题目内容

Effective(有效的)listening is important for improving communication between people. The sad part is that we want others to listen to us, but we ourselves are bad listeners, therefore creating barriers(障碍) to effective listening. Here are some common barriers to effective listening and some ways of overcoming them.

Before the speaker finishes speaking, you think you know the answer already and interrupt him or her. This is one of the most common barriers to effective listening. Respect is important for good listening. If you think you know the answer, you still should listen carefully to what’s being said, and then make ready a few questions and answers, wait for several seconds and then start speaking.

Whenever a speaker speaks, many a time listeners try to help the speaker. Though it may seem as if you’re trying to help, actually it isn’t so. In fact you should set up a separate(单独的) meeting for advising the speaker. If you feel you have anything to say, which the speaker may not know, you should politely ask if you may suggest anything.

In a heated discussion, the speakers sometimes don’t agree to each other’s opinions and treat it as a competition, and then it becomes a barrier to good listening. To overcome this, you should express your opinions after the speaker has finished speaking. Speak out wherever you disagree, but also if you agree on anything, you should point it out.

CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL.
FROM THE DESK OF: MR. JOSEPH YANA.
AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK (ADB)
BURKINA-FASO.
Dear Sir / Madam,
I am the Bill and Exchange (assistant) Manager of the Africa development Bank, MR. JOSEPH YANA.
In my department I discovered an abandoned sum of USD$9.900.000 in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his wife and two children in July 2000 in a plane crash. Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin(近亲属) to come over and claim his money, but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him in the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I in my department now decided to make this business proposals to you and release the money to you as next of kin or relation since nobody is coming for it and we don't want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The banking law and guidelines here says that if such money remains unclaimed after ten years, the money will be transferred into the bank treasury.
The request of foreigner in this transaction is necessary because our late customer was a foreigner. We agree that 30% of this money will be for you as foreigner partner, 5% will be set aside for expenses incurred during the business and 65% would be for me, after which I shall visit your country for disbursement(开支) according to the percentages indicated. Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the bank, and send your account number, your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where the money will be sent.
Upon receiving your reply, I will send to you by fax or e-mail the text of the application which you shall retype and fax to us. Trusting to receive your urgent reply through my alternative Email : jyana96 @ yahoo.co.id
Best regards.
MR. JOSEPY YANA.

Tom was one of the brightest boys in the year, with supportive parents. But when he was 15 he suddenly stopped trying. He left school at 16 with only two scores for secondary school subjects. One of the reasons that made it cool for him not to care was the power of his peer(同龄人) group.
The lack of right male(男性的) role models in many of their lives — at home and particularly in the school environment(环境) — means that their peers are the only people they have to judge themselves against.
They don’t see men succeeding in society so it doesn’t occur to them that they could make something of themselves. Without male teachers as a role model, the effect of peer actions and street culture(文化) is all-powerful. Boys want to be part of a club. However, schools can provide the environment for change, and provide the right role models for them. Teachers need to be trained to stop that but not in front of a child’s peers. You have to do it one to one, because that is when you see the real child.
It’s pointless sending a child home if he or she has done wrong. They see it as a welcome day off to watch television or play computer games. Instead, schools should have a special unit where a child who has done wrong goes for the day and gets advice about his problems — somewhere he can work away from his peers and go home after the other children.
【小题1】Why did Tom give up studying?

