Generally speaking, relationships make or break us. From the quality of ourfamily time to our   (1)   at work, our relationships are largely   (2)   for our career success or failure. Here are some   (3)    to help you develop good relationships with others.

Usually, people who focus on themselves when interacting with others    (4)   build positive lasting relationships. Instead, they should learn to become good    (5)   and encourage others to talk about themselves.

All the skills and education in the world will never    (6)   anyone as much as sincere, heartfelt care for them.   (7)   , few things have a more positive effect on others than finding out and remembering things about them. Knowing a lot about people is a real    (8)   of your care for them, and it creates a lasting    (9)   .

Give your relationship something positive when you meet, such as ideas, opportunities, and resources. Besides   (10)   , be willing to receive from the other person. In fact, one of the best ways to start a relationship is to ask for advice or a favor. Everyone loves to show his    (11)   knowledge and authority on a subject, because it makes him feel honored and respected.

Try to use conflict as a tool, not a   (12)    The   (13)   of conflict in a relationship is natural and healthy. Damage only occurs when we react    (14)   to it. To learn more about the other person and find a solution that    (15)    both of you, relationships could become stronger and deeper.

Relationships break up quickly when others can’t    (16)    you, so say what you mean and    (17)   your word. Few things damage a friendship more severely than breaking a    (18)   .

If people know more about the value of good relationships, they can achieve both personal satisfaction and    (19)   success. If you aren’t naturally    (20)   in this area, don’t worry. You can learn to improve them in your life and career.

Displaying charitable behaviors can develop in your child sympathy and desire to give. Sherry, for instance, began doing so when her daughter, Tracy, was 4. She   (1)   to Tracy that there were many children whose parents couldn't   (2)  to buy them toys, and that she  (3)  

want to gather up the toys and clothes for which she was "too   (4)   " and put them in a bag. Tracy was   (5)   to do this task, and they drove to a shelter run by a local church. Tracy carried the   (6)   in. As Tracy became older, they would carry out this   (7)   a few times a year.

These activities showed Tracy that her mom was involved in helping the poor, but   (8)  , gave her a chance to become involved. On some occasions, Tracy had second   (9)   about some toys she had donated and   (10)   to keep a few of them for herself. This is   (11)  .Expect these second thoughts and don't turn a learning experience into a fight.   (12)   children

are willing to give up some of their things, they are on the right   (13)  .

Getting your children involved doesn't   (14)   much time and effort. Grace and Hal's two kids attended a local public   (15)   that had a shelter. Once a week, both children brought two   (16)   of food to school for the shelter. Every family member worked there a few hours once a month. Even their 4-year-old daughter helped   (17)   canned goods on the lower shelves. One day, she helped place canned peaches. That evening, the family   (18)  

dinner at the shelter, and the meal included canned peaches. Many years have passed and their younger daughter   (19)   recalls how good it made her feel when she was 4 and saw the homeless eating " her" peaches. Today, all three kids   (20)   to be active volunteers.

Ttwo years ago, my husband bought me a bicycle.If you live in a town, it is often faster than a car and you   (1)   worry about parking.You can   (2)  it anywhere .As it has a seat at the back and a basket at the front,I can take my small daughter to school, to the library, shopping,_(3) _in fact.

I use it most in summer when the weather is warm and dry.It can be very unpleasant in winter when it is cold and the rain is _ (4) _ down.It can also be very _ (5) _. You must of course be careful on a bicycle. Accidents are not the only problem though.One day I went shopping and came back  (3)  _ my front wheel was missing. It was a long  (4)   to the bicycle shop!Now I have three strong locks.

My husband uses my bicycle sometimes for short journeys. He says it is better than waiting for a bus.He still uses his car for  (5)   journeys, but I think that all this_  (6)  _ down is making him fat and lazy.On my bicycle I get a lot of _  (7)  _ and fresh air, and this makes me feel a lot younger.

I’ve got a problem with my husband, Sam. He bought a __（1）_ a couple of months ago, and he took it on our recent ski vacation to Colorado. It was a great  (1)  except for one problem. He has a constant urge to check for text messages; he checks his phone every five minutes! He’s so   (2)  to it that he just can’t stand the idea that there may be a(n)   (3)  text. He can’t help checking even at   (4)  times like when we are  (5)   in a restaurant and I am talking to him! He   (6)  as if any small amount of boredom(厌烦) can make him feel the need to check his phone even when he knows he shouldn’t. The   (7)  to see who is contacting him is just too great. When I ask him to   (8)  the phone and stop   (9)  me, he says, “In a minute.” but still checks to see if someone has posted something  (10)  on the Internet. Our life is  (11)   If we go somewhere and I ask him to   (12)   the phone at home, he  (13)  from withdrawal（撤回）symptoms. Maybe this dependency   (14)  _ his smartphone has become more than an everyday problem.

