"I won't be cutting this year," my husband Bob said. "Dan, you and John are old enough to measure things. Do it all by yourselves. Think you boys can handle it?
Dan and John seemed to grow six inches in their chairs at the thought of such an amazing responsibility. "We can handle it." Dan promised. "We won't let you down." .
A few days before Christmas. Dan and John rushed in after school. They gathered the tools they'd need and brought them out to the yard .where the tree waited. I was cooking when I heard the happy sounds as the boys carried the tree into the lying room. Then I heard the sound that every mother knows is trouble: dead silence I hurried out to them. The tree was cut too short. John  crossed his arms tight across his chest. His eyes filled with angry tears.
I felt worried The tree was central to our holiday. I didn't want the boys to feel ashamed every tune they looked at it. I couldn't lower the ceiling, and I couldn't raise the floor either. There was no way to undo the damage done. Suddenly, a thought came to my mind, which turned the problem into the solution.  www..com
“We can't make the tree taller." I said. "But we can put it on a higher position"
Dan nodded his head sideways. "We could put it on the coffee table. It just might work! Let's try it!“
When Bob got home and looked at the big tree on top of the coffee table, Dan and John held their breath.
"What a good idea!" he declared "Why didn't I ever think of such a thing?"

They didn't promise that you would live forever. but they gave you a chance to extend your life an extra five to ten years.

Dealing with conflict in the workplace is rarely easy. Hurt feelings and anger can lead to lower employee morale (士气) as well as a loss of productivity and a poor work environment. As a manager. you should find some ways yourself to solve the conflict. The goal is to build a team-centered workforce.
You can use role-reversal (角色转换) methods to help each employee understand how the other feels. This model works best when there are only two parties involved. You can hold a meeting with annoyed workers in your office. You might say. "Jane, explain to me how you would feel if Nancy went to lunch with your clients (客户 ) without telling you?" Or. "Nancy, how would you respond if Jane came to me with complaints about you, but hadn't tried to talk to you about them first? "
Workers often respond better to praise than criticism. By publicly drawing attention to employees who have healthy work relationships. you can increase the awareness for those who encourage any conflict. Avoid mentioning teams or departments that are being troubled by conflict. Instead. focus on the teams that work well together You might say. "I want to express thanks to the design team for working together to meet the deadline this week," or -Special thanks to the finance department for their teamwork in making sure that the quarterly reports were accurate"
And help your employees see that differences can be good and don't necessarily lead to anger or disagreement This is one of the best ways to settle workplace conflicts. You can meet with employees and try to stress the value of different techniques. This lets all parties know that their own styles can be effective. You might say. " I know you disagree on how to market our services. but when you combine Jim's email marketing with Joe's personal one-on-one phone calls, you can increase sales. The two of you go well together. " Or. "I know you have different styles for interacting with clients. but Sally's take-them-out-for-coffee approach works well together with Ann's formal business meeting style Both are necessary for building relationships and getting work done. "
To build a team-centered workforce, employers_________.

By saying the underlined sentence "I want to express thanks ...this week". the author tries to

The author's purpose of writing the text is most likely to ________.

Sure. you know their names, possibly better than you know the name of the street you live on.
When the need comes, these names roll off our tongues like they were our own brothers. I am writing about the famous Webster s Dictionary and Roget s Thesaurus.
Webster s Dictionary. Many people can respond immediately: Noah Webster. We are aware that he is the father of the dictionary. But who was he? What did he do for a living? When did he live?
Noah was born in 1758, graduated from Yale University in 1778. and later graduated from law school He produced the first American dictionary in 1806 and published his influential work An American Dictionary of the English Language in l828. His interests led him to be a lexicographer  (词典编纂者). textbook editor, author, Bible translator and spelling reformer. He also produced a large number of writings in medicine, mythology  (神话),  and the relationship of European and Asian languages. In addition, he .founded the first New York daily newspaper in 1793. He died in 1843.
Roget's Thesaurus. And it gives us The chance to learn about Roget, the man-Peter Mark Roget, And who? What? When?
Englishman Peter Roget, MD, was born in 1779. He studied medicine and mathematics at the University of Edinburgh. He is considered as the creator of the first-ever thesaurus (同义词典). It has been called one of the three most important books ever printed. along with the Bible and Webster s Dictionary. He began his work Thesaurus of English  Words and Phrases in I 805 but did not publish it until 1852-47 years later. In his lifetime. he became a noted lecturer and writer on anatomy(解剖学 ). geology(地质学).bees，and more . When Roget died in 1869 at age 90. his son, John . took over the Thesaurus arid he gradually expanded it.
So now you know the two famous books. Not enough information? As well-known humourist James Thurber suggested in the title of his 1941 magazine short story about baseball, You Could Look It Up!
The author states that "these names roll off our tongues" in order to show that people______.

According to the text. Noah Webster and Peter Roget are alike because they both______.

The purpose of the last paragraph is to_______.

Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text?

Boys do bad at school
Despite education reforms and more than enough money, more and more boys have been dropping out of high schools in the United Arab Emirates  (阿拉伯联合酋长国 )  for the past few years.  _They often choose jobs in public services. the army or the police force instead. As a result. only 30% of the universities are made up of male students. Such a condition has also put them at an obvious disadvantage.     In such an oil-rich country. families are so wealthy that their children do not need to study hard. Boys often come to school with personal helpers who carry their suitcases for them and help them with their homework. They rely on them to do everything they would otherwise have to do themselves__
Public schools usually get enough money from the government.     The rest go to private schools where teachers are more interested in pushing children towards a higher education. In public schools. motivation is low and students seem uninterested in learning. Experts agree that teacher training throughout the Emirates needs to be improved.
   0ne of them is the population's widespread thinking that the government will always supply young citizens with jobs. Authorities are convinced that just pouring money into the school system won't achieve the desired results. Their aim is to have more Emirati males finish high school and continue to go to university, where they will get degrees and have a bright future.

E.  The Emirati people have been living on the land for centuries.
F.  Many mistakes have actually been made in the past few years.
G.   Currently about 25% of boys in the country do not finish high school

She also replied with a long,           face but her answer was a little different as she announced . " I didn't learn to        today."
What a disappointment for a little girl who thought  she would        know how to read her little books after the first day of school. I had to explain to her that she would         learn to read but didn't happen quite that fast.
My         went back to my school days again I could almost          the chalk dust in the air. I suppose few schools still use chalk and blackboards. They have probably been          with newer equipment and large computer screens
On the first day of school, the expectation was s0       that I would be up early in the morning and          long before it was time to leave for school We  .        about 6 blocks to school          new shoes that felt tight and carried our small supplies inside a cigar box from one of the local stores. The stores must have saved cigar boxes just to give to us children .We         them from year to year until they fell apart.
The first day of school was a new beginning, although there might be        on the first day. The doors of knowledge had been opened and we      great learning adventures. It is an     in our lives that most of us remember. It's a big step for a small child toward leaving babyhood and so  "there isn't enough time to play".
