Unit 11 Conflict and Compromise 检测卷 一、完形填空 Since our twins began learning to walk, my wife and I have kept telling them that our sliding glass door is just a window. The 1 is obvious. If we 2 it is a door, they'll want to go outside constantly. It will drive us crazy. The kids apparently know the 3 . But our insisting it's 4 a window has kept them from 5 millions of requests to open the door. I hate lying to the kids. One day they'll 6 and discover that everything they've always known about windows is a 7 . I wonder if 8 should always tell the truth no matter the consequences. I have a very strong 9 that the lie we're telling is doing spiritual damage to our children. Windows and doors have 10 metaphorical(比喻) meanings. I'm telling them they can't open what they absolutely know is a door. What if later in life they come to a metaphorical door, like an opportunity(机会) of some sort, and 11 opening the door and taking the opportunity, they just 12 it and wonder, "What if it isn't a door " That is, "What if it isn't a 13 opportunity " Maybe it's an unreasonable fear. But the 14 is that I shouldn't lie to my kids. I should just accept repeatedly having to say, "No. We can't go outside now.''

Switch out “no” for “later” If you’re just starting out, you don’t have to jump straight to “no”. 16 . But saying later is much easier. Make your default (预设) response to any request with “Let me get back to you later.”Don’t rely on your “laters” forever, because too many would make you unreliable in the long run.
