My sister Jodie and I are always traveling for work. As jewelry designers, we need to go to a lot of shows. We can’t pack lightly and usually bring about four suitcases filled with our work.
Most of our stuff is made from heavy materials and metals. So part of the routine for us when we fly is getting stopped by security. Our jewelry sets off the alarms, and we’ve become accustomed to arriving early to go through private screenings. Most of the time, it’s not troublesome.
However, on our recent trip to a Paris trade show, we were stopped at security and asked to empty our bags. One of the agents walked over to another agent and they started whispering to each other. Both gentlemen came back, and one of them then told us that it seemed that we were carrying a very dangerous object.
My sister and I just said, “Huh?” Of course, we were a little concerned, thinking that maybe someone put something dangerous in one of our bags when we weren’t looking.
One of the agents then started to unpack our bags. I kept asking what he was looking for and then the object in question finally appeared. It was our Cosima necklace. It’s a piece of jewelry, with large, metal triangular spikes.
My sister and I looked at each other and breathed a huge sigh of relief. We started laughing and explained to the two male agents that it was just a necklace from our collection, not a weapon of mass destruction. They thought we were lying, and one agent kept repeating that he believed it was a weapon.
I tried to explain that we were jewelry designers going to a trade show, and this was simply a piece from our collection. But the agents didn’t buy it. Then a few women guards came over to assist. One of the women guards was holding an earring up to her ear and another was trying on a ring. Apparently, they liked our stuff.
It was only at this point that the male guards gave up. And I think they also got tired of listening to a bunch of women talk about jewelry. They let us through.
We took the names of the women agents and sent them a piece of jewelry when we got back to say thanks.
1.When the object in question finally appeared, the writer and her sister felt _______.
A. anxious B. relieved C. excited D. frightened
2.The writer and her sister were stopped by the agents because ________.
A. their suitcases were too heavy
B. the agents wanted to play a joke on them
C. they were suspected to carry dangerous objects
D. the agents wanted to admire the jewelry inside the suitcases
3.The underlined word “buy” in Paragraph 7 probably means ________.
A. doubt B. believe C. purchase D. understand
4.The writer sent the women agents a piece of jewelry in order to ________.
A. persuade them to buy her jewelry later
B. get help from them next time
C. show them her talent in designing jewelry
D. show them her gratitude for their assistance
5.According to this passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Someone put something dangerous in one of the writer’s bags.
B. The male agents didn’t believe the writer at first.
C. The female agents liked the jewelry.
D. The writer is always travelling on business.

Many people think that listening is a passive business. It is just the opposite. Listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work. It is because they do not realize this, or because they are not willing to do the work, that most people do not listen well.
Listening well also requires total concentration upon someone else. An essential part of listening well is the rule known as ‘bracketing’. Bracketing includes the temporary giving up or setting aside of your own prejudices and desires, to experience as far as possible someone else’s world from the inside, stepping into his or her shoes. Moreover, since listening well involves bracketing, it also involves a temporary acceptance of the other person. Sensing this acceptance, the speaker will seem quite willing to open up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener. True communication is under way and the energy required for listening well is so great that it can be accomplished only by the will to extend oneself for mutual growth.
Most of the time we lack this energy. Even though we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well, what we are usually doing is listening selectively. Often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder, as we listen, how we can achieve certain desired results to get the conversation over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us. Many of us are far
more interested in talking than in listening, or we simply refuse to listen to what we don’t want to hear.
It wasn’t until toward the end of my doctor career that I have found the knowledge that one is being truly listened to is frequently therapeutic(有療效的) In about a quarter of the patients I saw, surprising improvement was shown during the first few months of psychotherapy(心理療法), before any of the roots of problems had been uncovered or explained. There are several reasons for this phenomenon, but chief among them, I believe, was the patient’s sense that he or she was being truly listened to, often for the first time in years, and for some, perhaps for the first time ever.
1.. The phrase “stepping into his or her shoes” in paragraph 2 probably means _______.
A. preparing a topic list first
B. focusing on one’s own mind
C. directing the talk to the desired results
D. experiencing the speaker’s inside world
2.. What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2 ?
A. How to listen well.
B. What to listen to.
C. Benefits of listening.
D. Problems in listening
3.According to the author , in communication people tend to ________.
A. listen actively
B. listen purposefully
C. set aside their prejudices
D. open up their inner mind
4. According to the author , the patients improved mainly because _______.
A. they were taken good care of.
B. they knew they were truly listened to.
C. they had partners to talk to.
D. they knew the roots of problems.
