5.We were standing at the top of a church tower.My father had brought me to this spot in a small Italian town not far from our home in Rome.I wondered why.
"Look down,Elsa,"Father said.I gathered all my courage and looked down.I saw the square in the center of the village.And I saw the crisscross(纵横交错的网络) of twisting,turning streets leading to the square."See,my dear,"Father said gently."There is more than one way to the square.Life is like that."
Now I understood why I was there.Earlier that day I had begged my mother to do something about the awful lunches that were served at school.But she refused because she could not believe the lunches were as bad as I said.
When I turned to Father for help,he would not interfere(干预).Instead,he brought me to this high tower to give me a lesson---the value of an open,searching(锐利的) mind.By the time we reached home,I had a plan.
At school the next day,I secretly poured my luncheon soup into a bottle and brought it home.Then I talked the cook into serving it to Mother at dinner.The plan worked perfectly.She swallowed one spoonful and sputtered(喷溅),"The cook must have gone mad!"Quickly I told what I had done,and Mother stated firmly that she would take up the matter of lunches at school the next day!
In the years that followed I often remembered the lesson Father taught me.I began to work as a fashion designer two years ago.I wouldn't stop working until I tried every way to my goal.
25.Father took the writer to the top of a church tower in order toD.
A.get a good view 
B.see the square in the center of the village
C.show her the way to the square
D.give her a lesson
26.What did Elsa want her mother to do according to the passage?C
A.To cook something delicious for lunch.
B.To know the lunch she did was awful.
C.To let the school deal with the awful lunches.
D.To fire the mad cook.
27.The writer's mother finally agreed with her becauseD.
A.her mother thought the cook must have been mad
B.the writer brought her something home from school
C.the writer asked her father to persuade her mother
D.the writer tried a better way to achieve her goal
28.The underlined sentence in the second paragraph"Life is like that."means"A".
A.If you can't achieve your goal in one way,try another.
B.If you can't get to the square by one road,try another.
C.If you can't make your mother believe you by this means,try another one.
D.If you don't like one dish at school,try another one.

10.A conflict at work is common.If you can avoid 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 suggestions to effectively get rid of conflicts at work.
★Be aware of the fact that some conflicts are unavoidable at work.On numerous occasions,conflict and disagreement are likely to happen.But when a conflict happens it's 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.
★Deal with 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 wasn't said!Everyone's waiting for the other to admit he's wrong and gets more unpleasant after the conflict has lasted a while.It's 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 don't 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 there's 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 it's 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 it's a great way to move forward.

3.New Job,Same Company:Learning the Ropes
Starting a new job means learning the ropes at an unfamiliar place,but it can be harder for those faced with a new position within the same company.It's happening more these days as companies downsize.Whether you are moving from one job in your own department to another or suddenly answering to a new boss,you need to take steps to avoid the difficulties of office politics and work overload.
•Learn the new rules. Just because you are still in the same company,doesn't mean you will be playing by the same rules.Take the time to learn how things operate in your new work situation.Do not say"It's easy to think,I know the company,and I've been here for 20 years."It's really important not to think that it's the same.
•Talk it out.When moving from one job to another,you are likely to have twice the work.You might be eager to start the new job,but who will take over your old role?What are your new job responsibilities?Besides,if you're asked to take on work in addition to what you do now,ask what you should do first and find out who you will report to for the new responsibilities.
•Stay open.Reorganization usually leads to worry among employees,whether it's a favorite co-worker whose place you'll be taking or former peers who now report to you.You'll be bringing whatever old baggage you have and dealing with the worries of new colleagues.Don't be surprised by push-back from co-workers who may see your new role as a danger to them.Be open with your colleagues about your role and how it fits into the group.
•Keep relationships.While you may have a new set of colleagues,keeping relationships with old co-workers and managers is important,particularly in such a difficult work environment.But stop by to invite a former boss to coffee.You might some day go back to work with them.
1.Who is the passage written for?Those faced with anew position within the same company.
2.How much work are you likely to have when moving from one job to another?Twice the work.
3.What does reorganization usually lead to?Worry among employees.
4.Why is it important to keep relationships with your old colleagues?Because you might some day go back to work with them..
