A passenger told an air hostess that he needed a cup of water to take his medicine when the plane just took off. She told him that she would bring him the water in ten minutes.
Thirty minutes later, when the passenger’s ring for service sounded, the air hostess flew in a flurry（慌了神）. She was kept so busy that she forgot to deliver him the water. As a result, the passenger was held up （耽误）to take his medicine. She hurried over to him with a cup of water, but he refused it.
In the following hours on the flight, each time the air hostess passed the passenger she would ask him with a smile whether he needed help or not. But the passenger never paid heed（理睬） to her. When he was going to get off the plane, the passenger asked the air hostess to hand him the passengers’ booklet (留言本). She was very sad. She knew that he would write down sharp words, but with a smile she handed it to him.
Off the plane, she opened the booklet, and cracked a smile, for the passenger put it, “On the flight, you asked me whether I need help or not for twelve times in all. How can I refuse your twelve sincere smiles?”

From where I stand, I am fully convinced that smiles play a significant role in our lives. To start with, a smile is a cure to one’s anxiety. Every time we are nervous or depressed, a smile will work very effectively in helping us to relax ourselves a bit and relieve the pressure. Besides, a smiling face never fails to cheer up those around us since it creates such an enjoyable and harmonious atmosphere that people in it are feeling ease and comfortable.
For me, the smile from my mother is the most beautiful one that I will always treasure in my life.
Once I failed in a math exam, which made me very sad. I had been crying for a whole afternoon for math was always my best subject. Knowing what had happened, mom came by my side, stroke my hair and comforted me gently. Without finding the slightest disappointment on her face, what I saw was mom’s sincere smile, the one telling me not to give up and encouraging me to go on fighting. Believe it or not, my mom’s smile had such magic power that I regained my confidence and did a much better job in the following exam.
As the old Chinese saying goes, a smile makes a person become younger. A smile costs none but means a lot. For your won goods and for others’, please have a smile.

A. The most common problem is a “wandering” mind B. Selective listening is also a mental barrier C. Listening isn’t an easy skill to master D. Attitude can also influence good listening E. Noise and background music makes listening more difficult F. Listening is also related to the level of the listener’s knowledge |
1._____________
Listening is not as easy as someone thought. Even good listeners may recall only fifty percent of what they hear. Retention, the ability to remember and recall information, decreases about twenty to twenty-five percent after a few days. So no matter how well you listen in class, you’re always going to have to refresh your memory before a test! Unfortunately, many people have poor listening habits, and little listening training. To improve your listening skills, it’s important to understand what causes poor listening.
2.___________
If you find it difficult to concentrate solely on what a speaker is saying, there’s a good reason. The mind processes information much faster than a speaker can speak. The brain can process over 500 words per minute, while the average speaker talks at a rate of 124 to 250 words per minute. That means the mind can hear what’s being said and can think about something else at the same time.
3.____________
If you have a negative idea about the speaker or the topic, you’ll find it difficult to listen attentively. Hostile or captive audiences often have more difficultly listening than do favorable or voluntary ones.
4.____________
If a speaker speaks “above the heads” of an audience, people find it difficult to concentrate. Speakers who use unfamiliar words or who use incomplete explanations make it more difficult to listen. Speakers who “speak down” to audiences, failing to acknowledge what the audience already knows, also create mental blocks.
5.___________
When people listen selectively, they simply block out what they don’t want to hear. For instance, many people have habits that are dangerous to their health, like smoking. However, they often choose to block out what a speaker says about health risks. They may listen to a speech and think that the speaker’s message applies to other people, not them. In other words, they hear what they want to hear and ignore what they don’t want to hear.
