13、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 Jerry really feel good about 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, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “You’re a lucky dog.” Is he really on your side? If he says, “You’re a lucky guy.” or“You’re a lucky gal.” 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” bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is he doesn’t think you deserve your luck.
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 square with the tone of voice? His posture(体态)? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. Spend some time thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you, and you may save another mistake.
1．The questions in the first paragraph tell us that the speaker ___________________.
A．feels happy because his friends were nice to him
B．feels he may not have “read” his friends’ true feelings correctly
C．thinks it was a mistake to have broken up with his girl friend Helen
D．is sorry that his friends let him down
2．From the example “You’re a lucky dog”, we can learn that ______________.
A．the speaker of the sentence is friendly
B．it means the same as “You’re a lucky guy.” or “You’re a lucky gal.”
C．sometimes the words used by the speaker give a tip to the feeling behind the words
D．the word “dog” shouldn’t be used to describe a person
3．The passage tries to tell you how to ___________.
A．avoid mistakes about money and friends
B．bring the “dog” bit into our conversation
C．be friendly to other people
D．avoid mistakes in understanding what people tell you
4．What is important in listening to a person?
A．To notice his tone, his posture and the look in his eyes.
B．To listen to how he pronounces his words.
C．To check if his words go well with his manner, his tone of voice and his posture.
D．Don’t believe what he says.
5．If you follow the writer’s advice, you would ____________.
A．be able to get the real meaning of people’s words
B．avoid any mistakes while talking with the people who envy you
C．not lose real friends who say things that do not please you

15、 It seems that a cat and a mouse just can’t get along well. Cats always like to catch mice. When a mouse meets a cat, the mouse will try to run away as fast as possible.
Once upon a time, on a sunny fall afternoon, a young mouse ran around for fun under a tall tree by himself. He kicked up a small piece of rock. The rock went up to the air then dropped down hitting a baby cat. The baby cat was only a few weeks old. She looked at the mouse and said to herself, “He must have lots of power because he could kick up a piece of rock to hit me.” She felt scared.
It made the young mouse very proud. He told his friends, the other mice, “Everybody says that a mouse is afraid of a cat, but today a cat was afraid of me.” So the mouse said that he would not run away any more. His friends explained that it was just an accident. The baby cat was too young to know a mouse. When the baby cat grew up to become a big cat, it would be different. So the other mice advised the young mouse that he must still run away when he saw a cat. But the self-important mouse would not take the advice.
One year later, the baby cat grew up and became a big cat. One day, under the same tall tree, when the big cat showed up, all the mice ran away except the young mouse. He remained staying there without moving.
