A dog can't speak any words, but it can "talk". It has feelings just as you do. Sometimes it may feel angry or afraid. Watch a dog closely, and you can find out how it feels.

"A wise(聪明的)old owl sat on an oak. The more he saw, the less he spoke, the more he heard. Why aren't we like that wise old bird?"-Edward H. Richards.

We all need to learn to listen well. Listening is a learned skill, the same as speaking in public. It just takes much longer to learn! Listening is a skill we should be practicing every day.

Listening shows others that they are important. It's a sign of respect(尊重). If someone listens to you carefully when you are talking, it shows that they are really interested in what you are saying.

How do you practice listening? Here are some tips:

Put down whatever is in your hands. Are you in the middle of writing something? Put down the pen and start to listen. Are you reading something? Close it so that it will be impossible for you to look down and start reading again. Then put it down.

Face the person you are speaking with. Facing the person you are speaking with will help you listen more carefully. It will also make the person feel that you find what he is saying important.

Mind your body language. Standing towards the speaker will show interest. Looking around the room shows you have no interest. Looking that speaker in the eye tells him that he is important.

Listen completely. Do not start making comments(评论)after the first few words. Do not start thinking about your reply in your mind. Listen to the speaker carefully and try to understand what he is telling you.

1.The writer begins the article with Edward's words in order to _____ .

A.help show his ideas B.help show his interest

C.make readers speak D.make readers listen

2.The third paragraph is mainly about________.

A.the way of listening to people B.the way of showing respect to others

C.the importance of showing interest D.the importance of listening

3.Which of the following is NOT the tips of listening?

A.We should put down what we are doing. B.We should look the speaker in the eye.

C.We shouldn't mind our body language. D.We shouldn't make comments at once(立刻).

Maybe you know floods, earthquakes, sandstorms and so on. But have you heard of typhoons?

Typhoons are some of the worst storms, usually around the Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea. Most happen in July, August and September.

How does a typhoon happen? When lots of sea water gets hot in the summer sun, it evaporates（蒸发）into the air. This makes the air hotter. When the air gets warm enough, it starts to move higher up into sky. Then cooler air around it rushes in. It fills the space that is left. After the air gets warmer, it starts to move quickly, making wind. The wind goes in circles（圆圈）and it keeps moving higher in the sky. The warmer the air gets, the quicker the wind moves. And when the wind moves faster than 30 metres a second, a typhoon begins.

A typhoon has two parts, one is called the "eye". In the eye, the wind does not move so fast. The other part is the wall of clouds around the eye. Here are the strongest winds and hardest rains.

Typhoons are very dangerous. What shall we do when a typhoon hits?

● Stay inside. Close all the windows and stay away from them.

● Try to bring all of your things inside. Strong winds could even blow away your bikes!

● Listen to the radio or TV for important information. .

● If you're told to go to a safer place, do it right now.

1.This passage is most probably from_______.

A.an advertisement of a typhoon B.a travel record

C.a weather report D.a science magazine

2.Typhoons often happen_______.

A.in the hot season B.in the cold season C.all over China D.under the sea

3.In which order（顺序）does a typhoon happen?

a. The wind moves fast enough, a typhoon starts.

b. The air moves quickly, making wind.

c. The sun makes sea water hot.

d. The air gets warmer.

The American book Who Moved My Cheese has been a best seller all over the world. It teaches people how to face changes in their lives. It is just for teens. The book tells us that when facing change in our life, like a new school or new friends, don’t be afraid. Use this change to make a better life.

The book gives an example of a change at school. A school is changing from having two terms to three terms because there are too many students. Several teens are talking about this. Most of them are unhappy and worried. But Chris is not. He laughs and tells a story about two mice, two“little people”and some cheese.

The four are in a maze(迷宫)looking for The cheese. Here, cheese means some thing important in life. But they find the cheese is gone. The mice realize that they can’t change what has happened and have to find more cheese. This means finding different dreams. The little people can’t do this. They are afraid of change so they find no cheese.

After Chris finishes the story, the friends understand one thing:to get more cheese, move in a new direction quickly. His friends understand how this can be used in the changes all teens face, such as doing well at school or feeling good about yourself.
