       注意：每空1個(gè)單詞。請(qǐng)將答案寫在相應(yīng)題號(hào)的橫線上。

       The origin of most conflicts develops as a result of the opinion that each party feels he/she is "right"．This then leads to a heated debate unless one or two things occurs :one person backs down and admits defeat; discussions are sought for conciliation（調(diào)解）．To effectively deal with a conflict, one must begin with a change of heart on the topic．You could both be right, or both be wrong．The most difficult yet most important thing to keep in mind is to be honest and objective（客觀的）The desire to be right at all costs or to avoid admitting being in the wrong is what leads to disappointment and aggressiveness．

       It is necessary to take time to consider the other person's point of view．Thinking about the other person doesn't mean you stop thinking about yourself．However, this puts you in the situation of being able to find an appropriate middle ground．

      In some cases, a compromise is not acceptable．A compromise is often based on give -and-take of each person involved．However, when it comes to fundamentals （like morals and values）, a compromise is actually giving up one's principles．If this is the case, one must be open and honest about one’s principles and explain one's point of view to the fullest．If the argument is strong enough, it could triumph on its own．

       In response to each person's full explanation of his or her point of view, the other person must listen Listening means not only listening to the words being said but also the meaning being intended．Trying to speak louder, fashter and more forcefully than the other person only limits the other’s ability to express his/her message．Name calling, improper gestures, and violence are childish means of self-satisfaction at the expense of the other．

       "If I rest, I rust"——would be an excellent motto for those who are troubled by the slightest bit of idleness．Even the most hard-working person might adopt it with advantage to serve as a reminder that, if one allows his abilities to rest, like the iron in the unused key, they will soon show signs of rust and, eventually, cannot do the work required of them．

       Those who would attain the heights reached and kept by great men must- keep their ability polished by constant use, so that they may unlock the doors of knowledge, the gate that guard the entrances to the professions, to science, art, literature, agriculture—every department of human endeavor．

       Industry keeps the key bright that opens the treasury of achievement．If Hugh Miller, after toiling all day in a quarry, had devoted his evenings to rest and recreation, he would never have become a famous geologist．The celebrated mathematician, Edmund Stone, would never have published a mathematical dictionary, never have found the key to science of mathematics, if he had given his spare moments to idleness, had the little Scotch lad, Ferguson, allowed the busy brain to go to sleep while he tended sheep on the hillside instead of calculating the position of the stars by a string of beads, he would never have become a famous astronomer．

       Labor defeats all—not inconstant, or ill-directed labor; but faithful, persistent, daily effort toward a well-directed purpose．So industry is the price of noble and enduring success．
