Everyone can benefit from better communication. 1.Of course, we know that isn’t true, but this shouldn’t stop you improving your communication skills. Here are a few tips to help you become a better communicator.

2.

Verbal (口头的) language is only one part of the communication — body language is another. If you ever wanted to know how to tell if someone is lying, body language is the answer. Your body language tells other people what you aren’t verbally saying, such as if you are anxious, confident, confused, angry or any other type of emotion or state of mind. If you become great at reading body language, it will help you become a better communicator.

Listen to others

Before you ever begin to speak, take a minute to see if anyone else has something to say. 3. Listening to others has many benefits, such as allowing you to learn new things or get information that you may later need.

Think before you speak

Your parents probably told you this as a child, but many people still do not take a moment to think about the words they are about to say. 4. There is a time and place for all words and tones of voice.

5. You will have to practice your communication skills before you can ever become an excellent communicator.

A. To become a better communicator is not an overnight thing.

B. Singing a song for them is good.

C. Become fluent in body language.

D. Don’t try to make the conversation go your way.

E. You should decide what you want to get in a conversation before you choose your words.

F. If you are too anxious, you can’t look for the right body language to use in communication.

G. In fact, if everybody were excellent communicators, the world would be a much better place.

As anyone who freelances(做自由职业) knows, there are lots of advantages of working at home alone. But there are drawbacks too, like the potential loneliness. No wonder co-working spaces are becoming so popular: they permit self-employed individuals to feel like they are part of all office environment, while making them get some work done too. But renting a co-working space does cost money.

Now a Swedish project is aiming to change that by turning people’s under-used homes into temporary co-working spaces, available to freelancers for free. Hoffice was started by freelancers Christofer Gradin Franzen and Johline Zandra about a year ago in Stockholm when they invited a few people into their home office to work together. It was a great success, and the project has since spread to a number of cities in Europe, North and South America, Australia, India and Japan. Anyone can sign up and offer their home space as a free co-working space, or go find a Hoffice near them.

On a Hoffice day, everyone arrives and starts work at a certain hour. After 45 minutes, everyone gets up to take a break, stretch, do qigong or yoga for 10 to 15 minutes. Afterwards, people can gather around again, and re-state their intentions and goals for the rest of the work day, as a way to motivate each other. Meals can be eaten together at a certain hour, potluck-style(家常饭)or by bringing your own lunch.

This process creates an encouraging and supportive work environment. As some freelancers describe, “By working at Hoffice, we give ourselves and each other the gift to spend our days in a social working environment, where we are extremely productive without ignoring our other human needs. We also make sure to give us and each other what we need to feel calm, happy, inspired and creative during the working day.”

So Hoffice is not just about sharing space; it's also about a free exchange of ideas. And perhaps the best thing is that Hoffices are free to use.

13.The  internet will open up new vistas (前景),creat the global village--you can make new friends all around the world.That,at least,is what it promised us.The difficulty is that
    It did not take the human mind into account.The reality is that we cannot keep relationship than a limited number of people.No matter how hard the internet tries to put
    You in communication,its best efforts will be defeated by your mind.
    The problem is twofold(双重的).First,there is a limit on the number of people we can hole in mind and have a meaningful relationship with.That number is about 150and is set by the size of our brain.Second,the quality of your relationships depends on the amount of time you invest (投入) in then.We invest a lot in a small number of people and then distribute what's left among as many others as we can.The problem is that if we invest little time in a person,our engagementwith that person will decline (减弱)until eventually it dies into"someone I once knew".
    This is not,of course,to say that the internet doesn't serve a socially valuable function.Of course it does.But the question is not that it allows you to increase the size of your social circle to include the rest of the world,but that you can keep your relationships with your existing friends going even though you have to more to the other side of the world.
     In one sense,that's a good thing.But it also has a disadvantage.If you continue to invest in your old friends even though you can no longer see then,then certainly you aren't using your time to make new friends where you now live.And I suspect that probably isn't the best use of your time.Meaningful relationships are about being able to communicate with each other,face to face.The internet will slow down the rate with which relationships end,but it won't stop that happening eventually.

72.What is stressed in the first paragraph?D
A.The present situation of the internet.
B.The difficulty in communication on the internet.
C.The socially valuable function of the internet.
D.The role of the human mind in the internet communication.
73.The underlined word"engagement"in the second paragraph probably means"B".
A.appointment   B.connection   C.interview    D.agreement
74.According to the passenger,the author holds the view thatA.
A.the internet fails to play so valuable a role in communication as it promised
B.the internet determines the quality of social relationships
C.the internet greatly increases the size of social circles
D.the internet communication is no less effective than the face-to-face talk
75.What is the author's attitude towards the use of the internet to strengthen relationships?D
A.He is uncertain about it.  B.He is hopeful of it.
C.He approves of it.         D.He doubts it.
