　　Almost every family buys at least one copy of a newspaper every day. Some people subscribe to as many as two or three different newspapers. But why do people read newspapers?

　　Five hundred years ago, news of important happenings-battles lost and won, kings or rulers overthrown or killed-took months and even years to travel from one country to another.

　　第40题单选 根据以下材料，回答下面试题

　　Have you ever argued with your loved ones over simple misunderstandings(误解) ? Little wonder.We often believe we're more skillful in getting our point across than we actually are, according to Boza Keysar, a professor at the Uruversity of Chicago. In his recent study, speakers tried to express their meanings using unclear sentences. Speakers who thought listeners understood were wrong nearly half the time. Here's some good advice to reduce nusunderstanding:

　　(1) Don't trust what you see from the listener. Listeners often nod, look at.you or say "uhhuh" to be polite or move the conversation along. But it's easy to consider these as signs of understanding.

　　(2)Train the editor(编辑) in your head. If you say, " Beth discusses her problems with her husband," it's not clear whether she' s talking to her husband or about him. Try instead, "Beth talks to her husband about her problems. " or "Beth talks to others about the problems with her husband. "

　　( 3 ) Ask listeners to repeat your message. Introduce your request by saying "I want to be sure I said that right. " Questions like "How does that sound?" or "Does that make sense?" may also work.

　　(4)Listen well. When on the receiving end, ask questions to be sure you' re on the same

　　page. After all, it isn't just the speaker's job to make his speech understood.

　　第40题单选 Why does the writer give us the advice?

　　A. We' re not skillful enough to make clear sentences.

　　B. Misunderstanding is damaging our normal lives.

　　C. Misunderstanding occurs now and then.

　　D. It' s impolite to say NO to others.

　　第41题单选 The writer suggests that when talking to others, the speaker should

　　A. know that listeners will show him that they understand his words

　　B. express himself clearly even when he sees signs of understanding

　　C. notice listener' s signs of understanding

　　D. look directly into his listener' s eyes

　　第42题单选 By Train the editor in your head, the speakers are advised .

　　A. to get themselves trained by a good editor

　　B. to discuss problems with their husbands or wives

　　C. to express themselves in long but simple sentences

　　D. to make sure each sentence has only one meaning

　　第43题单选 1n the last paragraph, the words "you're on the same page" mean that .

　　A. you' re following the speaker closely

　　B. you're reading the same page as the speaker does

　　C. you should know which page the speaker refers to

　　D. your story is written on the same page as the speaker's

The cupboards in kitchen were full of things which she did not need. Her husband tried to advise her against buying things but failed. She dreamed of the day when the manager of the supermarket would approach her and say: "Madam, this is Your Lucky Day. Everything in your basket is free. "

　　第48题单选 根据以下材料，回答下面试题

　　can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. "Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?" "When I got that great job,did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?" When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it's too late.

　　Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don' t really listen closely we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, "You' re a lucky dog. " That' s being friendly. But "lucky dog" ? There' s a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn't see it himself. But bringing in the "dog" puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn't think you deserve your luck.

　　"Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for" is another noise that says one thing and means another.lt could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn't imporcant.lt's telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven't got a date for Saturday night.

　　How can you tell the real meaning behind someone's words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.
