Most people are poor listeners. Even when we think we are listening carefully,we usually 41 only half of what we hear,and we remember even less. Improving your listening skills can be 42 in every part of your life.
The most important 43 of poor listening is giving in to distractions（分心的事物） and letting our thoughts 44 . Sometimes,however,we listen too 45 . We try to remember every word a speaker says,and we lose the 46 message by concentrating on details. In other situations,we may jump to conclusions and 47 a speaker without hearing out tbe message. Finally,we often judge people by their 48 or speaking manner 49 listening to what they say.
You can 50 these poor listening habits by taking several steps. First,take listening 51 and commit yourself to becoming a better listener. Second,work at being a(n) 52 listener. Give your undivided attention to the speaker in a genuine effort to 53 her or his ideas. Third,54 distractions. Make a conscious effort to keep your mind on what the speaker is saying. Fourth,try not to be 55 by appearance or delivery. 56 preconceived(事先形成的) judgments based on a person's looks or manner of speech. Fifth,suspend (延缓.) judgment 57 you have heard the speaker's entire message. Sixth,58 your listening by paying attention to main points,to evidence,and to the speaker's techniques. Finally,develop your note-taking skills. When done 59 ,note taking is an excellent way to improve your concentration and to keep track of a speaker's 60 . It almost forces you to become a more attentive and creative listener.

I first came across the concept of pay-what-you-can cafes last summer in Boone,N. C. , where I ate at F. A. R.M. (Feed All Regardless of Means) Cafe. You can volunteer to earn your meal,pay the suggested price ($10) or less,or you can overpay — paying it forward for a future customer's meal. My only regret after eating there was not having a chance to give my time. So as soon as Healthy World Cafe opened in York in April,I signed up for a volunteer shift（轮班）.
F. A. R.M. and Healthy World are part of a growing trend of community cafes. In 2003,Denise Cerreta opened the first in Salt Lake City. Cerreta now runs the One World Everybody Eats Foundation,helping others copy her pay-what-you-can model.
“I think the community cafe is truly a hand up,not a handout,^ Cerreta said. She acknowledged that soup kitchens(施粥所) have a place in society,but people typically dori 51 feel good about going there.
“One of the values of the community cafe is that we have another approach,” she said. “Everyone eats here,no one needs to know whether you volunteered,underpaid or overpaid."
The successful cafes not only address hunger and food insecurity but also become necessary parts of their neighborhoods — whether it's a place to learn skills or hear live music. Some teach cooking to seniors; some- offer free used books. Eating or working there is a reminder that we’ re all in this world together. '
My 10 am-1 pm shift at Healthy World Cafe began with the cafe manager — one of two paid staff members. Our volunteer crew wasn’t the most orderly,but we managed to prepare and serve meals with a lot of laughs in between. At the end of my shift,I ordered my earned meal at the counter,together with other volunteers. After lunch,I walked out the door,with a handful of new friends,music in my head and a satisfied belly and heart.
28. What did the author do at F. A. R.M. Cafe last summer?
A. She worked as a volunteer.
B. She overpaid for her food.
C. She ate free of charge.
D. She enjoyed a meal.
29. What is the advantage of community cafes compared with soup kitchens?
A. People can have free food.
B. People can maintain their dignity.
C. People can stay as long as they like.
D. People can find their places in society.
30. Why are community cafes becoming popular in the neighborhoods?
A. They bring people true friendships.
B. They help to bring people together.
C. Theycreatealotofjobopportunities.
D. They support local economic development.
31. How did the author feel about working at Healthy World Cafe?
A. It paid well. B. It changed her.
C. It was beneficial. D. It was easy for her.

Since the invention of Guitar Hero and similar computer games,it is no longer necessary to imagine what it would be like to play along with the Beatles - you can come together with them in the virtual world.
Bill Wyman,former bass player in the Rolling Stones,has pointed out that music video games discourage kids from learning to play real instruments. My own experience suggests quite the opposite.
Last year,I bought Guitar Hero III for our 14-year-old son,Jack. Jack quickly mastered the process and entered an intense period of playing the game.
A few months later,while I was away on tour,a couple of his friends came around with a real electric guitar. Playing Guitar Hero had taught them how to play along to a track. Now they wanted to see if they could apply that to the real thing. Jack's friends taught him how to play along to his favourite songs using just his index finger on the bass string. He got it right away.
Guitar Hero had helped him over the first difficulty for guitar players 一 how to strum the strings with one hand while making chord shapes with the other. He never plays Guitar Hero now,preferring to rock out in the garage with his mates.
Despite my attempts at getting him to learn an instrument,it was Guitar Hero that taught him the basics of playing and built up his confidence to the extent that he was able to make a recognisable sound the first time he plugged in.
So let's not complain about a game that encourages kids to become music fans and,in our son's case,gives them the basic skills needed to learn how to play guitar.
24. What's Bill Wyman's attitude towards music video games?
A. Approving. B. Negative.
C. Unconcerned. D. Curious.
25. The first time Jack played with a real electric guitar,he.
A. did it successfully
B. taught his friends how to play
C. didn't know how to strum the strings
D. didn’ t know how to play along to a song
26. Jack's case shows .
A. Guitar Hero is a useful game .
B. kids should learn an instrument
C. parents should encourage their kids
D. computer games are harmful for kids
27. What's the best title for the text?
A. A new computer game
B. The story of a guitarist
C. In defence of Guitar Hero
D. The best way to play guitar

Parents who help their kids with homework might feel disappointed after knowing what two researchers Angel L. Harris and Keith Robinson have found.
“We need to do away with the assumption that anything parents do will help. That assumes that parents have all the answers,but actually they don't,” Harris said.
“We found that when parents from various racial and socioeconomic groups regularly helped their child with homework,in most cases,it made no difference for the child's improvement in their test scores in reading,math,and their grades ,” Robinson said.
Could the findings simply reflect the fact that kids struggling with school ask for more homework help,thus making it look as though children who get more help do worse? No,Harris said,because the researchers measured the change in achievement among all kids,including those who performed well in school. The effect of parental homework involvement was the same across the board.
“Parents tend to hold the reins when it comes to how they’ re going to help with homework without consulting the child,” Robinson noted. “So maybe parents could ask kids, ‘Is what I'm doing helping you? How would you want me to help? ’ In this way,kids may benefit more from parents’ help."
Vicki Davis,a high school teacher,said she's seen her share of parents doing the assignments for their kids,especially writing papers,or taking charge of important and big projects. Davis expects elementary school students to get help from parents because they're still learning study skills,and she doesn’t mind if older students talk “big picture” with their families about a project. But in general,parents should limit their involvement in making sure kids are completing their homework,she advised.
Kerry Lyons,a mother of five in Irvington,N.Y., said the research findings are a “huge relief." Lyons works full time,so when she gets home,her kids — three kindergartners,one second-grader and one fourth-grader 一 are usually done with homework.
29. It was found that parental homework involvement generally.
A. has a poor effect
B. has a lasting effect
C. has a negative effect
D. has a significant effect
30. The underlined part “hold the reins” in Paragraph 5 can best be replaced by “”.
A. show up B. get ready
C. watch out D. take control
31. Who does Vicki Davis want parents to help with homework?
A. High school students.
B. Primary school students.
C. Students who are writing papers.
D. Students who perform poorly in school.
32. How did Kerry Lyons find the research findings?
A. Exciting. B. Surprising.
C. Comforting. D. Disappointing.
