Searching for the truth

　　Collecting mid writing news is like researching in history: the best information comes from those who were there at the time．So if we want to study the history of China in the sixth century AD , we look at the writings of the people who lived then．They are called the primary sources because they tell us what it was like to live then．People at a much later date who write about the same events are called the secondary sources．For example, when we read the original writings of Jia Sixie on agriculture ,we are reading a primary source ; when we read about Jia Sixie in our textbook we are reading secondary source because the passage was written about him and his ideas many years after he died．

　　When we make news we use primary and secondary sources．We can see this most clearly in TV programmes．As we watch the news on TV , the person presenting the programme in the studio is the secondary source(because he tells us about the news)and the reporter in Iraq or Washington is the primary source(because he is telling us about what is actually happening there)．Without these reporters acting as primary sources ,you would never find out what really happened in a war, earthquake ,sports meeting , concert or festival．These reporters explain what is happening so we have a clearer idea of what is going on there．They often take photographers with them who act as primary source by giving pictures of events．

　　In a newspaper the position is different because these two roles are often combined．This means a reporter who investigates a story may be the same person who writes it．If this happens , the reporter is both the primary and the secondary source．But the photographer who works with him /her is still a primary source．

　　One of the reasons that it is important to separate primary and secondary sources is that they help us to decide what is a fact and what is a opinion．A fact is something that everybody agrees has happened．An opinion is somebody’s idea of what happened．So facts and opinions are often mixed in any report , whether in a newspaper or on TV．

　　[1]One out of many important things for the whole family to do is to have dinner together．Researchers began reporting the benefits of family dinner about a decade ago, focusing mainly on how it affects children．Studies show that those families who eat dinner at least 3 or 4 times a week together, benefit in many ways．

　　[2]Eating together helps families achieve open communication and build stronger and healthier relationships．Children have better grades at school and are better adjusted as teens and adults, and the entire family enjoys healthier nutrition．For many families, eating dinner together proves to be a good and effective way to reduce the risk of youth rates of addiction, and helps to raise healthier children．It is also a great time to share the events of the day, discuss news and ideas and just be together and enjoy each other's company．

　　[3]During dinner time parents have better opportunity to show that they are the prior to their children．Sitting at the same table and sharing meals is where and when parents can find out more about their children's school performance, daily activities and attitudes toward life．When parents have all this information they can better direct their kids toward positive things in life．They also have better chance to reduce the possibility that children will get involved with alcohol, tobacco, and illegal drugs．

　　[4]However, family researchers say that the benefits of family dinner by no means can be considered as automatic．Parents can sit down to dinner with their kids every day and achieve nothing．________ if there is too much arguing going on, if there is no meaningful conversation or, what is even worse, if there is just plain silence during gathering．

　　When difficult people exptures themeelves orally, they generally want at least two things:they've been heard and they've been understood．As a good communicator should be a good listener, five steps are advocated toward good listening．

　　The first step is cooperating(合作)．How does a difficult person know that you're listening and understanding?In fact, it's through the way you look and sound while he is talking．You may help him to fully express his thoughts and feelings．You do this by nodding your head in agreement, making cartain sounds of understandiey．

　　When the peron begings to repeat what's been said, is's a two:turning that you repeat some words he is using, sending a clear signal the you've listening carefully and that you think what he is saying is important．

　　Having heard what he has to say, the next sterp is clarifying．At this point, you start to gather information about whoat is being communicated．Ask same open-ended questions, which will allow you to figure out what intention he is hoping to satisfy．

　　The fourth step is to summarize(概括)what you've heard．This allows you to make sure that both you and the difficult peson the same page．When you do this, two things happen First, if you've twisses shinething, he can fill in the(细节)．Second you've shown that you're making an effort to understand cometely．This increases possibility of gaining cooperation from him．

　　Having listened carefully, you've now arrived at the point of confirmning with the person that he feels satisfied that this thoughts have been fully voiced．Ask if he feels understood．

　　Then emough sincere listening, questioning, and remembering are brought together, understanding is usually achieved and a difficult person hecomes less difficult and more cooperative．

　　　　1　　, I desire those who will share my happiness, who possess wings of their own and who will fly with me．I seek friends whose qualities illuminate(照亮)me and train me up for love．It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours, too good not to share．

　　　　2　　, I had a friend．We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors．We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say: “Let's start with a train whistle today．” We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle．Then we would read them aloud．At the end of that school year, we, too, were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped．

　　　　3　　, I had a friend, He was in despair(失望)and I was in despair．But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time．We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things．We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted．We gave London to each other．

　　For almost four years I have had remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine．We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves．Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other's dreams．She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind．In my most interesting moments, I often think: “Yes, I must tell…．” We have never met．

　　　　4　　．One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist，who will only fill up the healing silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend．
