A recent study published in the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science offers
new findings about why people take different types of photos.The research reveals that
individuals use first-person photography-capturing a scene from their own
perspective-primarily to document a physical experience.In contrast,they opt for third-person
photos,such as selfies where they are visible in the frame,to convey the deeper meaning of an
event and to immerse viewers in the scene.This distinction is crucial for understanding the

How many times have you found yourself in conversations with friends,family members or
loved ones and discovered that you had completely tuned out to what they were saying?How
much of our attention are we truly giving to the people who are supposed to be important to us?
According to research cited by Wright State University,while most people believe they are
good listeners who don't need to improve their listening skills,the average person only listens at
about 25 percent efficiency.
So why aren't we better listeners?As a society,we may be growing more narcissistic.A 2007
study found a rise in self-centeredness and narcissism among college students.If we,as a culture,
are becoming more self-centered,how can we,as individuals,work to become more caring and
縈
®
compassionate communicators?
We can begin by changing our attitudes toward conversations.As Stephen R.Covey wrote in
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People:Powerful Lessons in Personal Change,"Most people do
not listen with the intent to understand but to reply."A dialogue is an opportunity to learn,to sce
things from a new perspective,to open your eyes to new information and possibilities.Yet,too
often we engage in conversation as if it's a debate.We speak to hear our own voices-our own
pre-existing opinions.In doing so,we tend to space out when spoken to.We wait,perhaps even
第5页
patiently or politely,for the other person to finish,so we can say something we fecl is of valuc.
Playwright Wilson Mizner said,"A good listener is not only popular everywhere,but after a
while,he knows something."Listening doesn't just expand our knowledge on an intellectual level;
it enables us to have a more personal,in-depth understanding of our closest friends.Relationships
are truly enriched by an cqual back-and-forth exchange in communication.When these dynamics
become more one-sided,we tend to lose interest and create distance in our friendships,with less
trust established,less honesty exchanged.
Thankfully,we can all improve our listening skills.Maybe we aren't as good a listener as
we believe.Do we tend to focus too much on ourselves-both in positive and negative ways?Do
we get distracted by an inner coach,rather than living in the moment and really engaging in
what's being said?As we learn to quiet that inner voice in our minds,we can start to open
ourselves up to others,becoming better listeners,thinkers,lovers and friends.
66.What is the author's purpose in showing the social phenomena in Paragraph 1?
A.To show most people are confident about their listening skills.
B.To express his concerns about people's lack of attention when talking.
C.To introduce the fact that people have low efficiency of listening in life.
9
D.To provide some information about how people behave in conversation.
k 67.Why does the author cite (the research data from the year 2007?
e
A.To prove college students have become more self-cenfered and narcissistic over time.
B.To show the belief in people's listening skills is outdated and needs to be updated.
C.To provide an example of how society's narcissism affects personal relationships.
D.To support the argument that society is becoming more self-centered and narcissistic.
68.Based on the views of Stephen R.Covey and Wilson Mizner,which of the following
statements is true?
A.People should listen to learn and see things from a new perspective.
B.A good listener is popular but does not necessarily know everything
C.Most people listen with the intention to understand,not to reply.
D.We should speak to hear our own voices and pre-existing opinions.

B.Feel confused.
C.Be absent-minded.
D.Remain anxious.

V阅读表达(共5个小题,每题2分,共10分)
I used to be a selfish girl and I only thought of myself.I did not care about helping others,but
only about my look,clothes,money and grades.One day,I was suddenly influenced by my
neighbor,who is now in college,and ended up wanting to volunteer for others.He had so much
fun with volunteering and told me that he felt extremely good after helping others.I hoped to get
the same results,for I felt worthless everywhere then.I viewed almost everything in a negative
way,and I figured I had to experience something that would make me appreciate things that I
had.
I volunteered at the nursing home for a year where my neighbor volunteered.I brought snacks,
coffee and games for the elderly patients,talked to them while sharing snacks,and played games
like chess and checkers with them.Because they were Koreans,they often had trouble
communicating with the helpers who were hired to help them.I sometimes translated things for
them and offered to be their translator whenever they needed help.
By volunteering at the nursing home,I changed a lot.I realized how lucky I am to speak both
Korean and English and that I should help other people learn Korean as well.I had learned many
life lessons through volunteering.By helping others,I felt needed in society.Not only did it boost
my confidence,but it also allowed others to benefit from it.Volunteering is a great opportunity to
improve oneself,others,and the whole society.So if you ever have the chance,volunteer!It's
something you won't regret!
