I suspect that the most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our  36 , and especially if it’s given from the  37 . When people are talking, there’s no need to do anything but  38 them. Just take them   39 . Listen to what they’re saying. Care about it. Most times caring about it is even more important than  40 it.
One of my patients told me that when she  41  to tell her story, people often  42  to tell her that they had once had something just like that happen to her. Subtly her pain became a story about themselves.  43  she stopped talking to most people. It was just too  44 . We connect through listening. When we interrupt what someone is saying to let them know that we understand, we move the  45  of attention to ourselves. But when we listen, they know we care.
I have ever learned to  46  to someone crying by just listening. In the old days I used to reach for the tissues(紙巾)  47  I realized that passing a person a tissue may be just another way to shut them  48 , to take them out of their  49   of sadness and pain. Now I just listen. When they have cried all they need to cry, they find me there  50  them.
This  51  thing has not been that easy to learn. It certainly went against everything I had been  52  since I was very young at school. I thought people listened only because they were too  53  to speak or did not know the answer. A loving silence often has far more  54  to connect than the most well-intentioned  55  .

-American office workers spend an average of 52 hours a week at their desks, according to a statistic survey. Some might argue that not all that time is spent working，but still all those hours in windowless offices with artificial light can have an influence.
A few green additions could have a large effect on worker happiness，according to the survey led by Tina Cade from Texas State University.
“We pretty much found out that if you had windows and plants or even if you just had plants in your office, you were more satisfied with your job,” Cade told LiveScience. “We thought it was important for offices because a lot of times people are looking for ways to keep employees happy and do all these expensive things like building a gym. Maybe for less investment they could put in a few plants in important places.”
The team surveyed 450 office workers in Texas and the Midwest，asking questions about job satisfaction and the work environments. When asked about their overall life quality,82 said they felt “content” or “very happy”. Only 69 percent of those who work with plants but without windows，and 60 percent of those who have windows but no plants, said they felt this way.
The group of people who work without plants or windows were  the most dissatisfied，with only 58 percent of them saying that overall they were “content” or “very happy”. While no one who works with plants，windows，or both reported they felt “miserable”, 0.8 percent of those who work in offices without either said they were “miserable”. “I was really surprised that having a plant in your office appeared to be more beneficial than having a window in your office,” Cade said. “Everybody says, ‘I need a window!’ but actually it seemed like a plant could be a suitable alternative.”
小題1:What does the passage mainly tell us?
A．Green plants can increase job satisfaction.
B．An easier way to increase job satisfaction.
C．What the best working environment is.
D．Who are happy with their job environment.
小題2:Among the 450 people surveyed, ________.
A．69 percent have plants in their offices
B．60 percent have windows in their walls
C．0.8 percent of them feel dissatisfied
D．a(chǎn)bout 18 percent of them are satisfied
小題3: According to the survey，the group of people who work without plants or windows ______.
A．didn’t feel content at all
B．a(chǎn)ll suffered from work pressure
C．were the most dissatisfied
D．worked with low efficiency
小題4: Which of the following statement is true?
A．The employers want to do little to keep employees happy.
B．Sometimes it doesn’t need much to increase job happiness.
C．A gym contributes less to job happiness than green plants.
D．Employers have tried every means to increase job happiness.

