问题     It’s nice to have people of like mind around. Agreeable people boost your confidence and allow you to relax and feel comfortable. Unfortunately, that comfort can hinder the very learning that can expand your company and your career.
    It’s nice to have people agree, but you need conflicting perspectives to dig out the truth. If everyone around you has similar views, your work will suffer from confirmation bias(偏颇).
    Take a look at your own network. Do your contacts share your point of view on most subjects? If yes, it’s time to shake things up. As a leader, it can be challenging to create an environment in which people will freely disagree and argue, but as the saying goes-. From confrontation comes brilliance.
    It’s not easy for most people to actively seek conflict. Many spend their lives trying to avoid arguments. There’s no need to go out and find people you hate, but you need to do some self-assessment to determine where you have become stale in your thinking. You may need to start by encouraging your current network to help you identify your blind spots.
    Passionate, energetic debate does not require anger and hard feelings to be effective. But it does require moral strength. Once you have worthy opponents, set some ground rules so everyone understands responsibilities and boundaries. The objective of this debating game is not to win but to get to the truth that will allow you to move faster, farther, and better.
    Fierce debating can hurt feelings, particularly when strong personalities are involved. Make sure you check in with your opponents so that they are not carrying the emotion of the battles beyond the battlefield. Break the tension with smiles and humor to reinforce the idea that this is friendly discourse and that all are working toward a common goal.
    Reward all those involved in the debate sufficiently when the goals are reached. Let your sparring partners(拳击陪练)know how much you appreciate their contribution. The more they feel appreciated, the more they’ll be willing to get into the ring next time.  
What advice does the author give to people engaged in a fierce debate?
选项 A、They listen carefully to their opponents’ views.
B、They show due respect for each other’s beliefs.
C、They present their views clearly and explicitly.
D、They take care not to hurt each other’s feelings.
答案D
解析 事实细节题。第六段第一句表明，激烈的辩论会伤害感情，下文提出建议：确保跟你的竞争对手说清楚，这样他们就不会在争论话题之外还带有争论时的情绪。用笑容和幽默打破这种紧张，并强化一种观念：这是一种友好的交流，而所有的一切都是朝着一个共同的目标前进。这一切的举动都是为了避免伤害彼此的感情，故答案为D)。
