Knowing how to communicate well needs very personal attention between you and another human being. Is there a better way to learn how to communicate effectively? Yes, there is. Please follow the 3 basic steps below.
* Relax and breathe
Whether it's a business meeting or a first date, the first thing you must do in order to communicate is to relax.
When you relax, you are in control. You control your reactions and your reactions do not control you. Breathing is central to relaxation. Take a few deep breaths and your body will begin to be more at ease. This will help you apply what you already know about how tocommunicate well.
* Think and you will be prepared
Have you ever heard the old saying "think before you speak"? Well, it is true. By thinking ahead about how the conversation might flow, you will be better prepared, more at ease and more confident.
* Follow the flow of the conversation
If you are uncomfortable, being silent will only make it worse and make the other person uncomfortable as well. So when all else fails, follow through with small talk until a common topic appears.
A good way to keep a conversation going is to ask the other person questions. People love to talk about themselves and if you do this, they will leave the conversation, thinking very highly of you. Learning good communication skills is not something out of reach. If you make an effort, you will succeed.
41．Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A．How to Begin Your Conversation Effectively.
B．Preparation and Conversation.
C．Personal Attention and Communication.
D．How to Communicate with People You Meet.
42．If you want to talk with others successfully, the most important thing you should do is
________.
A．to make a good preparation for the conversation.
B．to take as many deep breaths as possible.
C．to keep calm and relax yourself fully.
D．to follow the flow of the conversation.
43．Why does relaxation play an important part in your good communication? A．Because it can help you keep excited and react quickly in the communication. B．Because it will help you organize good sentences for your communication. C．Because it can help you put your communication skills that you know into use. D．Because no one likes to communicate with a nervous person.
44．If you feel uncomfortable, you'd better ________.
A．talk small things until you find a topic you both like.
B．speak freely so as to run across the topic you like.
C．keep silent in order to give the chance of speaking to others.
D．ask questions which you are interested in.
45．What's the meaning of the underlined sentence?
A．You will be good at communication if you try.
B．Good communication skills can be learned if you try.
C．Not all people can learn good communication skills.
D．Communication skills can be improved easily.
Nowadays, it is more common for people to express their thoughts in an e-mail or text. In fact, more and more students use technology for written communication in their lives. Even so, research shows that teaching handwriting skills has its benefits. However, are the benefits worth spending valuable classroom time in teaching handwriting skills when students could be learning more about computer keyboarding?
States across the country have good reasons to require students to learn computer keyboarding skills. For one, students are learning technology that will help them communicate faster with more people and in many different forms, such as e-mails, websites, blogs, and so on. Also the better a student’s comput er keyboarding skills, the greater the chance that a student has to become a better writer. Computer tools such as the grammar and spell check make correcting quick and easy, although not 100% accurate (准确的). With these and many other tools, students gain important computer skills. Furthermore, students no longer have to worry about their writing being graded poorly by teachers. All in all, computer keyboarding skills are a step in the right direction.
Still, the advantages of computer keyboarding skills may not be enough to leave handwriting instruction in the dust. Marlena Hamilton, professor of neurology at University
of Pennsylvania, did an experiment with her co-workers to study what happens in students’ brains when writing. They found that many of the areas of the brain light up. These are the same areas that are used to learn to read. They then wondered if the same would be true when students looked at letters on a keyboard. “What we found, “she states, “is that brains are much less involved when we just look at letters. When we actually use our hands to make things, the brain works much harder.”
Schools across the nation are looking at the evidence and deciding what to do. William McIntyre, a reading coach at Sunshine Elementary School in Albany, New Y ork, says, “What we have learned from the research is that learning handwriting benefits students educationally. What we also know is that students need to be taught keyboarding skills. Now, it is up to each school to make a decision.
46．From the first paragraph, we can know that _______.
A．students don’t want to learn handwriting skills any more
B．students don’t like communicating with friends in person
C．students’ communicating by technology is more and more common
D．students spend more time in playing computer games than before
47．What does the second paragraph mainly want to show?
A．The roles of computer tools.
B．The advantages of computer keyboarding skills.
C．The importance of communication skills.
D．The necessity of developing writing skills.
48．What’s the author’s attitude to students’ learning keyboarding skills?
A．Worried. B．Doubtful. C．Uncaring. D．Supportive. 49．What can the result of Hamilton’s experiment show?
A．Keyboarding skills are very useful.
B．Handwriting is helpful for students to learn.
C．Keyboarding makes our brain more active.
D．Handwriting is more difficult than keyboarding.