科目：高中英語 來源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

A federal agency on Tuesday called for a ban on all cellphone use by drivers -- the most far-reaching recommendation up to now — saying its decision was based on a decade of investigations into distraction-related(與分散注意力有關(guān)的) accidents, as well as growing concerns that powerful mobile devices are giving drivers even more reasons to look away from the road.
As part of its recommendation, the National Transportation Safety Board is urging states to ban drivers from using hands-free devices, including wireless headsets. No state now has made laws to ban such activity, but the Board said that drivers faced serious risks from talking on wireless headsets, just as they do by taking a hand off the wheel to hold a phone to their ears.
However, the concern was heightened by increasingly powerful phones that people can use to send e-mails, watch movies and play games.
"Every year, new devices are being on sale." she said. "People are attracted to update their Facebook page, to play music with cellphone, as if sitting at a desk. But they are driving a car."
The agency based its recommendation on evidence from its investigation of numerous crashes in which electronic distraction was a major contributing factor.
Ms. Hersman said she understood that this recommendation would be unwelcome in some circles, given the number of drivers who talk and text. But she compared distracted driving to drunken driving and even smoking, which required wholesale cultural shifts to change behavior.
"It's going to be very unpopular with some people." she said. "We're not here to win a popularity contest. We're here to do the right thing. This is a difficult recommendation, but it's the right recommendation and it is time."
The agency's recommendation is not required for states to adopt such a ban. And it won't likely be agreed upon by state lawmakers who are unwillingly to anger those who have grown accustomed to using their device behind the wheel.
The ban also deserves attention because it is the first call by a federal agency to end the practice completely, rather than the partial ban that some lawmakers have put in place by allowing hands-free talking.
小題1:The ban on all cellphone use by drivers was put forward______.
A．a(chǎn)fter a long discussion and recommendation
B．a(chǎn)fter about ten years' investigation in it
C．because of the most powerful mobile devices
D．for the reason of heading away from the road
小題2:From the second paragraph we know that now______.
A．it is legal to use wireless headsets while driving
B．wireless headsets are illegal in some states
C．it is safe to talk on wireless headsets while driving
D．hands-free devices can be used in some states
小題3:We can know from the passage that______.
A．electronic distraction resulted in numerous crashes
B．numerous crashes were caused by drunk driving
C．electronic distraction contributed much to the ban
D．the recommendation was based on electronic distraction
小題4:Ms Hersman thinks that distracted driving, drunken driving and smoking______.
A．a(chǎn)re just common behaviorsB．can be shifted to behaviors
C．a(chǎn)re behaviors to be changedD．a(chǎn)re just cultural behaviors
小題5:Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A．Cellphone Ban inCarsB．Valuable Ban for Cellphones
C．Drivers Ban CellphonesD．Cellphone Ban while Driving

In white shirt, blue pants, black cloth shoes and two pigtails, Jingqiu gives off an air of great "pure beauty" in Zhang Yimou’s new movie Under the Hawthorn Tree, which tells the story of the sad romance of Jingqiu and a handsome young man named Laosan set at the end of　the "cultural revolution" (1966-- 1976).
Before it was released, moviegoers foresaw what this "pure beauty" could be. Director Zhang complained of how long it had taken him to find the right girl for the part of Jingqiu -- a character so innocent. She believes that simply lying on the same bed as a man will make her pregnant.
It was 18-year-old Zhou Dongyu who stood out from the crowd. According to Zhang, Zhou has "eyes that are clear like a fountain on a mountainside". Born to an ordinary worker's family, the Shijiazhuang girl was in her final year of high school and working hard for a place in an art college.
"If you have fair skin and clear eyes, as Jingqiu does, it is easy to look pure. Girls today wear so many jewels and make-up--that's the reason Zhang was not interested," said Du Yanlai, 17, of Chengdu.
While some teenagers consider such "pure" beauty illusory, others believe that it speaks of something soulful.
Purity is all about an innocence that shines through from within, thinks 16-year-old Tan Mengxi of Nanjing. "Being pure can be simple, not having complicated thoughts and being inexperienced. However, it doesn't mean an ignorant or native person. So, a person is pure in his or her nature if he or she is always enthusiastic and able to deal with difficult matters independently. This purity doesn't pass with time, "she said.
小題1:What's the real purity according to Tan Mengxi?
A．Having eyes as clear as a fountain.
B．Not wearing so many jewels and make-up.
C．Being ignorant and native.
D．Being simple, enthusiastic and able to manage things alone.
小題2:What does the underlined word “illusory” mean here?
A．unreal.B．unhealthy.C．unscientific.D．negative.
小題3:What can we infer from the passage?
A．Zhou Dongyu, who was 18,was from an art college.
B．Director Zhang disliked those girls with so many accessories and make-up.
C．Different people have different opinions about purity.
D．Many young girls in China are eager to stand out.
小題4:The main idea of the passage is ______.
A．Why Director Zhang selected Miss Zhou as the leading star
B．How people like the movie Under the Hawthorn Tree
C．What makes a pure girl
D．Why Chinese girls want to be pure

