         Communication theory (理论) often talks about how speakers should present their material (材料).
    However, listeners play the same important role. Some of them focus on the speaker, while others daydream
    or talk to a neighbor. What is the difference between these two kinds of listeners? Generally speaking,
    effective (有效的) listeners have discovered the advantages of paying close attention. Not having experienced
    the rewards of paying close attention, ineffective listeners continue to wonder why they can't remember what
    they "heard" or why they do poorly on tests.
         How do effective listeners manage to pay close attention? First of all, they avoid letting poor circumstances,
    like an uncomfortable seat, a personal problem, or the speaker's mannerisms, distract (分心) them. Instead,
    they "tune out" anything that will keep them from understanding and remembering what they hear. After leaving
    a lecture or meeting, they remember what was said,not the room conditions or the poor delivery of the speaker.
    On the other hand, ineffective listeners who think they are paying attention to the message can be easily
    daydreaming.
         In order to prevent probable distractions, effective listeners actively but objectively focus on the message
    itself. They do not prejudge the speaker as representing a viewpoint which is completely different from their
    own, nor do they prejudge the material as boring,too easy,or too difficult. Effective listeners accept the new
    ideas. To help themselves become actively concemed with the speaker's message,effective listeners write down
    important words and phrases as a reminder of difficult ideas.
          Ineffective listeners don't like theoretical material;they may pretend to listen but daydream instead to avoid
    hearing what they don't agree with or readily understand. Moreover, rather than attending to meaning itself,
    ineffective but well-intentioned listeners might be so interesteq in taking a lot of notes that they miss the
    speaker's main idea. These listeners leave a speech or a class with a notebook full of words.
         Clearly, a certain amount of effort is concemed with (与...有关) listening actively, objectively, and openly
    to new ideas. But as that effort begins to pay off for ineffective listeners, they too will develop this skill as a
    beneficial lifelong habit.
    1. The underlined phrase "tune out" means "_____".
    A. deal with
    B. pay no attention to
    C. pick out
    D. think about
    2. Which of the following statements is close to the writer's opinion?
    A. Listeners will develop listening skills if they copy all the words the speaker said.
    B. Listeners may remember what was said if they prejudge the speaker's viewpoint.
    C. Listeners should accept the new ideas and write down important words.
    D. Listeners can daydream to avoid hearing what they don't understand.
    3. The main purpose of this passage is to _____.
    A. point out the results of effective listening
    B. describe the listening habits of poor listeners
    C. discuss the methods which are used by all kinds of listeners
    D. state the differences between effective and ineffective listeners

    It can’t be true that when in Rome do as the Romans do. So it’s necessary for you to know what you can talk about with the local people in other countries.

    In France

    You’ll find that conversations often turn into heated discussions. You’d better give opinions only on subjects that you are knowledgeable about. There is seldom a moment of silence, except when the topic under discussion has been finished, and nothing new has been introduced.

    Food, art, music and current events or history are welcome topics. The French believe in freedom, and you can criticize（批评）anyone, but not Napoleon, who stands for the French spirit. Moreover, never use the conversation opener “What do you do?”

    In Australia

    Generally speaking, the Australians are excited about discussions. Many topics may be open to discussion, including religion and politics. The best way, however, is to wait for Australians to bring up these two subjects; be prepared to listen to what they are talking about.

    The Australians like to criticize themselves, but they can’t stand being criticized by others. Don’t talk big. Instead, the Australians prefer to judge（判断）your abilities through your actions. People who show off their education in conversation may be laughed at.

    In Switzerland

    The Swiss may seem cold. Once you get close to them, however, you’ll find that they are honest, responsible people, who will respect your interests much.

    They are good listeners and will remember almost everything you say to them. Sometimes they will even take notes while you speak. The Swiss are a very private people, so you should avoid asking personal questions. They can be rather serious, so it is advisable to avoid playing jokes on them.
