B

You are going along in a conversation with a friend and it all seems to be good，and suddenly，you say something and the conversation stops entirely．And you‟re thinking“What happened?”You didn‟t say anything insulting(侮辱的)or mean，you just voiced your opinion．Or so y ou think…

I had lunch the other day with a dear friend．I travel a lot for work，and she used to．I was complaining about the air travel. I said how I would love some day to get into the first class cabin where sutely conditions were far better than the economy(经济舱)．My friend said “You know what I used to do? I'd buy my coach ticket, but then，at the last minute，right before boarding started，I‟d go up to the counter agent and ask if there were any first class seats still available．And often，they‟d say…yes!‟ and I'd only pay an extra $ 200 instead of $ 2000 and get to fly first．”I immediately retorted with“Oh，that would never happen now. They jam the planes so full，there‟s never an available seat to be had．"And with that，the conversation ended— at least that part of it．

It was only later that it hit me I had unwisely said no to my friend‟s experience of life．I had slammed(砰地关，使劲摔)my reality in her face，as if hers didn‟t matter．

There are few things worse that we do to our friends than make them feel like they do n‟t matter．We rarely mean to，yet we do it all the time．It would have been so easy for me to consider her experience in my response：“I never thought of that．I wonder if it would still work，given the general overcrowding．”I would not have thus denied either her experience or mine. And there would have been a continuing basis for conversation，had we wished to do so．Simply put，instead of listening competitively，we need to listen to learn.

24．The underlined “coach ticket” in Paragraph 2 refers to a ticket for _____________．A．the platform B．the long journey bus

C．the first class in the plane D．the economy class in the plane

25．My friend ended the conversation because she thought _____________．

A．I lost face B．I misunderstood her

C．I overlooked her life D．I voiced my opinion
