Do you know how to get on well with people？Do you ever feel shy？What situation makes you feel shy？Do you sometimes feel that you don't know how to interest people and have conversations with them？Do people find an excuse to leave you as soon as they can？

Try listening! Here is an example of mine．

One evening last week，I was sitting with Hannah，and she said to me， "You are a great mom!" And I said， "Why do you say that suddenly？" She said， "Well，although you are always busy，you always stop to listen to me．"

Here is some advice about listening：

※ Show the other person that you are listening．

※ Look at them．

※ Smile and nod quite often．

※ Shake your head or raise your eyebrows if you don't follow what they are saying．

※ Don't tap your foot because this will show impatience．

※ Don't look at your watch unless you really have to know the time．If you show the impatience，then the other person won't make friends with you any more．

A good listener has magic! A good listener can make people feel good，and is as important as a good talker at a party．But just listening is not enough．One should listen smartly by trying to find out what the other person would really like to communicate．

Globalization means that people，ideas，technology，money，services and many other things are moving between countries and changing the way people think and act.

Not everyone thinks the same way about globalization. Some people think it is bad，and some people think it is good. Some believe that globalization helps rich people get richer and makes poor people poorer. These people say that globalization helps big companies like Coca﹣Cola and McDonald's destroy（破坏） local businesses. However，the people who think globalization is a good thing argue that globalization helps poorer people to become richer. They also think that it doesn't destroy local cultures. These people also believe globalization helps prevent wars. This is because countries with economic（经济的） connections will try hard to keep good relationships so that their economies aren't，destroyed.

Whether you think globalization is good or bad，it affects the world in two areas：jobs and cultures.

Globalization has had a very strong influence on jobs all over the world. For some workers，such as engineers，lawyers and bankers，globalization has been a good development. These workers are able to successfully compete globally and have seen an increase in their pay. But for those who work in factories or in the service industry（at hotels，shops and restaurants），it has not been good. Workers from poorer countries are trying to get these types of jobs. They will do the same job for less money. This lowers the pay for that job，so people get paid less to do it.

Cultures have also been affected by globalization. Foods such as Japanese noodles，Indian curry and French cheeses have spread. Around the world. We can also see an increase in the use of Chinese characters（汉字） in tattoos（文身）. Some people get these tattoos but they don't really know what the characters mean. Globalization also influences the film industry. Most people have seen American movies. But because of globalization，Korean，Indian and Japanese movies have become more worldwide.

No one knows the future of globalization. Most experts agree that it will continue to grow and have an increasingly greater influence on people's lives in the future.

（38）Why do some people think globalization is good？     

A. Because they think globalization may change local cultures.

B. Because they think globalization may help local business develop.

C. Because they think globalization may make rich people become richer.

D. Because they think globalization may help stop wars among countries.

（39）Which is true according to Paragraph 4？     

A. Engineers will get a low pay

B. People can get favourite jobs more easily

C. Globalization greatly influences people's jobs

D. Workers from rich countries get paid less

（40）Which is the advantage of globalization？     

A. It helps people in the world know Chinese characters very well.

B. It makes people in the world go to different countries for movies easier.

C. People in the world will own the same culture in the end.

D. People in the world can enjoy foods from different countries.

（41）What can we learn from the passage？     

A. Globalization is sure to do good to people.

B. Globalization will be limited in the future.

C. Globalization may ，change people's lives in the future.

D. Globalization will be loved all over the world.
