5 . How to Have Open Communication

When you can communicate openly, you can start improving your relationships, both personal and professional, in a number of ways.     1     There are a few things that you can do when you have an open conversation.

    2     Be mindful of where and when you need to have a discussion with someone, especially if you are having an important disagreement. Someone is not likely to be open when communicating if you are surrounded by family or out in public. Therefore, have a discussion when it’s more convenient for both you and your partner.

Have patience. When emotions are high, it can be easy to be swept in those feelings and want to get all your points across. But this can make communication more difficult because you are so focused on your feelings that you aren’t able to focus on what you need to say. Be patient and allow for silences that happen.     3    

Take the time to listen to what the other person is saying.     4     This allows you to see if there is any misunderstanding and allows you the time to understand his words accurately. You don’t need to agree on all his words, but it is important to understand where they’re coming from.

Be honest with your thoughts and your feelings. Sometimes we feel the need to soften our words to lessen the blow.     5     After all, when we leave out certain details, we’re not able to communicate openly. You need to be honest with your partner about your needs and your experiences. By doing so, you’re hopefully closer to being able to tackle the issue.

A．Wait for the appropriate time and place.

B．Discuss what you need to communicate openly.

C．Bring something positive into your communication.

D．This could be because we don’t want to hurt the other person.

E．Ask questions if you need to and even repeat what he has said.

F．Open communication increases trust and helps bridge differences.

G．Sometimes you need time to think and accurately express yourself.

6 . “Don’t be a victim.” That’s a phrase you’ll hear a lot if you take a crime-prevention class. Basically, it means that there are steps you can take to reduce the likelihood that you’ll be mugged, assaulted, or otherwise attacked. Don’t wave your cash around like you’re a billionaire. Don’t be distracted on the subway. Walk with a purpose.

That last one is particularly important, because according to a new study from the Journal of Interpersonal Violence, some criminals are very good at sensing weakness based on the way you walk. Actually, serial killer Ted Bundy admitted in a personal interview in 1985 that “he could tell a victim by the way she walked down the street, the tilt of her head, the manner in which she carried herself, etc…” Unfortunately, research demonstrated the reality that criminals do in fact look for, or at least notice certain characters when selecting potential victims. While nothing excuses crime, knowledge is power in the sense that there are things we can do to protect ourselves when we are out alone.

In the report titled “Psychopathy and Victim Selection” the researchers surveyed 47 criminals at a maximum-security prison in Ontario and found that social predators are very good at picking victims based on their posture and gait(步伐). They noted that people might be releasing vulnerability to criminals through their postures, gestures, and exaggerated movements.

The researchers secretly filmed 12 people walking — eight women and four men, some of whom had been attacked before. Then, they showed the video to a group of criminals and asked them whether or not each person would make a good victim. These “victim ratings” were then compared against each person’s actual history of victimization. Sure enough, the people whom the criminals picked as “likely victims” were usually the ones who had been victimized in the past. These people were often said to have “walked like an easy target” — slowly, unfocused, with short steps.

The sample size here is really small. Maybe we shouldn’t give this study’s findings too much weight. Nevertheless, it emphasizes something that seems pretty unconscious. Criminals aren’t looking for a challenge. Rather, they want someone timid and inattentive. So stride down the street like you own it. Your new, aggressive gait may scare off criminals. And even if this study turns out to be total bullshit, you’ll still get where you’re going a lot faster.

1. Why does the author mention the serial killer Ted Bundy?

A．To call on more people to learn psychology.

B．To prove that someone can be a natural criminal.

C．To demonstrate some skills to distinguish criminals.

D．To emphasize the importance of the right walking habit.

2. How did the researchers conduct their research on victim selection?

A．By analyzing crime data in various neighborhoods.

B．By filming people walking and getting criminals’ opinions.

C．By filming criminals as they selected their potential victims.

D．By studying the psychology of crime victims in a maximum-security prison.

3. According to the research which gait will most attract criminals’ attention?

A．Distracted walking with short steps.

B．Purposeful walking with slow steps.

C．Walking with a group of people cheerfully.

