How to avoid conflicts Arguing with a partner, family member, or co-worker can be a lot of things: informative, helpful, destructive, or hurtful. Most people would agree that conflict is exhausting. If you're looking to avoid con- flict, there are immediate things you can do to stop a fight from happening and ways to prevent fights down the road 17. If your partner has instigated the fight, or has responded irrationally to your concerns, verbalize this. For example, say, “I realize this. issue is really important to you", or “I know you don't think my idea is any good, but | do”. 18. Make this conversation as emotionally sta- ble as possible, no yelling or blaming. Instead, make your points brief and specific. It will be easier for the other person to respond to spe- cific instances, than broad generalizations or accusations. While this may be hard, limit the conflict to one or two main issues. 19. You should be actively listening to what the other person says, Listen to what she or he’s re- ally trying to tell you, whether or not it's what you want to hear. Don't rush the other person to talk. Letting her bring up concerns at her own pace will make her feel respected and listened to. 20. If you don’t agree with what she's is say- ing, validate her concerns, rather than arguing with her. It may be helpful to take a few mo- ments to gather your thoughts before respond- ing. This will keep you from accidentally saying ‘something hurtful. 21. This is just as important as avoiding yell- ing, cursing, or name calling. Avoid crossing your arms, pointing fingers, hiding your hands, or not making eye contact. These can signal an unwillingness to talk. https://wew.wikihow.com/Avoid-Confct A | Use humor ——* B__ Give the other person a chance to speak € | Calmly discuss one another's concems D Put yourself in the other person's shoes E __ Respond to the other person with respect F Plan your body language G__ Plan important discussions | H_| Acknowledge the other person's concerns Test 1 | Yactiia “MuTaHHa®TASK 5 pee Rt oe ht tie aan e any et answers on the separate answer: The Great Mammoth Hoax According to most accounts, woolly mammoths became extinct thousands of years ago. But in Octo- ber, 1899 a story titled “The Killing of the Mammoth” appeared in McClure’s Magazine in which a narrator named H. Tukeman described how he had recently, hunted down and killed what was possibly the last, surviving mammoth in the Alaskan wilderness, According to the tale, Tukeman was travelling through Alaska in 1890. At Fort Yukon he met an old Indian named “Joe”. He showed Joe some pictures from a scrapbook, and one of the pictures happened to be of an elephant. Seeing the picture, Joe became excited and began to tell Tukeman of how he had once seen a similar creature living in a nearby moun- tain valley. Tukeman determined to find the creature the old Indian had described. He hired an Indian guide, and together the two men travelled to the location de- scribed by Joe. Sure enough, they found the creature still there, bathing in a mountain river. The creature was nothing less than a woolly mammoth: “There he stood in a little clearing, the great beast that only one other living man had seen, tearing up great masses of lichenous moss and feeding as an elephant feeds.” Working on the premise that the creature would be attracted to smoke, the two men built a large bonfire, and, as expected, the mammoth eventually tushed over to inspect the blaze. When the animal 22.

Then they roasted and ate some of the meat, finding it ‘not unpalatable, but terribly tough” This tale as it appeared in McClure’s Magazine was pure fiction, and was labelled as such in the magazine's table of contents, Nevertheless, huge numbers of readers were fooled by the realistic tone of the narrative and wrote both to the magazine and to the Smithsonian expressing outrage that the last mammoth had been shot. So many people wrote in that the magazine had to publish a statement in a ‘subsequent issue explaining that "The Killing of the Mammoth" had simply been a work of fiction. Their statement read as follows: "The Killing of the Mammoth” by H. Tukeman was printed purely as fiction, with no idea of misleading ‘the public, and was entitled a story in our table of con- tents. We doubt if any writer of realistic fiction ever had a more general and convincing proof of success.” 23.

