7.Cindy Hess began her automotive career as a Design and Development Engineer with Chrysler, in the fall of 1977. Today, she is Vice-President of Daimler Chrysler, and head of the Small Car Platform. Engineering Department which is directly responsible for the design and development of the Neon, Doge Viper, and all future small cars.
  "Many different departments are involved, in bringing a product to market," said Hess, referring to the 2000 Neon. "A company looks into renewing a particular vehicle when its marketplace demand is good, and the profits increase our shareholder"s value," explained Hess. "We look to our market research in determining which options we"ll keep the same or delete, and which ones we want to add to improve our appeal."

A few times a year I leave work for a couple of hours to see my son in a play or to attend his swim meet."
  Like most other successful women in the auto industry, Hess"s day begins early and ends late. In her case, coaching her son"s basketball game ends some of Hess"s days.

13.Recently, one of my best friends Jennie, with whom I have shared just about everything since the first day of kindergarten, spent the weekend with me. Since I moved to a new town several years ago, we have both always looked forward to the new times a year when we can see each other.
  Over the weekend, we spent hours and hours, staying up late into the night, talking about the people she was hanging around with. She started telling me stories about her new boy friend, about how he experimented with drugs and was into other self-destructive behavior. I was blown away! She told me how she had been lying to her parents about where she was going and even stealing out to see this guy because they didn"t want her around him. No matter how hard I tried to tell her that she deserved better, she didn"t believe me. Her self-respect seemed to have disappeared.
  I tried to convince her that she was ruining her future and heading for big trouble. I felt like I was getting nowhere. I just couldn"t believe that she really thought it was acceptable to hang with a bunch of losers, especially her boy friend.
  By the time she left, I was really worried about her and exhausted by the experience. It had been so frustrating that I had come close to telling her several times during the weekend that maybe we had just grown too far apart to continue our friendship, but I didn"t.I put the power of friendship to the ultimate test. We"d been friends for far too long. I had to hope that she valued me enough to know that I was trying to save her from hurting herself. I wanted to believe that our friendship could conquer anything.
  A few days later, she called to say that she had thought long and hard about our conversation, and then she told me that she had broken up with her boy friend.

19.Interpersonal conflict typically involves a relationship that has a sequence of conditions and events tending toward aggressive behavior. and disorder. However, conflict can also be viewed in terms of its background conditions, the feelings of the involved parties, their actual behavior, and the consequences of their behavior.
  Conflict is an organizational reality that is inherently neither good nor bad in and of itself. It can be destructive, but it can also play a productive role both within a person and between persons. Whereas most managers seek to reduce conflict because of its negative effect, some seek to use it for its positive effects on creativity, and motivation.
  There is no "one best way" for managing interpersonal conflict, either as an involved adversary or as a third party. Rather, there are a number of strategies involving the external conditions, differing views, internal feelings, and outcomes. In addition, the relationships of the involved parties (for example, superiors and subordinates, etc. ) and their past histories as adversaries, allies, or relatively neutral third parties form. another key factor. The relative power of the involved parties is another consideration in deciding whether to withdraw from the conflict, work toward controlling a conflict into a win/lose pattern, or smooth it over with friendly acts.
  Conflict as an involved participant is emotionally very different from conflict as a relatively objective third party. Indeed, as we will see, one strength of involving third parties lies in their potential to add an objective perspective to the feelings and behavior. of the involved adversaries. In this reading, we view the management of conflict from the point of view of both the adversary and the outside third party who might be a boss, colleague, friend, or even subordinate. Each of these roles adds its own distinct strengths and weaknesses.

From this passage, we learn that ______.

A．interpersonal conflict is typical of all people
B．interpersonal conflict tends to occur more often among aggressive people
C．when we look at interpersonal conflict, we must always listen to the opinions of the superiors
D．a(chǎn)ccumulated opposition often leads to interpersonal conflict

According to the author, ______.

A．sometimes managers can take advantage of conflicts
B．the third party in the conflict should always be fair
C．in conflict, you can always tell which party is right and which is wrong
D．the manager must settle all kinds of conflicts as quickly as he can

21.
How could a manager deal with conflict?

A．If his superior is involved, he should be the third party of it.
B．He should punish the person who is responsible for the conflict.
C．He might consider whether to interfere with the matter or not.
D．He would not consider his relationship with the two adversaries.

22.
Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A．If the manager happens to be involved in the conflict, he had better compromise.
B．There are many factors to consider before trying to settle a conflict.
C．The external conditions must be taken into account.
D．Sometimes we should deal with the involved parties in a friendly way.

23.
Why is a third party needed in settling a conflict?

B．He can help the two adversaries think about it more objectively.
C．He knows where to put strength in solving the problem.
D．He can control the two parties" behavior.
