Either we
2、are about what we want to say or we are unable to put it into the right words. And good listeners are as rare as speakers. Sharing, so vital to loving communication, stops when you sense the other person has listening. Any loving relationship will be if each party acts upon these suggestions:Tell me
3、 often that you love me, through your actions and words. Dont that I know it. I may look and even deny that I need the attention but dont believe me.

7、onsCompound DictationDiscussionBackground InformationWarm-up Questions The term “generation gap” first came into prominence in Western countries during the 1960s. It was used to describe the cultural differences between the baby boomers (those who were born just after World War II) and their parents
8、. Several examples of generational differences were prominent during the period. Rock music and soul music (灵乐), popular among the young, were mostly detested by their elders. Long hair on young males was frequently seen as a shocking act of rebellion against societal norms by their parents. Some tr
9、aditional mores (风俗) were crumbling. And many young people “dropped out” into the hippie (嬉皮士) counterculture. A common catchphrase of the era among young people was “dont trust anyone over 30.” The influence of the baby boomers was so significant that the entire generation was named “Man of the Yea
10、r” by Time magazine in 1966. Since then, the term “generation gap” has been used to describe differences in cultural norms between a younger generation and their elders. It occurs when older and younger people do not understand each other because of their different experiences, opinions, habits and

A speakers thinking is usually faster than a listeners; therefore, we should speak slowly and clearly when communicating with others. ( )( )FT The text ends with the sentence: “When we hear people complain that no one listens to th

26、d relationships with other people, even with those closest to us, can be difficult and requires good communication between one another. Good communication naturally involves both speaking and listening. But while we commonly e m p h a si z e t h e r o l e o f s p e a k i n g i n communicating with o
27、thers, we tend to neglect that of listening. Read the following text and see what it says about the role of listening in improving human relationships.Detailed ReadingHow Well Can We Listen?Kathleen T. McWhorterDetailed ReadingIt is not uncommon to hear people complaining that no one listens to them
28、 and no one understands them. Such complaints come not only from kids but also from adults. How often is this a vital cause in the failure of personal relationships? How often does it contribute to broken homes? How often do we hear of a married couple who fail to have communication, or of children
29、who feel deserted? It seems something must have gone wrong. Experts tend to resort to the term “generation gap” to explain the conflicts between parents and children. Can this term be applied to the cases mentioned above? Detailed ReadingThough there might be room for hesitation in the adoption of i
30、t when “generation” is taken into account, it is far from wrong to borrow the rest in making an analysis. There are bound to be differences, or gaps, in the opinions of two people that give rise to conflicts, and ways toreduce them are by no means easy to be sought, but it is equally true to say tha
31、t there is bound to be a solution to every problem. Part of the solution to human conflicts is to avoid misunderstanding. Detailed ReadingMisunderstanding often arises from a lack of communication. Curiously enough, in a modern society where not a few advanced technological means of communication su
32、ch as the mobile phone and pager have been developed, people are still confronted with this problem. Investigations show that technological inventions do help facilitate humancommunication. They also show that while there are more opportunities for personal contact, especially through verbal communi
33、cation, many people still find their listeners do not listen to them. Clearly, something is wrong with their listening ability. Detailed Reading People may wonder why their listening ability is undesirable when their hearing ability is physically sound. This is a basic mistake we often make. Very of
34、ten hearing is confused with listening, as they are so closely related. Believing that hearing is a physiological function, which comes to us naturally, we take it for granted that listening does not require much effort. Experts in the field of communications are quick to attack this belief. In thei
35、r view, listening requires hard work and energy. When people are listening, they have quicker heartbeats and faster blood circulation. Good listening, they think, is not as simple as it might seem. Detailed ReadingTo become a good listener begins with concentration. That looks easy on the surface. I
36、n too many cases, we have to listen to other people with physical and mental distractions around us. The ring of the telephone, the slam of a door or other human voices are some of the common physical distractions. The mental distractions in ones own mind, on the other hand, are much more difficult
37、to overcome, for many reasons. A speaker may not be able to keep pace with the working of the listeners mind. The average persons rate of thinking is faster than the average rate of speech. With much free time left at their disposal, the listeners are likely to be carried away by their own thoughts
38、and they soon lose their way. That is where the problem lies: listening too quickly. Detailed ReadingSometimes, the listener tends to skip part of what is being said unconsciously. Since each person has his own range of interests, when the speaker talks about something that is of no personal interes
39、t or concern to him, he would “switch off the talking.” Though he might nod his head or respond with gestures, his mind is wandering. This automatic control exercises its influence especially when the topic is too boring. Other psychological factors also come into play. A persons feeling towards the
40、 speaker can affecthis listening ability. If he has a poor impression of the speaker, because of his appearance or whatever, it is quite natural that he would not tune in to the words of the speaker. Detailed ReadingVerbal communication is a good means for people to understand each other. What has t
41、o be borne in mind is that, to ensure that good communication takes place, talking and hearing are just not enough. When we hear people complain that no one listens to them or no one understands them, we should be able to provide an acceptable explanation. Though there might be room for hesitation i
42、n the adoption of it when “generation” is taken into account, it is far from wrong to borrow the rest in making an analysis.Detailed Reading1. The pronoun “it” appears twice in the sentence. Do they refer to the same thing?Uncertainty.2. What does “room for hesitation” mean? Not wrong at all. 3. Wha
43、t does “far from wrong” mean? No. The first “it” refers to the term “generation gap”, while the second “it” refers to “to borrow the rest in making an analysis”.Detailed Reading4. Paraphrase the sentence. 当然,如果细究当然,如果细究“代的本义,那么这算不上特别贴切,代的本义,那么这算不上特别贴切,但是大可借用该术语的其他涵义来分析问题。但是大可借用该术语的其他涵义来分析问题。5. Trans
44、late the sentence into Chinese.When we use the term “generation gap” to explain communication problems mentioned above, the word “generation” may not be readily applicable as there may not be a generation gap between the people involved. But we can still analyze such problems from this perspective.C

It seems that the technologies invented to facilitate communication do not work and the problem is still there.People may wonder why th
