题目内容
6.Robert Frost was no longer young when he published his first book of poems,A Boy's Will,in 1913.Though born in San Francisco,the USA,he came from a New England family which returned there when he was ten.Like many other writers,he had a brief brush with college and then supported himself by trying different jobs.However,he had been brought up on a farm and he liked farming.Most of all,he liked to write but he could not support himself by writing.In his late 30s he moved to England,where he produced his first book.At the outbreak of World War I,Frost went back to farming in New Hampshire.From then on,although he made many journeys elsewhere,he considered the farm to be his home and farming activities became the focus of his poetry.
Frost's verses(诗,诗体) are a part of a great tradition,shaped by the Roman poet Vergil,whose poetry was mainly about farming.However,though he used farm situations in much of his poetry,he gave them a wide application.He might write about stepping on a rake(耙子) and describe the feeling when it hit him,but he used the incident to show how life gave us lessons.
Some talents in poetry are used up early,but not Frost's.He continued to publish fine poetry for fifty years.He reached the height of his popularity after World War II.If America had a national poet in the 20th century,it was Frost.He was chosen to read one of his poems at the inauguration(就职典礼)of the late President John F.Kennedy,the first poet ever so honored.

But those who are suffering from anxiety and depression caused by stress at work,relationships or financial problems tend to become computer addicts.Some people become addicted mainly because they feel bored with everything and feel like there is nothing else to do.
If one feels an intense desire to go online,play a computer game,or socialize as soon as he wakes up and before he goes to bed,he may have become an addict.Other symptoms include using the computer as the only source of entertainment,lying to his family and friends about the activities that he performs while on the computer.Some addicts possess anxious feelings when wanting to use the computer or knowing that time on the computer is limited.Others may lose track of time while on the computer and spend more time on it than intended.The computer can also be used as a form of escapism from reality.
Excessive computer use may result in the lack of face-to-face social interaction and an increasing amount of time and money on hardware,software and computer-related activities.Computer addiction makes one neglect his work,school,or family obligations.He often fails at repeated efforts to control computer use.So it's time to seek help for the sake of health.
Counseling (心理辅导) or therapy can focus on treating underlying mental health conditions that caused the addiction such as anxiety,depression,social trauma or other conditions.Many different options for group or community support are available to assist those addicts.Just getting out and interacting with others can be very rewarding to the computer addict.Another method is to focus on new interests.For instance,a computer user might take part in a new gym membership,spend time at the movies with friends or go out for a walk.If a computer user does feel that he must go onto the computer,consider talking himself out of the computer use unless it is absolutely necessary.If he does go on the computer,he must make a plan for what he will do when on the computer,how long it will take and what time you will be off of the computer.

Everyone loves a good listener.But there are more reasons to develop the skill of listening than to win hearts or popularity contests.
Listening heals hurts and builds bridges.It gives us the ability to understand and empathize,to view the world from our own point.It can bring us wisdom over and above mere intelligence.But most importantly,it allows us to give the people around us the gifts they crave (渴望) most-a sense of worth.
As it turns out,there's more to good listening than just keeping quiet and allowing someone to speak.Effective listening is actually a combination of two key communication skills:listening and verifying (确认).
Even when we've managed to hear a person's entire message,we often interpret it wrong-according to our own understanding,experience,or prejudice.
As an effective listener,your goal is to hear and absorb what another has to say…in exactly the way they mean it to be understood.Only then can you respond properly.
This is much easier read than done,so here are a few helpful tips:
1.Give the speaker your full attention.
Stop talking and remove all distractions.Turn off the TV,your phone,or computer.Watch your body language.The way you look at the speaker,or the way you stand or sit,makes a huge difference.The right listening body language communicates that we are listening openly and attentively,and puts the other person at ease.
2.Be patient.
Not everyone is a gifted speaker.Some people take longer to find the right word to make a point.Others are too worried to get their message across properly.If necessary,ask the speaker to explain further.It will help him/her speak more exactly and it will help you hear and understand better.
3.Keep your emotions in check.
If what someone is saying creates an emotional response in you,make an extra effort to listen carefully.When we're angry,frightened or upset,we often miss key parts of what is being said.
4.Hold your fire.
Don't jump to conclusions immediately.A good listener doesn't react until comprehension is complete.If you respond in a way that makes the other person defensive,even if you"win"the argument,you may lose something far more valuable.
5.Even if you think you understand,verify.
Never assume you got the message right.Pause,think about what was said,and then ask"Is this what you meant?"or"Am I understanding this right?"
6.Empathize
Take a moment to stand in the other person's shoes,to look at the situation from his/her point of view…especially when you're being told something personal or painful,or something you strongly disagree with.The more shoes you are able to successfully stand in within your life time,the less puzzled you'll find your life and relationships to be.
(66)Effects/Advantages/Benefits of good listening | (67)Healing hurts. Building (68)bridges. Allowing us to (69)understand and empathize,and viewing the world in an all-round way. Bringing us wisdom over and above mere intelligence. (70)Making the people around us feel worthy. |
Components of effective listening | ●Good listening consists of two key communication skills:(71)listening and verifying. |
(72)Ways/Tips to be a good listener | Listening to the speaker openly and (73)attentively. Trying to be a (74)patientlistener. Avoiding being affected by your emotions. Waiting before you take actions. Verifying. (75)Empathizing. |
