一、阅读选择
Emily Harrington climbed her way into
the history books last week, becoming the
first woman to free-climb the Golden
Gate route
（路线）
of Yosemite
National Park's EI
Capitan in less than
one day. EI Capitan is considered one of the most
difficult rock climbing
places in the
world. She topped the 3,000-foot mountain last
Wednesday in 21 hours, 13
minutes and
51seconds.
Free-climbing-the method
Harrington used-requires climbers to use their
hands and feet
to push themselves up,
but they wear ropes and other protective equipment
in case of a fall.
However, it is not
without its dangers: One of Harrington's climbs on
El Capitan last year
landed her in the
hospital.
This year it was not all
plain sailing. As Emily began her climb a little
past 1:30 a. m,
she kept telling
herself:
the climb, as her hands,
covered with sweat, reached for her next move, she
fell over and
knocked her head against
a rock. The injury wasn't serious, but Harrington,
bloody, tired and
defeated, considered
stopping. After taking a rest and putting a
bandage
（绷带）
on her
forehead, Harrington got back to work.
She reached the top at 10:30 p.m., welcomed by
close
friends and her husband-to-be,
Adrian Ballinger.

Is
digital technology weakening our ability to
communicate? Fingers flying, we can
blog, email and enter chat rooms. As we
type our millions of words, something is being
lost.
Our virtual skills increase, our
ability to communicate using speech is on the
decline (
下降
).
We
are addicted to the power of the typed word and it
is getting in the way of our ability
to
look people in the eye and talk. A good example is
how much digital technology has
affected public speaking.
At
conferences and meetings, I hate it when speakers
show their long and boring slides
(
幻灯片
). I don’t
mind maps and pictures, but all those words of
text drive me crazy. “And
now
f
or my introduction...” and up comes
the word “introduction”. “There are four main
points” and we see “four points”. Lots
of facts and data follow. These should all have
been
given out as an information sheet,
or put on a website. Instead, while you are trying
to go
through the material, the
lecturer is reading all about it, word
for word. There’s a confusion of
focus,
and it gives me a headache. As the slides flash
by, the most important relationship in
public speaking is being destroyed
—
the connection between the
speaker and the audience.
3
Good speakers watch their audiences.
They don’t allow them to be distracted. If heads
are nodding or feet moving around, it
is time to attract their attention. Change the
tone (
音调
)
of your
voice, slow down, and then
suddenly
speed up. “And most importantly!” you shout,
and then say the next thing very
softly, so people prick up
(
竖起
) their ears in case they
miss
important information.
We would be better off if we stop
clicking away crazily on a mouse, as the ability
to
communicate face to face and hold
the attention of others is a necessary human
skill. Be
careful of a technology in
which the speed of our fingers is more important
than the quality of
our voices.
6
．
What does the
underlined word “something” in Paragraph
1
probably refer to?
A
．
Time for online
chatting.
B
．
Ability to use
technology.
C
．
Face-to-face
communication.
D
．
Ability to
survive in real life.
7
．
What does
Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A
．
Tips on being
an excellent public speaker.
B
．
Unusual
mistakes that public speakers make.
C
．
The author’s
expec
tations of slides for meetings.
D
．
Digital
technology’s ill effects on public
speaking.
8
．
Which is the
author’s advice for attracting the audience's
attention?
A
．
Changing the
talking speed.
B
．
Pricking up
ears while talking.
C
．
Nodding heads
while listening.
D
．
Walking around
in the room.
9

What does the
author try to express in the last paragraph?
A
．
We need to
improve our typing skills.
B
．
We should stop
using digital technology.
C
．
We'd better
think twice before using technology.
D
．
We should
balance our virtual life and the reality.

Despite all the other fun activities
around us today, there's no doubt that many
people still love reading. Books can
teach us plenty about the world, of course, as
well as
improving our vocabularies and
writing skills. But can novels also make us better
people?
According to the Canadian
psychologist Keith Oatley, people who read novels
may
improve their social skills. In his
research, Oatley has found that each time we open
a novel,
we read about the characters
and imagine ourselves into their position. When
they are in
danger, our hearts start to
race. Characters hook us into stories. Without
necessarily even
noticing, we imagine
what it's like to be them and compare their
reactions with how we
respond.
So people who read novels appear to be
more skilled at working out what other people
are thinking and feeling, which is an
important social skill. But does that necessarily
make
them better people? To test this,
Oatley's team carried out an experiment, where
researchers
up. Before the
pen-drop took place, participants were given a
list of questions measuring
empathy
. Then they read a
short story and answered a series of questions to
see if they
（
共鸣）
had better
performance on empathy. It worked: the people who
expressed the most empathy
for the
characters were more likely to help pick up the
pens.
So the research shows that
reading novels does make people behave better. It
sounds as
though it's time to change
people's fixed image of the shy bookworm whose
nose is always in
a book because they
find it difficult to get on with real people. In
fact, these bookworms
might be better
than everyone else at understanding human beings.
11
．
How do people
improve social skills by reading novels according
to Oatley?
A
．
By
choosing the right novels.
B
．
By
understanding the characters.

danger, our
hearts start to race.
Characters hook us into stories. Without
necessarily even

（奥特利发现，
每次我们打开一本小说，我们都会读到小说中的人物，然后把
自己想象成他们的处境。当
他们处于危险之中时，我们的心跳就会加速。人物让我们沉
浸在故事里。甚至不经过必须
的注意，我们想象他们的感受，然后比较他们的反应和我
们的反应。

entirely up to
us. It depends on many things. But there are still
some tips you can follow to
make
yourself more likable.
Be a better
listener
People like being listened to.
To be a good listener, you have to actually listen
to what
the other person is saying,
instead of running through the great story you
want to tell the
moment they finish
speaking.16
．
Head nods, ohs
and ahs, for example, can go a long way.
17
．
When someone tells you he has to work
all weekend, it's a bad idea to say
why
you make so much money!
you about
something they achieved, offer sincere
congratulations.
Follow up
This is an opportunity most people
miss. If someone tells you they have an exam
coming
up, ask them how it
went.18
．
When people gave you
information and you follow up the next
time you see them or by text, they know
that you listened and that you cared enough to ask
about it.19
．
Find common ground
20
．
So when
meeting people you don't know well or are meeting
for the first time, try to
find common
interests, hobbies, opinions, taste in movies,
books, shows, music or fashion,
vacation destinations, or anything else
that might create connections between you.
A
．
Be supportive
B
．
Be
communicative
C
．
They will be
glad to share it with you.
D
．
People connect
to others who are similar to them.
this can earn you significant likability points.

much it costs.