A.He disliked his teachers.
B.His parents no longer supported him.
C.It’s cool for boys of his age not to care about studies.
D.There were too many subjects in his secondary school.
【小题2】What seems to have a bad effect on students like Tom?
A.Peer groups.B.A special unit.
C.The student judges.D.The home environment.
【小题3】What should schools do to help the problem schoolboys?
A.Wait for their change patiently.
B.Train leaders of their peer groups.
C.Stop the development of street culture.
D.Give them lessons in a separate area.
【小题4】A teacher’s work is most effective with a schoolboy when he ______.
A.is with the boy alone
B.teaches the boy a lesson
C.sends the boy home as punishment
D.works together with another teacher

Planting trees around poultry farms can improve air and water quality -- and relations with neighbors. Research has shown that just three rows of trees near poultry houses can reduce the release of dust and ammonia(氨). They can also reduce the strong smell of ammonia gas.
The trees take dust, ammonia and odors in their leaves. They also provide shade from the sun, so they reduce cooling costs in summer. And they act as a windbreak, so they reduce heating costs in winter. Trees can also improve water quality around farms by removing pollutions from soil and groundwater.
Several years ago, people were objecting to the odor of poultry farms on the Delmarva Peninsula in the eastern United State s. Delmarva is where the states of Delaware, Maryland and Virginia come together. Two thousand farms there can each house an average of seventy-five thousand chickens.
Traditionally the farms used windows to provide fresh air in the chicken houses. Farmers rarely planted trees or tall crops around the buildings, so there would be no barrier to the airflow. But then farms began to use new ventilation systems. Instead of windows, the new systems used tunnel fans to circulate air. The fans directed airflow from the poultry houses toward the homes of neighbors.
Researchers began dealing with the problem in two thousand. They found that over a period of six years, planting three rows of trees reduced total dust and ammonia by more than half. And they found that smells were reduced by eighteen percent.
Farmers may think trees will take too long to grow and be effective. But some trees can grow quickly. At least one-third of the Delmarva farms have planted trees, technically known as vegetative environmental buffers. The idea offers a way to cut pollution, save money and energy, and make the neighbors happy.
【小题1】The second paragraph mainly tells us ______.

A.planting trees as much as possible
B.the advantages of trees
C.how to reduce heating costs
D.why trees are received
【小题2】The word “odor” in paragraph 3 means ______.
A.plantB.smellC.heightD.water
【小题3】The farms on the Delmarva Peninsula used to use ______ in chicken houses to provide fresh air.
A.treesB.tunnel fansC.windowsD.poles
【小题4】It can be learned from the last two paragraphs that ______.
A.three rows of trees are really good to the environment
B.researches began to realize the problem in 2000
C.most farmers show interest in planting trees
D.the trees growing quickly can be cut off in a few years

Recently a group of second-graders visited our school library to work on a “holidays around the world” project. The children created pictures showing holiday customs and then created voice recordings explaining what they drew.    1.    Now imagine taking things one step further and creating Podcasts in a classroom setting.

The term Podcast refers to an audio recording, linked to the Web, that can be downloaded to a personal MP3 player. The word is created from broadcast and from iPod—the wildly popular MP3 player from Apple.

Using audio with students isn’t new, of course. Teachers have used audiobooks at listening centers and recorded student voice on tape or CD for many years.    2.    Podcasts, however, can reach a much wider audience in a time frame outside the school days. Booktalking, an old way of getting kids excited about books, gets a tech assistance with Podcasting. Students can do some booktalking themselves; book review Podcasts seem to be another natural way for students to share what they know, providing an alternative to the book report.

  3.   Teachers made audio Podcasts, including visuals or video clips for any content area instruction and review. Some teachers have begun to record themselves teaching important concepts; this creates an account of information online for kids to access when they’re stuck on a homework assignment.   4.    Imagine being a classroom teacher in September who can actually hear how his or her students were reading in June the school year before.

You don’t need an iPod to make a Podcast.    5.   While an MP3 player is a popular and useful gadget, your audience doesn’t need MP3 players to listen, either. Your students and their families can use the computer to play back what you’ve recorded.

A. Audio and video files can also function as assessment tools.

B. It is clearly showed in the incident that student-created voice recordings are effective.

C. Podcasting is of vital importance to the classroom setting.

D. Podcasting is used for various excellent reasons.

E. You can make a Podcast if you have a computer, a microphone, and some free software.

F. Podcasting needs a variety of devices.

G. Voice and music have been seen as the original media for teaching.
