Learners of English, especially self-taught learners may have trouble in understanding speeches by native speakers. The following ways might help improve their listening ability.
First of all, do things step by step. It is not good to listen to something beyond your level. Better choose a suitable course and start with the first book. Go on to the second book only after you are sure you understand the first one.
Secondly, stick to one course of study. Don’t change books often. Never let your attention be attracted by another course just because it seems to be more “fashionable”.
Thirdly, listen to the English news program over the radio from time to time. Better go through the news stories in the Chinese-language newspaper first. That will make it easy for you to understand the English news on the radio.
Fourthly, if you have time, listen to some interesting stories in “Special English from the V.O.A. or other listening materials of the same level as that of your textbook”.
1. This is a piece of advice to learners of English on how to ________.
A. improve their listening ability
B. read fast
C. write better English and read faster
D. speak correctly
2. If you want to understand the English news program on the radio, you should ________.
A. read the Chinese-language newspaper step by step
B. read again and again the Chinese-language newspaper
C. go through the Chinese-language newspaper first

3. The author advised that once you have taken up a course, you ________.
A. should stick to it
B. should begin with the last book

C. should take up other courses if they are more fashionable
D. shouldn’t do anything else
4. In this passage, V.O.A. stands for ________.
A. a book B. a magazine C. a text-book D. a radio station
B
Monday: Here I am, in the middle of nowhere. This camping trip idea is not getting off to a very good start. It’s raining and the tent leaks. The hiking seemed to take forever, and I still can’t understand how it could all have been up hill! How did I ever let my brother talk me into this? When we get home—if we ever get home—he’s going to have to do something great to get back on my good side. Maybe he should sponsor a shopping spree（狂购）at the mall!
Tuesday: Things are looking up. The sun came out today, so we were able to leave the tents and dry out. We’re camped at the edge of a small lake that I couldn’t see before because of the rain and fog. The mountains are all around us, and the forest is absolutely beautiful. We spent most of the day dragging out everything out of our backpacks or tents and putting it where the sun could dry it out. Later in the afternoon we tried to catch the fish for dinner, but the fish were smarter than we were. At night we built a fire and sang songs happily.
Wednesday: We hiked to the far side of the lake and climbed to the top of a small peak. From there we could see how high the other mountains were and how far the forest spread around us. On the way up we passed through a snowfield!
Thursday: I caught my first fish! We followed the stream that fed the lake. After about two miles, we came to a section that Carol said looked “fishy”. She had a pack rod(竿), which can be carried in a backpack. I asked to cast it, and I caught a fish on my first try. Carol caught a few more. But they were just too pretty to eat for lunch so we put them back in the stream.
Friday: I can’t believe we are going home already. It will be nice to get a hot shower, sleep in a real bed, and eat junk food, but the trip has been wonderful. We’re already talking about another camping adventure next year where we canoe down a river. It’s hard to believe, but I think this city girl has a little country blood in her veins.
5. The writer went on this camping trip because________.
A. she enjoyed camping B. she wanted to go fishing
C. she was influenced by her brother D. she was tired of staying at home
6. The whole morning of Tuesday, the writer ________.
A. hiked along the lake B. dried out her belongings
C. climbed the mountain D. caught the fish for dinner
7. It can be inferred that Carol had a pack rod with her because ________.
A. she could not afford to buy a regular fishing pole
B. she needed it to get their main source of food
C. she thought the writer of the journal might need it
D. she expected to go fishing while they were hiking
8. It is likely that the writer will ________.
A. go on another camping trip
B. invite Carol to go fishing together
C. make her brother buy her something
D. convince her brother to go camping

C
Orland remembers like it was yesterday working in an expensive French restaurant in Denver. The ice cream he was serving fell onto the white dress of a rich and important woman.
Thirty years have passed, but Orland can’t get the memory out of his mind, nor the woman’s kind reaction. She was shocked, regained calmness and, in a kind voice, told the young Orland. “It’s OK. It wasn’t your fault.” When she left the restaurant, she also left the future Fortune 500 CEO with a life lesson: You can tell a lot about a person by the way he or she treats the waiter.
Orland isn’t the only CEO to have made this discovery. Rather, it seems to be one of those few laws of the land that every CEO learns on the way up. It’s hard to get a dozen CEOs to agree about anything, but most agree with the Waiter Rule. They say how others treat the CEO says nothing. But how others treat the waiter is like a window into the soul.
Watch out for anyone who pulls out the power card to say something like, “I could buy this place and fire you,” or “I know the owner and I could have you fired.” Those who say such things have shown more about their character than about their wealth and power.
The CEO who came up with it, or at least first wrote it down, is Raytheon CEO Bill Swanson. He wrote a best-selling book called Swanson’s Unwritten Rules of Management.
“A person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter or to others, is not a nice person,” Swanson says. “I will never offer a job to the person who is sweet to the boss but turns rude to someone cleaning the tables.”
9. What happened after Orland dropped the ice cream onto the woman’s dress?
A. He was fired. B. He was blamed.
C. The woman comforted him. D. The woman left the restaurant at once.
10. Orland learned one of his life lessons from ________.
A. his experience as a waiter B. the advice given by the CEOs
C. an article in Fortune D. an interesting best-selling book
11. According to the text, most CEOs have the same opinion about ________.
A. Fortune 500 companies B. the Management Rules
C. Swanson’s book D. the Waiter Rule
12. From the text we can learn that ________.
A. one should be nicer to important people
B. CEOs often show their power before others
C. one should respect others no matter who they are
D. CEOs often have meals in expensive restaurants

For several years, Americans have enjoyed teleshopping — watching TV and buying things by phone. 13 In a number of European countries, people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes, jewelry, food, toys, and many other things.
14 For example, the biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in European countries, and in one year it made $100 million. In France there are two teleshopping channels, and the French spend about $20 million a year buying things through those channels.
In Germany, until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for 1 hour every day. Then the government allowed more teleshopping. Other channels can open for tele-business, including the largest American teleshopping company and a 24-hour teleshopping company. 15
Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes. With all the problems of traffic in the cities, this is an important reason, but at the same time, other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping. 16 Many Europeans usually worry about the quality of the things for sale on TV. Good quality is important to them, and they believe they cannot be sure about the quality of the things on TV.
17 They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell. They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers cannot touch or see in person.
A. The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will have to be different from the American companies.
B. Teleshopping is popular among people.
C. German teleshopping business is controlled by American.
D. Now teleshopping is starting in Europe.
E. They call teleshopping “Junk (垃圾) on the air”.
F. Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden.
G. German businesses are hoping this new teleshopping will help them sell more things.
