We reach out to offer friendship by offering a potential friend caring, listening, talking, sharing, accepting and affirming(肯定). It is true that building a friendship needs time and effort. Yet, nothing can be more important in your life than having truly intimate friends. “Just friends” is a goal which is worth pursuing.Self-disclosure builds friendships.Self-disclosure(自我表露)is usually the first step in establishing a confidant(close friend). And it is scary because of the potential rejection factor. Do it anyway!Start by sharing a few private thoughts and/or feelings with one person you might want for a close friend. If the person is responsive, he/she will usually share a personal thought or two with you.If he/she if not responsive to your self-disclosure, dont think of this as a rejection(拒绝). People may be non-responsive for reasons of their own or simply as a perception of yours. Nevertheless, they can t be rejecting you because they dont even know you yet.Listening and acknowledging builds friendships.Often when your child, lover/partner, or a friend tells you a story or voices a complaint, he/she is just asking for acknowledgment.This does not mean that he/she wants agreements or compliance(服从); it simply indicates a desire to be heard and understood.Try these four steps to acknowledgment.1. Repeat back.2. Dont invalidate.3.Dont try to change.4.Dont try to solve problems.Many conflicts in your personal relationships can be avoided if you will take the time to acknowledge others feelings and points of view.Listening and attending builds friendships.Paying attention to someone is called “attending”. It means that your ears, your eyes, your body and your feelings are all focused on that person at one time. Attending is very important in building any relationships. It includes:1. Being there physically;2. Focusing;3. Eye contact.Looking at and focusing on another person shows that you are “there for him/her.”Talking is a primary building block of friendships.Talking is an integral component of friendship.When a friend talks and reveals ideas or feelings, he/she is expecting shared information in return. When the talk is not equal, the person talking feels as if the listener is uninterested.In fact, the person who is always the hastener is really playing the role of a counselor, not a friend. Anytime you have been talking for more than a minute or two without participation from the person you are talking to, you are lecturing, or putting that person in the role of a counselor.Building Friendships from Causal FriendsBrief introductionGenerally speaking, the transition from acquaintance to friendship occurs (76) .

Security guards have been ordered to go on patrol around the clock,” said a sales person surnamed Zhao, from Ningbo Real Estate Inc Co.Shanghai resident Xu Lingfei, who was on a trip to Ningbo, took her 9-year-old son to walk around the complex on Wednesday.“Chinese people believe in exams and awards and have a strong preference for high performers. Taking children to visit the former dwelling places of celebrities is a way to inspire them to study harder,” Xu said.Something similar happened after Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize for literature in 2012.Tourists started visiting Mos former home in rural Gaomi, Shandong province, in an endless stream starting the day after he won the prize. Some even plucked the radishes planted in front of the house and carted away some bricks.Another site that has become a bigger tourist attraction these days because of Tus success is the Luofu Mountain scenic area in Huizhou, Guangdong province, where Ge Hong, a TCM master of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD 317-340) picked herbs, developed herbal medicines and wrote the classic Manual of Clinical Practice and Emergency Remedies.After winning the Lasker Award in the United States in 2011, Tu said she and her team were inspired by Ges theory to solve the puzzle in getting artemisinin(青蒿素) from the herb Artemisia annual, also known as sweet wormwood.A garden and a monument on Luofu Mountain celebrate Ges dedication. The mountain is home to 3,000 species of plants, including more than 1,200 with medicinal uses.

If you can avoid a 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. Here are the necessary steps to effectively get rid of conflicts at work.Realize that some conflicts are unavoidable at work. On numerous occasions, conflict and disagreement are likely to happen. But when a conflict happens its 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.Handle 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 wasnt said! Everyones waiting for the other to admit hes wrong and gets more unpleasant after the conflict has lasted a while. Its 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 dont 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 theres 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 its 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 its a great way to move forward.TopicHow to 71. _ conflicts at workReasonConflicts wont 72. _ if not dealt with73. _ onhandling conflicts Dont be afraid of conflicts which cart happen in many 74. _ and try to resolve a conflict soon or it will get 75. _Interrupt the waiting game and try to admit your 76. _ actively.

