A man was complaining to his friend about his wife’s nagging (唠叨). He said, “All my wife does is talk, talk, talk, talk.” His friend asked, “Well, what does she talk about?” He answered, “I don’t know. She didn’t say!” You would think that with two ears and one mouth, we’d all be twice as good listeners as talkers! But not so. Research shows that we usually listen to only 20% of what others say to us. But good listening is one of the easiest and most important ways to be successful — whether it’s in our job and career, our marriage, with our children, or with our friends.

It’s interesting that even though we can’t actually shut our ears, we somehow still manage to. We only listen to what we want to. There are three important things we need to do when we listen to others.

The first is observation (观察). Use your eyes and look at them. It’s just common respect. Take your eyes off the TV, newspapers, or whatever else, and give the talkers your attention.

The second part of listening is concentration. When others are talking to us, we shouldn’t break in or just be thinking about what we want to say. Hear them out. Listen to everything they have to say and then say what we want to say.

The third and probably most important part of good listening is consideration. This means using your heart. Really care about what they are feeling or going through. Don’t just hear their words, but try to understand their feelings. People usually know if we’re really interested in or care about what they’re saying.

4. According to the author, most people________.

A. are not good listeners

B. don’t like those people who talk a lot

C. are good at talking rather than listening

D. are not successful because they don’t know how to listen

5. When we listen to others, we should___________.

A. pay attention only to what we want

B. try our best to remember their words

C. give our opinions after they finish talking

D. look at their eyes instead of their mouths

6. What is the main purpose of the passage?

A. To tell readers an interesting story.

B. To tell readers how to be good listeners.

C. To advise readers to care about others.

D. To show readers the importance of listening.

7. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?

C

Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.

Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact (接触) with the ground at all times. It’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.

Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says, According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories(卡路里) per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour.

However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.

As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport’s strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice.

8. Why are race walkers conditioned athletes?

A. They must run long distances.

B. They are qualified for the marathon.

C. They have to follow special rules.

D. They are good at swinging their legs.

9. What advantage does race walking have over running?

A. It’s more popular at the Olympics.

B. It’s less challenging physically.

C. It’s more effective in body building.

D. It’s less likely to cause knee injuries.

10. What is Dr. Norberg’s suggestion for someone trying race walking?

A. Getting experts’ opinions.

B. Having a medical checkup.

C. Hiring an experienced coach.

D. Doing regular exercises.

11. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to race walking?

A. Skeptical. B. Objective.

C. Tolerant. D. Conservative.

Dear Chen Lin ，

I'm very pleased to have you receive your e-mail. Knowing that you cannot get used to the senior high school life and study and you still have difficulty in learning English,now I am writing to give you some suggestions as follows.

First of all, you had better have a positive attitude towards your school life ,which makes you pleased every day. What’ s more，as we all know，classes are of great importance. You should listen to the teacher carefully and take notes in class，which can help you learn English easily. In addition，try to communicate with your classmates in English after class. In this way，you can improve your listening and spoken English quickly. Last but not least，you can also keep a diary，which helps you improve your written English and go over the words and expressions that you have learned.

    I hope my suggestions will be helpful and useful to you.

Yours

Li Hua
