1 . What Is Active Listening?
Active listening is a special way of communicating. Its goal is to make it easier for people to clearly express ideas and feelings. It can lead to a better understanding between a speaker and a listener.
Once the speaker finishes talking, you should repeat the main points of what he or she just said.
Active listening is very useful for people who live or work together. Family members and co-workers often have bad listening habits. They react to each other based on what they expect the other person to say rather than on what is actually said.
A.An active listener first listens carefully, without talking |
B.Doing that lets the speaker know how well you understood what was said |
C.You do not have to agree on everything |
D.Active listening can be guided by a third person, such as a therapist |
E.Instead, focus on understanding what is being said |
F.Active listening gives them a way to break this pattern |
G.The speaker and the listener then switch roles |
2 . The concept of “Smart Asian Games” is deeply rooted in all aspects of preparations for Hangzhou Asian Games. Zhejiang promotes the intelligent level of Hangzhou Asian Cames with advanced technologies, and strives to present a spectacular event.
The intelligent operation & maintenance platform makes venue(场馆)management more elaborate. In Asian Games Intelligent Management Centre, various data of Hangzhou Olympic Sports Centre Stadium and Hangzhou Olympic Sports Centre Tennis Centre such as venue energy consumption, visitor flow and traffic flow are recorded in the intelligent management platform, which is convenient for working personnel to conduct management. In addition, the smart venue management system of Tonglu Equestrian(马术)Centre also integrates meteorological(气象学的)monitoring data, to carry out real-time monitoring for weather conditions around venues, and provides guarantee for event operation.
Smart robots offer more efficient services. At Gongshu Canal Sports Park Gymnasium, smart robots can provide venue guides, event explanation, question answering and other services for audiences, and can also start the automatic patrol(巡逻)function. Moreover, the intelligent monitoring system of each venue can detect faults and inform relevant personnel on time for handling.
Advanced technology achieves a better watching experience. On the external road of Shaoxing Baseball & Softball Sports Centre, the self-driving bus decorated with Hangzhou Asian Games element patterns shuttles among Asian Games venues to facilitate the travel of audiences. Passengers can also enhance the watching experience by adjusting the interior lighting and temperature on the intelligent screen of the vehicle. Hangzhou Asian Games Organising Committee launches Smart Hangzhou 2022 as the first one-stop digital watching service platform in the history of the international large-scale comprehensive sports events. It provides the one-stop service from ticket purchase, travel and watching to accommodation, catering and tourism.

I take part in the Cultural Exchange Week in London last month. Honest speaking, I enjoyed myself in a city. I paid a visit a city museum and some places of interest. They made me have a better understanding of the British society, culture or history. Of course, I also made several new friend there, who hobbies are similar to mine. What’s more, I was lucky to call on a pen friend, Johnson, who had been in touch with myself for a long time. I will never forget the most happiest days that we spent together. When returning to China safely, I felt very satisfying.

7 . Trees are one of the oldest “citizens (公民)” of our Earth. They keep our air clean, reduce noise pollution, improve water quality and provide food and building materials.
Just like us, trees change a lot as they grow. At 1 to 3 years old, young trees learn how to protect themselves. For example, many trees grow thorns (刺) to warn animals not to go near Most young trees have large, deep green leaves so that they can catch enough sunlight and change it into their food and energy.
When trees are 4 years old, they begin to grow very rapidly and become strong enough to face challenges later in life. At the age of 15, trees become young adults. Afterwards, they grow more slowly and begin to produce flowers and fruit.
It is not until the tree is 20 to 25 years old that it becomes a real adult. The tree reaches its largest size. The adult tree gives us shade, oxygen and natural beauty; it is also a great place for a tree house, or a place for us to read a book, listen to music and so on. If we give the adult tree proper care, it will go on to live healthily for many years.
Gradually, trees begin to grow older and older and even die. At this time, they still have their important place in nature. When a tree becomes hollow (空心的) or part of it becomes dead, it provides a home to small animals and is a source of food for many other animals.
In many ways, the life of a tree is like our own life experience. When we are looking at the life of a tree, we learn that each period of life brings its own form of joy and challenge. So, let’s enjoy every minute of our life and take care of it like planting a tree!

9 . Why was school created?
If you’re honest with yourself, though, you know what a great place school is.
Schools are not a new invention. You may have seen some old one-room schoolhouses that have been around for several hundred years or more.
In fact, education dates back to the very first humans ever to live on Earth. Why? To survive, every generation has found it necessary to pass on its knowledge, skills, values, and traditions to the next generation. How can they do this? Education! Each subsequent generation (后代) must be taught these things.
Rather than every family being responsible for education, people soon found out that it would be easier and more efficient to have a small group of adults teach a larger group of children.
A.In this way, the idea of school was born. |
B.The earliest schools, though, date back thousands of years. |
C.At that time, schools focused on reading, writing, and maths. |
D.Ancient schools weren’t like the schools we know today, though. |
E.We’re sure that’s a question that every student asks from time to time. |
F.The earliest human beings didn’t need schools to pass along information. |
G.You have fun, learn all kinds of interesting things, and get to spend time with your friends. |