In fact, they move much more quickly than they should according to their size and the laws of physics. Scientists do not completely understand why the speed of these stars is so high. But many believe the reason is that much of the universe is made of something called “dark matter”. Groups of stars called galaxies, such as the Milky Way (银河系), might even be made up of 90 percent dark matter. Dark matteris an unidentified type ofmattermaking up approximately 27% of themass(质量) and energyin theobservable universe.The name refers to the fact that it does not emit or interact withelectromagnetic radiation（电磁辐射）, such as light, and is thus invisible to the entireelectromagnetic spectrum（光谱）.Although dark matter has not been directly observed, its existence and properties are inferred from its gravitational effects, its influence on the universeslarge-scale structure, and its effects in thecosmic(宇宙的) microwave background. Dark matter is also considered to be connected with weight. How much something weighs depends on where it is. The same object weighs only half as much on Mars as it does on Earth and almost three times as much on Jupiter (木星). So scientists prefer to talk about the mass of something rather than how much it weighs, because mass does not change. They can work out the mass of galaxies by measuring the distance between them and the speed they move at. Recently, Jorge Pearrubia, a senior academic at Edinburgh University, UK, and his team discovered something interesting: The mass of the Milky Way is only half as much as the mass of another nearby galaxy, Andromeda. This seems strange, and dark matter may explain why. Finding out more about dark matter could help us understand how the universe began, but this is not easy. Lots of scientists with different types of expert knowledge are working on the problem. We cant see dark matter, for its very difficult to measure and we cant find out its mass. Unlike stars, dark matter doesnt produce or reflect light. But we can make a good guess that it is there because of the way things move and the way light bends. Experts now think dark matter may be very different from the matter that we find on Earth. There may also be five times as much dark matter in the universe as ordinary matter. Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky first gave dark matter its name in the 1930s, and the dark matter hypothesis（假设） plays a central role in current modeling of cosmicstructure formation, galaxy formation and evolutionas well as in explanations of thecosmic microwave background. Researchers have been looking for it ever since. New ways of finding dark matter will still be needed. Today, advanced technology is collecting more and more information but this technology cannot tell us everything. Looking into dark matter may even mean we will need to start questioning the way we look at the universe, including the ideas of Albert Einstein.

When we are young, it is important to us to be accepted by others. To do this, we will often adopt the views and interests of the others rather than develop our own. Over time, however, we have the opportunity to learn to accept ourselves. People who have done this are confident in their true abilities; they do not feel the need to impress other people. They are concerned with whether their actions produce worthwhile results rather than with how they are seen by others. Less confident people constantly agree with everything others suggest, for fear of having their own ideas rejected. Defensive people are also usually unconfident; in an attempt to hide their unconfidence, they blame others. Confident people do not give up when faced with a difficult situation; they say “I can” rather than “I cant.” Knowing that each day is an opportunity to use their talents to acquire good health, good friendships, and great happiness, they always put their best foot forward. Gradually they can appreciate the differences between themselves and other people. Recognizing the details that we cannot change about ourselves helps us grow personally, so why waste energy complaining about being short? Instead of focusing on personal characteristics we are not satisfied with, we ought to focus more on what we are good at. Such expressions as “Love yourself” and “Be true to your own self” are about self-acceptance, as well as honesty and morality. We should consider them to be good advice, and treat them as signposts showing the way to happiness within.TopicWe should learn to accept ourselves as well as find (71) by others.Benefits of accepting ourselves We are (72) in our true abilities and our lives. We are less likely to give up when (73) difficult situations. We are able to (74) good health, good friendships, and great happiness. We are provided with opportunities for personal growth . (75) on accepting ourselves We are concerned with (76) results rather than others views of ourselves. We neednt fear that our own ideas are rejected, nor can we (77) others. We can have a gradual (78) of the differences between ourselves and others. We focus more on our (79) rather than unchangeable personal characteristics we are not satisfied with.ConclusionWe are to love ourselves and make our way to (80) within.六 江苏省启东中学2015-2016学年度第一学期期终考试第六部分 任务型阅读（共10个小题，每小题1分，满分10分）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。每个空格只填一个单词。The GREATEST JourneyLast week I had lunch with a high-ranking business woman for a fortune 500 company. I asked her what tips she would give to someone early in their career. Without hesitation she jumped right into four keys to her professional climb:Know your business. Never get satisfaction with your industry or your position. In most cases, the knowledge you hold now is not good enough to stand the test of time. Thus, you must keep working to stay on top of whats new and whats coming down the pipeline. This is what really counts, especially early in a professional career
