The conflict in a story must first be obvious importance 62 ___ to the characters involved. We can illustrate this by reference to experience. All of us face constant conflicts our daily lives-whenever we cross a street, for example, or whenever the alarm goes off and we have to get up for a class. Most of our conflicts are easily resolved-we wait for traffic and then cross the street without fear, or we shut off the alarm, get up, and after two cups of coffee forget our pain. Furthermore, we also experience conflicts that are not 63 ___ easily resolved. All of us, for example, are faced almost daily with conflicts which have some kind of a permanent effect to us-which alter our basic values or our conception 64 ___ of human nature. Should we report the fellow student whom we look cheating on an examination? Should we pad (虚报) 65 ____ our accounts for books and supplies in that letter home- particularly since we know that father cheats a little here and there on his income-tax returns? None of us have 66 ____ witnessed teachers or ministers or high public officials preach one thing and practice other. All of us have found 67 _____ ourselves in that most common of all dilemmas-the choice between holding to a set of moral and ethical convictions and violate them in order to be accepted by our group. 68 ____ These are the kinds of conflicts which we find fiction; and 69 _____ because they are of this nature, we call fictional conflicts crisis situations. We mean by this that as a result of a given conflict, the character or characters involving will never 70 ____ again be quite the same people that they are before the 71 _____ incident occurred. Passage Two Women are a force that is changing in Australian society. The pride of place given to women as almost the 62 _ sole shapers of Australian history is being challenged. Today husbands more often than not share household chores and more men are finding women alongside them in the workplace. It may be some time after there is a woman 63 prime minister of Australia, but the need of women at the 64 _ top- and their right to be there-is now widely recognized. The growing role of women in the Australian work force is both a cause and a consequence of change attitudes and 65 lifestyles in Australian society. In offices, laboratories and factories, in social and political organizations, women are making their presence feel.There are few remaining legal barriers against women 66 in Australia in jobs, commercial contracts, politics and social life. The barriers that exist mainly stem from modern 67 attitudes built into society and are easily changed by new laws. 68 _ Women have brought about the most significant change in the Australian work force simply by entering it in thousands, and by seeking which before were assumed to be 69 suitable for men only. There are now women in Australia drive buses, trams, taxis, racing cars and 50-tonne trucks. 70 They are race-horse jockeys. They are apprentice electricians and mechanics. They are air-traffic controllers. They shear sheep and work like laborers. They are judges 71 and Members of Parliament. Passage Three The problems which face the learners of English can be divided into three categories: psychological, culture, 62 and linguistic. The largest category seems to be linguistic. When foreign learners first have the opportunity to speaking 63 to a native speaker of English, they may have a shock: they often have little difficulty in understanding spoken English 64 of native speakers. There are a number of reasons to this. 65 First, it seems to students that English people speak very quickly. Secondly, they say with a variety of accents. 66 Thirdly, different styles of speech are used in different situations, for example, everyday spoken English, which is colloquial and idiomatic, are different from the English 67 used for academic purposes. For all of these reasons students will have difficulty, mainly because we lack 68 practice in listening to English people speaking English. What can a student do then to overcome these difficulties? Well, obviously, he can benefit in attending 69 English classes and he should take every opportunity available to speak with native speakers of English. He should be aware, consequently, that English people are, by 70 temperament, often reserved and may be willing to start a 71 conversation. So he should have the courage to take the initiative. Passage Four Business visits tend to be extremely punctual. If you arrive late to a business appointment, it will reflect badly on you. So try to arrive on time, or even if a little earlier. 62 If you know that you will be arriving late, you should telephone ahead to let them know of the delay. If a business meeting takes place over a meal, expect the business discussions to begin after everyone has ordered their meal, sometimes as soon as everyone is seating. 63 Socializing tends to occur after the business is concluded, not before. This is in contrast with the practice in many other countries, where the purpose of the meal is to socialize with and get to know each other after any business 64 is discussed. Many American companies have men in 65 management positions. So don't be surprised if the person who meets you is a woman, not a man. They are just as competent as their male counterparts. If you feel uncomfortable, focusing on the business at hand and ignore 66 the fact what she happens to be a woman. Do not, 67 however, ask personal questions like you might with a male 68 colleague. In particular, do not ask whether she is married or has children. When businessmen or businesswomen meet, they usually introduce themselves through shaking 69 right hands. When you shake hands, don't crush their fingers, neither hold their hand so lightly. A firm 70 handshake is best. Business cards are not normally exchanged with meeting. If you need a colleague's contact 71 information, it is okay to ask them for their cards. It is also okay to offer someone your card. But there is not an elaborate ritual of exchanging cards as in other cultures. Passage Five Teachers believe that students' responsibility with 62. ____ learning is necessary.

Professors do not have time to explain how the library works; they expect students, particular graduate students, 67. ___ to be able to use the reference sources in the library.
