Conflict,like stress,is a natural phenomenon when people interact.Conflict in some form. is always present;however,it is not always negative.Conflict can be positive,for example,when you and your colleagues try to select the best pos.sible alternative to a problem.However, much more attention is given to the negative aspects of conflict. Conflict occurs when we fear the unknown.This can be very simple:someone says some-thing in a tone of voice different from our expectations,which raises questions in our mind as to what the real meaning might be.Of course conflict can,and does,occur in much more serious circumstances.Your ability to detect and understand conflict will place you in a better position to control the situation.Conflict is often categorized in three stages.Stage one is the day-to-day irritations that require minimal coping strategies.Stage one conflict is real but low in intensity.The inten-sity can increase if irritations increase and no solution iS found. Stage two is reached when the parties become competitive.Each person protects his serf-interest and fears loss of face.The win-lose attitude becomes integrated with the problem.Stage three is reached when the objective changes from wanting to win toward wanting to hurt the other party.This stage can be explosive because other people are drawn into the con-flict and sides are chosen.Problem solving is no longer a realistic method of resolution. By understanding the three stages of conflict,it will be easier for you to handle the day-to-day situations to which you are exposed.You will also be able to detect potential conflict be-tween others in which you do not want to get involved.
Conflict is__________ .
A.paid attention to because it is negative
B.only positive when occurring between colleagues
C.universally present in human interactions
D.similar to stress in every aspect

“CuIture shock”occurS as result of total immersion in a new culture.It happens to“peo-Dle who haye been suddenly transplanted abroad.”Newcomers may be anxious because they do not speak the language,know the customs,or understand people’s behavior. in daily life.The visitor finds that“yes may not always mean“yes”,that friendliness does not necessarily mean friendship,or that statements that appear to be serious are really intended as jokes.The for-eigner may be unsure as to when to shake hands,when to start conversations,or how to approach a stmnger.The notion of“culture shock”helps explain feelings of bewilderment(困惑)and disorientation.Language problems do not account for all the frustrations(挫败)that people feel.When one is deprived of everything that was once familiar,such as understanding a transportation system,knowing how to register for university classes,Ot knowing how to make friends,difficulties in coping with the new society may arise. “…when an individual enters a strange cuhure,he or she is like fish out of water.”New-comers feel at times that they do not belong to and feel alienated from the native members of thecuhure.When this happens visitors may want t0·reject everything about the new environment and may glorify and exaggerate(夸大)the positive aspects of their own culture.Conversely visitors may scorn their native country by rejecting its values and instead choosing to identify with(if only temporarily)the value of the new country.This may occur as an attempt to over—identify with the new culture in order to be accepted by the people in it.
The expression“he or she is like fish out of water”suggests__________ .
A.people away from their cultures can hardly survive in a new culture
B.a fish can not survive without water
C.people away from their culture experience mental isolation
D.people away from their culture has difficulties in new environment
Snap decisions can be important defense mechanisms; if we are judging whether someone is dangerous, our brains and bodies are hard-wired to react very quickly, within milliseconds. But we need more time to assess other factors. To accurately tell whether someone is sociable, studies show, we need at least a minute, preferably five. It takes a while to judge complex aspects of personality, like neuroticism or open-mindedness.
But snap decisions in reaction to rapid stimuli aren’t exclusive to the interpersonal realm. Psychologists at the University of Toronto found that viewing a fast-food logo for just a few milliseconds primes us to read 20 percent faster, even though reading has little to do with eating. We unconsciously associate fast food with speed and impatience and carry those impulses into whatever else we’re doing, Subjects exposed to fast-food flashes also tend to think a musical piece lasts too long.
Yet we can reverse such influences. If we know we will overreact to consumer products or housing options when we see a happy face (one reason good sales representatives and real estate agents are always smiling), we can take a moment before buying. If we know female job screeners are more likely to reject attractive female applicants, we can help screeners understand their biases-or hire outside screeners.
John Gottman, the marriage expert, explains that we quickly “thin slice” information reliably only after we ground such snap reactions in “thick sliced” long-term study. When Dr. Gottman really wants to assess whether a couple will stay together, he invites them to his island retreat for a muck longer evaluation; two days, not two seconds.
Our ability to mute our hard-wired reactions by pausing is what differentiates us from animals: doge can think about the future only intermittently or for a few minutes. But historically we have spent about 12 percent of our days contemplating the longer term. Although technology might change the way we react, it hasn’t changed our nature. We still have the imaginative capacity to rise above temptation and reverse the high-speed trend.
The time needed in making decisions may____ .
A.vary according to the urgency of the situation
B.prove the complexity of our brain reaction
C.depend on the importance of the assessment
D.predetermine the accuracy of our judgment
John Gottman says that reliable snap reaction are based on____ .
A.critical assessment
B.“thin sliced”study
C.sensible explanation
D.adequate information
The author’s attitude toward reversing the high-speed trend is____ .A.tolerant
B.uncertain
C.optimistic
D.doubtful
Our reaction to a fast-food logo shows that snao decisions____ .A.can be associative
B.are not unconscious
C.can be dangerous
D.are not impulsive
To reverse the negative influences of snap decisions,we should____ .A.trust our first impression
B.do as people usually do
C.think before we act

