| Love, success, happiness, family and freedom-how important are these values to you? Here is one interview which explores the fundamental questions in life. Question: Could you introduce yourself first? Answer: My name is Misbah, 27 years old. I was born in a war-torn area. Right now I"m a web designer. Q: What are your great memories? A: My parents used to take us to hunt birds, climb trees, and play in the fields. For me it was like a holiday because we were going to have fun all day long. Those are my great memories. Q: Does your childhood mean a lot to you? A: Yes. As life was very hard, I used to work to help bring money in for the family. I spent my childhood working, with responsibilities beyond my age. However, it taught me to deal with problems all alone. I learnt to be independent. Q: What changes would you like to make in your life? A: If I could change something in my life, I"d change it so that my childhood could have taken place in another area. I would have loved to live with my family in freedom. Who cares whether we have much money, or whether we have a beautiful house? It doesn"t matter as long as I can live with my family and we are safe. Q: How do you get along with your parents? A: My parents supported me until I came of age. I want to give back what I"ve got. That"s our way. But I am working in another city. My only contact with my parents now is through the phone, but I hate using it. It filters (过滤) out your emotion and leaves your voice only. My deepest feelings should be passed through sight, hearing and touch. | |||

| Open Letter to an Editor I had an interesting conversation with a reporter recently-one who works for you. In fact, he"s one of your best reporters. He wants to leave. Your reporter gave me a copy of his resume (简历) and photocopies of six stories that he wrote for you. The headlines showed you played them proudly. With great enthusiasm, he talked about how he finds issues (问 题), approaches them, and writes about them, which tells me he is one of your best. I"m sure you would hate to lose him. Surprisingly, your reporter is not unhappy. In fact, he told me he really likes his job. He has a great assignment (分工), and said you run a great paper. It would be easy for you to keep him, he said. He knows that the paper values him. He appreciates the responsibility you"ve given him, takes ownership of his profession, and enjoys his freedom. So why is he looking for a way out? He talked to me because he wants his editors to demand so much more of him. He wants to be pushed, challenged, coached to new heights. The reporter believes that good stories spring from good questions, but his editors usually ask how long the story will be, when it will be in, where it can play, and what the budget is. He longs for conversations with an editor who will help him turn his good ideas into great ones. He wants someone to get excited about what he"s doing and to help him turn his story idea upside down and inside out, exploring the best ways to report it. He wants to be more valuable for your paper. That"s what you want for him, too, isn"t it? So your reporter has set me thinking. Our best hope in keeping our best reporters, copy editors, photographers, artists-everyone-is to work harder to make sure they get the help they are demanding to reach their potential. If we can"t do it, they"ll find someone who can. | |||

| [ ] | |||
| A. Finding the news value of his stories. B. Giving him financial support. C. Helping him to find issues. D. Improving his good ideas. | |||
| 3. Who probably wrote the letter? | |||
| [ ] | |||
| A. An editor. B. An artist. C. A reporter. D. A reader. | |||
| 4. The letter aims to remind editors that they should _____. | |||
| [ ] | |||

| Pacing and Pausing Sara tried to befriend her old friend Steve"s new wife, but Betty never seemed to have anything to say. While Sara felt Betty didn"t hold up her end of the conversation, Betty complained to Steve that Sara never gave her a chance to talk. The problem had to do with expectations about pacing and pausing. Conversation is a turn-taking game. When our habits are similar, there"s no problem. But if our habits are different, you may start to talk before I"m finished or fail to take your turn when I"m finished. That"s what was happening with Betty and Sara. It may not be coincidental that Betty, who expected relatively longer pauses between turns, is British, and Sara, who expected relatively shorter pauses, is American. Betty often felt interrupted by Sara. But Betty herself became an interrupter and found herself doing most of the talking when she met a visitor from Finland. And Sara had a hard time cutting in on some speakers from Latin America or Israel. The general phenomenon, then, is that the small conversation techniques, like pacing and pausing, lead people to draw conclusions not about conversational style but about personality and abilities. These habitual differences are often the basis for dangerous stereotyping (思维定式). And these social phenomena can have very personal consequences. For example, a woman from the southwestern part of the US went to live in an eastern city to take up a job in personnel. When the Personnel Department got together for meetings, she kept searching for the right time to break in-and never found it. Although back home she was considered outgoing and confident, in Washington she was viewed as shy and retiring. When she was evaluated at the end of the year, she was told to take a training course because of her inability to speak up. That"s why slight differences in conversational style-tiny little things like microseconds of pause-can have a great effect on one"s life. The result in this case was a judgment of psychological problems-even in the mind of the woman herself, who really wondered what was wrong with her and registered for assertiveness training. | |||
| 1. What did Sara think of Betty when talking with her? | |||
| [ ] | |||
| A. Betty was talkative. B. Betty was an interrupter. C. Betty did not take her turn. D. Betty paid no attention to Sara. | |||
| 2. According to the passage, who are likely to expect the shortest pauses between turns? | |||
| [ ] | |||
| A. Americans. B. Israelis. C. The British. D. The Finns. | |||
| 3. We can learn from the passage that _____. | |||
| [ ] | |||
| A. communication breakdown results from short pauses and fast pacing B. women are unfavorably stereotyped in eastern cities of the US C. one"s inability to speak up is culturally determined sometimes D. one should receive training to build up one"s confidence | |||
| 4. The underlined word"assertiveness" in the last paragraph probably means _____. | |||
| [ ] | |||
| A. being willing to speak one"s mind B. being able to increase one"s power C. being ready to make one"s own judgment D. being quick to express one"s ideas confidently | |||

| Muzak The next time you go into a bank, a store, or a supermarket, stop and listen. What do you hear? 1_____ It"s similar to the music you listen to, but it"s not exactly the same. That"s because this music was especially designed to relax you, or to give you extra energy. Sometimes you don"t even realize the music is playing, but you react to the music anyway. Quiet background music used to be called "elevator (电梯) music" because we often heard it in elevators. But lately we hear it in more and more places, and it has a new name "Muzak". About one-third of the people in America listen to "Muzak" everyday. The music plays for 15 minutes at a time, with short pauses in between. It is always more lively between ten and eleven in the morning, and between three and four in the afternoon, when people are more tired. 2_____ If you listen to Muzak carefully, you will probably recognize the names of many of the songs. Some musicians or songwriters don"t want their songs to be used as Muzak, but others are happy when their songs are chosen. Why? 3_____ Music is often played in public places because it is designed to make people feel less lonely when they are in an airport or a hotel. It has been proven that Muzak doeswhat it is designed to do. Tired office workers suddenly have more energy when they hear the pleasant sound of Muzak in the background. 4_____ Supermarket shoppers buy 38 percent more groceries. 5_____ They say it"s boring to hear the same songs all the time. But other people enjoy hearing Muzak in public places. They say it helps them relax and feel calm. One way or another, Muzak affects everyone. Some farmers even say their cows give more milk when they hear Muzak! | |||
| A. Some people don"t like Muzak. B. The music gives them extra energy. C. Music is playing in the background. D. Factory workers produce 13 percent more. E. Muzak tends to help people understand music better. F. They get as much as $4 million a year if their songs are used. G. Muzak is played in most of the big supermarkets in the world. |
