4 . Super communicators are people who are consistently able to create real connections with others just by listening and talking. The following are four habits of super communicators.

They know what kind of conversation they’re having. Super communicators are usually able to respond accordingly. If you’re having a practical conversation, your friend might ask you to help make hard decisions.     1     If your friend is just expressing his feelings, you just need to be a good listener.

They prove they’re listening. There are plenty of ways to appear like you’re listening, like making eye contact or nodding. To do that, experts suggest a technique called “cycle for understanding”. Ask a question and listen to the response. Repeat what they just told you. Ask your conversation partner if you got what they said correct.     2    

They ask a lot of the right questions. Research shows that highly effective communicators tend to ask 10 to 20 times as many questions as everyone else. They may simply be follow-up questions like “What happened next?”. Super communicators also ask questions that get people to open up.     3     They ask about people’s values or experiences and create an opportunity for emotional connection.

    4     The goal of a discussion isn’t to impress someone, convince someone or wait for their turn to speak. It’s to genuinely comprehend someone else’s point of view and share their own views accordingly. The right response creates an atmosphere of trust and openness that both parties can benefit from.     5    

A．They aim to understand.

B．Experts call them “deep questions”.

C．They are persuasive communicators.

D．The decisions should be easy to carry out.

E．This practice sounds simple but is powerful.

F．Then you should be ready to give good advice.

G．And that is actually the most magical thing that can happen.

8 . 阅读下面10个句子，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

A few days ago, I began reading a story,     1     young people in Beijing are getting or creating digital “companions” to ease their loneliness over a romance gone bad. The avatars are perfect “boyfriends” or “girlfriends”. They can hold a conversation, are “cute” and never lose     2     (they) temper.

For someone who just got out of a relationship, the benefits     3     (provide) by the digital relationship are comforting.  

In a lot of science fiction, visionary writers “explore” a world where cybernetic organisms, which is a fancy way of saying a robot, wed or become lovers to     4     human being. They see that as the future and the reality is     5     (probable) closer than we think. The future seems to be already here in Beijing.

In the science-fiction TV series The Orville, a series created by     6     (comedy) Seth MacFarlane partly based     7     the popular and long-running Star Trek, the ship’s doctor marries a robot/cyborg at the end of the     8     (three) season in the 10th episode finale.

The whole thing came off naturally. The groom’s family     9     (compose) entirely of a robot species called the Kaylon. They all showed up at the wedding.

It seems robots, AI or cyborgs will fundamentally change the way we grow crops, fight wars or even entertain ourselves.

The way science is going, AI and robots     10     (be) in every part of our daily lives within the next decade.
