Active listening is a structured form of listening and responding that focuses the attention on the speaker.The listener should listen to the speaker fully,and then repeat in the listener's own words what he or she thinks the speaker has said.1.However,he or she must simply state what he or she thinks the speaker said.This enables the speaker to find out whether the listener really understood.If the listener did not,the speaker would explain some more.
2.Thus,instead of just repeating what happened,the active listener might add that the speaker felt angry or confused when a particular event happened.Then the speaker can go beyond confirming that the listener understood what happened.It can also indicate that the listener understood the speaker's psychological response to it.
Active listening has several benefits.3.Second,it avoids misunderstandings,as people have to confirm that they really understand what another person has said.4.When people are in conflict,they often contradict each other, denying each other's description of a situation.5.However,if they feel that the listener is listening to their concerns they are likely to explain in detail what they feel and why.if both parties in a conflict do this,the chances of being able to develop a solution to their mutual problem become much greater.
A.The listener does not have to agree with the speaker.
B.For example,it forces people to listen attentively to others.
C.What's more,it tends to open people up,to get them to say more.
D.Often when people talk to each other,they don't listen attentively.
E.Often,the listener needs to interpret the speaker's words in terms of feelings
F.They realize that they should focus on how they can respond to win the argument
G.This makes people defensive,and they will either make verbal attacks,or say nothing more.

The Iranian-American Maz Jobrani knew early in life that he wanted to become an actor or a comedian. Jobrani came to California with his parents from Iran when he was six and attended school there. His introduction to acting was an experience of trying out for a school play. “When I was 12, I tried out for the school play and fell in love with the stage...” said Jobrani, “I have friends who were funnier than I was!”
Jobrani tried an ordinary career path, studying political science in college and even starting a Ph.D. Program at UCLA. But the comedy of Eddie Murphy was a more powerful influence. “I’m a comedian because I’m a fan of comedy. I love watching comedy and I believe I discovered Eddie Murphy probably by watching “Saturday Night Live” and just then I wanted to be like Eddie Murphy,” Jobrani said.
Now as a full-time comedian, Maz Jobrani uses comedy to bridge the cultural divide. His performances both laugh at extremism and challenge American bias(偏见)of Muslims. And his recent movie does the same. He co-wrote and started in “Jimmy Vestvood: American Hero.”
“The movie is about a man who loves America, who wins the green card coming to America from Iran. He wants to be a policeman. But once he comes to America, he realizes America doesn’t accept immigrants(移民)the way he thought they would and the only job he can find is working as a security guard(保安)and from there he has to go on to save the world.”
“This comedy has a message of showing Iranians in a very different light, a fun light that most Americans aren’t used to seeing,” he said. For example, he feared when he first heard the phrase “axis of evil,” which is used to describe such countries as Iran. But he soon realized it could also make a great name for a series of shows. So, in 2005, the “Axis of Evil Comedy” Tour came. The shows featured Jobrani and three other comedians of Middle Eastern descent(血统).The group first appeared on the American television channel Comedy Central.
It’s a good feeling when you realize it’s working. It’s the worst when you’re doing stand-up (单人说笑表演的)comedy and the audience doesn’t relate to you. But their laugh is like a drug keeping feeding you. It’s kind of like I were surfing. So whether it’s doing stand-up comedy or putting on a movie, your goal as a comedian is to make people laugh.
1.By introducing his comedian career, Jobrani tends to tell us that ________.
A. he is actually a born comedian
B. Americans’ lifestyle makes him a comedian
C. Eddie Murphy has a great influence on him
D. Murphy’s plays made him first like comedy
2.What do you know about Jobrani’s film “American Hero”?
A. It is all about his personal experiences.
B. It is about Iranians who are against Americans.
C. It mainly plays a joke on the US immigrant policy.
D. It makes fun of American bias of Muslims.
3.What do you learn about the “Axis of Evil Comedy” Tour?
A. It turns what’s frightening into something funny.
B. It is performed by Jobrani and two Iranians.
C. It blames the US’ unfriendly attitude to Iran.
D. It didn’t work well at the very beginning.
4.To comedians, ________.
A. stand-up comedy is difficult to perform.
B. the audience’s laughter is their power.
C. doing stand-up comedy is just like surfing.

Advertising informs consumers of newer products available on the market.It gives us information with everything from shampoo and toothpaste to computers and cars.But there is one serious problems with us.The information are actually very often misinformation.It tells us the products' benefits but hides its advantages.

