Many people think that communication is the source of most of their work-related conflicts, but they'd be wrong. In a work context, more conflicts come from structural relationships and personal differences than communication itself.
Organizations create job descriptions, specialized work groups, and authority relationships, all with the intent to improve coordination(协调). But in doing so, they separate people and create the potential for conflicts. For instance, departments within organizations have diverse goals. Purchasing is concerned with the timely acquisition of materials and supplies at low prices; quality control's attention is focused on improving quality and ensuring that the organization's products meet standard. When groups within an organization seek diverse ends, there is increased potential for conflicts.
Have you ever met people to whom you took an immediate disliking? Most of the opinions they expressed, you disagreed with. Even insignificant characteristics—the way they cocked their head when they talked or smirked when they smiled—annoyed you. We've all met people like that, and many of us have to work with people like this.
Today's organizations are increasingly diverse in terms of age, gender and race. So, not surprisingly, employees differ on the importance they place on general values
such as responsibility, equality and ambition. They also differ on job-related values such as the importance of family over work or freedom against authority. These differences often surface in work-related interactions and create significant interpersonal conflicts.
The above doesn't mean that communication can't be a source of conflicts. It can. Differing word connotations, insufficient exchange of information, poor listening skills, and the like, create conflicts. But the belief that “we can deal with our differences if we just communicate more” is not necessarily true. The evidence actually shows that the potential for conflicts increases when there is too much communication as well as when there's too little.
So when you're trying to manage conflicts, take a thoughtful look at their source. It's more likely that the conflict is coming from work-related requirements, personality differences, or dissimilar values; it is from poor communication. And that might influence the actions you take to resolve the conflict.
16．From Para.2, we know that in an organization, ________． A．job descriptions can effectively improve cooperation B．different goals of branches may cause disagreements
C．division of labor usually results in harmonious relationship D．the setting of different departments is to encourage competition 17．The writer holds that ________．
A．fewer conflicts will appear if we communicate more
B．most people share similar values in the same organization C．communication is just one of the reasons for most conflicts D．we'd better calm down before taking action when in conflict 18．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point(次要点) C: Conclusion Ⅲ.[2012·北京卷] 阅读填空
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Empathy
Last year, researchers from the University of Michigan reported that empathy,
the ability to understand other people, among college students had dropped sharply over the past 10 years. __19__ Today, people spend more time alone and are less likely to join groups and clubs.
Jennifer Freed, a co-director of a teen program, has another explanation. Turn on the TV, and you're showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting, competing, and generally treating one another with no respect. __20__
There are good reasons not to follow those bad examples. Humans are socially related by nature. __21__ Researchers have also found that empathetic teenagers are more likely to have high self-respect. Besides, empathy can be a cure for loneliness, sadness, anxiety, and fear.
Empathy is also an indication of a good leader. In fact, Freed says, many top companies report that empathy is one of the most important things they look for in new managers. __22__“Academics are important. But if you don't have emotional(情感的) intelligence, you won't be as successful in work or in your love life，”she says.
What't the best way to up your EQ(情商)？For starters, let down your guard and really listen to others. __23__
To really develop empathy, you'd better volunteer at a nursing home or a hospital, join a club or a team that has a diverse membership, have a “sharing circle” with your family, or spend time caring for pets at an animal shelter.
A．Everyone is different, and levels of empathy differ from person to person. B．That could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time, the researchers said.
C．“One doesn't develop empathy by having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of talking，”Freed says.
D．Humans learn by example—and most of the examples on it are anything but empathetic.
E．Empathy is a matter of learning how to understand someone else—both what they think and how they feel.
F．Good social skills—including empathy—are a kind of“emotional intelligence”that will help you succeed in many areas of life.
G．Having relationships with other people is an important part of being human—and having empathy is decisive to those relationships.

课时作业(二)
Ⅰ.1.B 考查冠词用法。make the most of充分利用；第二个空表示“数量一”，用a。a switch 一个改变。
2．A 考查介词短语的含义。句意：导演绝不会拒绝那个演员，因为她适合这个角色。 3．A 考查动词的时态和虚拟语气。句意：——自从我上次见到你已经有好多年了；我刚才根本没把你认出来。——如果没有人叫你名字，我也认不出你。第一空用一般过去时表示刚才(过去)发生的事实；第二空根据主句“I wouldn't have(recognized)”可判断。
