Because conflict and disagreements are part of all close relationships， couples need to learn strategies for managing conflict in a healthy and constructive way. Some couples just 16 and deny the presence of any conflict in a relationship. 17， denying the existence of conflict results in couples 18 to solve their problems at early 19， which can then lead to even greater problems later 20. Not surprisingly， expressing anger and disagreement leads to lower marital （婚姻的） satisfaction at the beginning. However， this pattern of behavior 21 increases in marital satisfaction over time. Research suggests that working 22 conflicts is an important predictor of marital satisfaction.
So， what can you do to manage conflict in your own relationships？ First， try to understand the other persons point of view 23 put yourself in his or her place. People who are 24 to what their partner thinks and feels 25 greater relationship satisfaction. For example， researchers found that among people in dating relationships 26 marriages， those who can adopt their partners perspective show more positive 27，more relationshipenhancing attributes（特质） and more constructive responses 28 conflict.
Second， because conflict and disagreements are an 29 part of close relationships， people need to be able to apologize to their partner for wrongdoing and 30 forgiveness from their partners for their own acts. Apologies minimize conflict， lead to forgiveness， and serve to restore relationship closeness. In line 31 this view， spouses （配偶） who are more forgiving show higher mental 32 over time. Increasingly， apologizing can even have 33 health benefits. For example， when people reflect on hurtful 34 and grudges （怨恨），they show negative physiological （生理的） effects， including 35 heart rate and blood pressure， compared to when they reflect on sympathetic perspective—taking and forgiving.
16. A. abandonB. avoid
C. regretD. solve
17. A. BesidesB. Therefore
C. MoreoverD. However
18. A. failingB. declining
C. tryingD. striving
19. A. agesB. years
C. stagesD. intervals
20. A. byB. on
C. offD. away
21. A. prescribesB. opposes
C. provesD. predicts
22. A. roundB. through C. amongD. across
23. A. soB. while
C. butD. and
24. A. sensitiveB. superior

Once again this year， like last， I have the honor of recommending a selection of books for the TED Bookstore. Below are this years picks， along with the original text that appears on the bookstore cards and the introduction.
1. TINY BEAUTIFUL THINGS
When a journalist by the name of “Dear Sugar” introduced herself on The Rumpus on March 11， 2010， she made her suggestions clear： a “bythebook common sense of Dear Abby and the low quality of Cary Tennis and the rudeness of Dan Savage and...” But in the twosome years that followed， she went on to deliver something brief， more honest， more profound（深刻的）. Collected in Tiny Beautiful Things： Advice on Love and Life from Dear Sugar， one of the best psychology and philosophy books of 2012， is her wholehearted wisdom on lifes trickiest contexts—sometimes the simplest， sometimes the most complex， always the most deeply human.
2. BIG QUESTIONS FROM LITTLE PEOPLE
The questions children ask are often so simple， so basic， that they turn unclear yet profound philosophy into requiring applepiefromscratch type of answers. To explore this simplicity and expansiveness， Elwin Harris asked thousands of primary school children between the ages of four and twelve to send in their most restless questions， then invited some of todays most wellknown scientists， philosophers， and writers—including TEDsters like Alain de Botton， Mary Roach， and Richard Dawkins—to answer them. The result is Big Questions from Little People
