　　A vision explosion(爆炸)was there waiting for us as we entered the underground jazz bar．The five-member live band was playing loud, energetic music．The eager crowd couldn't get enough of it．Some nodded in satisfaction．Others tapped their feet．But most were out on the dance floor, laughing as they threw their bodies around to the music．

　　With scenes like this, it's no wonder I haven't been able to leave Paris．

　　There is always something going on here．I never planned to go to a jazz bar in this city．I worried at first that it wasn't French enough－I can easily see jazz at home．But some old friends of mine, who are studying in Paris, told me that I wouldn't regret it．

　　It didn't take long for me to agree．The scene in front of me is in an excited mess．There's no room on the tiny dance floor．My friend tells me that this space was once used as a prison room during World War II．She's not joking．Prisoners at that time must have been shocked seeing the damp stone basement．I couldn't think of a more complete contrast to the joy on display tonight．No jazz bar in Australia would have a history like this!

　　The leader of the band is an old French saxophonist in his 70s．He's cool and some kind of leader, sometimes walking up to the microphone to sing a couple of words．I'm told that he has been playing at this bar for over 45 years．So how could I refuse when he points to us and tells us to get on the dance floor too?

　　I feel completely out of place－there are some skilled dancers about．Clearly many come here every week．But the energy pulls us through and we have a ball．It is easily my favourite time in Paris．I certainly didn't expect that．

　　Adrian e-mailed me recently to say that he had arrived home safely．I plan to return soon too．Of course, I will have to find a way to pull myself out of Paris first．

D．	The history of the Jazz bar is a shame to Paris．

(2)

A．	Because he wants to leave and go back home．
B．	Because he is not a good dancer．
C．	Because he is not used to a dance like this．

A
Too often we accuse others of not listening, pretending that we ourselves are faultless, yet in our hearts we know that many of the mistakes we make come about because we haven’t listened carefully enough. We get things wrong because we haven’t listened carefully enough. We get things wrong because we haven’t quite understood what someone meant when they were talking to us. Anyone who has ever taken the minutes of a long meeting will know how hard it is to remember-- despite the benefit of notes-- exactly what everyone said. But success depends on getting things right--and that means listening.
Listening is not the same thing as hearing; it is not an effort actively. It demands attention and concentration. It may mean quizzing the speaker for additional information or for clarification------ it is always better to ask than to continue regardless and get things wrong. However, if you allow your mind to wander onto something else, even for a few minutes, you’ll miss what the speaker is saying------ probably at the very moment when he or she is saying something critical. And not having heard, you won’t know you’ve missed anything until it’s too late.
The most common bad habit we have is to start thinking of what we are going to say about the subject long before the other speaker has finished. We then stop listening. Even worse, this often adds rudeness to inattentiveness, as once you have decided what to say there is a fair chance you will interrupt to say it. Good listeners don’t interrupt. In fact it is often worth explaining the main idea of what you have just been told before going on to make your own points. Nobody is offended by this and it shows that you have listened well.
Above all be patient and accept that many people are not very good communicators. It’s helpful to remember that the ways people move and position themselves while they are speaking can reveal a great deal about what they are saying. Equally important you should put yourself in the other person’s place, both intellectually and emotionally; it will help you to understand what they are getting at and form a response. But don’t be too clever. Faced with a know-all, many people keep quiet because they see no point in continuing.

Michael was a farmer in Texas. His parents moved to the USA from Ireland in the 1940’s, and they became very rich. Michael decided to go back to Ireland to meet his old grandfather, who was still living on the same farm．
Michael booked his ticket，flew to Shannon airport，hired a car and drove to the small village where his parents had been born.