D．Walking with confident and exaggerated movements.

4. What’s the author’s attitude toward walking confidently and aggressively?

A．Favorable.

B．Doubtful.

C．Disapproving.

D．Indifferent.

9 . Soothe the Sunday Scaries

Most of us look forward to the weekend as a time to relax. But as the weekend comes to an end, many of us are missing out on “Sunday Funday” and instead experiencing a sense of anxiety and even dread about the upcoming week.

That sense of dread on Sunday can come from many different sources.    1     A reminder after a weekend of “me time” that will be given to your work the next five days. Exhaustion after a busy weekend, making you concerned about the demands of the coming week.       2     Here’s how experts say you can ease your end-of-weekend anxiety.

Identify your anxiety sources.

Anxiety is a normal human experience, and one of the main ways to manage it is to identify your personal triggers.       3     Is it a deadline, meeting or presentation?   Even if there’s not a single reason behind your Sunday anxiety, organizing the stress you expect from the week ahead into bite-sized chunks can help make it all more manageable.

Don’t forget to relax.

When structuring your Sunday, try not to cram in (塞进去) too many errands and chores.       4     Maybe a body meditation, maybe a mid afternoon shower or bath,   maybe an engaging movie or show. Whatever feels like a helpful distraction to get away from the scaries.

    5    

Getting rid of the Sunday scaries isn’t just about minimizing the doom and gloom of the week ahead. Having something to expect gives you something pleasant to think about. Instead of focusing on the awful things from the upcoming week, build excitement over a coffee or lunch date with a friend or workmate. This gives you the opportunity to shift your thoughts to something fun and will help improve your mood.

A．End your Sunday with the right energy.

B．Create excitement for the coming week.

C．Try to find out what’s really causing you to dread the week.

D．Structure can be a best friend when feeling the Sunday scaries.

E．Fear of failure, criticism at work, especially from high-pressure jobs.

F．It’s important to make space for relaxing activities to refresh yourself.

G．But even though the Sunday scaries are common, they are manageable.

10 . How do we make traditional Chinese culture alive and popular again among young people? Livestreaming (直播) has made it. It is not only fun, but has also provided a new stage for traditional culture artists.

On video websites and apps such as Douyin and Bilili, many traditional artists are trying livestreaming for the first time. Some of them sing Peking Opera, some show their hand-made art pieces, while others perform classical music.

Li, 59 years old, is a laosheng(old male role) Peking Opera performer who started livestreaming this year. Unlike performing on a formal (正式的) stage, Li uses everyday places as his stage, including his backyard, study room, and even a sofa. Besides singing, Li also teaches viewers about Peking Opera in a funny way. People can ask him questions and get answers directly. “Livestreaming has brought this great art down to earth,” one viewer said. “It allows young people to know this traditional art and learn more about it in an easier way.”

Other kinds of artists also see livestreaming as a new opportunity. On March 26, the third China Huafu Day, Bilibili livestreamed a fashion show. Performers showed beautiful clothes in traditional Chinese styles , including those from Wei, Tang and Ming dynasties. During the show, viewers enjoyed the clothes and watched how performers used ancient styles of make-up. For example, one blogger taught people how to draw the guiye eyebrow (桂叶眉), which was a typical make-up style during Tang Dynasty.

There is no doubt that livestreaming has created a new channel through which traditional culture can be kept alive.

1. We can guess from Paragraph 3 that Li, as a teacher, is ________.

A．Strict

B．lazy

C．humorous

D．scary

2. The writer talks about Li in order to ________.

A．help make Douyin and Bilibili more popular

B．teach where and how to perform Peking Opera

C．encourage young people to perform art at home

D．show traditional artists are using livestreaming

3. In history, the guiye eyebrow can be seen in ________ Dynasty.

A．Wei

B．Tang

C．Ming

D．Qing

4. According to the passage, livestreaming is ________.

A．a TV show to introduce traditional clothes from different dynasties

B．a way to bring traditional culture back to life by sharing online videos

C．a program to give students many traditional Chinese cultural lessons

D．a stage to give performers a chance to take photos of their everyday life
