When I was a teenager, my dad did everything he could to advise me against becoming a brewer（啤酒制造者）．He didn’t even want me anywhere near a vat（酿酒用的桶）．So I did as he asked．I got good grades and went to Harvard．
In the second year, I began to realize that I’d never done anything but go to school．So, at 24 I decided to drop out （辍学）for some time．Obviously, my parents didn’t think this was a great idea．But I felt strongly that one can’t wait till he is 65 to do what he wants to in life．Having worked for 2 years, I went back to Harvard to continue my study．
After graduation, I got a highly-paid job in Boston．After working there five years, I wondered, “Is this what I want to be doing when I’m 50?” At that time, Americans spent good money on beer in low quality．Why not make good beer for Americans? I thought．
I decided to quit my job to become a brewer．When I told Dad, he was astonished, but in the end he supported me．Six weeks later, at the Great American Beer Festival, my Sam Adams Boston Lager（淡啤酒） won the top prize for American beer．In the end I was destined（注定） to be a brewer．My advice to the young is simple: decide by yourselves not your seniors what you should do for a life when you are young．

The author tells us that he became successful in his life by making decisions by himself in spite that his decisions didn’t agree with his father’s, which is advice for the young．
It can often be seen that parents force their children to do what they expect them to for a life．However, this may often lead to conflicts between children and parents, sometimes even unfortunate consequences．As is known, anything the children decide to do when they are young will generally be their lifelong careers．If parents’ advice is against their ambitions or interests, they may be failures without the sense of achievement．Therefore, if parents care about their children’s future success and happiness, please respect their ambitions and choices．
But do you think it needs communication and proper tactics to make your parents to respect your choice and ambition? Here is an example in my life．When I was about to graduate from junior school, one of my friends, who loved auto engineering, decided not to go to high school, but go to a vocational to learn auto engineering．His parents were terribly against his idea．One evening, he sat by his father and asked a question what would increase fastest in the future 10 years．His father realized what he wanted to say after giving him the answer．They talked about cars and car repairing for hours．His parents eventually agreed with him and supported his choice．From the above, we can draw a conclusion that if you try to solve the problem by communication and proper tactics to make your parents understand your decision, they will respect your choice and ambition．
阅读下面的短文，然后从A-F选项中，为每一小段选择合适的标题, 并把答案写在答案卷上。

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.
