Do you notice that students spend the same amount(数量) of time in class, but some get better grades than others? In some ways,it’s because they are different listeners. When having classes, some of them listen carefully. We call them effective listeners. Some just daydream or talk to others. They are ineffective listeners.

How are some listeners effective? First of all, they don’t care about some poor situations, like an uncomfortable seat or a personal problem. T hey say “No” to anything that will stop them from understanding and remembering. After leaving a class or meeting, they remember what the speakers said, not the room conditions or the speaker’s accent (口音).

Effective listeners always pay attention to(关注) the message itself. They try not to be influenced (被影响) by their own feelings or ideas. They do not decide if the thing is boring, too easy, or too difficult before listening. They like getting the challenge (挑战) of new ideas. To help remember difficult ideas, they write down important words and phrases.

However, ineffective listeners often daydr eam. They don’t like to hear what they don’t agree with or easily understand. They are often so busy taking notes that they miss the speaker’s main idea. These listeners leave a speech or a class with a notebook full of words, but the notebook means nothing.

Do you wish to do well in your study? Start to be an effective listener. It may help.

( )51. What does the underlined word “effective” mean?

A. 杰出的

B. 有效率的

C. 机智的

D. 积极的

( )52. To be an effective listener, you should __________

A. pay attention to the message itself

B. try to know what happened around you

C. look up something about the speaker

D. not write down anything

( )53. Which of the following shows the listeners is effective?

A. Linda was busy writing down each word the speaker said in the meeting.

B. Betty continued paying attention to the teacher while others were making noise

C. Eric didn’t listen to the teacher when he found the math problem easy for him.

D. Suzy stopped listening when she found the speaker was wrong.

( )54. Where can you find this article?
