If you deal with difficult people around you, this is a must-read for you to not only understand them but also make them feel understood.Power Listening byBernard T. FerrariPoor listening can lead to poor business decisions. The book focuses on corporate (团体的) listening. Its great for anyone who leads groups through decision and design. The author offers a step-by-step guide to turn readers into active listeners.The Lost Art of Listening by Michael P. NicholsWhat is it that keeps so many of us from really listening?

They get a room for the night and the breakfast for the next morning.Rooms for the night in private (私人的) homes with breakfast have been popular with travelers in Europe for many years. In the past five to ten years, these bed-and-breakfast places have become popular in the United States. Many of these American bed-and-breakfast places have only a few rooms. Some bed-and-breakfast inns are old historic buildings. Some inns do not provide telephones or television in the room while others do.Staying at a bed-and-breakfast inn is much different from staying in a hotel. Usually the cost is much lower. Staying at an inn is almost like visiting someones home. The owners are glad to tell about the interesting places to visit in the area. Many vacationers say they enjoy the chance to meet local families.24.

All theme parks in Britain have cafes, restaurants, picnic areas and gift shops, so youll still have plenty to see and do when you and the kids have been on enough rides. There are usually smaller “funfair” rides and games as well, so younger children wont get bored. Several theme parks also have other attractions next to them, e.g. water parks often open all year round, unlike the theme parks.Whenever you are in Britain, theres likely to be a theme park within one or two hoursdrive, bus ride or train journey. Several theme parks even have accommodation (膳宿) so you can stay for a day or two if you want to make a trip into a short holiday.Prices for UK theme parks vary considerably; some have an entrance price which allows you to go on all the rides, while in others you have to pay for every ride individually. It can also make a difference whether you go during peak time or not. For example, tickets always cost more during school holidays and weekends than they do during the weekdays.Theme parks always get very busy during the summer months, so if you dont like crowds its usually a good idea to go earlier or later in the year!If youre thinking of visiting a UK theme park, its worth having a look for special offers on tickets. Products such as chocolate bars and cereals sometimes have “buy one get one free” offers on theme park tickets, so keep a look out in shops and supermarkets.28This passage mainly talks about all the following EXCEPT _.A. things to doB. prices for theme parksC. rules to obeyD. special offers29. If you go to the theme park during the weekdays, youll probably _.A. have to spend moreB. save some moneyC. have a good timeD. get something free30.

Introduction to Famous Theme ParksDEveryone who has eaten instant noodles knows that its very easy to cook them quickly. However, have you ever heard of the danger of eating them?When taking out the noodles from the packaging, you will notice that they are joined together nicely as a piece. Do you know that it needs some form of wax coating (蜡涂层) to make them joined together nicely? Many people dont really care much about it because this seems very normal. However, studies have shown that the wax coating is bad for our body.It is advisable to have a break of 2-3 days before we start to eat another packet of instant noodles because our body needs about 3 days to clear that wax coating away. Do you know the danger of having too much wax coating in our stomach? It will lead to CANCER if it is in our body for so long.Luckily, there is a way to reduce the danger before we eat instant noodles. First, wash the noodles with warm water, stir (搅拌) them and pour away the water containing the wax coating. Then repeat the first step and try to stir them again to wash away the wax coating on the noodles before cooking them. The shop vendors (供应商) will often wash away the dangerous wax coating.It is very easy to cook instant noodles but we must pay attention to the wax coating if we eat too much.
