Conversation Two
W: Mr. Green, what do you think makes a successful negotiator?
M: Well, that’s hard to define. But I think successful negotiators have several things in common. They are always polite and rational people. They are firm but flexible. They can recognize power and know how to use it. 【12】 They are sensitive to the dynamics of a negotiation, the way it rises and falls and how it may change direction. They project the image of confidence,【13】 and perhaps most importantly, they know when to stop. W: And what about an unsuccessful negotiator?
M: Well, this is probably all of us when we start out. We are probably immature and

over-trusting, too emotional or aggressive. We are unsure of ourselves and we want to be liked by everyone. 【14】 Good negotiators learn fast. Poor negotiators remain like that and go on losing negotiations. W: In your opinion, can the skills of negotiation be taught?
M: Well, you can teach someone how to prepare for a negotiation. 【15】There are perhaps six stages in every negotiation: get to know the other side, state your goals, start the process, clarify areas of disagreement or conflict, reassess your position, making acceptable compromises, and finally, reach some agreement in principle. These stages can be studied, and strategies to be used in each can be planned beforehand. But I think, the really successful negotiator is probably born with the six sense about responding appropriately to the situation at hand. W: The artistic sense you’ve just described? M: Yes. That’s right.

Passage One
Some people wonder why countries spend millions of dollars on space projects. 【16】 They want to know how space research helps people on Earth. Actually, space technology helps people on Earth every day. This is called “spin-off technology”.
Spin-off technology is space technology that is now used on Earth. In early space programs, such as the Apollo missions of the 1960s and 1970s, 【17】and in the space shuttle missions today, scientists developed objects for the astronauts to use on the moon and in space. We now use some of these objects every day. 【18】For example, we have quartz crystal clocks and watches accurate to within one minute a year. We purify the water we drink with a water filter designed for the astronauts’ use in space. The cordless, hand-held tools we use in our homes, such as vacuum cleaners, flashlights, drills and saws came from the technology of these early space programs. On cold winter days, we can stay warm with battery-operated gloves and socks, and specially
