Know the enemy and know yourself, and you can fight a hundred battles with no danger of defeat. 知己知彼，百战不殆。 主题语境——人与自我——优秀品行。与别人进行沟通是我们的人生必要技能之一，学会有效地沟通对我们的日常生活有巨大的帮助。 Effective communication is one of the most important life skills we can learn—yet one we don't usually put a lot of effort into.Whether you want to have better conversations in your social life or get your ideas across① better at work, here are some essential tips for learning to communicate more effectively. 1．Watch Your Body Language Our non­verbal and non­written cues② often reveal③ more than we think they do.Whether it's how you make eye contact or how you hold yourself④ during a video interview, don't forget that you're constantly communicating even when you're not saying a word. 2．Tailor⑤ Your Message to Your Audience The best communicators adjust how they talk based on whom they're speaking to.Always try to keep the other person's perspective⑥ in mind when you try to get your message across. 3．Up Your Empathy⑦ Communication is a two­way street.If you practice taking the opposing viewpoint, you can reduce the difficulty and anxiety that sometimes arises when trying to truly communicate with others.Developing empathy helps you better understand even the unspoken parts of your communication with others, and helps you respond more effectively. 4．Listen, Really Listen Finally, going hand­in­hand with⑧ most of the points above, the best thing you can do to improve your communication skills is to learn to really listen—to pay attention and let the other person talk without interrupting⑨. ①get one's ideas across使……的思想为别人所了解，阐明……的思想 ②cue n．暗示，提示；信号 ③reveal v．揭示，透露 ④hold oneself 抑制住自己，稳住自己 ⑤tailor vt.按需定制，量身打造 ⑥perspective n．态度；观点；思考方法 ⑦empathy n．同情，共鸣，同感 ⑧go hand­in­hand with 和……保持同步，和……紧密相连 ⑨interrupt vi.& vt.打断，使暂停，使中断 Section Ⅰ　Welcome to the unit & Reading [对应学生用书P35] Step 1　Fast Reading Check yourself to what degree you have remembered the text by filling in the blanks in the following passage.