 I recently read an article about “nomophobia,” which is a real   (15)  people can suffer from the   (16)  of being without your phone! I am worried that Sam may be suffering from this illness because he feels   (17)  if he doesn’t have his phone with him, even for a short time.

Who would have thought so   (18)  items like these could have brought so much   (19)  !

I'd been travelling for long hours on a lonely country road when I had a flat tyre．So I had to stop and get the tools to   (1)  the problem．It certainly wasn't    (2)    doing this with a white shirt and suit on．

Nightfall was approaching．Suddenly a car pulled     (3)    from behind me．A man got out and offered to    (4)    me．Seeing his unpleasant appearance and tattoos（纹身）on his arm, I became   (5)   as thoughts of robberies flashed through my mind．But     (6)     I could say anything he had already begun to take the tools to change the   (7)   ．While watching him I happened to look back at his car and noticed someone sitting in the passenger seat．This had     (8)    me．

Then, without    (9)   , it began to rain．He suggested that I wait in his car because my car was unsafe．As the rain increased, getting us wet within seconds I      (10)         agreed．When I settled into the back seat, a woman's voice came from the front seat．"Are you all right?" She turned around to me．"Yes, I am," I replied with much    (11)    when seeing an old woman there．It must be his Mom, I thought．To my    (12)     , the old woman was a neighbor of the man who was helping me．"Jeff insisted on stopping when he saw you     (13)    with the tyre．" "I am grateful for his help," I said．”Me, too!" she said with a smile．He helped drive her to see her husband twice a week in a nursing home．She also said that he     (14)   at the church and tutored disadvantaged students．

The rain stopped and Jeff and I changed the tyre．I tried to offer him money and of course he    (15)    it．It was shameful that I judged people by the way they    (16)   .   As we shook hands I began to apologize for my    (17)   . He said, "I experience that same     (18)   often. People who look like me don't do nice things．I     (19)    thought about changing the way．But then I saw this as a chance to make a     (20)   . So I'll leave you with the same question I ask everyone who takes time to know me．If Jesus returned tomorrow and walked among us again, would you recognize Him by what He wore or by what He did?"

 I was said to be the worst student in my class, and my family thought I was helpless. I had to   (1)   grade six. At the time a new teacher, Miss Sadia, came to our school.

  One day after class, she   (2)  that I was staying alone during the lunch break. She came to me and began to talk to me. It was just a   (3)  conversation. After that day, she gave me particular   (4)  and it made me feel special. I started to work hard because she gave me the feeling that   (5)  believed me, and my   (6)  started to improve in her subject.

  Months later, she moved into a house near my   (7)  . WE would walk home together after school. Her constant support helped me,   (8)  in my studies, as I knew she would   (9)  my grades both in her subject and the other subjects. I finally   (10)  second in my class.

  Then, after grade six, she started to slowly drift away(疏远)   (11)  still kept a constant check on me. By the time I was in grade seven, we   (12)  spoke, but by then I had become the   (13)  in my class. When I left my school, I was   (14)  with her, as she never answered the   (15)  when I called her.

  Then I graduated and went to a good university,. One fine day, our paths(路)   (16)    again. I met her at a wedding. I could not   (17)  asking her, “Why did you stop talking to me?”

  “You are a clever boy. I wanted you to be a tree   (18)  on your own roots, not depending on others. Now here you are and I feel   (19)  of you. You are your inspiration and do not need to   (20)  a shoulder,” she said. I could not say anything, but I smiled. I’ll always thank her.

The government in China plans to end its one-child per family policy(政策) and instead let families have two children.

 People knew the   (1)   after an important meeting in Beijing. It’s reported that there are many reasons   (2)   the change in policy. One of them is to  (3)   population development. 

 China has the worldˈs   (4)   population. It carried out the one-child policy in 1980. But the government  (5)   only a small number of couples to have two children. For example, at rural areas,  (6)  the first-born is a girl, couples can have a second child.

 In 2013, the Chinese government  (7)   other couples a chance to have two children. Families could have two if one  (8)  was an only child. However, too many young people in the cities are probably no longer   (9)   in having a second child. 

 At the end of 2014, China had a population of 1.37 billion people. A total of 800  (10)  of them are employed(雇佣). With the two-child policy, an increase in births will change the labor shortage(短缺).