(79) Natural foods, for example, are vegetables, fruit and grain which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic (有机的) matter. In simple terms, this means that the soil has been nourished by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with essential vitamins and minerals. This in itself is a natural process compared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the amount—but not the quality—of foods grown in commercial farming areas.
Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy pastures(牧场). Compare this with what happens in the mass production of poultry: there are farms, for example, where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food, they also lay eggs which lack important' vitamins.
There are other aspects of healthy eating which are now receiving increasing attention from experts on diet. Take, for example, the question of sugar. This is actually a non-essential food ! Although a natural alternative, such as honey, can be used to sweeten food if it is necessary, we can in fact do without it. It is not that sugar is harmful in itself. But it does seem to be addictive: the quantity we use has grown steadily over the last two centuries and in Britain today each person consumes an average of 200 pounds a year! Yet all it does is to provide us with energy, in the form. of calories. There are no vitamins in it, no minerals and no fiber.
(80) It is significant that nowadays fiber is considered to be an important part of a healthy diet. In white bread, for example, the fiber has been removed. But it is present in unrefined flour and of course in vegetables. It is interesting to note that in countries where the national diet contains large quantifies of unrefined flour and vegetables, certain diseases are comparatively rare. Hence the emphasis is placed on the eating of whole meal bread and more vegetables by modem experts on "healthy eating".
People have become more interested in natural foods because ______.
A.they are more health conscious
B.they want to taste all kinds of foods
C.natural foods are more delicious than processed foods
D.they want to return to nature

Many linguists believe that evolution is【64】for our ability to produce and use language. They【65】that our highly evolve brain provides us【66】an innate language ability not found in lower【67】. Proponents of this innateness theory say that our【68】for language is inborn, but that language itself develops gradually,【69】a function of the growth of brain during childhood. Therefore there are critical【70】times for language development.
Current【71】of innateness theory are mixed, however, evidence supporting the existence of some innate abilities is undeniable.【72】, more and more schools are discovering that foreign languages are best taught in【73】grades. Young children often can learn several languages by being【74】to them, while adults have a much harder rime learning another language once the【75】of their first language have become firmly fixed.
【76】some aspects of language are undeniably innate, language does not develop automatically in a vacuum. Children who have been【77】from other human beings don't possess language. This demonstrates that【78】with other human beings is necessary for proper language development. Some linguists that this is even more basic to human language【79】than any innate capabilities. These theorists view language as imitative, learned behavior.【80】, children learn language from their parents by imitating them. Parents gradually shape their child's language skills by positively reinforcing precise imitations and negatively reinforcing imprecise ones.
