Good listening skills can provide you with a deeper level of understanding about someone's situation．If you want to know how to be a good listener，read on to get started！
（46）BIt's easy to get lost in yourself and to only consider the impact of the other person's"telling"on you．But active listening is blocked by your inward thinking．On the contrary，you must look at the problems from the other person's angle．
Don't try to help immediately．Some people think that they should find a quick and easy solution to the person's problem while listening．Instead，you should take the time to think of a"solution"only if he or she is really looking for help in this way．（47）G．
Remember what you've been told．（48）DSo，if the person is telling you about his problems with his best friend，you can at least remember his name so you can refer to him that way．If you don't remember any names，details，or important events，then it won't sound like you're listening．
Encourage the speaker with body language．（49）C．Also says little things such as"Yeah"when the person is talking about something that they want you to agree on or"Wow"when the person talks about a tragedy or something bad done against them．These words betray that you're not only listening but paying attention．
Make eye contact．If you give your friend the impression you aren't interested and are distracted，they may never open up to you again．（50）E

A．Wait for the person to open up．
B．Place yourself in the other person's shoes．
C．Show them that you care by nodding at right times so they know you're listening．
D．Being a good listener is to actually absorb the information the person has told you．
E．Focus directly on their eyes so that they will know certainly that you are absorbing every single word．
F．Instead of the conclusion，let the speaker know that you are ready to listen and to be a sounding board．
G．If you start thinking of all of the quick measures for the person's problems，you won't be listening attentively．

13．Since the beginning of the year，smog（雾霾） has covered parts of North China．In January，Beijing saw only five days without smog．The rising PM 2.5 readings terrified many people，and some health experts said that whenever the smog gets serious，hospitals receive more patients suffering acute respiratory （呼吸系统）and heart diseases．
Later，news of polluted underground water in some provinces scared people who wondered whether the water they drink is safe．So the need to emphasize environmental protection while developing the economy is heard everywhere．
Smog is especially a common concern．As a popular online post said，air may be the only thing that is equal for everyone，despite your income or profession．People with higher incomes are able to drink only bottled spring water and eat only organic food by paying higher prices，but they breathe the same air as everyone else．
At a meeting on Monday，many representatives have expressed their concerns about the air quality，too．One talked about his experience in Beijing．"After taking a taxi from the capital airport to my hotel，which took about an hour，I washed my nose and found the inside of my nose was black．We should ask ourselves this question：Why do we want to develop？It's for living a better life．Dirty air is definitely not a better life，"he said．
China needs to develop its economy and invest （投资） in hightech．Every Chinese has a dream to make China stronger．But without blue sky，clean water and safe food，the achievements in the economy will become meaningless．Space technologies are not to be developed for building a base on Mars so that one day all human beings can move to the red planet because they have destroyed Earth．
What the public wants is a strong and beautiful China．The great efforts must be made to promote W5P2 ecological progress and build a beautiful China．The words have shown the central government's determination to address the environment issue．

12．Age plays a major part in people who are infected with cold，ie，in people who suffer from cold infection．A study done by University of Michigan，has shown information that seems to be true for the general population．Babies are the most cold infected group，generally more than six colds in their first year．Boys have more colds than girls up to the age of three．After three，girls are easier to get infected with cold than boys，and teenage girls get three colds a year to boys'two．The general cold infections continue to get less into adults．Elderly people who are in good health have as few as one or two colds every year．One interesting thing is found among people in their twenties，especially women，who show a rise in cold infection，because people in this age group are most likely to have young children．
The study has also found that economy plays an important role as well．With more and more income，the frequency at which colds are reported in the family is getting lower and lower．Families with the lowest income usually suffer about a third ally forces people to live in rooms more crowded than rooms owned by richer people，and the crowding usually leads to more chances for the cold virus to travel from person to person．Low income may also have an effect on our diet．Many scientists believe that a poorer diet usually leads into more possibilities of cold infection．

10．As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information，are people remembering less？If you know your computer will save information，why store it in your own personal memory，your brain？Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how．
In a recent study，Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments．She and her research team wanted to know how the Internet is changing memory．In the first experiment，they gave people 40unimportant facts to type into a computer．The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information．The second group understood that the computer would not save it．Later，the second group remembered the information better．People in the first group knew they could find the information again，so they did not try to remember it．
In another experiment，the researchers gave people facts to remember，and told them where to find the information on the computer．The information was in a specific computer folder（文件夹）．Surprisingly，people later remembered the folder location better than the facts．When people use the Internet，they do not remember the information．Rather，they remember how to find it．This is called"transactive memory（交互记忆）"．
According to Sparrow，we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet．Instead，computer users are developing stronger transactive memories； that is，people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date．This doesn't mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent，but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing．

A．introduce the main topic
B．show the author's attitude
C．describe how to use the Internet
D．explain how to store information
10．What can we learn about the first experiment？C
A．The Sparrow's team typed the information into a computer．
B．The two groups remembered the information equally well．
C．The first group did not try to remember the information．
D．The second group did not understand the information．
11．In transactive memory，peopleD．
A．keep the information in mind
B．change the quantity of information
C．organize information like a computer
D．remember how to find the information
12．What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research？A
A．We are using memory differently．
B．We are becoming more intelligent．
C．We have poorer memories than before．
D．We need a better way to access information．
