In a work context, more conflicts come from structural relationships and personal differences than communication itself.Organizations create job descriptions, specialized work groups, and authority relationships, all with the intent to improve coordination(协调). But in doing so, they separate people and create the potential for conflicts. For instance, departments within organizations have diverse goals. Purchasing is concerned with the timely acquisition of materials and supplies at low prices; quality controls attention is focused on improving quality and ensuring that the organizations products meet standardWhen groups within an organization seek diverse ends, there is increased potential for conflicts.Have you ever met people to whom you took an immediate disliking? Most of the opinions they expressed, you disagreed with. Even insignificant characteristics-the way they cocked their head when they talked or smirked when they smiled-annoyed you. Weve all met people like that, and many of us have to work with people like this.Todays organizations are increasingly diverse in terms of age, gender and race. So, not surprisingly, employees differ on the importance they place on general values such as responsibility, equality and ambition. They also differ on job-related values such as the importance of family over work or freedom against authority. These differences often surface in work-related interactions and create significant interpersonal conflicts.The above doesnt mean that communication cant be a source of conflicts. It can. Differing word connotations, insufficient exchange of information, poor listening skills, and the like, create conflicts. But the belief that “we can deal with our differences if we just communicate more” is not necessarily true. The evidence actually shows that the potential for conflicts increases when there is too much communication as well as when theres too little. So when youre trying to manage conflicts, take a thoughtful look at their source. Its more likely that the conflict is coming from work-related requirements, personality differences, or dissimilar values, it is from poor communication. And that might influence the actions you take to resolve the conflict. 1. From Para.2, we know that in an organization, .A. job descriptions can effectively improve cooperation B. different goals of branches may cause disagreementsC. division of labor usually results in harmonious relationshipD. the setting of different departments is to encourage competition2. The writer holds that .A. fewer conflicts will appear if we communicate more B. most people share similar values in the same organizationC. communication is just one of the reasons for most conflictsD. wed better calm down before taking action when in conflict3. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? CP: Central PointP: Point Sp: Sub-point(次要点)C: ConclusionB Text messaging is a surprisingly good way to receive candid responses to sensitive questions, according to a new study to be presented this week at the annual meeting of the American Association for Public Opinion Research. “The preliminary（初步的）results of our study suggest that people are more likely to disclose sensitive information via text messages than in voice interviews,” says Fred Conrad, a psychologist at the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research.“This is sort of surprising,” says Conrad, “since many people thought that texting would decrease the likelihood of disclosing sensitive information because it creates a persistent, visual record of questions and answers that others might see on your phone and in the cloud.”With text, the researchers also found that people were less likely to engage in “satisficing”a survey industry term referring to the common practice of giving good enough, easy answers. “We believe people give more precise answers via texting because theres just not the time pressure in a largely asynchronous（非同步的）mode like text that there is in phone interviews, ” says Conrad. “As a result, respondents are able to take longer to arrive at more accurate answers.”Conrad conducted the study with Michael Schober, a professor of psychology at the New School for Social Research. “Were in the early stages of analyzing our findings,” says Schober. “But so far it seems that texting may reduce some respondents tendency to shade the truth or to present themselves in the best possible light in an interview, even when they know its a human interviewer they are communicating with via text. What we cannot yet be sure of is who is most likely to be disclosed in text. Is it different for frequent texters, or generational, for example? ”For the study, the researchers recruited approximately 600 iPhone-users through Google Ads, offering them iTunes Store rewards to participate in the study. Their goals were to see whether responses to the same questions differed depending on several variables: whether the questions were asked via text or voice, whether a human or a computer asked the questions, and whether the environment, including the presence of other people and the likelihood of multitasking, affected the answers.4. The underlined word “candid” in Para.1 probably means . A. straightforward B. appropriate C. ambiguous D. objective5. We can learn from the passage that . A. people fond of text messaging are more honest B. texting will give away less sensitive informationC. different variables might affect the responses of messagingD. about 600 iPhone users have been awarded iTunes by researchers6. Compared with phone interviews, texting has the strength that people could . A. present their best to the interviewersB. have more time to make a replyC. pay less for sending a messageD. enjoy more freedom of speech7. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Texting Downs Responses B. Texting Exposes IdentityC. Texting Benefits Interviewees D. Texting Ups Truthfulness CWhy doesnt Anybody Copy Apple? Apples products are the envy of the world. They have been spectacularly successful and are widely imitated, if not copied. The minute Apple crystallizes a product, everyone knows how to compete. This idea that the basis of competition is set by Apple and then the race is on to climb the path of improvement is unquestionable. Apple releases a product that defines a category or dramatically changes the structure of an industry and it becomes obvious what needs to be built. But why everyone wants to copy Apples products but nobody wants to copy being Apple?I can think of two reasons. Firstly, Apple is not worth copying because its not successful; secondly, Apple is successful but Apple cannot be copied because its success is a magical process.There is a great deal of evidence for the first hypothesis. The idea of Apple being successful is not something reflected in its stock price. Being valued indeed lower than the average company in the S&P（标准普尔）500 indicates that to whatever degree Apple was successful in the past, its not seen by the vast majority of observers as successful in the future. Why should one bother copying Apple if it results in being punished with a low valuation? You work really hard at innovation and then that innovation becomes commoditized（商品化）very quickly. Why should one bother?When asking innovation practitioners what makes Apple successful, the answers regarding the cause of this success border on the mythical. The climax of this hypothesis is the “chief-sorcerer” theory of success which places one magician, like Steven Jobs, in charge of casting all the right spells(符咒). What about Apples own opinion of what makes it tick? Tim Cook refers to a great team and integration of hardware, software and services as unique Apple advantages. Its a better explanation. Integration is something that can take a long time, but it is possible with great effort. A few companies are starting to make moves in that direction, but efforts are half-hearted. There is no “move the Earth” panic to become an integrated company from Samsung, Google or Microsoft. My own suspicion is that Apple is more aware of what makes it special than it lets out. However, as Tim points out, its not a formula. Its complex, its subtle, but its not magic. Its a process that requires a degree of faith and courage. 8. When a new product of Apple comes out, often it _. A. ruins an industry dramatically B. starts a revolution of an industry C. puts itself in an unbeatable position D. is soon overtaken by imitated products9. According to the passage, other companies dont “copy being Apple” because _.A. Apple is not a successful companyB. its hard to find a powerful magician C. they have no access to relevant resour
