Listening in class is not like listening to TV programs, listening to a friend, or even listening to a speaker at a meeting. The difference, of course, is that what is said in class is helpful to your success in the class. Knowing how to listen can help you get more out of what you hear, understand better what you have heard, and save your time in the process.
Here are five strategies (策略) that will help you be a more effective (有效的) listener in class:
Be ready for the message.
Prepare yourself to hear, to listen, and to receive the message.
________
Even if you are an expert on the topic, you can still learn something new. Supposing you have already heard all this before means that your mind will be closed to any new information.
________
Hearing sounds is not the same as hearing the intended message. Listening involves hearing what the speaker wants you to receive, to understand, and to learn.
________
Decide whether you think what you have heard is useful. Reflect on the new information.
________
If you did not hear or understand what was said, raise your hand! Now it is the time to clarify things. Typically, one student will ask a question that many students in the room are wondering about.

B. Think twice.
C. Really hear what is said.
D. Take as many notes as possible
E. Listen for new ideas.

In many places, wildfires destroy(毁灭)thousands of square kilometers of forest and farmland each year. They can spread out of control and put homes and sometimes whole towns in danger. To keep the homes and towns safe, wild grass and brush(柴枝)must be cleared. This need has led to an interesting solution(办法), which has many advantages.
First, goats and sheep spend all their time eating grass. When they arrive in an area, they can clear an acre(英亩)in as little as three days. Besides, they are more environmentally friendly than machines, and they can clear grass on hills where people and machines cannot arrive.
Goats have been widely used in California for clearing brush around farms, neighborhoods, and cities. An example is the city of Anaheim, which is home to Disneyland. The city uses goats to clear the nearby hills all year round. The goats can have their stomachs filled, and the city can be out of danger. It is really a win-win!

What do you read when you are travelling by train or bus? What are other people reading? Maybe a woman sitting near you is reading a love story. A man is reading a serious biography(自传) about a president. And there’s a student reading an English textbook.
What do their choices (选择) say about them? Do you think you can know them by what they are reading? I have got to tell you that your feelings of them may be quite wrong. The woman reading the love story could be a lawyer. She just wants a light read to take her mind off work. The man reading the biography wants you to think that he is very clever. The student reading the textbook isn’t a student at all. In fact, she’s an English teacher.
Publishers (出版商) know that some people care what they read on trains or buses and so they put out different kinds of covers. For example, books about Harry Potter have a cartoon cover for young readers and then another more serious cover for grown-ups.
So next time you are on a train, look around and see what other people are reading, but don’t jump to any conclusions (结论). You will be wrong maybe.
Here is a sentence that you could say, “Don’t judge (判断) a book by its cover”.

When you are talking to a friend, you sometimes try to change his or her mind ( 想 法 ) . But it is very possible that you find it hard. Here are some tips you can try.
First of all, please don’t change your talk into a quarrel (吵架) at any time. It is better to show the ideas and facts. By showing facts, you show that you are right.
Secondly, don’t say “You’re wrong”. If you think someone is wrong, a better way to point it out is to use “may/might be wrong”, not “you are wrong”. This opens up the door for both of you to talk about your ideas. It shows that you’re open to new ideas.
Thirdly, get the other person to say yes. You may begin talking about the hobbies he or she has. A small talk like this will make it easier for your friend to accept (接受) you and then they will be more open to your ideas. It makes you two trust each other.
And don’t forget to let the other person talk enough. By listening to them talk patiently, you show that you really care about what they think. This will earn respect (赢得尊重) and trust. So when it’s your turn to talk, they’ll listen.
In a word, you should respect others all the time when you don’t agree with each other. And, don’t feel down if your friend isn’t willing to change. A gentleman gets along with others, but doesn’t necessarily ( 必 要 地 ) agree with them, right?
It may be hard to change your friends’ mind. But you can try. | |

Moving into a new home in a new neighborhood is an exciting experience. Here are three tips to help you become a good neighbor that everyone likes quickly.
★ Taking care of what belongs to you.
Perhaps one of the most important things you can do as a good neighbor is to keep your home tidy, clean, and in good repair. People seem to take pride in keeping everything on their street fresh and in order. By keeping the outside of your home in great shape, you will help to improve the look and feel of the whole area.
★ Caring about the neighborhood’s appearance.
Would you like to take the whole appearance of the neighborhood seriously? Will you pick up the waste paper thrown out from a passing car when taking a walk in the neighborhood? This small act will let your neighbors know that you really care about the area.
★ Being helpful and respecting others.
A good neighbor is also one who likes to help out in small ways. If a neighbor is going to be out of town, offer to collect mail and newspapers. If a neighbor feels unwell, help to do the daily shopping. Let them know that you are there to help in any way, while still respecting the privacy(隐私) of your neighbors.
Being a good neighbor is more or less about proper and understanding behavior. By following the basic rules, you will quickly make it.
