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 and means 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 he? 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.
This passage is mainly about ______.
A.how to interpret what people say
B.what to do when. you listen to others talking
C.how to avoid mistakes when you communicate with people
D.why we go wrong with people sometimes
(56)
A.clothes

听力原文:M: Jean, were you able to get that report all typed up?
W: Not yet, Mr. Black. Mrs. Farnsworth asked me to type some letters for her. I'll be finished pretty quick and then I'll start on that.
M: Don't forget I need it first thing in the morning. I have to take it along to Chicago to the regional meeting.
W: Don't worry, I'll get it done. My husband's on a business trip too. He's in Detroit today, and tomorrow he'll be in Boston. So I'm planning to stay late. After it's typed up I'll leave it on your desk. I should be finished by 8:00 pm.
M: I'm sorry to keep you so late.
W: It's all right, Mr. Black. I don't mind at all. Besides, I can use a little extra money. My husband's birthday is next month. I want to buy him a new watch.
M: What kind are you going to get him, a Bulova?
W: No. I thought I'd get a Rolex, or an Elgin. I don't really know much about watches.
M: I've got one of those Seiko digitals. I really like it.
W: Do you think my husband would like one like that?
M: I'm sure he would. The only problem is that it's a little bit heavy.
W: If it's that good, I think I'll go ahead and get him one.
M: Well, at least he won't get a tie. That's what I usually get.
W: Remember, it's the thought that counts.
