Many people think that listening is a passive business. It is just the opposite. Listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work. It is because they do not realize this, or because they are not willing to do the work, that most people do not listen well.
Listening well also requires total concentration upon someone else. An essential part of listening well is the rule known as ‘bracketing’. Bracketing includes the temporary giving up or setting aside of your own prejudices and desires, to experience as far as possible someone else’s world from the inside, stepping into his or her shoes. Moreover, since listening well involves bracketing, it also involves a temporary acceptance of the other person. Sensing this acceptance, the speaker will seem quite willing to open up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener. True communication is under way and the energy required for listening well is so great that it can be accomplished only by the will to extend oneself for mutual growth.
Most of the time we lack this energy. Even though we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well, what we are usually doing is listening selectively. Often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder, as we listen, how we can achieve certain desired results to get the conversation over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us. Many of us are far
more interested in talking than in listening, or we simply refuse to listen to what we don’t want to hear.
It wasn’t until toward the end of my doctor career that I have found the knowledge that one is being truly listened to is frequently therapeutic(有療效的) In about a quarter of the patients I saw, surprising improvement was shown during the first few months of psychotherapy(心理療法), before any of the roots of problems had been uncovered or explained. There are several reasons for this phenomenon, but chief among them, I believe, was the patient’s sense that he or she was being truly listened to, often for the first time in years, and for some, perhaps for the first time ever.
【小題1】. The phrase “stepping into his or her shoes” in paragraph 2 probably means _______.

A.preparing a topic list first
B.focusing on one’s own mind
C.directing the talk to the desired results
D.experiencing the speaker’s inside world
【小題2】. What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2 ?
A.How to listen well.
B.What to listen to.
C.Benefits of listening.
D.Problems in listening
【小題3】According to the author , in communication people tend to ________.
A.listen actively
B.listen purposefully
C.set aside their prejudices
D.open up their inner mind
【小題4】 According to the author , the patients improved mainly because _______.
A.they were taken good care of.
B.they knew they were truly listened to.
C.they had partners to talk to.
D.they knew the roots of problems.

Food labels are such a mess that the government is redesigning them, as the ingredient(營(yíng)養(yǎng)成分) lists are usually too confusing. As a result, a shopper could spend hours in a grocery store watching, calculating, and comparing, and still could not get it right. ShopWell is trying to help by allowing consumers to scan food labels and receive understandable and personalized information.
Here’s how it works. Register for ShopWell, and enter your age and gender. Add your goals (General health? Or are you trying to lose weight?). Then, note what you want in your diet, such as protein or iron, and what you want to avoid(added sugar, say). Add your allergies(過(guò)敏的物質(zhì)) and things you cannot accept, and start scanning.
Then ShopWell will come up with a clearly personal result: green for a food that is good for you; yellow for foods you can enjoy a little; and red for foods you should avoid.
The results are easily understandable and is clean because it’s not mixed with ads. Instead, ShopWell makes money by selling data to supermarkets. Its database contains 350,000 products, the app has been downloaded 1.3 million times, and the company claims a scan every two seconds “in stores such as Walmart, Whole Foods and 7-Eleven,” in the words of marketing manager James Allgood.
One of the first items I scanned was So Delicious Coconut Milk Creamer, which I buy because I’m lactose(乳糖) intolerant. It turns out it’s only a little suitable for me — because of its 1 gram per serving of added sugar. I’m not sure I’ll give it up. But I did ask the app to watch for added sugar, and it’s doing its job.
One drawback to ShopWell is that the scanner often doesn’t work for items from Costco or Trader Joe’s. Meanwhile, Some user reviews say that it doesn’t cover enough allergies.
【小題1】 Why do consumers hesitate long when deciding which food to purchase in a shop?

A.Because there are usually an extremely wide variety of food in the shop.
B.Because food labels in the shop are in such a mess that they need redesigning.
C.Because consumers desire to scan food labels for understandable information.
D.Because consumers can hardly make sense of the information on the food labels.
【小題2】What does the author intend to tell the readers in Paragraph 2?
A.The proper use of ShopWell.B.The function of ShopWell.
C.The development of ShopWell. D.The advantage of ShopWell.
【小題3】How can ShopWell make some profits?
A.By providing its collected data to supermarkets.
B.By selling 350,000 products of its own.
C.By downloading the app 1.3 million times.
D.By following the words of marketing manager James Allgood.
【小題4】What does the underlined “drawback” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A.ScannerB.Disadvantage
C.BenefitD.Item

No one can change the weather. Nobody can control the weather. But if we read correctly the signs around us, we can tell what the more important changes in the weather will be. This way of telling what the weather will be like on the following day or two is called weather forecasting.
For many centuries and in all countries, people have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasting. Rings around the sun are a sign of coming rain. That many people feel their joints(關(guān)節(jié)) hurt is a sign of wet weather. Some birds fly high if the weather is fine, but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way. If you see a rainbow during rainy weather, this is a sign that the weather will become clear and fine. Such rainbows come in the evening. If the stars twinkle clearly at night, then fine weather will continue. If a fog appears in the morning just above a river, then the day will be warm. If the sunset is mostly red in colour, then the following day will be fine. If a rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably come.
Most of the above sayings have been made by the people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather forecasting.
【小題1】Which is true about weather forecasting?

A.Weather forecasting is a way of telling what the weather will be like.
B.Weather forecasting is a report about the weather.
C.Weather forecasting is a sign of coming rain.

You may think that sailing is a difficult sport, but it is really not hard to learn it. You do not need to be strong. But you need to be quick. And you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind.
First, you must ask yourself, “Where is the wind coming from? Is it coming from ahead or behind or from the side?” You must think about this all the time on the boat. The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail.
Let’s start with the wind blowing from the behind. This means the wind and the boat are going in the same direction. Then you must always keep the sail outside the boat. It should be at a 90° angle (角度) to the boat. Then it will catch the wind best.
If the wind is blowing from the side, it is blowing across the boat. In this case, you must keep the sail half way outside the boat. It should be at a 45° angle to the boat. It needs to be out far enough to catch the wind, but it shouldn’t flap (擺動(dòng)). It shouldn’t look like on a flagpole. If it is flapping, it is probably out too far, and the boat will slow down.
Sailing into the wind is not possible. If you try, the sail will flap and the boat will stop. You may want to go in that direction. It is possible, but you can’t go in a straight line. You must go first in one direction and then in another. This is called tacking. When you are tacking, you must always keep the sail inside the boat.
【小題1】 What should you consider first while sailing?

A.Sailors’ strength. B.Wave levels. 
C.Wind directions. D.Size of sails. 
【小題2】 What does the word “It” underlined in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A.The boat. B.The wind. 
C.The sail. D.The angle. 
【小題3】 What do you have to do when sailing against the wind?
A.Move in a straight line. B.Allow the sail to flap. 
C.Lower the sail. D.Tack the boat. 
【小題4】 Where can you probably find the text?
A.In a popular magazine. B.In a tourist guidebook. 
C.In a physics textbook. D.In an official report.

Some people can stay up all night and still get work done the next day.I'm not one of them.After a night without enough sleep, I feel bad?tempered.I have trouble remembering things.And all I want to do is to crawl into bed and sleep.
How do you feel after you've stayed up late to finish schoolwork? Or the day after an overnight party? Scientists now say that your answers to these questions may depend on your genes.
New research suggests that a gene called “period 3” affects how well you function without sleep.The “period 3” gene comes in two forms:short and long.Everyone has two copies of the gene.So, you may have two longs, two shorts, or one of each.Your particular combination depends on what your parents passed on to you.
Scientists from the University of Surrey in England studied 24 people who had either two short or two long copies of “period 3”.Study participants had to stay awake 40 hours straight.Then,they took tests that measured  how quickly they pushed a button when numbers flashed on screen and how well they could remember lists of numbers.
Results showed that the people with the short form of “period 3” performed much better on these tests than the people with the long form did.In both groups,people performed worst in the early morning.
After the first round of experiments,participants were finally allowed to sleep.People in the group that performed well on the tests (those with the short form of “period 3”) took about 18 minutes to nod off.
People with the long “period 3” gene, by contrast, fell asleep in just 8 minutes.They also spent more time on deep sleep.That suggests that people with the long form of the gene need more and deeper sleep to keep their brains working in top form.
I think I must have the long form of“period 3”.What about you?
【小題1】The purpose of this passage might be________.

A.to tell us the importance of plenty of sleep
B.to tell the result of a research on sleepy gene
C.to inform the harm of lacking sleep
D.to announce the sleeping rules of humans
【小題2】Which of the following decides how well you perform without sleep?
A.One short form.
B.One long copy.
C.One short and two long copies.
D.Period 3.
【小題3】What kind of people need less sleep according to the research?
A.Those with two long copies of the gene.
B.Those with two short copies of the gene.
C.Those with one short and one long copy of the gene.
D.Those with three short copies of the gene.
【小題4】If one lacks enough sleep,one should avoid doing important or dangerous things ________.
A.a(chǎn)t dawn B.a(chǎn)t night
C.in the afternoon D.a(chǎn)t noon

Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness,happiness,goodness,and  self­respect?The collection  of happiness actions broadly categorized  (把……歸類)  as “honor” help you create this life of good feelings.
Here’s an example to show how honorable actions create happiness.
Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item.If we keep silent,and profit from the clerk’s mistake,we would drive home with a sense of sneaky (暗中的) excitement.Later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune.On the other hand,if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item,the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty.We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.
Then,what is it to do with our sense of happiness?
In the first case,where we don’t tell the clerk,a couple of things would happen.Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief.In the process,we would lose some peace of  mind  and  self­respect.We  would also demonstrate that we cannot be trusted,since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends.We damage our own reputations by telling others.In contrast,bringing_the_error_to_the__clerk’s__attention  causes  different  things  to happen.Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable.Upon leaving the store,we feel honorable and our self­respect is increased.Whenever we take honorable actions we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility.
There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions.Honorable  thoughts lead  to honorable actions.Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence.And it’s easy to think and act honorably again when we’re happy.While the positive cycle can be difficult to start,once it’s started,it’s easy to continue.Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind,which is important for our happiness.
【小題1】According to the passage,the positive action in the example contributes to our________.

A.self­respect B.financial rewards
C.a(chǎn)dvertising ability  D.friendly relationship
【小題2】The author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to________.
A.lying B.stealing
C.cheating   D.a(chǎn)dvertising
【小題3】The underlined phrase “bringing the error to the clerk’s attention”  means________.
A.telling the truth to the clerk
B.offering advice to the clerk
C.a(chǎn)sking the clerk to be more attentive
D.reminding the clerk of the charged items
【小題4】How will we feel if we let the clerk know the mistake?
A.We’ll be very excited.
B.We’ll feel unfortunate.
C.We’ll have a sense of honor.
D.We’ll feel sorry for the clerk.
【小題5】Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
A.How to Live Truthfully
B.Importance of Peacefulness
C.Ways of Gaining Self­respect
D.Happiness through Honorable Actions
