摘要:15.The best title of this passage can be . A.The Tips You Must Follow B.How to Start out with a Computer C.How to Use Your PC Better D.How to Keep Your PC Stable (E) When I opened my e-mail the other day.a pretty woman named Rachel appeared on my computer screen.She greeted me by name and started talking with great enthusiasm. Every now and then she stopped to smile at me or blow a kiss.She was reading to me an e-mail from my brother.and a lot of it was about the trouble he had getting the phone company to give him a high-speed Internet connection.It was pretty cool. Rachel was there thanks to a new technology called Facemail.Facemail lets you send e-mail that gets read to the recipient by an attractive male or female form or by a clown.The software.which is free.can be downloaded at www.facemail.com. Facemail faces are lifelike.and they simulateemotions based on emotions-for example.-that you put in your text.Type in: -X.and Rachel blows a kiss. Life FX.the company that develops the Facemail.is sure there are broad business uses.The reason e-business is not popular.the company says.is that buying over the Internet lacks the human touch.But what if you went to the Nike website and Michael Jordan greeted you by name.waited on you and personally closed the sale?And it is talking with Whirlpoolabout using the technology in a computer screen on a fridge.Then if Mom can't be home when the kids get back from school.she can leave a note with voice and image telling them what there is to eat.Facemail could get hot fast.Personally.I'm a fan.But Facemail should be used with care.The clown looks lively and funny at first.But if you select the clown.put a few rude words in an e-mail and add some angry emotions.you've got Psycho-mail.

  To be a good interviewer you must learn to listen-both to others and to yourself.

  “A lot of times we beat ourselves,”says Pat Stith, a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter for the Raleigh News & Observer.“We don't listen.We don't ask simple, direct questions.We just talk, and we talk, and we talk.We forget why we're there.(We're there to acquire information.)When we're talking, we're not acquiring anything.”

  Effective interviewing is a pillar of good reporting and writing.The ability to talk comfortably with people and to persuade them to give you information is one of the reporter's most important skills.Yet journalists get little or no training in this vital aspect of their job.Most learn by painful trial and error.

  To help rectify(调整)that situation, this Best Newspaper Writing brown bag is devoted to interviewing skills.Listen to winners and finalists talk about successful interviewing techniques, practice some of those tips, and explore other resources.

  “Somebody once wrote that there's no more seductive sentence in the English language than,‘I want to hear your story,’and maybe they're right, ”Albom said in“Best Newspaper Writing 1996.”“Because often you don't have to do any more than just say that.”

  During my reporting career, using a tape recorder taught me my most important lesson of interviewing:to shut up.It was a painful learning experience, having to listen to myself stepping on people's words, cutting them off just as they were getting enthusiastic or appeared about to make a revealing statement.There were far too many times I heard myself asking overly long and leading questions, instead of simply saying, “Why?”or“How did it happen?”or“What do you mean?”and then closing my mouth and letting people answer.

       阅读下面的短文,并根据要求答题。(请注意问题后的字数要求)。

       "Wow, you got an A without even studying."

       "Your drawing is wonderful --you're my little Picasso."

       If you're like most parents, you offer praise to your children believing it is the key to their success.But according to a new study, praise may do more harm than good.

       For the study, after a simple IQ test, one group was told it did really well and must be very smart.The other group was told it did really well and must have worked hard. One group was praised for intelligence,                  .

       Asked if they wanted to take a slightly harder test, the kids praised for their intelligence were unwillingly.Of those praised for their effort, however, 90 percent were eager for a more challenging task.And on a final test the effort group performed significantly better than the group praised for its intelligence.

       Many of the kids who had been labeled "smart" performed worst of all.The "hard workers" got the message that they could improve their scores by trying harder, but the "smart" kids believed they should do well without any effort.Thus, kids who get too much praise are less likely to take risks, are highly sensitive to failure and are more likely to give up when faced with a challenge.

       Tips for Parents:

       ◆Avoid labels.Praising for effort sends the message that your child has the power to improve and change.Be mindful of labeling yourself and others.

       ◆Teach kids from an early age that the brain is a muscle that can be strengthened with practice.This sends the message that kids can directly affect their intelligence.

       ◆Parents often praise their kids to make themselves feel good, or to protect their kids from failure.But it's vital for parents to help their kids to learn to deal with setbacks and to help them focus on ways to improve.

What is the best title of the passage? ( Please answer within 10 words.)

  Dog training is a business for some people, a serious hobby for others, and a once in a life time experience for many.Individuals in all of these categories would probably agree that consistency(一致性)is a key element of success from the beginning.

  If puppies are to be socialized, they must learn to control the impulse to use the carpet as a bathroom, chew shoes, and nip at fingers.The first issue, bathroom training is more easily accomplished in warm weather.Try to feed your pup outdoors, and after he has finished eating, take him to a spot where you would like him to eliminate.If he cooperates, praise him generously with words and pats.Take him to the same spot after each meal, and eventually he will follow this routine himself.

  The sight of a small puppy chewing through a new tennis shoe will make you do well to remove the stolen shoe from the pup's mouth and firmly say “no!”.Provide your pup with some acceptable toys, such as a ball or a chew toy.

  Until your pup is well trained and trustworthy, don't leave him unattended unless he is limited to a small area.When he is young, you want to be sure someone will praise your pup for desired behavior and express disapproval when he does something you want to discourage.

  You will want your dog to learn to respond to the commands “Come”, “Sit”, and “Stay”.Again, consistency and praise will help you achieve this goal.Each time the dog responds as you wish, praise him.Whenever he ignores your command, make him do what you commanded and then praise him.

  Negative behavior must be attended to also.You can discipline most dogs without hitting them.Since they are usually anxious to please, most dogs are duty punished by cruel words and tone of voice.Remember to be consistent so your dog knows unquestioningly what is acceptable behavior.

  Although the first stages of dog training require great deal of time and patience, the reward of a socialized and obedient dog is well worth the effort.

(1)

Dog training is appropriately attempted by ________.

[  ]

A.

professionals

B.

hobbyists

C.

zoologists

D.

anyone

(2)

What is negative behavior best handled by?

[  ]

A.

B.

C.

D.

Starving the dog.

(3)

[  ]

A.

D.
