As Guangzhou is accelerating its preparation for the 2010 Asian Games, Guangzhou citizens in every field are making an endeavor to help the host city take on a new look. On the 5th of January, Mayor Zhang Guangning announced that the government is considering giving its people a big Asian Games present as a reward for their cooperation and devotion to the Games. As to what the present would be, relevant departments would collect ideas from the citizens.
This good news has brought about great guesses among Guangzhou people. Thus various opinions have emerged. Some prefer to have several days’ holiday as a reward, while others hope to receive the tickets to the events in the Asian Games. Sports lovers are eager to have free access to city stadiums. Some opportunists suggest the government hand out lottery tickets, in which case they may have the chance to win a big fortune. In contrast, those who hold a down-to-earth attitude are looking forward to some new year lucky money or to have more discounts when taking buses or the subway. For apartment hunters in their 20s or 30s, nothing can be more comforting than the thought of being able to buy an Asian Games Village apartment at a reasonable and acceptable price.

To express thanks to its citizens, the Guangzhou government plans to deliver an Asian Games present to them. As to what present they would like to receive, opinions vary from person to person.
The idea of delivering an Asian Games present is encouraging, not only because of the present itself, but also because it is a symbol of the government’s care for its citizens. By handing out the presents, the government will show its gratitude as well as fill the people with a feeling of being focused on. In this way, they are more pleased to serve the city and lead a happier life, which is bound to contribute to the harmony of our society. Therefore, this act would be mutually beneficial.
As a Senior Three student who is going to university soon, I suggest the government should help pay part of the university tuition fees, for university students are the future of the city. Besides, this will rid poor students of the worries about the heavy burden of the fees, helping them better concentrate on their studies. I am looking forward to this present!
解析
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.
