[填空题]Research contradicts conventional ideas

[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.
Somewhat surprisingly, Schwenk found that opinions about conflict varied systematically as a function of the type of organization. Specifically, managers in not-for-profit organizations strongly believed that conflict was beneficial to their organizations and that it promoted higher quality decision making than might be achieved in the absence
A. wrong
B. oversimplified
C. misleading

Conventional wisdom in the thirty something era declares that the American marriage is in serious trouble: a sky-high divorce rate, new stresses and tensions in the sex wars and easy opportunities for extramarital adventures. Not so, according to a new survey conducted by Gallup for Psychology Today and two national TV programs, King World’s Inside Edition and ABC’s HOME. Although some experts question its accuracy, the poll indicates Americans are surprising and happily monogamous. 41)______
The poll’s findings will appear in Psychology Today’s March issue, along with an analysis written by the magazine’s editor in chief, T George Harris, and the orchestrator of the survey, Father Andrew Greeley. 42)______ Considering the widespread publicity given to marital cheating, Greeley admits that the survey results were "something of a surprise." "People may talk more than they actually do." Says the celibate Roman Catholic pries

[单项选择]A conventional teacher’s license usually requires a university degree in education plus an unpaid term of practice teaching. This has never made much sense. It excludes bright students who take degrees in other subjects, and might teach those subjects; it is costly and time-consuming for career-switchers, who must wait a year or more before they can enter a classroom; it is so rigid that private-school teachers or university professors with years of experience have to jump through hoops before they can start teaching in a state school. And there is virtually no evidence that it creates better teachers. For all that, it is strongly backed by schools of education, which have a monopoly of teacher-training, and by teachers’ unions, whose members make more money when it is artificially hard for others to get into the profession.
Now, some 45 states and the Districts of Columbia offer an "alternative route" to a teacher’s license, up from only a handful in the 1980s. Alternative cert
A. Schools now have more male than female teachers.
B. Non-whites account for 40% of Texas’s school teachers.
C. AC has turned a number of soldiers into teachers.
D. The percentage of teachers willing to work in inner city has risen.
