24、Communication theory often stresses how speakers should present their material. However, listeners play the same important role. Some of them focus intently on the speaker, while others daydream or whisper to a neighbor. What makes these two kinds of listeners different? Generally speaking, effective listeners have discovered the benefits of paying close attention. Not having experienced the rewards of paying close attention, ineffective listeners continue to wonder why they can’t remember what they “heard” or why they do poorly on tests.
How do effective listeners manage to pay close attention? First of all, they avoid letting poor environments, like an uncomfortable seat, a personal problem, or the speaker’s manners, distract (使分心) them. Instead, they “tune out” anything that will keep them from understanding and remembering what they hear. After leaving a lecture or meeting, they remember what was said, not the room conditions or the poor delivery of the speaker. On the other hand, ineffective listeners who think they are paying attention to the message can be easily daydreaming.
In order to resist probable distractions, effective listeners actively but objectively focus on the message itself. They do not prejudge the speaker as representing an opposite viewpoint, nor do they prejudge the material as boring, too easy, or too difficult. Effective listeners accept the challenge of new ideas. To help themselves become actively concerned with the speaker’s message, effective listeners write down important words and phrases as a reminder of difficult ideas.
Ineffective listeners reject theoretical material; they may pretend to listen but daydream instead to avoid hearing what they don’t agree with or readily understand. Moreover, rather than dealing with meaning itself, ineffective but well-intentioned listeners might be so concerned with taking a lot of notes that they miss the speaker’s main idea. These listeners leave a speech or a class with a notebook full of words that are not connected by any conceptual framework and therefore mean little when referred to later for a test or other purposes.
Clearly, a certain amount of effort is concerned with listening actively, objectively, and openly to new ideas. But as that effort begins to pay off for ineffective listeners, they too will develop this skill as a beneficial lifelong habit.
【1】The underlined phrase “tune out” means ________.
A.deal with
B.think about
C.pick out
D.pay no attention to
【2】In order not to be distracted, effective listeners can do following things EXCEPT ________.
A.objectively focusing on the message
B.accepting the challenge of new ideas
C.trying to copy every word of the speaker
D.avoiding prejudging the speaker or the level of the material
【3】Which of the following statements is close to the writer’s opinion?
A.Listeners should accept the new ideas and write down important words.
B.Listeners can daydream to avoid hearing what they don’t understand.
C.Listeners will develop listening skills if they copy all the words the speaker said.
D.Listeners may remember what was said if they prejudge the speaker’s viewpoint.
【4】The main purpose of this passage is to ________.
A.point out the result of effective listening
B.discuss the methods which we used by a variety of listeners
C.explain the differences between effective and ineffective listeners
D.describe the listening habits of poor listeners
25、During all this time, I never stopped thinking about leaving. When I travelled across to the other side of the island, I could see the other islands, and I said to myself, “Perhaps I can get there with a boat. Perhaps I can get back to England one day.”
So I decided to make myself a boat. I cut down a big tree, and then began to make a long hole in it. It was hard work, but about six months later, I had a very fine canoe(独木舟). Next, I had to get it down to the sea. How silly I was! Why didn’t I think carefully before I began to work? Of course, the canoe was too heavy. I couldn’t move it! I pulled and pushed and tried everything, but it didn’t move. I was very unhappy for a long time after that.
In my sixth year on the island, I did make myself a smaller canoe, but I did not try to leave in it. The boat was too small for a long journey, and I did not want to die at sea. The island was my home now, and I was just happy to be alive. A year or two later, I made myself a second canoe on the other side of the island. I also built myself a second house there, and so I had two homes.
I kept food and tools at both of my houses, and also wild goats. There were many goats on the island, and I made fields with high fences to keep them in. They learned to take food from me, and soon I had goats’ milk to drink every day. I also worked hard in my corn fields. And so, many years went by.

27、It’s time for class meeting, and three children are talking about their most special days.
I’m Linda and I’m about 1. 71m high. When my mother took me to the zoo at my seventh grade, mother forgot to buy a ticket for me. As a result, the doorkeeper certainly didn’t allow me to get in.

My name is Eric and I am a ninth grader now. When I was in Grade 8, I met one of my classmates, Susan, one day. I greeted her “Hello” at once. However, she didn’t answer me and still went on her way. I ran and caught her, “Hello, Susan.” But she looked very surprised. Just then, a girl who looked similar to her came over to me, “Hello, Enc.” I realized I made a mistake and knew she was Sally. They looked the same a lot. | |
I’m Helen and I like drawing very much. Last year, while I was drawing a bird in a tree in a mountain, my cousin Maria came. She wanted to make fun of me and drew away the bird in the tree. When she ran to the tree, she realized it’s not a real tree. It’s a picture of mine. Till now, I often laugh with her when we think of it. She says I’m so good at drawing. |

28、 We sat on the swing (秋千)enjoying the warm summer air, truly without a care in the world. Cody, my 6-year-old son laughed, as he swung h【1】 than me. His laugh made me smile. Afterwards, we went for a walk. As we were walking, Cody looked up at me and said, “Today is the best day, isn't it?” T【2】 I didn't understand the meaning of his words, I still smiled at him and r【3】, “Yes, you're right.” I then started thinking about what we had done that day? We didn't really do anything s【4】. There was nothing we did that cost any money. It was just a c【5】 day.
But then, I found out my p【6】. So often, we wait for our “best days” without r【7】 that “today is our best day” or we say, “when I get this”, or, “if only this”, or, “when I have more money, I will...”, and we forget to live every day, to enjoy today. So often, we just wait for the “best days”. And the most terrible thing is that we are used to c【8】 the best thing with money.
We should be more like c【9】. They truly live in the moment! They don't need expensive things to make them happy and they can always enjoy the simple p【10】 in their life. There is a saying, “Carpe Diem” which means, “Seize the Day”. As we get older, we need to remember this saying and enjoy every day. Live each moment to its fullest!
