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（铁锹） 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．"
Success can only be born in（25）B．Working hard is all winners'（26）Cexperience for making their（27）Abecome true．The more we（28）Afrom our hard work，the（29）Cimportance we will attach to hard work．A good life needs action to achieve，so we must（30）Bour goals and start our journey right now．

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．
Far too often，I ignored their（53）Bexpressions，eagerly expecting them to do things in my（54）D．Over the years，however，I've learned to（55）Dother persons'love signs．
