew listens to BBC weather reports four times a day. Or they sometimes get gale(wind) warnings from local radio station.
     Crossing the Channel by ferry is a bit like trying to cross Oxford Street on a busy afternoon, according to one ferryboat captain. The ferries from Folkstone and Dover to Calais and Boulogne have to cross the main flow of traffic. This consists of ships traveling through the Channel to and from Northern Europe.
There may be four hundred ships making the journey at any one time, and they all pass through a "choke
point" which is only fifteen miles (twenty-five kilometers) wide. The cross-channel ferries have to sail right
through the middle of all this traffic.
1. The passage is mainly concerned with _____.
A. cross-channel ferries
B. the weather on the Channel
C. the English Channel
D. what crossing the Channel by ferry is like
2. You may find the Channel not so busy on __________.
A. May 1st
B. February 25th
C. January 2nd
D. September 5th
3. The word "hazard" is closest in meaning to ________.
A. friend
B. danger
C. enemy
D. safety
4. We can infer(推断) from the passage that _______.
A. if there is a gale warning from the BBC, the ferries will stop operating.
B. the traffic on the Channel is very busy only in winter
C. ferries are busiest in the afternoon
D. the crew of the ferry listens to the weather reports four times a day
5. Where does this passage most probably appear?
A. In a dictionary.
B. In a novel.
C. In a transportation magazine.
D. In a geography textbook.

     The gray-haired lady can't wait to leave the building to search for her dad. Unless watched, she will
walk in the streets in an effort to find her father, who died 30 years ago.
     Not all cases of Alzheimer's disease look like this, but Alzheimer's is a serious disease that is said to
be the fourth or fifth leading cause of death for people over age 75.
     It is said that about three percent of the U.S. population over age 65 have Alzheimer's. In the early
stages, people may exhibit short term memory loss. Some may experience changes in personality, easy
to be angry. As the disease progresses, patients might lose the ability to move and may be unable to
speak or move at all. This progressive disease generally lasts 8 to 10 years before death occurs.
      While no one is certain what causes these changes in the brain's nerve fibers (神经纤维), their effect
is certain. Alzheimer's destroys not only the patients, but also spouses (配偶), friends and families.
     What should you do if you notice progressive memory loss in yourself or a loved one? Have the
person examined by a doctor who is a specialist in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Though many
reasons other than Alzheimer's disease may cause memory loss, its early diagnosis (诊断) and treatment
may delay some of the most serious effects.
     What feeling will you likely experience should a loved one suffer from Alzheimer's disease? A person
will often go through the various stages of sadness, shock, anger, and so on. If the spouse develops the
disease, you may experience hurt and disappointment when he or she doesn't remember you are married.
     Life for the Alzheimer's patients and their loved ones will never be the same as the disease progresses, bringing a deep sorrow, loss and even anger towards God. No matter what feelings are present, facing
them honestly will serve one better than burying them.

1. What can be inferred from the passage about the gray-haired lady?

A. She has been living with her father.
B. She was sad about the death of her father.
C. She can't search for her father without being watched.
D. She suffers from Alzheimer's disease.

2. When people suffer from Alzheimer's disease, ________ .

A. their families and friends will suffer from the same disease
B. their families and friends will experience mental sufferings
C. they will certainly die in 8 to 10 years
D. they will forget everybody but their spouses

3. Memory loss occurs ________.

A. from Alzheimer's disease and nothing else
B. from sadness, shock, anger, and so on
C. for a number of reasons
D. with changes in personality

4. From the passage we know that ______ .

A. early treatment may stop Alzheimer's disease occurring
B. it is still unknown what causes the changes in the brain's nerve fibers
C. nerve fibers in the brain will cause Alzheimer's disease
D. when one suffers from Alzheimer's disease, he will be buried'

