"A wise(聰明的)old owl sat on an oak. The more he saw, the less he spoke, the more he heard. Why aren't we like that wise old bird?"-Edward H. Richards.

We all need to learn to listen well. Listening is a learned skill, the same as speaking in public. It just takes much longer to learn! Listening is a skill we should be practicing every day.

Listening shows others that they are important. It's a sign of respect(尊重). If someone listens to you carefully when you are talking, it shows that they are really interested in what you are saying.

How do you practice listening? Here are some tips:

Put down whatever is in your hands. Are you in the middle of writing something? Put down the pen and start to listen. Are you reading something? Close it so that it will be impossible for you to look down and start reading again. Then put it down.

Face the person you are speaking with. Facing the person you are speaking with will help you listen more carefully. It will also make the person feel that you find what he is saying important.

Mind your body language. Standing towards the speaker will show interest. Looking around the room shows you have no interest. Looking that speaker in the eye tells him that he is important.

Listen completely. Do not start making comments(評論)after the first few words. Do not start thinking about your reply in your mind. Listen to the speaker carefully and try to understand what he is telling you.

1.The writer begins the article with Edward's words in order to _____ .

A.help show his ideas B.help show his interest

C.make readers speak D.make readers listen

2.The third paragraph is mainly about________.

A.the way of listening to people B.the way of showing respect to others

C.the importance of showing interest D.the importance of listening

3.Which of the following is NOT the tips of listening?

A.We should put down what we are doing. B.We should look the speaker in the eye.

C.We shouldn't mind our body language. D.We shouldn't make comments at once(立刻).
