UNIT 10 课时跟踪检测(四) 阅读写作融会练 Ⅰ.阅读理解 My family just got back from a wonderful vacation. It was 10 days of good food, great sun and beautiful beaches. One day nearly ruined our trip, though. I had caught a bad cold, and I was thinking about staying at home. But my wife had her heart set on the beach, and because we have three small children, I came along to help out. We arrived, and my wife was in heaven. I wasn't as enthusiastic. The sand wasn't nearly as soft as I like. And the surf was much rougher, which certainly didn't please my kids. As I kept comparing this beach to other ones, my mood deteriorated. I was about to get into another big argument with my wife when I remembered three little words：“disagree and commit”. It's a principle that encourages healthy discussion and disagreement during the decision­making process, but that requires full support for a decision once made. In the case of our vacation, I had agreed to let my wife pick the beach for the day. Because of my cold, I would have found something wrong with just about any beach. And complaining would have just made everyone else unhappy, too. So, I did the opposite. I looked for all the great things about the beach and voiced them out loud. And guess what? I survived those hours on the beach. In all our relationships, we're looking for support. Of course, good friends should be able to have healthy disagreements. But when it comes to making decisions, there are times when all the discussion in the world won't change another person's mind. When that happens, ask yourself, “Can I disagree and commit？” If you can, you'll show your partner you're willing to go all in and they'll do the same for you. I know it's saved my most precious relationships countless times over the years. And it's a major reason why after 11 years of marriage, three kids, and even the stress of a family vacation, the relationship between my wife and me is stronger than ever. 语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过讲述在一次海滩旅行时，因为自己情绪不好差点儿毁了家庭度假的事，谈论了在人际关
