How to be a Good Listener

Being a good listener can help you see the world through the eyes of others.

　1　 Good listening skills can provide you with a deeper level of understanding about someone’s situation. If you want to know how to be a good listener, read on to get started.  

Place yourself in other people’s shoes.  It’s easy to only consider the impact of the other person’s “telling” on you. But you must open out and look at the problems from the other person’s view. 　2　 

Avoid comparing the person’s experiences to your own. You may think that the best thing you can do to really listen is to compare the person’s experiences to your own. But this type of thinking actually makes the person feel like you’re not really listening at all. 　3　 That means that you’re focusing more on yourself than on the person’s situation.  

　4　 Some people think that, when they’re listening, they should find a quick and easy solution to the person’s problem. According to the research, it is totally wrong to do so. Instead focus on absorbing everything the person is saying to you. Only after that can you really try to help.  

Know what not to do. Knowing what to avoid when you’re trying to be a good listener can be almost as helpful as knowing what to do. If you want the speaker to take you seriously you’d better not interrupt in the middle of a point. 　5　 Make eye contact with the person so that he or she realizes that you are listening with interest.  

A. Don’t try to help immediately.

B. Avoid saying “I” or “me” a lot.

C. Try to solve the person’s problem quickly.

D. Don’t try to change the subject even if it’s a little uncomfortable.

E. If so, you would see your way through the problems much faster.

F. Therefore,  you’d better listen to what the person is saying carefully.

G. It enriches your understanding and expands your capacity for empathy (共情).

VI.阅读理解

　　 People love to celebrate. Whether it’s a birthday or a wedding, we enjoy having a reason to relax and have a good time. This is especially true for festivals that welcome spring and summer. Here are some celebrations you may not know about.

Carabao is a buffalo(水牛) found in the Philippines, and the Carabao Festival is a day of dancing and revelry(狂欢)in May that celebrates the strong animal that plays such an important role in Filipinos farming economy. The animals are cleaned before a parade in which 20 or more of them—many decorated with paint and colorful ribbons—walked through the streets.

Cooper’s Hill is a steep, grassy knoll (小山) near Gloucester, England, which is longer than a football field. Cooper’s Hill is a late May event in which participants race one another to beat a nine-pound cheese round to the bottom of the hill. The event attracts lots of contestants but it is harder than it sounds. Lots of contestants bite the dust before they reach the finish line. The winner gets the cheese.

The Boryeong Mud Festival takes place each summer near Seoul, South Korea. Tons of mud is trucked from the Boryeong mud flats to a beach area near the event. People participate in lots of activities, including a mud pool, mud skiing and mudslides. By the time the celebration is over, anyone coated in soft or dried mud can take a short walk to the beach for a quick bath.

La Tomatina is an organized tomato fight that takes place in Bunol, Spain, every August. The festival’s origins are unclear, but that hasn’t lessened anyone’s enthusiasm. The battle lasts for about an hour, and participants have to throw squashed(挤烂的) tomatoes to reduce the risk of injury. After the fight, both the people and the streets are covered with tomato guts. Fire trucks then begin the difficult task of washing everything.

1. In which celebration can people compete with each other?

A. The Carabao Festival.              B. Cooper’s Hill Cheese-rolling Festival.

C. The Boryeong Mud Festival.        D. La Tomatina Festival.

2. When will you go if you want to participate in La Tomatina?

A. In May.    B. In March.    C. In July.   D. In August.

3. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. An unforgettable celebration.                      B. Exciting activities.

C. Different customs of celebrations.                  D. Different festivals in Asia.

七选五

【答案】1-5  GEBAD

【解析】本文就如何成为一位好的聆听者向读者提供了四条建议。

1. 选G。由上文Being a good listener can help you see the world through the eyes of others. (做一个好的倾听者可以帮助你透过别人的眼睛看世界)可知, 此处承接上文, G选项“它增强了你的理解力及共情能力”符合题意。该选项中的it对应上文中的being a good listener。故选G。

2. 选E。由上文But you must open out and look at the problems from the other person’s view. (但是你必须敞开心扉, 从别人的角度看问题)可知, E选项“如果是这样, 你会更快地找到解决问题的方法”与上文谈到的换位思考相承接。故选E。

3. 选B。本段主要讲的是避免把他人和自己的经历作比较, 本空是细节句, 空后That means that you’re focusing more on yourself than on the person’s situation. (这意味着你更关注自己而不是别人的处境)中的That是对空处内容的指代, 由此可推断出, 为了与下文中的that呼应, 所填空应为“避免经常说‘我’。”故选B。