Ever wonder where chocolate chip cookies came from?Or why we use waffles(华夫饼)as ice cream cones?
Mistakes that Worked,written by Charlotte Foltz Jones,award-winning author of non-fiction books for children, offers forty of these unusual tales,along with many interesting drawings and strange and amazing facts.
The book is divided into six parts: food,medicine,toys,accidental things,names,and I find the book great because if not for the book,I would never have known that something was actually accidentally created.Besides,I like to learn real information;I can't stand books with stories that aren't real.Although this is a non-fiction book and is about inventions,it is not a history of technology book;it's more of an easy reading book.This book would be attractive to both boys and girls,and it could actually be either an adult book or a children’s book.
Published in 1991,the book is a bit old and is showing its age now in 2016.Still,it contains lots of great information,even though some facts are not exact.I love the idea of a mistakes book,and I especially like the format, which allows readers to dip in and out of the book easily.However,the entries are not all equally strong. Additionally, if you don’t live in the US,the book makes little sense,since it is full of American references both historically and in terms of customs.
Anyway,Mistakes that Worked is a reminder that failure is not always the end.It is an enlightening book that encourages us to realize that taking risks and learning to experiment is often the best way to learn,even if we don’t end up creating something new and wonderful.
1.What kind of book is Mistakes that Worked?
A. It's a picture book. B. It's a science book.
C. It's an adult book. D. It's a historical book.
2.What can we infer about the author?
A. He reads too little.
B. He is a slow reader.
C. He is a great reader of non-fiction.
D. He enjoys reading books about inventions.
3.Which of the following does the author especially like about the book?
A. Its facts. B. Its organization.
C. Its entries. D. Its reference.
4.What is the author's opinion on the book?
A. It's a fun read. B. It's a perfect book.
C. It makes little sense. D. It's full of factual mistake

Given the tradition of students bringing apples to their teachers, it somehow seems fitting that an old apple barn(谷仓)will find a new life as a one-room schoolhouse. And it is just as fitting that a retired schoolteacher will become the caretaker of that historic treasure.
My friend Velma, a teacher for more than 30 years, has been retired for some time now, but that doesn’t stop her giving history lessons at the old Englewood School, located on her family’s
California farm. The lovingly restored building was constructed around 1850 as a home for a woodsman and later was used as apple barn. Then, in 1870 it began a new life as a schoolhouse.
Originally located in the nearby Englewood meadow, it was now moved its current site in 1978 by Velma’s late husband and his brother, Robert and Richard, who thought it would help keep
Velma busy in retirement. No nails had been used in the original construction, so each piece of wood had to be carefully marked and the building was reassembled(重装)on its new site. The brothers worked with much care and hard work to ensure a perfect fit of mitered(斜接的)corners.
After the relocation, Velma and her family furnished the school with some of its original desks. They also added a collection of schoolbooks, the oldest dating back to 1845. Perhaps the school’s most cherished souvenir is the diploma of student Hettie Essig, who graduated on June 30, 1904. Hettie’s daughter, Flora, presented Velma with the precious keepsake.
Nowadays Velma gives tours to local schoolchildren and other groups, who learn what it was like to attend school back in the good old days. She has kids ring the school bell, recite the Pledge of Allegiance and sing “Good Morning to You” as they might have done in days gone by. Then, with twinkling eyes and much enthusiasm, she tells the history of the school, and gives a short sample lesson.
1.The Englewood School was originally built as __________.
A. a man’ s house B. a schoolhouse
C. a restroom D. an apple barn
2.Which word can best describe the school’s being relocated?
A. Inspiring B. Refreshing
C. fashionable D. Challenging
3.What does the underlined part “the precious keepsake” in Para.4 mean?
A. The school’s original supplies
B. The collection of schoolbooks
C. The oldest schoolbook
D. The diploma of Hettie Essig.
4.Which can serve as the best title of the passage?
A. The Good Old Days in the Schoolhouse
B. A Mysterious Building with a Long History
C. A Historic One-room Schoolhouse
D. A Teacher Devoted to Restoring Old Buildings

Why play games? Because they are fun. Besides, following the rules, planning your next move, acting as a team member, these are all “game” ideas that you will come across throughout your life.
Think about some of the games you played as a young child, such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seek. Such games are entertaining and fun. But perhaps more importantly, they translate life into exciting dramas that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking turns and cooperating.
Many children’s games have a practical side. Children around the world play games that prepare them for work they will do as grown-ups. For instance, some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones, which sharpens the hand-eye coordination(协调) needed in hunting.
Many sports encourage national or local pride. The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games, bring athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly competition. People who watch the event wave flags, knowing that a good medal is a win for an entire country, not just the athlete who earned it. For countries experiencing natural disasters or war, an Olympic win can mean so much.
Sports are also events that unite people. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. People on all continents play it — some for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian soccer player, has discovered a way to spread hope through soccer. He created a foundation to provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a promising future.
Next time you play your favorite game or sport, think about why you enjoy it, what skills are needed, and whether these skills will help you in other aspects of your life.
1.Through playing hide-seek, children are expected to learn to ________.
A. be a team leader B. obey the basic rules
C. act as a grown-up D. predict possible danger
2.The underlined part in Paragraph 2 most probably means that games can _________.
A. describe life in an exciting way
B. turn real-life experiences into a play
C. make learning life skills more interesting
D. change people’s views of sporting events
3.According to the passage, why is winning Olympic medals so encouraging?
A. It inspires people’s deep love for the country.
B. It proves the exceptional skills of the winners.
C. It helps the country out of natural disasters.
D. It earns the winners fame and fortune.
4.What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Games benefit people all their lives.
B. Sports can get all athletes together.
C. People are advised to play games for fun.
D. Sports increase a country’s competitiveness(竞争力).

As it is known to us, fewer and fewer students do sports regularly, what makes them weak and easily tired. There are many reasons about this. First of all, some of the students complained that they have too many homework, resulting in less time to take exercise. Beside, some of them think that it is very difficulty for them to keep doing exercise, because it is a very hard thing.
Because lack of physical activities, many students are in poor health. I suggest that our school must take measures to encourage more students to take part in sports. For us students, no matter what busy we are, it is necessary to spare some time to do exercise.
