Your English is progressing well, the grammar is now familiar, the reading comprehension is no problem, you are communicating quite fluently, but: Listening is STILL a problem! First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening comprehension is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. The most important thing is to listen as often as possible. The first step is to find listening resources. The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The RealPlayer from RealM. The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet like a radio station. Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated (懊恼) by limited understanding. What should you do? Here is some of the advice I give my students: Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything. Stay relaxed when you do not understand even if you continue not to understand for a long time. Do not translate what you hear into your native language. Listen for the general idea of the conversation. Dont concentrate on detail until you have understood the main ideas. I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany. In the beginning, when I didnt understand a word, I insisted on translating it in my mind. This method usually resulted in confusion. Then, after the first six months, I discovered two very important facts. Firstly, translating creates a wall between the listener and the speaker. Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly. By remaining calm, I noticed that even if I didnt pay much attention, I could usually understand what the speaker had said.46. The best way to improve our listening is to _. A. practise as much as possible B. find as many listening resources as possibleC. use the Internet like a radio station D. speak naturally and read as much as possible47. Which of the following is a good habit when listening?A. Try to understand everything. B. Try to get the main ideas.C. Pay much attention to details. D. Translate each word in your mind.48. Why did the writer mention his / her experience in Germany?A. To prove the importance of translating.B. To show the problems of speaking a foreign language.C. To tell us the importance of staying calm.D. To point out an ineffective method of listening.BHarbour Cruises LTD.

He looked for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face he didnt, the girl with the rose.His interest in her had begun thirteen months before in a Florida library. Taking a book off the shelf he found himself intrigued, not with the words of the book, but with the notes penciled in the margin. The soft handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and insightful mind. In the front of the book, he discovered the previous owners name, Miss Hollis Maynell. With time and effort he located her address. She lived in New York City. He wrote her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to correspond. The next day he was shipped overseas for service in World War II.During the next year and one month the two grew to know each other through the mail. Each letter was a seed falling on a fertile heart. A romance was starting Blanchard requested a photograph, but she refused. She felt that if he really cared, it wouldnt matter what she looked like.When the day finally came for him to return from Europe, they scheduled their first meeting 7:00 PM at the Grand Central Station in New York. “Youll recognize me,” she wrote, “by the red rose Ill be wearing on my lapel.” So at 7:00 he was in the station looking for a girl whose heart he loved, but whose face hed never seen.Ill let Mr. Blanchard tell you what happened: A young woman was coming toward me, her figure long and slim. Her blonde hair lay back in curls from her delicate ears; her eyes were blue as flowers. Her lips and chin had a gentle firmness, and in her pale green suit she was like springtime come alive. Istaredat her, entirely forgetting to notice that she was not wearing a rose. As I moved, a small, attractive smile curved her lips. “Going my way, sailor?” she murmured.Almost uncontrollably I made one step closer to her, and then I saw Hollis Maynell. She was standing almost directly behind the girl. A woman well past 40, she had graying hair tucked under a worn hat. She was more than plump, her thick-ankled feet thrust into low-heeled shoes. The girl in the green suit was walking quickly away. I felt as though I was split in two, so keen was my desire to follow her, and yet so deep was my longing for the woman whose spirit had truly companioned me and upheld my own.And there she stood. Her pale, plump face was gentle and sensible, her gray eyes had a warm and kindly twinkle. I did not hesitate. My fingers gripped the small worn blue leather copy of the book that was to identify me to her.This would not be love, but it would be something precious, something perhaps even better than love, a friendship for which I had been and must ever be grateful. I squared my shoulders and saluted and held out the book to the woman, even though while I spoke I felt choked by the bitterness of my disappointment.Im Lieutenant John Blanchard, and you must be Miss Maynell. I am so glad you could meet me; may I take you to dinner?The womans face broadened into a tolerant smile. I dont know what this is about, son, she answered, but the young lady in the green suit who just went by, she begged me to wear this rose on my coat. And she said if you were to ask me out to dinner, I should
