Liu Feng Blog My 18th Birthday 2010- 4-14 9:29:2
Today is my 18th birthday, which means that from now on, I am an adult, so it is very fresh to me. I can not forget the happiness and love that my family and friends have given me. To show their love and affection, they held a great ceremony for me at home, and also sent me many kinds of presents, which have left me with great memories.
However, the most unforgettable thing is : a small gift from my English teacher, Jesse.
This morning, after class, Jesse approached me and said “Happy Birthday and here is a card for you”. After thanking him, I carefully opened it:
Dear Liu Feng,
I sincerely hope the 18th birthday will bring you great happiness all through your life. I have been with you for almost one year, and I find you are a good boy. You are working hard and doing fine in your study, and also I’d like you to have a little change in yourself. Since last month, when you failed in the exam, you have become shy and passive; you seem to have closed your world from others and hesitate to be together with them, which I think is not good for you. To adapt yourself to your future college and social life, find yourself an active life！
Yours,
Jesse”
Reading this, I was moved to tears…

Love and happiness poured in on Liu Feng’s 18th birthday, a mark of an adult, which has brought him everlasting memories. And his English teacher sent him a birthday card, expressing his best wishes.
As a student, it’s very lucky to have a teacher full of love and care and treat you as a friend.
You failed in the last exam though you made great efforts, but don’t let failure make you a failure. You must realize that you must have a strong will to face it, or you will be beaten. Moreover, you mustn’t escape it so that you will fall down. Great men are those who suck big benefits from small failures.
Life is not as smooth as a peaceful lake. 18 means an adult age, and also means a long life journey for you to cover, so you must learn to face any failures.
So, Liu Feng, every man is the master of his own fortune. Be brave and be confident and success will take itself. Remember: “Failure is the mother of success!”
轻松暑假总复习系列答案阅读下面的短文，然后从A-F选项中，为每一小段选择合适的标题, 并把答案写在答案卷上。
|
A. The most common problem is a “wandering” mind B. Selective listening is also a mental barrier C. Listening isn’t an easy skill to master D. Attitude can also influence good listening E. Noise and background music makes listening more difficult F. Listening is also related to the level of the listener’s knowledge |
1._____________
Listening is not as easy as someone thought. Even good listeners may recall only fifty percent of what they hear. Retention, the ability to remember and recall information, decreases about twenty to twenty-five percent after a few days. So no matter how well you listen in class, you’re always going to have to refresh your memory before a test! Unfortunately, many people have poor listening habits, and little listening training. To improve your listening skills, it’s important to understand what causes poor listening.
2.___________
If you find it difficult to concentrate solely on what a speaker is saying, there’s a good reason. The mind processes information much faster than a speaker can speak. The brain can process over 500 words per minute, while the average speaker talks at a rate of 124 to 250 words per minute. That means the mind can hear what’s being said and can think about something else at the same time.
3.____________
If you have a negative idea about the speaker or the topic, you’ll find it difficult to listen attentively. Hostile or captive audiences often have more difficultly listening than do favorable or voluntary ones.
4.____________
If a speaker speaks “above the heads” of an audience, people find it difficult to concentrate. Speakers who use unfamiliar words or who use incomplete explanations make it more difficult to listen. Speakers who “speak down” to audiences, failing to acknowledge what the audience already knows, also create mental blocks.
5.___________
When people listen selectively, they simply block out what they don’t want to hear. For instance, many people have habits that are dangerous to their health, like smoking. However, they often choose to block out what a speaker says about health risks. They may listen to a speech and think that the speaker’s message applies to other people, not them. In other words, they hear what they want to hear and ignore what they don’t want to hear.
