My husband and I insisted that our children were old enough to clean their rooms and make their beds. But they thought        . My complaints, even self-justified shouting, were always landing on        ears. Very often a whole hour’s scolding would end with their         into tears, I felt very frustrated. I realized I needed to        my method of “mothering”.
One day when they were at school, I spent some time       their rooms. On their desks, in plain         , I left the cards: “Dear Bill (the other card was        to Sarah), your room was messy this morning and I’m sure you like it clean. Love, the Room Fairy.”       arriving back, the children were        excited to receive the little note from the Room Fairy. The next day, their rooms were fairly tidy. Sure enough, there was another note from the Room Fairy _       for them, thanking them for their nice “gift” of a clean room and        asking them to play a certain violin            . Each day, thank--you notes would be written differently to keep the ideas         .
Sometimes the Room Fairy would propose a little        : “If you can finish your homework and           your lessons before dinner, I’ d like to watch a particular television program with you tonight.” Sometimes some colored markers or other little items would be left in         of well done jobs the day            .
         I can’t remember how long “the Room Fairy” continued leaving her love notes. When they were age appropriate, we used various versions of Post-Its(贴条). The bathroom mirror became the          centre of our home. Appointments, notices about visiting relatives, lesson schedules, and changes in plans could be posted.
We all benefited from and         the idea of sharing reminders and daily details of life through notes. I believe the true advantage of the Room Fairy notes survives in our frequent and enjoyable communication.

The question of whether war is inevitable is one which has concerned many of the world’s great writers. Before   36    this question, it will be useful to introduce some   37  concepts. Conflict, 38   as opposition among social units-or individuals-directed against one another, is 39 from competition, which    40   opposition among social units   41  seeking to obtain something which is   42   inadequate supply. Competitors may not know about one another, which those who   43  in a conflict do. Conflict and competition are both   44   of opposition. The meaning of opposition has been stated as a process by which social unit function in the disservice of one another, opposition is   45  contrasted to cooperation, a   46   by which social units function in the service of one another. These   47   are necessary because it is important to emphasize that    competition between individuals or groups is inevitable in a world of limited   48 , but conflict isn’t . Conflict, nevertheless, is very likely to occur and is probably an essential and desirable   49  of human societies.
Many authors have 50 their arguments that war cannot be avoided on the idea that in the struggle for existence among groups of animals, only those which are best 51 remain alive. In general, however, this struggle in nature is competition, not conflict. Those who fail in this competition 52 starve
to death or are 53 by other types of animals. This struggle for 54 is not similar to human war, but is like the competition of 55 for jobs, markets, and materials. The most important quality of this struggle is the competition for the necessities of life that are not enough to satisfy all.
