任务型读写

阅读下列短文，根据所读内容在文章后的表格中填入恰当的单词。

注意：表格中每个空格中只填入一个单词。

　　A conflict at work is common．If you can avoid 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．Let's see what you can do．

　　★Be aware of the fact 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．

　　★Deal with 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 disappear 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．

　　Researchers think people in our dreams can tell us something about ourselves．If the person in the dream was yelling(叫喊), for example, maybe you are angry．　　5

　　Hospital emergency rooms treat injured fingers all the time．Without treatment, a bad cut can lead to permanent damage．But how should a person know when a bleeding cut is serious enough to require medical attention?

　　Here are some tips from Dr．Martin Brown, chairman of the department of emergency at Inova Alexandria Hospital in Virginia．

　　1．Laceration(裂口)

　　The medical term for a cut or tear in the skin is a laceration．　　1　　 A long cut on a finger can likely be treated without a visit to a doctor if the wound is not very deep．However, if you have a short but deep laceration, you will need professional attention,

　　2．Fingertips cut off

　　Some injuries, like a fingertip that gets cut off, might even need surgery to repair．　　2　　 More often, cutting down the bone is what is done because reattaching a fingertip is often not successful．

　　3．Bleeding

　　　　3　　 Small cuts usually produce what is known as venous(静脉的)bleeding．This means the blood flows steadily from the injury．The bleeding will often stop when pressure is put on the wound．In most cases holding direct pressure with a clean cloth for four to five minutes would do．But if a cut appears to be pumping blood out with some force, this may be a sign of arterial(动脉的)bleeding．　　4_____

　　Finally, always keep this in mind：even a cut that does not require medical attention must be kept clean to prevent infection．Small cuts should be cleaned gently with clean water．　　5　　 Then cover it with a clean, dry bandage．

A．How a wound bleeds can be a sign of how serious it is．

B．That requires a specialist to either cut down the bone or reattach the fingertip．

C．This kind of injury should be treated by a medical professional as soon as possible

D．The first signs of this disease include difficulty opening the mouth．

E．Use a washcloth to clean the area if the wound is dirty．

F．With a cut finger, holding the hand above the heart can reduce the loss of blood．

G．The length is usually not as important as the depth．

　　Remember one sentence：the best things in nature are free．If you have the eyes to find fun around you, though you have no money, you can have a great time!

　　　　2　　 Stroll through busy streets and see what everybody else is doing．You will probably see people from all over the world; you will certainly see people of every age, size, and shape, and you will get a free fashion show, too．

　　Check the listings in your neighborhood newspaper．Local colleges or schools often welcome the public to hear an interesting speech or a good debate．　　3　　 Be sure to check commercial advertisements in the newspapers, too．A flea market can provide hours of pleasant browsing．Perhaps you can find a free cooking or crafts demonstration in a department store．

　　　　4　　 It is always more pleasant not to have people in front of you in a museum or at a zoo．You may save some money, too, for these places often set aside one or two free admission days at slow times．