Some of the earliest board games are over five thousand years old. The oldest is proba- bly Senet, an Ancient Egyptian game which has been found in burials from before 3000BC. The game involves an element of luck, and so it was thought by the Ancient Egyptians that those who won the game were protected by the Gods. For this reason, games of Senet were often buried alongside the body in the grave, to be used on the dangerous journey to the afterlife. The game can also be seen ‘on a number of paintings in tombs. The game board is set out as a grid of three by ten rows, and uses two sets of at least five pawns. The actual rules are un- known, although some historians have proposed rules which are used in the Senet sets available today. 22. Which of these would be the best title for this passage?

It was played with two sets of sev- en markers, one black and one white, and three four-sided dice. Although the ancient rules are un- known, a stone tablet has been found which depicts a reliable record of how the game was played in 177-176 BC Both Senet and The Royal Game of Ur are prob- ably predecessors to the game backgammon, which itself has a long history. The game of Nard, which existed in iran in around 3000BC, used two sets of fifteen counters, four dice and same board as the one used in backgammon today, although the ini- tial starting positions and rules are different.

And the trend doesn't just affect omelettes. Health-conscious Americans have moved be- yond the yolk free omelette (34) Although not so much of @ problem in the UK, as the egg-white craze hasn't really taken off there yet, the US is fac ing a shortage of egg whites. Egg suppliers there have noted an increase in the sales priceof egg whites to nearly double what it was in the recent past, (35) A curious question is where all the unused yolks go. Considering that it's such a huge waste, one might wonder how responsible this eat- ing habit is for the world’s food supply. One company that supplies egg whites says that every single yolk that they separate from the egg is sold to other food companies. Still, for restaurants that buy whole eggs and discard the yolks to make their omelettes, (36) ___. On top of that, recent studies have demonstrated that eag yolks are not 18 that bad for you.

Living a Happy Life Starting Right Now It doesn't matter your age, how much money you have in your bank account, your marital status or what you do for a living, we all want to be more suc- cessful in our lives. Of course, defining success is different for each us, but here are 5 proven ways that can make you more productive, happy and success- ful in life, 17. According to researchers Martin Seligman, Robert Emmons, and Michael McCullough, being grateful can result in feeling better about your life, more enthusiasm and more willingness to help others. Being grateful may even reduce coronary artery disease. Take the time to write down what you're grateful each and every day. 18. After analyzing data from between 1972 and 1992, University of California, Santa Bar- bara, economist Catherine Weinberger found that “The people who are both smart and socially adept earn more in today's workforce than similarly endowed workers in 1980.” 19. Let's be honest. People don't care about the expensive clothes you wear, how big is the house you own or the car your drive. That's not to say that they don't respect your achievements or possessions. Instead, they care you as an individual and they'll support you no matter what ~ because they love you. Believe it! 24 20. If you're feeling constantly burnt out it's probably because you're doing too much at ‘one time. Research has found that “when you switch away from a primary task to do something else, you're increasing the time it takes to finish that task by an average of 25 percent” You're also burning your reservoir of energy. Both of these issues decrease your productivity and prevent you from accomplishing tasks and goal. 21. According to Mark Snyder, a psychologist and head of the Center for the Study of the Individual and Society at the University of Minnesota, "People who volunteer tend to have higher self-esteem, psychological well-being, and happiness.” Additionally, helping others is beneficial for our health. But, how can you help others if you haven't taken care of yourself first? Take care of your needs first and then begin to help others.

