Both sides in the conflict explain what they feel happened to cause the conflict. The person who listens to both sides is calledthe mediator（调解人）.After both sides state what they think happened to cause the conflict, they discuss ways to solve the conflict. They try to e up with a “resolution” that both sides agree to.munication throughout the entire conflict resolution process is always exchanged in a calm manner without anger. Everyone attempts to use good listening and attending skills while people are talking. If voices get too loud or it appears that someone is angry, the mediators roleis to address this and have the people treat each other with respect.After various suggestions are shared in how to mediate the conflict, discussion centers on the best solution. Conflict resolution is used in many environments to help solve disagreements in a peaceful way. This is an example of how conflict resolution works in a school playground setting: Someone says that a student pushed them on the soccer field. The person accused as the “pusher” claims it was an accident. The mediator takes the two people who are upset somewhere in a quieter spot and talk. Each person describes what happened, and the mediator makes the matter clear to everyone by repeating what he heard. The mediator asks for ideas to solve the problem and the two individuals（个体）offer solutions. The individuals discuss the solutions and e to some agreement on the solution.Conflict resolution can work in many settings and it can work with several individuals at once. In any event, it is worth trying to get at the heart of the matter by involving the individuals who have a concern. It encourages them to analyze what really happened, to share their feelings about the conflict, and to worktogether peacefully to solve the problem. Conflict resolution gives those involved a structure（框架）to usewith a mediator to help reach an agreement. That is to say, it allows people to see a workable framework.21. What is the word in the text that means “a solution to the conflict”?A. ResolutionB. DisagreementC. AngryD. Address22. The writer gives the example in the passage in order to A. show the importance of a mediator in daily lifeB. explain how a mediator works in a football matchC. make it clear what the workable steps are in conflict resolutionD. state how conflict resolution is used in different environments23. According to the text, what is the conflict resolution used for?A. for talkingB. for finding a mediatorC. for taking your time.D. for having a framework to solve problems.BTime and money are precious resources that managed well can increase happiness. Many people think that money brings happiness while others think that time raises more happiness. As for me, I think peoplecan get greater happiness if they use $ 40 to save time such as by paying for housework to be done rather than spending the money on material goods.Psychologists say stress over lack of time causes lower happiness and contributes to anxiety. Yet, eventhe very wealthy are often reluctant to pay people to do the jobs they dislike. But people who spend money to buy themselves more free time are happier that is they have higher life satisfaction.Rising ines in many countries has led to a new phenomenon. Many people get stressed over the daily demands on their time. Fewer than a third of individuals spent money to buy themselves time each month. They do things like buying lunches to be delivered to work, paying neighborhood children to runerrands（差事）for them, or paying for cleaning. Some experts say time saving pared with materialpurchases increases happiness by reducing feelings of time stress.In fact money can buy time. And it buys time pretty effectively. One reason is because time, relative to money, tends to be filled with personal meaning. Another reason is that time promotes interpersonal connection. Since both personal meaning and social connection are key to happiness, it makes sense how individuals spend their time.As a result, can we rethink how were using time? If we rethink how we spend time, and be more intentional on how we spend time, that may affect the happiness we feel.24. Psychologists think the stress of lacking time leads to .A. happiness and satisfactionB. worries and tensionC. sadness and painD. illness and loneliness25. The underlined word “reluctant” in paragraph two refers to .A. unwillingB. eagerC. frequentD. happy26. Which one is true according to the passage?A. High ines make people relaxed and happy. B. More and more people learn to save time.C. Peoples attitude to happiness has changed.D. Spending money to buy time bees a new phenomenon due to higher salary.CI owned my own piano pany in my thirties. Once, I received a postcard saying, “Please bring me a new piano for my little granddaughter. It must be red mahogany. I can pay $10 a month with my egg money.” Of course, I could not see a new piano for $10 a month. No finance pany would carry acontract（合同）with payments that small.For months, I ignored them but the postcards were constantly ing to me. Out of curiosity, I looked the old lady up: She lived in a one-room cabin（小屋）in the middle of a cotton field and her littlegranddaughter was barefoot and wearing a feed-sack dress.Finding a red mahogany piano on my little truck, I delivered it to her and told her I would carry the contract myself at $10 a month with no interest, and that would mean 52 payments. I was sure I had just thrown away a new piano. Incredibly, the payments came in, all 52 of them as agreed.Then one day after 20 years, I sat in the Holiday Inn having a drink, I heard the most beautiful piano music behind me. I looked around, and there was a lovely young woman playing a very nice grand piano. I moved to a table beside her. She smiled at me, and when she took a break, she sat down at my table.“Arent you the man who sold my grandma a piano a long time ago?” It didnt ring a bell, so I asked her to explain.She started to tell me, and I suddenly remembered. My Lord, it was her, the little barefoot girl in the feed-sack dress!She told me her name was Elise and since her grandmother couldnt afford to pay for lessons, she had learned to play by listening to the radio. She said she had started to play in church, then in school, and had won many awards and a music scholarship. She had married an lawyer in Memphis and he had bought her that beautiful grand piano she was playing.Something else entered my mind. Elise, I asked, Its a little dark in here. What color is that piano?“Its red mahogany,” she said, “Why?” I couldnt speak.Did she understand the full meaning of the red mahogany? The unbelievable insistence of her grandmother on a red mahogany piano when no one in his right mind would have sold her a piano of any kind? I dont think so.But I did, and my throat tightened.27. The piano pany ignored the old ladys request, for .A. there was no red mahogany piano on sale.B. the pianos were only sold to those who did a deal in personC. the old lady couldnt afford a proper contractD. the red mahogany piano was rather expensive28.

Her husband bought her another red mahogany piano.30. Which of the following can be best chosen as the title?A. A piano sellers storyB. Elises storyC. The red mahogany pianoD.