4. 选A。本空是本段的主题句, 本段提到, 有些人认为, 当他们在听的时候, 他们应该找到一个快速简单的方法来解决这个人的问题。根据研究, 这样做是完全错误的, 由此可知, 本段主要叙述“不要急于想对策”。A选项“不要急于提供帮助”符合题意。

5. 选D。由空前If you want the speaker to take you seriously you’d better not interrupt in the middle of a point. (如果你想让说话者认真对待你, 你最好不要中途打断)可知, D选项“不要试图改变主题, 即使它让人有点不舒服”意义一致, 符合逻辑。

阅读理解

1.【答案】C

【解析】推理判断题。第三段提到, “这项活动吸引了许多参赛者, 但它比听起来要难得多。许多参赛者在到达终点线之前就已经放弃了。获胜者得到奶酪。”由此可知, 在Cooper’s Hill Cheese-rolling Festival庆祝活动中人们可以互相竞争。

2.【答案】D

【解析】细节理解题。最后一段第一句可知, La Tomatina是每年八月在西班牙布诺尔举行的一场有组织的西红柿大战。”由此判断, 如果你想参加La Tomatina, 你应该八月去。

3.【答案】C

【解析】标题归纳题。根据第一段中This is especially true for festivals that welcome spring and summer. Here are some celebrations you may not know about. “对于那些迎接春夏的节日来说尤其如此。这是一些你可能不知道的庆祝活动。”由此可知, 这篇文章的最佳标题是“Different customs of celebrations. ”

语法填空

【解析】本文讲述中国新年的有关情况和庆祝新年的一些习俗。

1. which。考查定语从句。句意: 中国新年, 始于中国农历的第一天, 被认为是中国最重要的节日。______starts on the first day of the Chinese lunar calendar是非限制性定语从句, 修饰先行词Chinese New Year, 指物, 故填which。 

2. is known。考查时态和语态。it指代Chinese New Year, 和谓语动词know之间为被动关系, 应用被动结构; 全文叙述现在的情况, 是一般现在时, 因此用一般现在时的被动语态。短语be known as 作为……而为人所知。故填is known。

3. of。考查固定短语。句意: 春节始于新月初。短语at the beginning of 在……的开始, 故填of。

4. lasts。考查时态。句意: 它通常持续一个月左右, 直到元宵节。last是谓语动词, 和主语it之间为主动关系; 全文叙述现在的情况, 是一般现在时。故填lasts。

5. Traditionally。考查副词。句意: 按传统, 在庆祝春节期间, 将装有钱的红包作为礼物。修饰整个句子, 用副词, 故填Traditionally。

6. started。考查时态。句意: 然而, 这个传统什么时候开始的还不知道。主语从句中start是谓语动词, 和主语the tradition之间为主动关系; “传统何时开始”是过去的事情, 应用一般过去时, 故填started。

7. writer。考查名词。句意: 一位作者在一个网站上分享了以下的故事。作主语, 应用名词, 根据句意, 应为“作者”, 故填writer。

8. bamboos。考查名词复数。句意: 一位老人把许多竹子扔进火里, 从一个可怕的怪物手中救了一个小镇。many和名词复数形式连用; bamboo的复数直接加s。故填bamboos。

9. a。考查冠词和固定短语。句意: 因此, 中国人在中国新年庆祝活动中就燃放烟花爆竹。固定短语as a result“由于……的结果, 因此”, 故填a。

10.to avoid。考查非谓语动词。句意: 中国人在中国新年庆祝活动中燃放烟花爆竹, 以驱除过去的邪恶的亡灵。根据句意, 用动词不定式作目的状语, 意为“为了驱除”, 故填to avoid。

写作和范文欣赏-道歉信

道歉信是指因过失或疏忽等做错了事，给别人带来了麻烦或损失，发觉后给对方赔礼道歉并请求对方原谅的信件。通常包括以下三部分内容：

1. 开门见山，表明写信目的：表示歉意；

2. 说明出现差错的原因，提出弥补措施；

3. 再次致歉，请求原谅，希望得到理解(语言要诚挚，解释的理由要真实)。

【范文】

Dear Bob,

I am writing to make an apology to you for I forgot to return a music CD which I borrowed from you last week. Yesterday I came back from England and found it in my luggage. I am so sorry that you cannot listen to it at present.

The CD which I borrowed from you is made in England, so I believe you can find another one in your local store. How about your buying another CD by yourself and I will pay for it? If you cannot find a similar one, I would send it back to you through a post office. And if there are any other solutions you like, please let me know.

I am terribly sorry again for my carelessness. Please forgive me for any inconvenience caused.

Looking forward to your reply.

 Yours sincerely,

Li Hua
