18.How to be a good listenerEveryone 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.

"I know Bill loves me."she said."But he has never been one to say he loves me,or send cards to me.I'd give anything if he'd say‘I love you',but it's just not in his (49)A."

Recently,a class in Shanghai has held a discussion about whether street artists should perform with a license on the street.The opinions are different.Recently,a class in Shanghai has held a discussion about whether street artists should perform with a license on the street.The opinions are different.
Some students think it quite necessary to obtain a performing license after a series of procedures.With a license,more professional street artists will show off their talents at ease without worrying about being driven away.(高分句型)Besides,the number of pretenders will naturally be reduced so that the social order will tend to be stable.
On the other hand,others hold the opposite view.In their opinion,most street artists perform just to support themselves,so it is unreasonable to be too strict with them.(高分句型) If the government limits them too much,they can't have access to an ordinary life easily.In addition,our life is greatly enriched by the different performances of street artists.
As for me,I am in favor of the regulated performance,as people nowadays have a higher level in appreciation of arts.(高分句型).
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.

Another tradition is to give cards and gifts.Children make them in school.Many people make their own presents.These are valued more than the ones bought in stores.It is not the value of the gift that is important,but it is"the thought that counts".Greeting card stores,florists,candy makers,bakeries,telephones companies and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.
