A conflict at work is common. If you can avoid conflict, it means you will win what you want regardless of what the other person wants. Since the potential issue has not been removed, it will simply reappear later. Here are the necessary steps to effectively get rid of conflicts at work.
★Be aware of the fact that some conflicts are unavoidable at work. On numerous occasions, conflict and disagreement are likely to happen. But when a conflict happens it’s not the end of the world. On the contrary, it can be the beginning of an interesting learning process. Conflicts mean that people care enough to disagree strongly. The trick is not to allow the conflict to go on forever.
★ Deal with conflicts sooner rather than later. Solve a conflict when it starts, as it only gets worse with time going by. Conflicts at work arise not from something that was said, but from something that wasn’t said! Everyone’s waiting for the other to admit he’s wrong and gets more unpleasant after the conflict has lasted a while. It’s essential to interrupt the "waiting game" before it gets to that point.
★ Ask nicely. If somebody has done something that made you angry, or if you don’t understand their viewpoint or actions, simply asking nicely about it can make a world of difference. Never assume that people do what they do to annoy or hurt you. Sometimes there’s a good reason why that person does what he or she does, and a potential conflict disappear right there. Do remember to make an inquiry, not an accusation of any sort.
★ Appreciate. Praise the other part in the conflict. Tell them why it’s worth it to you to solve the conflict. This can be difficult as few people find it easy to praise and appreciate a person they disagree strongly with, but it’s a great way to move forward.

Myopia， or short﹣sightedness， is a condition in which distant objects appear blurred （模糊的）， but closer objects can usually be seen in sharp focus． Its biological basis is an eye that， during childhood， has grown too long for its optical power． The focal plane for images of distant objects ends up in front of the retina， causing out﹣of （1） perception．
Myopia was once regarded as almost totally genetically （2） ． But its prevalence （流行） has increased spectacularly in urban mainland China， Hong Kong， Taiwan， Singapore， Japan and South Korea， where 80﹣90% of those completing high school are now short﹣sighted． This is up from 20﹣30% only two generations ago． Since gene pools do not change that fast， these massive changes must be due to（3） change． In 2005， we （4） reviewed the research on myopia and found a correlation with education． （This was not a particularly novel insight： such a link was supposed as far back as Kepler in 1604．） We found locations with a high prevalence of myopia were all top performers in surveys of international educational outcomes．
Fortunately， not all high （5） locations， Australia among them， showed a high prevalence of myopia． This shows that high educational outcomes do not necessarily lead to myopia． We also hypothesized that all human population groups had a tendency to develop myopia under particular environmental conditions． Indeed． North America and Europe have seen growing rates of myopia， although they are still nowhere near as high as in East and Southeast Asia．
A common cutoff for high myopia is 5 diopters （屈光度）． This means vision is blurred beyond 20cm from the eyes． Such severe or high myopia increases with age and can lead to visual impairment that can't be corrected． The prevalence of high myopia has now reached 20% in young adults in East and Southeast Asia， which foreshadows major increases in visual （6） and blindness as these young adults age． So prevention of myopia has become crucial， particularly for East and Southeast Asia．
Australia has （7） low levels of myopia with a lifestyle that emphasizes outdoors activities． Young children report spending two to three hours a day outside， not （8） time outdoors at school． However， there are formidable barriers to achieving this benchmark in locations where spending time outdoors is seen as a（n）（9） from study． Policy responses must therefore also aim to slow the progression of myopia， the phenomenon in which mild to （10） myopia becomes more severe during childhood． There is currently controversy over whether time outdoors slows progression， but strong seasonal effects on progression suggest that it may．

Millions of Baby Olive Ridley Turtles Emerge in Orissa
Nature is full of wonders． In （1） is one of the most breathtaking sights in nature， millions of baby Ridley turtles broke out of their eggshells under the sand at one of their mass nesting grounds in coastal Orissa． The baby turtles started their journey towards the Bay of Bengal （2） they emerged from their nest in the southern district of Ganjam， about 175 km from Bhubaneshwar．
Orissa is the home to three mass nesting sites of the Oliver turtles， a species （3） （threaten） with extinction， and one of the sites， Gahirmatha，（4） around 70 to 80 million turtles lay eggs on the beach every year， is considered one of the world's largest nesting sites．
The female turtles drag （5） up the beach from the sea， dig a nest， lay at least one hundred eggs， cover and conceal their eggs and nest， and then return to the sea． The females never visit the nest again to take care of the eggs that （6） （deposit） in the warm sand．
The baby turtles emerge from the eggs after 45 60 days， then the babies grow without their mother， which is a rare phenomenon in nature， Interestingly， it is on the same beach where they were born （7） the females lay their eggs．
In the recent years， sea erosion has led to many turtles' nest （8） （damage） or destroyed． Also， some fierce animals such as dogs and birds （9） （reduce） the number of nesting turtles． And of course man has also had a negative impact （10）
