The topic of my speech today is “Being a Good Listener”_Thank you for your listening!范文Good_afternoon,_everyone!The_topic_of_my_speech_today_is_“Being_a_Good_Listener” Good listening can always show respect, promote understanding, and improve interpersonal relationship. Many people suggest that parents should listen more to their children, so they will understand them better, and find it easy to narrow the generation gap; teachers should listen more to their students, then they can meet their needs better, and place themselves in a good relationship with their students; students should listen more to their classmates, thus they will help and learn from each other, and a friendship is likely to be formed. What I want to stress is that each of us should listen more to others. Show your respect and never stop others till they finish their talk; show you are interested by a supportive silence or a knowing smile; be openminded to different opinions even though you dont like them. In a word, good listening can really enable us to get closer to each other.

In order to reduce air pollution and oil shortages, carmakers have announced their plans to develop hybrid vehicles(混合燃料汽车) for the Chinese market. The first China made Toyotas hybrid car Prius hit the road last week. Lets have a look at the new car. Any vehicle is a hybrid when it combines two or more sources of power. Hybrid cars use an electric motor withrechargeable batteries(充电电池) and a gasoline engine. A hybrid car has a smaller than traditional gasoline engine and an electric motor. The gasoline engine provides 99 per cent of the power when the car is cruising(匀速行车)The electric motor provides extra power for running up hills or when extra acceleration(加速度) is needed. Step into a Prius, and turn on the power. The first thing you notice is that it is quieter than a traditional car. At this point, the cars gasoline engine is dormant. The electric motor will provide power until the car reaches about 24km/h. If you stay at low speed, you are effectively driving an electric car, with no gasoline being used, and no exhaust gas given off. An onboard computer decides when to use the gasoline engine, when to go electric, and when to use a combination of the two. If you go over 24km/h, when you step on the gas pedal(油门), you are telling the computer how fast you want to go. The electric motor recharges automatically(自动地)when braking. And when driving at certain speeds, the gasoline engine not only powers the car but also recharges the batteries. When you use the brake, the electric motor acts like a generator(发电机) to produce electricity to recharge the batteries. Batteries will last for around 200 000 miles.1.When the hybrid car is cruising, _.A. only the gasoline engine provides powerB. only the electric motor provides powerC. there is no need to provide powerD. both the gasoline engine and the electric motor provide power答案及解析：1. D。考查细节理解。从第四段可知。2. The underlined word “dormant” means _.A. inactive B. out of orderC. working D. nonstop答案及解析：2. A。考查词义猜测。从该词的前后两句话可知。3. Which of the following statements is false according to the text?A. The hybrid car is friendly environmental. B. The hybrid car is able to get itself charged.C. The hybrid car has been made in mass. D. The hybrid car can decide which power to use.答案及解析：3. C。考查正误判断。只说这种新型车上路了，但大量生产并没提到。4. The best title of the text is_.A. TwoPowered Cars B. Greener Motors for ChinaC. Cars of Saving Oil D. Safer Motors at Present答案及解析：4. B。考查主题理解。文章第一段是全文的中心，后面各段只是起补充说明的作用，因此B项最佳。B The story goes that some time ago, a man punished his 3yearold daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper. Money was tight and he became infuriated(愤怒的) when the child tried to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree. Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said, “This is for you, Daddy.” The man was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, but his anger flared again when he found out the box was empty. He yelled at her, stating, “Dont you know, when you give someone a present, there is supposed to be something inside？” The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and cried, “Oh, Daddy, its not empty at all. I blew kisses into the box. Theyre all for you, Daddy.” The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little girl, and he begged for her forgiveness. Only a short time later, an accident took the life of the child. It is also told that her father kept that gold box by his bed for many years and, whenever he was discouraged, he would take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there. In a very real sense, each one of us, as human beings, has been given a gold container filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children, family members, friends, and God. There is simply no other possession anyone could hold more precious than this. 5. The 3
