We 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 andmeans another.It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole.But is be Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn′t important.It′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.The author most probably is a__________.
  • A.teacher
  • B.psychologist
  • C.philosopher
  • D.doctor

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 University 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 misunderstanding:(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.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
