Listening is an important part of communication, and it is different from hearing. Being a good and
patient listener helps you not only solve many problems at work or home, but also see the world through
the eyes of others. 1 Though listening to other people may seem simple, doing it well takes efforts and
lots of practice.
Place yourself in the other person"s shoes. You must look at the problems from the other person"s
viewpoint and actively try to see his or her point of view. 2 Don"t tell him that if you would have been in
his or her shoes, you would have seen your way through the problem much faster.
Give all of your attention. Turn off cell phones. It may be the easier to arrange to talk somewhere nothing will disturb you. 3
4 Nodding your head means you hear what the speaker is saying, and will encourage him to
continue. Body language that is similar to the speaker will allow the speaker to relax and open up more.
Do not interrupt (打断) with what you feel or think about the topic being discussed. 75 Active listening
requires the listener to put aside his or her own opinions for a while, and let another person talk the
situation out and find his or her own way. |
A. In addition, you learn a lot from listening.
B. Repeat some of the words said by the speaker.
C. Wait until another person asks for your opinion.
D. Follow and encourage the speaker with body language.
E. When you look at the person you are listening to, look into his eyes.
F. It is not a good idea to consider yourself to be smarter than the speaker.
G. Quiet your mind and open yourself to whatever the person might have to say. |

The house was quiet at 5 a.m. and Tim"s mother was asleep. Only the sound of the big freezer broke
the quiet. He"d dreamt of the cave last night? The purring (轻微颤动声) of the freezer had been the sea.
Tim pulled on a sweater and put some apples into his schoolbag. It was too early for breakfast. He"d
eat after he"d been through the cave, sitting on the rocks and staring at the sea.
He wished he had a proper pack. His schoolbag would have to do. What else? Sandwiches -but his
mother might wake up if he started pulling out bread for sandwiches. She"d want to know why he had to
leave so early. He settled for some biscuits, and left a note stuck to the table.
Gone to Michael"s. Back tonight. Tim.
The sky was high and soft and light outside, though the sun still wasn"t up. Even the highway up the hill
was quiet as he made his way down the street. The wind from the sea was fresh and sweet.
The sandhills still breathed heat from yesterday"s sun, though the top of the sand was cool. He ran
down to the beach impatiently, but there was no one, just dry sand dancing in the early wind and seabirds marching up and down watching the waves.
The light changed suddenly. The first rays of sunlight stretched across the sea. The sun was pushing its
way over the edge of the world
Over the first rocks, along to the point. Tim glanced back. The beach was still empty. The sun sailed
higher in the sky.
He could see the cave now, even darker in the morning light. The sand turned silver then dark gold as
the water flowed away from it. He had to force himself to go closer. Why was it so much more mysterious now? But it would be silly to go back now after so much trouble. He needn"t go in all the way... |

"Our aim is to take our art to the world and make people understand what it is to
move," said David Belle, the founder of parkour (跑酷).
Do you love running? It is a good exercise, yet many people find it boring. But what if making your
morning jog a creative one? Like jumping from walls and over gaps, and ground rolls? Just like the
James Bond in the movie Casino Royale? Bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill and then runs
several blocks over obstacles on the way. It is just because of Bond"s wonderful performances that the
sport has become popular worldwide.
Yes, that"s parkour, an extreme street sport aimed at moving from one point to another as quickly as
possible, getting over all the obstacles in the path using only the abilities of the human body. Parkour is
considered an extreme sport. As its participants dash around a city, they may jump over fences, run up
walls and even move from rooftop to rooftop.
Parkour can be just as exciting and charming as it sounds, but its participants see parkour much more
than that.
Overcoming all the obstacles on the course and in life is part of the philosophy behind parkour. This is
the same as life. You must determine your destination, go straight, jump over all the barriers as if in
parkour and never fall back from them in your life, to reach the destination successfully. A parkour lover
said, "I love parkour because its philosophy has become my life, my way to do everything."
Another philosophy we"ve learnt from parkour is freedom. It can be done by anyone, at any time, anywhere in the world. It is a kind of expression of trust in yourself that you earn energy and confidence. |
| 1. Parkour has become popular throughout the world because of . |
A. its founder, David Belle
B. the film, Casino Royale
C. its risks and tricks
D. the varieties of participants |
| 2. The underlined word "obstacles" in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to" ". |
A. streets
B. objects
C. barriers
D. roofs |
| 3. Which of the following is the philosophy of parkour? |
A. Sports and extremes.
B. Excitement and popularity.
C. Dreams and success.
D. Determination and freedom. |

Michael Jackson, the American pop legend, died of a cardiac arrest (心脏骤停) in a Los Angeles
hospital, just weeks before he hoped to resurrect (复活) his four-decade long career with a series of
sold-out shows in London. The pop superstar was taken to the University of California at Los Angeles
medical centre last night, and doctors tried resuscitation (使苏醒,使复活) in the ambulance. He did not
regain consciousness and was reported dead about three hours later.

greatest all-around performer, a uniter of black and white music who shattered the race barrier on MTV. His 1982 album Thriller, which included the blockbuster hits Beat It, Billie Jean and Thriller is still the
best-selling album of all time, with over 50m copies sold worldwide.
The world famous entertainer had planned a series of 50 concerts in London from 12 July. Although

This booklet is designed to help you and your family plan for and survive a major earthquake. By
taking action to be prepared, you can lessen the impact of an earthquake on your family. Set aside
some emergency supplies, and teach your family what to do at home during and after a disaster. You
could be without help for up to 72 hours, so learn to cope for at least that long.
Movement of the ground is seldom the actual cause of death or injury. Most casualties (意外) result
from partial building collapse and falling objects and debris, like toppling chimneys, falling bricks, ceiling
plaster, and light fixtures. Many of these conditions are easily preventable.
Because earthquakes occur without warning, it"s important to take steps now to prepare, so that you
know what you can do and how to respond-constructive, protective action is possible.

We show an amazing tolerance for a form of pollution that is a growing problem: noise. Airplane traffic
is increasing by five percent a year. Urban noise is doubling every ten years. By air, land and sea, we are
facing an onslaught of noise that is threatening our ability to live in this world. We have granted ourselves
the right to make noise. But what about our responsibilities? Have we developed a sense of acoustic
responsibility?
The evidence suggests that we have not. Many people seem to believe they have an unlimited right to
make noise with cars and motorbikes, and with loud music at home and in the street. In some countries
measures have been taken to force people to make less noise. In Britain, for example, a law has been
passed preventing people from disturbing their neighbors with music at night.
It is widely accepted that we should deal with our rubbish in a responsible way. Noise is in reality a
particularly insidious form of rubbish. It destroys community life, pursues us into our homes, keeps us
from sleeping and is the cause of many stress-related illnesses, as well as hearing loss. Our acoustic
environment belongs to all of us. Everyone has the right to use it, but no one has the right to abuse it.
Let"s start using it responsibly. |
| 1. The underlined word "acoustic" in the first paragraph probably means _____. |
A. environment
B. pollution
C. sound
D. rubbish |
| 2. Which of the following statements is NOT correct? |
A. Nowadays everyone thinks it"s all right to make noise.
B. British law protects people from their neighbors" music at night.
C. The level of noise produced in cities is twice as high now as ten years ago.
D. Noise can sometimes cause hearing loss. |
| 3. The passage is probably written to _______. |
A. introduce acoustic responsibility
B. call for people to make less noise
