3、of over 55,000 adults in the United States for six to twenty-two years. About 24 percent of the adults described themselves _ runners. Compared to those who didnt run, those who did were 30 percent _ to die of any cause during the course of the study. These figures _ to take into account peoples smo

8、 by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. acceptB. individuallyC. destroyD. scheme E. uniqueF. absolutelyG. extraordinaryH. destruction I. presentJ. eventuallyK. pointThe common wisdom is that introverts and extroverts do not w
9、ork well together. This wisdom, as author Jennifer Kahnweiler makes clear in her new book, The Genius of Opposites, is 31 correct in the sense that cooperation is often going to be difficult, filled with battles and miscommunications, and sometimes deliberate 32 .Somehow, however, the introvert-extr
10、overt partnerships produced 33 results. The key to such success, according to Kahnweiler, is the five-step process at the heart of her book.The first step, Kahnweiler argues, is to 34 each others differences. If introverted and extroverted people want to partner, they have to realize they will never
11、 change the personality of the other person. Instead, each partner has to make a conscious effort to understand the other.The second step is that battles dont have to be avoided. Instead, they can be the means through which each partner is challenged by the other; resulting in solutions that are bet
12、ter than those that might have been developed 35 .The third step is to cast the character. Because there are two very different personalities in the partnership, partners should take on the roles that best fit their 36 personalities.Kahnweilers fourth step is to 37 the dislike. Two people with oppos
13、ite personalities must work on learning to respect and like each other as much as possible.The fifth and final step is that each cant offer everything. Introvert-extrovert consulting partnerships are often powerful because neither partner could offer customers all they wantbut the two partners worki
14、ng together are able to 38 a much more various but complementary product or service.For each step, Kahnweiler covers why that particular step is important. Also, Kahnweiler writes, a major conflict can actually be a turning 39 in the relationship, paving the way to a productive cooperation. However,
15、 battles can also deal fatal blows to introvert-extrovert cooperation. If partners dont bring out the obvious problems, the resultcan 40 destroy the partnership.The Genius of Opposites is filled with stories of conflicts, most resolved through an effort at communication and a foundation of respect.III.
