The vicious circle is thus transformed into a virtuous circle.Few will argue that educating women has great social benefits. But it has great economic advantages as well. Most obviously, there is the direct

10、enerEveryone loves a good listener. But there are more reasons to develop the skill of listening than to win hearts or popularity contests.Listening heals hurts and builds bridges. It gives us the ability to understand and empathize, to view the world from our own point. It can bring us wisdom over
11、and above mere intelligence. But most importantly, it allows us to give the people around us the gifts they crave (渴望) mosta sense of worth.As it turns out, theres more to good listening than just keeping quiet and allowing someone to speak. Effective listening is actually a combination of two key c
12、ommunication skills: listening and verifying (确认).Even when weve managed to hear a persons entire message, we often interpret it wrongaccording to our own understanding, experience, or prejudice.As an effective listener, your goal is to hear and absorb what another has to sayin exactly the way they
13、mean it to be understood. Only then can you respond properly.This is much easier read than done, so here are a few helpful tips:1.Give the speaker your full attention.Stop talking and remove all distractions. Turn off the TV, your phone, or computer. Watch your body language. The way you look at the
14、 speaker, or the way you stand or sit, makes a huge difference. The right listening body language communicates that we are listening openly and attentively, and puts the other person at ease.2.Be patient.Not everyone is a gifted speaker. Some people take longer to find the right word to make a point
15、. Others are too worried to get their message across properly. If necessary, ask the speaker to explain further. It will help him / her speak more exactly and it will help you hear and understand better.3.Keep your emotions in check.If what someone is saying creates an emotional response in you, mak
16、e an extra effort to listen carefully. When were angry, frightened or upset, we often miss key parts of what is being said.4.Hold your fire.Dont jump to conclusions immediately.

A natural disaster strikes in a remote part of the world, causing destruction and suffering. Villages are flattened and people
34、 are forced into camps. It is now happening in China, after the earthquake of magnitude里氏8 that was centered on Wenchuan but shook the entire country.Actually, in the past centuries, there were hundreds of thousands of earthquakes in different parts of the world. In Sept. 1923, Tokyo and Yokohama we
35、re both destroyed by an earthquake and the fires that followed it. They had to be completely rebuilt. One of the most serious earthquakes was in Chinas Shanxi Province in 1556. It claimed almost one million people.We measure an earthquakes strength on the Richter scale. The Richter scale was introdu
36、ced in 1935 in Southern California in the USA. It measures earthquakes on a scale of one to ten. Any earthquake measuring five or more is usually serious.The earths crust (地壳) is made up of layers of rock called plates.

42、have not been given a fair treatment. Anger is a natural reaction which comes out when we feel that we have not been given a fair treatment. The positive side of this negative emotion is that it has helped us to evolve as humans and cope in a better manner with our surroundings. However, it tends to
43、 become a problem when we fail to control it. Many a time it happens that your anger has hurt others or has spoiled one of your relationships for which you regret later. It has some bad effects on the health, too. We should control anger so that it does not cause harm to us or to those around us who
44、m we love. One of the best ways to control anger is to get help from others. If you feel that you are unable to manage your anger, it can make you more upset. So tell someone that is close to you, a friend or a family member, about your problem. When you discuss a matter with others, there is a bett

46、the things around you. Anger tends to make us have a lot of negative thoughts. Therefore, we have to change the negative thoughts into positive ones. For this you have to first refuse all the negative thoughts that are in your mind one by one. This can be done with a lot of practice. Once you are su
47、ccessful in that, you have to maintain your focus only on the positive things of life. Meditation (冥想) is an excellent anger management technique. In addition, what we do is disconnect ourselves from the outer world and focus all our attention into the inner world. This helps us develop a sense of controlling our thoughts that tend to cause anger.DefinitionAnger is a natural reaction whi
