22、 A conversation with a good listener is like a good meal—we walk away feeling satisfied and happy. 【1】 Here are 4 ways to make your conversation partner feel like you’re fully tuned in to their personal radio station.
【2】
Making your conversation partner feel safe starts with two things: an open mind and keeping judgment to yourself. Just as immersing(沉浸)yourself in a novel requires suspension of disbelief, immersing yourself in listening requires suspension of opinions or advice. While judgments may appear into your head, set them to the side.
Ask questions to follow your natural curiosity.
When you’re interested, ask questions. 【3】 Ask for examples. Ask for details. Following your natural curiosity by asking questions not only shows you are listening and interested, but almost always produces an interesting story.
Listen with your whole body.
In many a kindergarten classroom, teachers emphasize something called “whole body listening”. It goes like this: use your eyes to watch nonverbal(非语言), your brain to think about what is being said, your heart to feel emotions» and keep the rest of your body quiet to show respect. But many of us lose it over time, especially as life gets busy. The result? We often try to multitask while listening. 【4】
Validate(使生效)with simple phrases.
Keep in your back pocket some validating words and phrases to show you’ve heard someone.
“Of course.” “That makes sense.” “Naturally.” “Clearly.” “For sure.” 【5】 In conversation, combining those little phrases: “Of course you feel that way.” or “That makes total sense.” doesn’t necessarily convey agreement, but it does convey something even bigger: acceptance.
A. Create safety.
B. Devote yourself to listening.
C. It’s appealing to talk about your own experience.
D. We half-listen while getting things done or staring at a screen.
E. Think like a journalist and ask what, when, where, why or how.
F. But being a good listener goes way beyond just not interrupting or nodding your head.
G. All of these statements confirm a person’s experience or feelings as worthy and accepted.
23、As you grow older, you’ll be faced with some challenging decisions—like whether to cut class or try cigarettes. Making decisions on your own is hard enough, but when other people get involved and try to pressure you one way or another it can be even harder. People who are your age, like your classmates, are called peers. When they try to influence how you act, to get you to do something, it’s called peer pressure.
Peers can have a positive influence on each other. Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system. Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book, and now everyone’s reading it. These are examples of how peers positively influence each other.
Sometimes peers influence each other in negative ways. For example, a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them; your soccer friend might try to convince you to be mean to another player and never pass him the ball.
It is tough to be the only one who says “no” to peer pressure, but you can do it. Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do.
You’ve probably had a parent or teacher advising you to “choose your friends wisely.” Peer pressure is a big reason why they say this. If you choose friends who don’t cut class, smoke cigarettes, or lie to their parents, then you probably won’t do these things either, even if other kids do.
If you continue to face peer pressure and you’re finding it difficult to handle, talk to someone you trust. Don’t feel guilty if you’ve made a mistake or two.

24、Researchers in the psychology department at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) have discovered a major difference in the way men and women respond to stress.This difference may explain why men are more likely to suffer from stress related disorders.
Until now,psychological research has maintained that both men and women have the same “fightorflight” reaction to stress.In other words,individuals either react with aggressive behavior,such as verbal or physical conflict (“fight”),or they react by withdrawing from the stressful situation (“flight”).However,the UCLA research team found that men and women have quite different biological and behavioral responses to stress.While men often react to stress in the fightorflight response,women often have another kind of reaction which could be called “tend and befriend.” That is,they often react to stressful conditions by protecting and nurturing their young (“tend”),and by looking for social contact and support from others—especially other females (“befriend”).
Scientists have long known that in the fightorflight reaction to stress,an important role is played by certain hormones(激素) released by the body.The UCLA research team suggests that the female tendorbefriend response is also based on a hormone.This hormone,called oxytocin,has been studied in the context of childbirth,but now it is being studied for its role in the response of both men and women to stress.The principal investigator,Dr.Shelley E.Taylor,explained that “animals and people with high levels of oxytocin are calmer,more relaxed,more social,and less anxious.” While men also secrete(分泌) oxytocin,its effects are reduced by male hormones.
In terms of everyday behavior,the UCLA study found that women are far more likely than men to seek social contact when they are feeling stressed.They may phone relatives or friends,or ask directions if they are lost.
The study also showed how fathers and mothers responded differently when they came home to their family after a stressful day at work.The typical father wanted to be left alone to enjoy some peace and quiet.For a typical mother,coping with a bad day at work meant focusing her attention on her children and their needs.
The differences in responding to stress may explain the fact that women have lower frequency of stressrelated disorders such as high blood pressure or aggressive behavior.The tendandbefriend regulatory(调节的) system may protect women against stress,and this may explain why women on average live longer than men.
【1】The UCLA study shows that in response to stress,men are more likely than women to ______.
A.turn to friends for help
B.solve a conflict calmly
C.find an escape from reality
D.seek comfort from children
【2】Which of the following is true about oxytocin according to the passage?
A.Men have the same level of oxytocin as women do.
B.Oxytocin used to be studied in both men and women.
C.Both animals and people have high levels of oxytocin.
D.Oxytocin has more of an effect on women than on men.
【3】What can be learned from the passage?
A.Male hormones help build up the body's resistance to stress.
B.In a family a mother cares more about children than a father does.
C.Biological differences lead to different behavioral responses to stress.
D.The UCLA study was designed to confirm previous research findings.
【4】Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A.How men and women get over stress
B.How men and women suffer from stress
C.How researchers overcome stress problems
D.How researchers handle stress related disorders

26、阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Maria was practicing with her soccer mates in a tiny school yard. They were all from River Edge Rockers, a soccer team of their community. Suddenly, the ball flew into a deep hole at the edge of the yard. It was the third time that they had lost their ball this month. Without the ball Maria had to wave goodbye to her mates and went home, depressed. Only there were a regulation soccer field!” she thought.
That evening, seeing her low spirits; her father asked, “What was the matter dear?”
“I was just thinking about playing in a brand-new soccer field!” Maria answered.
Her father smiled and said: “Tomorrow: a Town Council meeting is to be held to discuss about the use of that vacant(空着的) lot next to the pet store: Home for Pets. Why not take this opportunity to convince them we need a better field?”
The next day, with the company of her father Maria and her teammates went to the meeting hall. On their arrival they saw Councilwoman Jill and some citizens already there. They took their seats. After Jill announced the start of the discussion, Maria stood up and spoke first. “Up till now there is no soccer field in our community, which certainly affects our physical health Our team currently have to practice in a tiny school yard, and only when it’s not already booked.”
Mrs. Lorries, owner of the pet store, commented, “I couldn’t agree more. Kids do need such a field.” The Rockers applauded excitedly and the other citizens all agreed it would be a way out.
“A soccer field would be a good use for that lot with overgrown weeds and some large rocks, but to build such one would need a small sum of money and maybe you even need to do all the work on your own.” Councilwoman Jill smiled, “Can you manage it?”
Thinking for a while: Maria nodded with a determined look on her face, “The Rockers can do it! We will turn it into a soccer field.” The teammates all cheered.
