[简答题]Approach-avoidance conflict 　　The professor cites one of his female friends as an example. She always wanted to be a teacher. And before university she was so interested and had so much enthusiasm in that. But later when she got into the work after graduation, she found out that she had to spend a lot time at home grading papers which was not what she expected before.

The remaining states of the world, numbering over 110, are the South.
The South has been and is described by many terms -- the Third World, the Developing World, and the Less Developed Countries (LDCs), to name just a few.

[单项选择]Conventional wisdom about conflict seems pretty much cut and dried. Too little conflict breeds apathy (冷淡) and stagnation (呆滞). Too much conflict leads to divisiveness (分裂) and hostility. Moderate levels of conflict, however, can spark creativity and motivate people in a healthy and competitive way.
Recent research by Professor Charles R. Schwenk, however, suggests that the optimal level of conflict may be more complex to determine than these simple generalizations. He studied perceptions of conflict among a sample of executives. Some of the executives worked for profit-seeking organizations and others for not-for-profit organizations.
