A dog can't speak any words, but it can "talk". It has feelings just as you do. Sometimes it may feel angry or afraid. Watch a dog closely, and you can find out how it feels.

"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).

Maybe you know floods, earthquakes, sandstorms and so on. But have you heard of typhoons?

Typhoons are some of the worst storms, usually around the Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea. Most happen in July, August and September.

How does a typhoon happen? When lots of sea water gets hot in the summer sun, it evaporates（蒸發(fā)）into the air. This makes the air hotter. When the air gets warm enough, it starts to move higher up into sky. Then cooler air around it rushes in. It fills the space that is left. After the air gets warmer, it starts to move quickly, making wind. The wind goes in circles（圓圈）and it keeps moving higher in the sky. The warmer the air gets, the quicker the wind moves. And when the wind moves faster than 30 metres a second, a typhoon begins.

A typhoon has two parts, one is called the "eye". In the eye, the wind does not move so fast. The other part is the wall of clouds around the eye. Here are the strongest winds and hardest rains.

Typhoons are very dangerous. What shall we do when a typhoon hits?

● Stay inside. Close all the windows and stay away from them.

● Try to bring all of your things inside. Strong winds could even blow away your bikes!

● Listen to the radio or TV for important information. .

● If you're told to go to a safer place, do it right now.

C.a weather report D.a science magazine

2.Typhoons often happen_______.

d. The air gets warmer.
