7．Because conflict and disagreements are part of all close relationships，couples need to learn strategies for managing conflict in a healthy and constructive way．Some couples just（51）Dand deny the presence of any conflict in a relationship．（52）D，denying the existence of conflict results in couples（53）C to solve their problems at early（54）C，which can then lead to even greater problems later on．Not surprisingly，expressing anger and disagreement leads to lower marital （婚姻的）satisfaction at the beginning．However，this pattern of behavior（55）Dincreases in marital satisfaction over time．Research suggests that working through conflicts is an important predictor of marital satisfaction．
So，what can you do to manage conflict in your own relationships？First，try to understand the other person's point of view（56）Dput yourself in his or her place．People who are （57）A to what their partner thinks and feels （58）B greater relationship satisfaction．For example，researchers found that among people in dating relationships （59）C marriages，those who can adopt their partner's perspective show more positive emotions，more relationship-enhancing attributes and more constructive responses（60）A conflict．
Second，because conflict and disagreements are an （61）Bpart of close relationships，people need to be able to apologize to their partner for wrongdoing and （62）C forgiveness from their partners for their own acts．Apologies minimize conflict，lead to forgiveness，and serve to restore relationship closeness．In line with this view，spouses（配偶） who are more forgiving show higher mental quality over time．Increasingly，apologizing can even have（63）Bhealth benefits．For example，when people reflect on hurtful （64）Cand grudges（怨恨），they show negative physiological（生理的） effects，including （65）Dheart rate and blood pressure，compared to when they reflect on sympathetic perspective-taking and forgiving．

6．If you want to stand out among people，there are no other choices but hard work．There was once a poor boy running to ask a smart and hard-working building contractor（承包商），who wore fine clothes．"How could I become as（11）Bas you are？"
The contractor thought for a while，and told him a（an）（12）Aabout three diggers．The first digger liked holding a spade（鐵鍬） without doing anything（13）Dsaying that he would become a boss in the future．The second digger alwa ys liked（14）Cabout the long-time work and his low salary．The third digger liked（15）Dworking hard．And he was（16）Adigging without any claims．Several years later，only（17）Cdigger became the boss of a building company．"Do you understand this story，my boy？Just go to work hard．"
The boy looked puzzled．Then the boss continued，"You know，that is also（18）DI managed to get where I am now．I once worked harder and（19）Bmuch better than others．Working harder with higher（20）Bthan others，I was always the first one to work every day and the last one to leave．（21）Cw as exactly my hard work that made myself stand out（22）Call the workers．Soon my day came，and my boss（23）Bme and asked me to be his assistant．After I earned enough money，I also became a boss（24）A．"

5．I've always had strong opinions of how love should be expressed，but others had their own ways of showing care．
What I（36）Cmost about visiting my boyfriend's parents is the loud tick of the clock in the dining room as we（37）Aate our meal．With so little conversation I was quick to（38）Dhis family as cold．When we got into the（39）Cto go home，his father suddenly appeared．（40）B，he began to wash his son's windscreen．I could feel he is a caring man through the glass．
I learned another lesson about love a few years later．My father often（41）Ame early in the morning．"Buy Xerox．It's a good sharp price，"he might say when I answered the phone．No pleasant（42）Cor inquiry about my life，just financial instructions．This manner of his（43）Bme and we often quarreled．But one day，I thought about my father's success in business and realized that his concern for my financial security lay behind his（44）Cmorning calls．The next time he called and told me to buy a stock，I（45）Chim．
When my social style has conflicted with that of my friends，I've often felt（46）A．For example，I always return phone calls（47）Cand regularly contact with my friends．I expect the same from them．I had one friend who rarely called，answering my messages with short e-mails．I rushed to the（48）A：She wasn't a good friend!My anger（49）Cas the holidays approached．But then she came to a gathering I（50）Band handed me a beautiful dress I had fallen in love with when we did some window-shopping the previous month．I was（51）Cat her thoughtfulness，and regretful for how I'd considered her to be（52）D．Clearly I needed to change my expectations of friends．