TV Shows and Long Bus Trips
Long bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end— with ads thrown in every three or four minutes. The ads are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard appears outside the bus window.“Buy Super Clean Toothpaste.”“Drink Good’n Wet Root Beer.”“Fill up with Pacific Gas.” Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are you spared the unending cry of “You Need It! Buy It Now!”
The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if you’ve traveled that way before. Usually some things have changed—new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and it’s fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly daring, the ride can be as exciting as a suspense(懸念) story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left-hand lane?After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you’ve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.
The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there’s a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat, of course, has become harder as the hours have passed. By now you’ve sat with your legs crossed, with your hands in your lap, with your hands on the arm rests—even with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at the right time. There are just no more ways to sit.
小題1:According to the passage, what do the passengers usually see when they are on a long bus trip?
A．Buses on the road.
B．Films on television.
C．Advertisements on billboards.
D．Gas stations.
小題2:What is the purpose of this passage?
A．To talk about the similarities between long bus trips and TV shows.
B．To persuade you to take a long bus trip.
C．To display the differences between long bus trips and TV shows.
D．To describe the billboards along the road.
小題3:The writer of this passage would probably favor      
A．bus drivers who weren’t caring.
B．driving alone.
C．a(chǎn) television set on the bus.
D．no billboards along the road.
小題4:The writer feels long bus rides are like TV shows because     
A．the ads both on TV shows and on the billboards along the road are fun.
B．they both have a beginning, a middle, and an end, with commercials in between.
C．the drivers are always daring on TV shows just as they are on buses.
D．both traveling and watching TV are not exciting.
小題5:The writer thinks that the end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning because both are   
A．exciting.
B．comfortable.
C．tiring.
D．boring.

Have you ever wished that you could make your little sister’s teddy bear talk to her? Or have you ever wanted to bring a puppet (木偶) to life? If so, you may be interested in learning the art of ventriloquism (腹語術(shù)). A ventriloquist can make an ordinary object seem to be alive by giving it a personality, movement, and speech.
Your object can be a puppet, or a doll. Give your new “friend” a name, and then decide on the personality that he will have. The next step is to give your friend movements that agree with the personality you have chosen.
Now you can learn to make your “friend” talk. A ventriloquist will control his mouth and lips so that it will appear that his voice is coming from the object he is using. This will take practice, but you can do it.
First, decide on a voice that is different from your own. It could be higher or lower than yours, or could even have a special accent. Then, find a clean teaspoon and hold the handle between your front teeth. Now, using the voice you created for your friend and holding the handle of the teaspoon tightly between your teeth, look into a mirror and talk. Practicing with the spoon in your mouth will help you learn to keep your mouth from moving. Now try telling a joke in your normal voice and have your friend speak in his voice. Practice those words until you can say them without your lips moving at all.
Ventriloquism is fun. It also requires hard work to become good at it. The most important thing to do is practice. But if you are willing to take the time to give your friend an interesting personality, to practice lively movements, and to work on good mouth control, then you will be well on your way to becoming a ventriloquist!
小題1:According to the text, a ventriloquist           .
A．is a person who can make puppets
B．needs to work with another person
C．can speak without using his mouth
D．can make an object seem to speak
小題2:You need to hold the handle of a teaspoon between your front teeth so that           .
A．your voice will change
B．your mouth won’t move
C．you can look humorous
D．you can feel your mouth’s movements
小題3:If you want to be good at ventriloquism, you         .
A．need to spend much time practicing
B．must learn from famous ventriloquists
C．should learn at least one special accent
D．must have a great doll to practice with
小題4:What would be the best title for the text?
A．How to tell jokes
B．How to make puppets
C．Secrets of ventriloquism
D．Tips on making friends
