first of all, students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. a report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult (侮辱) . for example, a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults, which in turn can lead to violence. the problem isnt in the sandwich, but in the way students deal with the conflict. once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable, they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution (解决) : stay calm. once the student feels calmer, he or she should choose words that will calm the other person down as well. rude words, name- calling, and accusations only add fuel to the emotional fire. on the other hand, soft words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control. after both sides have calmed down, they can use another key strategy (策略) for conflict resolution: listening. listening allows the two sides to understand each other. one person should describe his or her side, and the other person should listen without interrupting. afterward, the listener can ask non- threatening questions to clarify the speakers position. then the two people should change roles. finally, students need to consider what they are hearing. this doesnt mean trying to figure out whats wrong with the other person. it means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish. for example, a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things. students need to ask themselves questions such as these: how did this start? what do i really want? what am i afraid of? as the issue becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomes smaller. even if it doesnt, careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution. there will always be conflict in schools, but that doesnt mean there needs to be violence. after students in atlanta started a conflict resolution program, according to educators for social responsibility, “64 percent of the teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom; 75 percent of the teachers reported an increase in student cooperation; and 92 percent of the students felt better about themselves”. learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends, teachers, parents, bosses, and coworkers. in that way, conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country. 1. this article is mainly about.a. the lives of school childrenb. the cause of arguments in schoolsc. how to analyze youth violenced. how to deal with school conflicts2. from paragraph 2 we can learn that.a. violence is more likely to occur at lunchtime b. a small conflict can lead to violencec. students tend to lose their temper easilyd. the eating habit of a student is often the cause of a fight3. why do students need to ask themselves the questions stated in paragraph 5?

follow your passion. this piece of advice provides the foundation for modern thinking on career satisfaction. but this can be a problem.ive spent the past several years researching and writing about the different strategies we use to seek happiness in our work. it became clear early in the process that the suggestion to ” follow your passion was flawed, for it lacks scientific evidence. however, it doesnt mean you should abandon the goal of feeling passionate about your work. the reality emphasizes that things are quite complicated.passion is earned. different people are looking for different things in their work, but generally, people with satisfying careers enjoy some combination of the following features: autonomy，respect，competence，creativity，and a sense of impact. in other words，if you want to feel passionate about your livelihood，dont seek the perfect job，but seek to get more of these features in the job you already have.passion is elusive (难捉摸的）.many people develop the rare and valuable skills leading to passion , but still end up unhappy in their work. the problem is that the features leading you to love your work are more likely to be useful to you than your organization. as you become increasingly valuable”，for example, your boss might push you toward traditional promotions that come with more pay and more responsibility, as this is what is most useful to your company. however, you might find more passion by applying your value to gain autonomy in your schedule or project selection.passion is dangerous. ive watched too many of my peers fall into anxiety and chronic job-hoppirig due to the follow your passion” advice. the issue is expectations. if you believe we all have a pre-existing passion，and that matching it to a job will lead to instant workplace happiness,reality will always pale in comparison.work is hard. not every day is fun. if youre seeking a dream job, youll end up frustrated, again and again. dont set out to discover passion. instead, set out to develop it. this path might be longer and more complicated than what most cheerful career guides might advocate，but its a path much more likely to lead you somewhere worth going.67. people satisfied with their careers are _.a. autonomous and passionateb. creative and competentc. respectable and sensitived. creative and passionate68. what is the authors advice on achieving career satisfaction?a. developing passion for what one is doing.b. matching the pre-existing passion to ones work.c. figuring out early what one will do in the future.d. discovering skills that lead to interesting careers.69. the underlined sentence in para. 5 probably means that _.a. it is not easy to match our passion with our jobsb. we shouldnt think everyone has a pre-existing passionc. high expectations of passion in jobs bring disappointmentd. workplace happiness does not require a pre-existing passion70. whats the authors attitude towards the advice of “following your passion”？a. ambiguous. b. supportive.c. cautious.d. disapproving.【参考答案】1. 67-70 bacd 阅读理解-dare you a team person? are you at your best as part of a small, tightly united group of dedicated workers? if so, the future may hold more for you than you think.high technology, some predicted, would make team work a thing of the past. thats happening in those areas of business and data processing where one person and a computer can replace a team of workers.but, elsewhere, teamwork is very much alive. high technology has led to a new type of teamwork in a number of fields, including advertising, scientific research, engineering design, architecture and ocean exploration. through computer networking, scientists, engineers and technicians at different locations-often thousands of miles apart-can work on the same project at once. they can exchange ideas, try out different designs and test their results.examples? an engineering team can now design and try out a robot system, a new manufacturing process, or an entire factory before it is built. an architectural team can do the same with a building or a bridge. a medical team can simulate (模拟) a dangerous operation before performing it on a patient.of course, computerassisted team effort doesnt end with investigation and simulation. it now usually continues into actual design, manufacturing and testing. “computeraided design (cad) and computeraided manufacture (cam) are breaking down barriers between traditional design and manufacturing functions,” explains dr. prakash rao, an engineering manager at general electric. “interdisciplinary teams and engineers follow a product from concept to production. everything is interconnected like a network.”sometimes a computeraided effort can extend beyond production. a team that produces robots may use them to explore space and ocean depth. for hightechnology team work, the future seems limitless.66. the underlined part “hold more” most probably means to .a. maintain more chances b. give more rights c. make more regulations d. store more information67. according to the passage, the writer believes that .a. teamwork requires more use of computers than that of human beingsb. teamwork will be completely replaced by computersc. the concept of teamwork is still alive and no longer the same as the pastd. high technol
