The parties remain the decision makers in the process, and the mediator assists in keeping
17、 the channels of communication open, guiding the parties in the process of identifying and resolving each issue separately, and preparing a final agreement. Although for many years the use of mediation has been a common means of resolving noncommercial disputes, it is increasingly being used in the
18、business and international arenas.The focus of mediation is on the future relationship of the parties. The process is intended to allow the parties to repair and then build a more durable relationship that will hopefully continue to their mutual benefit. Often, mediation results in a compromise by b
19、oth parties, and they both come out winners.The process is informal, relatively easy and fast, and less costly than arbitration or trial. It is also non-binding and voluntary, so that the parties can be less concerned about fighting for their rights and more constructive in protecting their interest
20、s. Another advantage of mediation is that it is confidential; information revealed during the process and any agreement made will not be on the public record.The parties typically choose a mediator or are referred to mediation by a court before litigation is pursued. A mediator may meet with the par
21、ties separately to identify and clarify the issues and hold joint sessions to assist them in arriving at an agreement. Sessions will be devoted to improving communication between the parties and guiding them toward their own solution. A mediator may develop solutions and recommend to the parties but
22、 will not impose a settlement on the parties. If no agreement is reached, the mediator will not decide in favor of one party. Rather, the mediation will simply be unsuccessful.（ ）1.According to the passage, how many things the mediator can do to facilitate the process of mediation?A. TwoB. Three C.

A judge will sometimes proposes that disputing parties solve their issues through mediation instead of litigation.C. A mediator will decide in favor of one party
26、only when agreement is reached. D. In order to make mediation successful, a mediator will demand that the parties accept a settlement he has made.Passage TwoEmployees of SAS Institute live in a workers Utopia.

34、 the companys culture that no one will be expected to work more than, say, 40 hours a week on average.
