12、 first step toward fluency. It sounds obvious, but until recently, we didnt know much about how listening works. New research demonstrates that effective listening involves more than simply hearing the words that float past our ears. Rather, its an active process of receiving information and making

13、meaning. This kind of engaged listening is a skill thats as critical for learning a range of subjects at school and work as it is for learning to understand a foreign tongue。(78)Studies of skilled language learners have identified specific listening strategies that lead to superior prehension. Last

14、year, for example, University of Ottawa researcher Larry Vandergrift published his study of 106 undergraduates who were learning French as a second language. Half of the students were taught in a conventional fashion, listening to and practicing texts spoken aloud. The other half, possessing the sam

15、e initial (最初的) skill level and taught by the same teacher, were give detailed instruction on how to listen. It turned out that the second group “significantly outperformed(胜过)the first one on a test of prehension。So what are these listening strategies? Skilled learners go into a listening class wit

16、h a sense of what they want to get of it. (79) They set a goal for their listening, and they generate predictions about what the speaker will say. Before the talking begins they mentally review what they already know about the subject, and form an intention to “listen out for whats important or rele

17、vant. Once they begin listening, these learners maintain their focus; if their attention wanders, they bring it back to the words being spoken. They dont allow themselves to be thrown off by confusing or unfamiliar details. Instead, they take note of what they dont understand and make inferences abo

18、ut what those thing might mean, based on other clues available to them; their previous knowledge of the subject, the context(语境) of the talk, the identity of the speaker, and so on。6. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Effective listening means hearing the words that float past our ears。B. Dev

They died when

24、the ship went down. Men stood on the deck and smoked cigarettes. They died, too. This behavior is puzzling to economists, who like to believe that people tend to act in their own self interest. “There was no pushing, says David Savage, an economist at Queensland University in Australia who has studi

25、ed witness reports from the survivors. It was “very, very orderly behavior。Savage has pared the behavior of the passengers on the Titanic with those on the Lusitania, another ship that also sank at about the same time. But when the Lusitania went down, the passengers panicked(恐慌). There were a lot o

26、f similarities between these two events. These two ships were both luxury ones, they had a similar number of passengers and a similar number of survivors。The biggest difference, Savage concludes, was time. The Lusitania sank in less than 20 minutes. But for the Titanic, it was two-and-a-half hours.

27、“If youve got an event that lasts two-and-a-half hours, social order will take over and everybody will behave in a social manner, Savage says. “If youre going down in under 17 minutes, basically its instinctual。 On the Titanic, social order ruled, and it was women and children first. On the Lusitani

28、a, instinct won out. The survivors were largely the people who could swim and get into the lifeboats。Yes, were self-interested, Savage ways. But were also part of a society. Given time, social norms(规X) can beat our natural self-interest. A hundred years ago, women and children always went first. Me

29、n were stoic(坚忍的)。 On the Titanic, there was enough time for these norms to bee forceful。11.
