Question

【題目】 Communication is important for strong family relationships. However, if you don't truly listen to others, it can be difficult to communicate. Working on the following listening skills can help you communicate better.

Listening Actively

Focus on the speaker's words and not what you'll say next. When listening to a family member, pay attention to what's being said. When talking to someone, pay attention to the speaker and his thoughts, you can think of how you will reply later.

Make sure the speaker has finished talking before you talk. Instead of starting your reply at once, a couple of seconds of silence is not a bad thing.

Communicating Effectively (有效的)

Retell what has been said. Try to briefly conclude what you have heard when the speaker finishes. It will really show you're listening and allow you and your family to communicate better.

Reflect (思考，回顧) on what's been said. After talking, reflect briefly on the subject. Try to work out not just what's being said, but also why it is important.

Accept you don't always have to solve someone's problems.

Avoiding Negative Habits

Do not cut in on others. Interrupting (打斷) can break effective conversation. Do not start talking until the other person has finished.

Stop from offering advice. Unless you are asked, do not offer advice. Offering advice can make it seem like you're not really listening but to hear what you want.

Do not change the subject early. Never change the subject before the speaker has got their words out, even if a subject makes you bored.

Avoid hurrying the speaker. Never say words like, "Can you get to the point?" This will make it seem like you're not interested in the conversation.

【解析】

這是一篇說明文，文章主要講述幫助你更好地溝通交流的三種方法：積極地聽、有效地交流以及避免一些負(fù)面的習(xí)慣。

【1】根據(jù)第一段“Communication is important for strong family relationships”溝通交流對(duì)建立強(qiáng)有力的家庭關(guān)系很重要。故答案為It is important for strong family relationships.

【2】根據(jù)第二段“When talking to someone, pay attention to the speaker and his thoughts, you can think of how you will reply later”當(dāng)和某個(gè)人講話時(shí)，注意說話人和他的想法。故答案為When talking to someone, you should pay attention to the speaker and his thoughts.

【3】根據(jù)第四段“Retell what has been said…It will really show you're listening and allow you and your family to communicate better”有效的交流需要重復(fù)已經(jīng)說過的話。故答案為Retell what has been said.

【4】根據(jù)第七段“Do not cut in on others. Interrupting can break effective conversation”打斷會(huì)破壞有效的談話。故答案為Because interrupting can break effective conversation.

任務(wù)型閱讀經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)的題型是回答問題，做題技巧是：①首先要先閱讀所給的任務(wù)，明確任務(wù)是什么，再帶著任務(wù)去閱讀，這樣就能做到心中有數(shù)，有針對(duì)性地去讀，才能提高閱讀效率；②第一遍泛讀，了解大意；③帶著問題，用跳讀的方式來尋找答案；④在完成所有任務(wù)后，還應(yīng)認(rèn)真核實(shí)答案，檢查一下書寫是否規(guī)范，句子的時(shí)態(tài)、人稱、單復(fù)數(shù)、語態(tài)、詞性、主謂搭配等是否正確。例如第二題根據(jù)問題when可知答案是時(shí)間狀語;第四題根據(jù)why可知用because來回答；第五題根據(jù)who可知答案與人有關(guān)。
