The two parties maychoose to focus their attention on one or more of three basic factors. They may seek to ( 1 )reconcile their interests, ( 2 ) determine who is right, and/or ( 3 ) determine who is more powerful.Section ASection AInterests are needs, desires, concerns, fears_the things one cares about or wants. They providethe foundation for a persons or an organisations position in a dispute. In a dispute, not only do theinterests of one party not coincide with those of the other party, but they are in conflict. Forexample, the director of sales for an electronics company gets into a dispute with the director ofmanufacturing over the number of TV models to produce. The director of sales wants to producemore models because her interest is in selling TV sets; more models mean more choice forconsumers and hence increased sales. The director of manufacturing, however, wants to producefewer models. His interest is in decreasing manufacturing costs and more models mean highercosts.Section BSection BReconciling such interests is not easy. It involves probing for deeply rooted concerns, devisingcreative solutions, and making trade-offs and compromises where interests are opposed. The mostcommon procedure for doing this is negotiation, the act of communication intended to reachagreement. Another interests-based procedure is mediation, in which a third party assists thedisputants, the two sides in the dispute, in reaching agreement.5Section CSection CBy no means do all negotiations (or mediations) focus on reconciling interests. Some negotiationsfocus on determining who is fight, such as when two lawyers argue about whose case has thegreater merit. Other negotiations focus on determining who is more powerful, such as whenquarrelling neighbours or nations exchange threats and counter threats. Often negotiations involvea mix of all three - some attempts to satisfy interests, some discussion of fights, and somereferences to relative power.Section DSection DIt is often complicated to attemptto determine who is right in a dispute. Although it is usuallystraightforward where fights are formalized in law, other fights take the form of unwritten butsocially accepted standards of behaviour, such as reciprocity, precedent, equality, and seniority.There are often different - and sometimes contradictory - standards that apply to fights. Reachingagreement on fights, where the outcome will determine who gets what, can often be so difficultthat the parties frequently mm to a third party to determine who is right. The most typical fightsprocedure is adjudication, in which disputants present evidence and arguments to a neutral thirdparty who has the power to make a decision that must be followed by both disputants. (Inmediation, by contrast, the third party does not have the power to decide the dispute.) Publicadjudication is provided by courtsand administrative agencies. Private adjudication is providedby arbitrators.Section ESection EA third way to resolve a dispute is on the basis of power. We define power, somewhat narrowly, asthe ability to pressure someone to do something he would not otherwise do. Exercising powertypically means imposing costs on the other side or threatening to do so. The exercise of powertakes two common forms: acts of aggression, such as physical attack, and withholding the benefitsthat derive from a relationship, as when employees stop working in a strike.Section FSection FIn relationships of mutual dependence, such as between labour and management or within anorganisation or a family, the question of who is more powerful turns on who is less dependent onthe other. If a company needs the employees work more than employees need the companys pay,the company is more dependent and hence less powerful. How dependent one is turns on howsatisfactory the alternatives are for satisfying ones interests. The better the alternative, the less6dependent one is. If it is easier for the company to replace striking employees than it is for strikingemployees to find new jobs, the company is less dependent and thereby more powerful.Determining who is the more powerful party without a decisive and potentially destructive powercontest is difficult because power is ultimately a matter of perceptions.Section 2Section 2判断题判断题 (True/False/Not Given)(True/False/Not Given)题型概述题型概述: :判断题是雅思阅读的特色。它有 3 种答案:对(TRUE)、错(FALSE)和没有提到(NOTGIVEN)中国考生容易混淆后两种答案。解题步骤:解题步骤:Step 1Step 1:定位,找出题目在原文中的出处。1 1找出题目中的关键词,最好先定位到原文中的一个段落。找出题目中的关键词,最好先定位到原文中的一个段落。将题目中的关键词与原文各段落的小标题或每段话的第一句相对照。 有些题目能先定位到原文中的一个段落,这必将大大加快解题时间, 并提高准确率。但并不是每个题目都能先定位到原文中的一个段落的。2 2 从头到尾快速阅读该段落,根据题目中的其他关键词,在原文中找出与题目相关的一从头到尾快速阅读该段落,根据题目中的其他关键词,在原文中找出与题目相关的一句话或几句话句话或几句话。确定一个段落后,答案在该段落中的具体位置是未知的。 所以,需要从头到尾快速阅读该段落,找出该段落中与题目相关的一句话或几句话,通常是一句话。3 3仔细阅读这一句话或几句话,根据第二大步中的原则和规律,确定正确答案。4 4要注意顺序性,即题目的顺序和原文的顺序基本一致。题目是有顺序性的。 第一题的答案应在文章的前部, 第二题的答案应在第一题的答案之后。这个规律也有助于同学们确定答案的位置。Step2Step2:根据下列原则和规律,确定正确答案笔者尽可能将规律总结得详细些,使同学们能够对号入座,加快解题的速度和准确率。请同学们要灵活地理解。特别强调:特别强调:判断题定位后只能以原文为依据判断题干为对 (TRUE)、错(FALSE)或没有提到(NOTGIVEN),不要联想自己的常识或专业知识。解决方案解决方案:灵活熟练运用判断题原则7TRUETRUE原则原则 1 1:题干在用词、结构、含义等方面都与原文保持一致:题干在用词、结构、含义等方面都与原文保持一致 ( (很少见很少见) ),答案选,答案选 TRUE.TRUE.公式:公式:AAAA 语言重现。语言重现。1. 1.The term of formal learning is used to refer to all learning which takes place in theclassroom,irrespective of whether such learning is informed by conservative or progressiveideologies.

Success in the classroom, where formal learning takes place, requires a studentto master this abstract code. As Bernstein (1969: 152) noted, the language of the classroomis more similar to the language used by middle-class families than that used byworking-class families. Middle-class children thus find it easier to acquire the language ofthe classroom than their working-class peers.6.26.2Informal learning, in contrast, occurs in the setting to which it relates, making learningInformal learning, in contrast, occurs in the setting to which it relates, making learningimmediately relevant.

The Aborigines were not farmers and were wholly dependent for life onthe wild products around them. They learned to eat, often after treatment, a wide variety ofplants. The conquering Europeans displaced the Aborigines, killing many, driving others fromtheir traditional tribal lands, and eventually settling many of tribal remnants on governmentreserves, where flour and beef replaced nardoo and wallaby as staple foods. And so, graduallythe vast store of knowledge, accumulated over thousands of years by the Aborigines, fell intodisuse. Much was lost.Q Q:
