Pacing and Pausing

       Sara tried to befriend her old friend Steve's new wife, but Betty never seemed to have anything to say. While Sara felt Betty didn't hold up her end of the conversation, Betty complained to Steve that Sara never gave her a chance to talk. The problem had to do with expectations about pacing and pausing.

       Conversation is a turn-taking game. When our habits are similar, there's no problem. But if our habits are different, you may start to talk before I'm finished or fail to take your turn when I'm finished. That's what was happening with Betty and Sara.

       It may not be coincidental that Betty, who expected relatively longer pauses between turns, is British, and Sara, who expected relatively shorter pauses, is American. Betty often felt interrupted by Sara. But Betty herself became an interrupter and found herself doing most of the talking when she met a visitor from Finland. And Sara had a hard time cutting in on some speakers from Latin America or Israel.

       The general phenomenon, then, is that the small conversation techniques, like pacing and pausing, lead people to draw conclusions not about conversational style but about personality and abilities. These habitual differences are often the basis for dangerous stereotyping (思維定式). And these social phenomena can have very personal consequences. For example, a woman from the southwestern part of the US went to live in an eastern city to take up a job in personnel. When the Personnel Department got together for meetings, she kept searching for the right time to break in--and never found it. Although back home she was considered outgoing and confident, in Washington she was viewed as shy and retiring. When she was evaluated at the end of the year, she was told to take a training course because of her inability to speak up.

        That's why slight differences in conversational style--tiny little things like microseconds of pause-can have a great effect on one's life. The result in this case was a judgment of psychological problems---even in the mind of the woman herself, who really wondered what was wrong with her and registered for assertiveness training.

1. What did Sara think of Betty when talking with her?

      A. Betty was talkative.

      B. Betty was an interrupter.

      C. Betty did not take her turn.

      D. Betty paid no attention to Sara.

2. According to the passage, who are likely to expect the shortest pauses between turns?

      A. Americans.    B. Israelis.        C. The British.     D. The Finns.

3. We can learn from the passage that ____________

      A. communication breakdown results from short pauses and fast pacing

B. women are unfavorably stereotyped in eastern cities of the US

      C. one's inability to speak up is culturally determined sometimes

D. one should receive training to build up one's confidence

4. The underlined word "assertiveness" in the last paragraph probably means ____________

      A. being willing to speak one's mind

B. being able to increase one's power

C. being ready to make one's own judgment

      D. being quick to express one's ideas confidently

       When difficult people exptures themeelves orally, they generally want at least two things:they’ve been heard and they’ve been understood.As a good communicator should be a good listener, five steps are advocated toward good listening.

       The first step is cooperating(合作).How does a difficult person know that you’re listening and understanding?In fact, it’s through the way you look and sound while he is talking. You may help him to fully express his thoughts and feelings. You do this by nodding your head in agreement, making cartain sounds of understandiey.

       When the peron begings to repeat what’s been said, is’s a two:turning that you repeat some words he is using, sending a clear signal the you’ve listening carefully and that you think what he is saying is important.

       Having heard what he has to say, the next sterp is clarifying.At this point, you start to gather information about whoat is being communicated. Ask same open-ended questions, which will allow you to figure out what intention he is hoping to satisfy.

       The fourth step is to summarize(概括)what you’ve heard.This allows you to make sure that both you and the difficult peson the same page. When you do this, two things happen First, if you’ve twisses shinething, he can fill in the (細(xì)節(jié)).Second you’ve shown that you’re making an effort to understand cometely. This increases possibility of gaining cooperation from him.

       Having listened carefully, you’ve now arrived at the point of confirmning with the person that he feels satisfied that this thoughts have been fully voiced. Ask if he feels understood.

       Then emough sincere listening, questioning, and remembering are brought together, understanding is usually achieved and a difficult person hecomes less difficult and more cooperative.
