Text 1
During the past fifteen years a great deal of attention has been given to "letting it all hang out".
My impression is that this over-zealous devotion to speaking one' s mind has more often led to hurt feelings and ruined relationships than to great joy and fulfillment.
I think we generally agree that holding in real feelings and never expressing less-than-lovely thoughts about each other hardly lead to constructive communication. It' s a great relief to allow ourselves the luxury of admitting our human weaknesses and pursuing more honest relationships with oth-ers. But we need to strike a balance between telling it all and telling nothing.
Recently I received a letter from a mother who had been persuaded by her troubled twenty-five-
year-old son to attend a weekend "truth" marathon with him. Under pressure from the group, her de-fenses collapsed and she heard herself telling her son for the first time that he had been an accident-that she hadn't been planning to have a child. He in turn told her that he couldn't recall a single dayin his childhood that he'd been happy.
"At that time," this woman wrote, "it seemed helpful. We cried and we made up; I thought
telling the truth had been good for us. But the trouble is, it wasn't the whole truth. By the time
Tommy was born, I did want him, and at times he was happy. Ever since that day, we' ve both been disturbed by some terrible feelings we shared. "
I must admit we've come to the conclusion that some things are better left unsaid. Honesty is a
fine policy as long as we know what the truth really is-but most of the time we don't. It's a fine
goal to encourage children to express their real feelings. But we need a new sense of balance. Telling it all is not a cure-all for every problem nor even an end in itself. It's useful and freeing under some circumstances and terribly hurtful and damaging under others.
It' s a good idea, I think, to bite your tongue for ten or fifteen minutes before saying what' s on
your mind. Try to decide whether it's going to open up new and better avenues of communication or leave wounds that may never heal.

听力原文:W: Tang Lin?
M: Yes!
W: Please sit down.
M: Thank you very much.
W: So first of all, what is your field?
M: Well. I am majoring in business studies, but the course also involves a great deal of information technology.
W: I see. But what makes you think that you should apply for this ESP course in Australia?
M: Well, it seems to me that language improvement is very important and helpful in business studies, especially with the development of international trade. But I think that an overseas course is particularly important because of the cultural insights it can provide.
W: Oh, it sounds interesting. Would you please explain it further?
M: Yeah, for example, I am very interested in contrasting negotiation styles. From what I've read, it seems that attitudes and approaches vary a lot from one culture to another.
W: That's a quite interesting point. Well, now is there anything that you would like to ask me?
M: Yes. I wonder whether there are courses on ESP for business students in this college.
W: As fas as I know, there are a number of fields in ESP, and business is definitely one of them.
M: I see. Thanks a lot.
W: It's nice meeting you. We'll let you know if you are on the short list by the end of this month.
M: Thanks a lot.