3．My 14-year-old son，John，and I saw the coat at the same time．It was hanging at a（ an）（36）Aclothing store．The coat had a black velvet collar，delightful tailoring，a Fifth Avenue label （標(biāo)簽）and a（an）（37）Bprice of﹩28．

1．The fact that your friends and peers have tattoos is one of the reasons why many young people get tattoos．Actually，peer pressure，media influence，and personal expression are some of'the common （1）Bfor wearing tattoos today．
The desire to be part of a group，to be （2）Aby one's friends or peers，can have a great influence on what a person does．Sometimes，wearing a tattoo can be a sign that you belong to a certain（3）D．（kiangs often us special clothes and tattoos to（4）Btheir particular group． For example，in one gang all the （5）D may wear green army jackets and have large"Xs"tattooed on their arms．It is not only gangs that have this type of（6）C"uniform"． When a young person's fronds arc all wearing tattoos，that person is likely to do the （7）Cthing．

18．假定英語課上老師要求同桌之間交換修改作文，請你修改你同桌寫的以下作文．文中共有10處語言錯誤，每句中最多有兩處．錯誤僅涉及一個單詞的增加、刪除或修改．
增加：在缺詞處加一個漏詞符號（∧），并在其下面寫出該加的詞．
刪除：把多余的詞用斜線（\）劃掉．
修改：在錯的詞下畫一橫線，并在該詞下面寫出修改后的詞．
注意：1．每處錯誤及其修改均僅限一詞；
          2．只允許修改10處，多者（從第11處起）不計分．
I still remembered my first English class at senior high school．My teacher talked in English all through the class，that made it very difficult for me to follow him．It was such different from the lessons I had been taken in junior high school．
In my next English class，he walked up to me if I was reading the text aloud like the other student．After listen for a while，he gave me a big smile and said few encouraging words．His smile lit me up suddenly．Later，I became very actively and volunteered to answer his questions．Thanks to her smile，I became confident in my English classes．

17．Making a public speaking is the thing that most people don't want to do．The reason is that we are all afraid of making mistakes in front of others．But forget it now．Public speaking is easy．It's just a simple talking，and anybody who can talk can speak in public．It is also a learned skill，developed much like other skills．（36）D
Use more facial expression．One psychologist feels that our facial expression is responsible more than anything else for the impression others have of us．In fact，more than 50percent of listeners'impression，he believes，is influenced by the look on your face．（37）G
（38）BIt's natural to be nervous when you appear before an audience．There are only a few known ways to control fear．The first is to admit it，do the thing you fear and it will be the death of fear itself．Another simple aid at the last minute before you begin，is to take a few deep breaths．That will help keep your voice under control．
Polish your voice．Our voice is the main instrument we possess for communicating with people．So buy a tape recorder，practise your speech by speaking it into the microphone then listen to it．（39）C
Strengthen your memory．First，it's necessary to have a burning desire to remember．（40）E Second is concentration．Our success depends greatly on our ability to concentrate．

A．Organize your thoughts．
B．Take away your inner fear．
C．Any kind o£practice will help improve your voice．
D．There are four efficient ways to improve your speech．
E．It's difficult to recall anything without wanting to do so．

16．Hobbies are an important part of life．A great hobby will help you feel relaxed，will allow you to learn more about yourself，and will help you in developing life skills and in learning lessons that will make you live a better life．From painting to reading，there are a large number of hobbies you can take up．If you're choosing a new hobby，the following suggestions can help you：
When looking for a new hobby，you can think about the subjects you like to learn about，or the things you enjoy doing．For example，if you're a woman，you can take up hobbies like cooking，gardening，and more．If you're a man，you can consider hobbies like hunting，fishing，sports，and more．
Are you a good writer，speaker，painter，or an expert at something else？Think hard about it by going over this question．You'll certainly find your passion （激情），and this will guide you to choose a hobby that suits you．
Pay attention to your talks．What do you enjoy talking about or can go on talking about easily？You may ask others about the topics you talk about the most．Your conversations can show a lot about your passion which can be developed into a hobby．
Anyhow，picking a new hobby is a big decision，as this is an activity that you'll spend much time and money on．But remember，it's just a hobby．You can always consider something different if you find that the activity you chose isn't as satisfying as you thought it would be．