      An argument is appearing in Los Angeles over whether a newspaper should publish teachers' names
along with an analysis of how well they do in raising their students' standardized test scores.
Some people argue that transparency(透明) should exist at all costs, but others hold that it's unfair to
label individual teachers using possibly flawed(有瑕疵的) statistics. Some worry that anger over the
forthcoming Los Angeles Times article will make people oppose so-called "value added" analysis of
teacher performance, which is the method the Times uses.
      "This incident with the L.A. Times is where the advocates(提倡者) for value-added are getting a bit
ahead of themselves," says Douglas Harris, an education professor. "Teachers are already feeling
under the gun on this kind of thing
."
     "
Value-added data" is the latest trend in teacher responsibility: the idea that a student's gain from the
previous year's test ? as opposed to his or her overall performance ? can be measured and tied to the
latest teacher.
     "There are too many variables(变量) in the testing process," says A.J. Duffy. But he says he opposes
using value-added data in evaluations at all, although he acknowledges it could be a useful tool to give
teachers feedback. "I believe in a system that emphasizes the whole student, not just standardized tests,"
he says.
     Proponents(支持者) of value-added say that's a valid criticism, agreeing that no one should expect
that student gains on a standardized test could capture the creativity or broader enrichment that goes on
in many teachers' classrooms. The District of Columbia which attracted argument for its decision to fire
teachers based in part on value-added data, uses that data for 50 percent of the evaluation, relying on
other measures such as classroom observation for the rest. "No one is suggesting using it as a single
measure of performance," says Paige Kowalski.
     Barnett Berry, a professor, is even more critical of it. Value-added data can be useful, he and others
say, but it's important to acknowledge its limitations. It doesn't take into account, for instance, constant
student absence and learning gains due to summer school, after-school programs, or supplemental
teachers, such as reading specialists.

1. The tone of the underlined sentence is that of _______.

A. praise      
B. warning    
C. anger  
D. threat

2. In the opinion of Mr. Duffy, teachers should be judged by _______.

A. the value-added data of the times
B. students' scores of standardized tests
C. the whole development of a student
D. the feedback of students and parents

3. The underlined word "it" in Para. 6 refers to _______.

A. the creativity or broader enrichment
B. a standardized test
C. classroom observation
D. value-added data

4. What's the passage mainly about?

A. How well teachers can do in raising students' scores
B. Whether teachers should be linked to student's scores
C. Who opposes value-added analysis of teacher performance.
D. Why the Los Angeles Times plans to publish names of teachers.

     Sweetest Day is celebrated on the third Saturday in October as a day to make someone happy. It is
an occasion(时候)which offers all of us an opportunity to remember not only the sick, the aged, and
children who have lost their parents, but also friends, workmates, relatives and neighbors whose
helpfulness and kindness we have enjoyed.
     Over 60 years ago, when a Cleveland man noticed that some people, such as children who lost their
parents and patients who lay in bed, too often felt forgotten and neglected, he developed in his mind the
idea of showing them that they were remembered. He did this by giving them small gifts. With the help of
his friends and neighbors, he gave those people small gifts on a Saturday in October. During the years that followed, other Clevelanders began to take part in the celebration, which came to be called "Sweetest
Day". Over time, the Sweetest Day idea of spreading cheer to the poor, the sick and children who had lost their parents was broadened to include everyone, and became an occasion for remembering others with a kind act or a small gift. Soon the idea spread to other cities all over the USA.
     Sweetest Day is not based on any single group's religious beliefs or on a family relationship. It is a
reminder that a thoughtful word or deed enriches life and gives it meaning.
     Because for many people remembering takes the form of gift giving, Sweetest Day offers us the
opportunity to show others that we care, in a positive way.
1. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Sweetest Day is a day to make others happy.
B. Sweetest Day is just an occasion to care about disabled people.
C. Sweetest Day is an occasion for lovers to express love.
D. Sweetest Day is celebrated on the third Sunday in October.
2. What is Cleveland?
A. An island. B. A country.    
C. A village in England.    
D. A city in America.
3. What do most people usually do to show their care to others according to the passage?
A. They give money.
B. They give gifts.
C. They send regards.    
D. They offer help.