For question (22-24) choose the eorrect anew (AB orD) Write your an- In 1989 a young, intrepid Australian was travel- ling around Europe and found himself at his British hotel after closing time — at 10 in the morning. Whilst most of us might take this as an opportunity to find a cosy bed and breakfast or at least a dry bench in a railway station. Matt Lassiter spotted a business opportunity. Knowing that he was not alone and that thousands of backpacking youngsters were wander- ing the world with heavy bags and fat wallets. Las- siter came up with a plan to start his own hostels that made young visitors feel at home whenever they arrived. “Irealised there was not so much a gap in the backpackers’ market, but rather a canyon!” ‘A couple of years later, Lassiter formed his own company, which he called Roamers. His intention was to focus on creating hostels, which would pro- vide accommodation for the dynamic youth tourism market. "The average backpacker, around 18 - 21, is likely to be highly educated, often taking time off between school and university and usually has quite a lot of money to spend and these are the people Roamers sets out to attract” says Lassiter. Today, Roamers operates in more than 20 coun- tries, has 70 hostels and provides 1.5 million bed 22. What did Lassiter think would help young travellers? __To be less spoilt financially by their parents {To find more welcoming accommodation To be more aware of looking after their money To accept that accommodation can vary 23. Why are parents in favour of Roamers? | They don't have to worry about their children's safety B__ They approve of the entertainment on offer They can pay extra for secure arrangements They like the fact that their children have fun jolo READING / Task 5 nights each year. Lassiter says that each hostel is like a kindly aunt or uncle looking after young people. Backpackers like that and their parents 35 like it even more, not because Roamers is a fun environment, but because Roamers offers a safe and secure form of accommodation. A typical hostel has showers and toilets on each floor, a “chill out” room with television, food, bar and drinks facilities, a laundry room and internet access with free e-mail usage. Lassiter was very aware that his young, bright customers would all be familiar with the internet and that it would play an important part in marketing his company. Part of Lassiter’s success is knowing that back- packers want to feel like explorers. “We have to be very careful how we market our products ~ it must be their decision and not seen as a package holiday ~ we make them think they are independent.” The Roamers technique is to offer pre-booked two or four-day tours, ‘a couple of nights recovering from jet-lag, a welcome pack, clean sheets ~ no sleeping bags - and a free call home. The formula is certainly working, which just ‘goes to show that Lassiter's instincts are exactly right for this growing holiday market. 24.

The Uffizi Gallery, Florence, Italy. “Great” is an overworked adjective in Italy, where so many of the country’s monuments and works of art command the highest praise. In the case of the Galleria Uffizi, it barely does justice to a gallery that holds the world's finest collec- tion of Renaissance paintings. All the famous names of Italian art are here ~ not only the Renaissance masters, but also painters from the early medieval, baroque, and Mannerist heyday. 28. The Prado, Madrid, Spain. Over centuries, kings and queens collected and commissioned art with passion and good taste. In addition to stars of Spanish painting such as Velézquez, Goya, Ribera, and Zurbaran, the Prado has big collections of Italian (including Titian and Raphael) and Flemish artists. Fernando Vit opened the collection to the public in 1819, in the same neoclassic building it's housed in today, designed by Juan de Villanueva. 29, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. The Smithsonian is the worlds largest research and museum complex, with 19 museums and galleries, the National Zoological Park, and various research stations. More than 137 million objects detailing America’s story are housed here, so you'd better prepare for a long week of walking. There's so much to see that, if you spent 26 ‘one minute day and night looking at each object on exhibit, in ten years you'd see only ten percent of the whole. Therefore, is wise to head out with a plan. Focus on only one or two exhibits at two or three different museum. 30. Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, the Nether- lands. About 900.000 objects fill the Rijksmu- seum, the largest collection of art and history the Netherlands. It is most famous for its paintings by 17"-century Dutch masters, including Ruysdael, Frans Hals, Johannes Vermeer, and Rembrandt van Rijn. Established in 1800 to exhibit the collections of the Dutch stadtholders, the Rijksmuseum also displays art from the Middle Ages. The main building is closed for renovation until 2013; collection highlights are displayed in the Philips Wing and at Rijksmuseum Schiphol. 31, The British Museum, London, England. Britain's largest museum looks after the na- tional collection of archaeology and ethnogra- phy - more than eight million objects ranging from prehistoric bones to chunks of Athens’ Parthenon, from whole Assyrian palace rooms to exquisite gold jewels. 32.
