12.Many people think that listening is a passive business.It is just the opposite.Listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work.It is because they do not realize this,or because they are not willing to do the work,that most people do not listen well.
    Listening well also requires total concentration upon someone else.An essential part of listening well is the rule known as‘bracketing'.Bracketing(归入同一类) includes the temporary giving up or setting aside of your own prejudices(偏见) and desires,to experience as far as possible someone else's world from the inside,stepping into his or her shoes.Moreover,since listening well involves bracketing,it also involves(包括)a temporary acceptance of the other person.Sensing this acceptance,the speaker will seem quite willing to open up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener.True communication is under way and the energy required for listening well is so great that it can be accomplished(完成)only by the will to extend oneself for mutual growth.
    Most of the time we lack this energy.Even though we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well,what we are usually doing is listening selectively.Often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder,as we listen,how we can achieve certain desired results to get the conversation over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us.Many of us are far more interested in talking than in listening,or we simply refuse to listen to what we don't want to hear.
    It wasn't until toward the end of my doctor career that I have found the knowledge that one is being truly listened to is frequently therapeutic(有疗效的) In about a quarter of the patients I saw,surprising improvement was shown during the first few months of psychotherapy(心理疗法),before any of the roots of problems had been uncovered or explained.There are several reasons for this phenomenon,but chief among them,I believe,was the patient's sense that he or she was being truly listened to,often for the first time in years,and for some,perhaps for the first time ever.

14.Watching the Northern Lights shining on the sky's natural canvas may be on your list already,but be prepared to up the money.
A developer is creating a floating,snowflaked-shaped glass hotel from which guests can stare in fear at the Northern Lights from their beds.The project is called Krystall.Eighty-six luxury rooms will be covered within a glass structure alongside conference rooms and a spa(温泉),all of which is only accessible by boat.
The stationary (静止的) hotel will be built near in northern Norway reportedly between bays.It will be constructed,in pieces,in dry docks,before being fit together on location.
Explaining the physics and design of the hotel,Kone Olthuis,Dutch architect and founder of Waterstudio,a specialist in floating structures,said:"The floating base is very big and because of that also very stable.You will not notice any movement.Different to any vessel (舰)this hotel is a floating building and will not move.The shape provides most of the stability but cables are used to take away any speed."
"Same look and feel as a land based hotel but then on the most beautiful spot on the water.The hotel is not connected to land so all the things will be provided by boats."
According to Mr Olthuis,who wouldn't tell the actual cost of the project,the budget is 15per cent more than it would have been if it were built on land.He said that an important thing to the hotel's construction was for its creation to be"scarless"on the perfect environment surrounding it.
"We call it a scarless development.If you take it away after a hundred years or so it will not leave any physical footprint.That is the only way to bring developments to such a valuable and beautiful marine environment in Norway."
It is hoped that the hotel will be"self-supporting sustainable"using top of the range technology,helping to support the"growing eco-tourism market."
"Dutch Docklands has learned to live with the water instead of fighting it,"the firm states."Floating houses are common in the Netherlands but we took that technology abroad and scale it up in size."

68.What do we know about Krystall?B
A.It is built as a whole at a time
B.It is designed for enjoying the Northern Lights.
C.It can float here and there stably.
D.It is constructed with glass for every room.
69.According to Mr Olthuis,what concerns most about the hotel isD.
A.how to keep it existing for hundred years
B.how to cause no damage to each piece
C.how to build it with a lot less money
D.how to make it environmentally friendly
70.What Mr Othlis said in the last paragraph implies thatA.
