Communication is one of our most important ways of being in the world as human beings.     37     It is an art because if you practice it enough times you will master it. It is a science in that there are rules that must be followed for communication to occur. It is the communication that has changed our world. However, many of us have difficulty communicating with each other effectively.     38    .

·Important contexts. For communication to occur there has to be a sender and a receiver. There needs to be someone who is speaking and someone who is listening. There has to be a context for that communication to locate the message.     39     The receiver can better understand the message behind the message, the subtext of the message and so on with the help of the context.

·    40     Communication requires that barriers (障碍) be laid to rest so the sender and the receiver of the message can be in contact with each other. Barriers to communication include noises, not giving your full attention, speaking on your cellphone while the other is talking. In today’s multi-task work, it’s no wonder there are so many troubles — not only at home, but also in workplaces, places of worship, meetings, etc.

·Rewarding listening. Listening is hard work. It is difficult but with practice, listening can become as natural as eating an apple pie and an ice cream.     41     When you are not listening, the communication is not getting through. Listening does not mean being quiet and pretending you are giving your whole attention while your mind wanders to what’s for dinner or something like that.

A．Barriers in communication.

B．Communication is both an art and a science.

C．Listening is an active part of communication.

D．Communication is at the root of many of human problems.

E．The context is very important in getting a particular message across.

F．The context involves the place where the communication is taking place.

G．Here are some factors we should pay attention to if we want to make ourselves understood.

42. 短文改错

As the saying goes, time is money. And in my opinion, time is even precious than money. Why? Because when money is spent, we still have a chance to earn them back. But when time is wasting, we can never get it back. There is no doubt whether time is very limited, and even a minute is of great value. We should make fully use of time to do what should be done. It’s the pity that a lot of people still didn’t appreciate the value of time. They are wasting their time doing nothing of useful. We should form the good habit of race against time and make a difference in our world.

Rome had the Forum. London has Speaker’s Corner. Now New Yorkers have Liz and Bill.

Liz and Bill, two college graduates in their early 20s, have spent a whole year trying to have thousands of people talk to them in subway stations and on busy street corners. And just talk.

Using a 2-foot-tall sign that says “Talk to Me”, they attract conversationalists（健谈的人）, who one evening included a psychotic, and men in business suits.

They don’t collect money. They don’t push religion. So what’s the point?

“To see what happens,” said Liz. “We simply enjoy life with open talks.”

Shortly after the September 11 attacks, they decided to walk from New York City to Washington, a 270-mile trip. They found they loved talking to people along the way and wanted to continue talking with strangers after their return.

“It started as a crazy idea,” Liz said. “We were so curious about all the strangers walking by with their life stories. People will talk to us about anything: their jobs, their clothes, their childhood experiences, anything.”

Denise wanted to talk about an exam she was about to take. She stopped by for the second time in two days, to let the two listeners know how it went.

Marcia had led her husband to catch a serious disease. “That was very heavy on my mind,” Marcia said. “To be able to talk about it to total strangers was very good,” she explained.

To celebrate a year of talking, the two held a get-together in a city park for all the people they had met over the past year. A few hundred people appeared, as well as some television cameramen and reporters.

They will plan more parties or try to attract more people to join in their informal talks. Some publishers have expressed interest in a book, something the two say they’ll consider before making a decision.

46. What Liz and Bill have been doing could be described as __________ according to Liz.

A．pointless	B．normal
C．crazy	D．successful

47. Why are Denise and Marcia mentioned in the text?

A．Because they knew Liz and Bill very well.

B．Because they happened to meet the writer of the text.

C．Because they organized the get-together in the city park.

D．Because they are examples of those who talked to Liz and Bill.

48. What will Liz and Bill do in the future?

A．Go in for publishing.	B．Produce more television programs.
C．Continue what they are doing.	D．Spend more time reading books.

49. How do they like the idea of writing a book？

A．They have decided to wait a year or two.	B．They will think about it carefully.
C．They agreed immediately.	D．They find it hard to do that.
