W: Sure. Weren't you in class on Monday? That's when it was given out.
M: No, I missed that class. Was there a handout?
W: No, the instructor just wrote the assignment on the board.
M: Could I copy the assignment from your notes?
W: You could, ff I had copied it all down; but I just wrote down the part that I wanted.
M: Oh, no.
W: You see, there were four choices of topics ior the term paper; but, when I saw them, I knew which one I wanted so I didn't copy the others down.
M: Can you remember any o'f the others?
W: Let's see. There was one about World War I, something about it, but I don't remember what, and there was one called "the idea of progress in the nineteenth century."
M: And what was the last one?
W: I can't remember. My mind is a complete blank. Maybe you can ask someone else.
M: Yes, I will. Anyway, those are certainly broad topics.
W: Yes, but you van focus on a special area within them. Which one would you take?
M: Of course, I don't know what the last one is, but of these three, I think I'd take "the idea of progress."
W: That's very abstract.
M: Yes, but it's one of my interests and I've read a lot on the subject. I've never written a term paper on it though.
W: Me neither. I haven't even read about it. Are you going to class on Wednesday?
M: Yes.
W: Maybe he'll write it on the board again.
M: I hope so. Good luck with your paper.
W: Same to you.

I am very interested in people, in meeting them and 【28】______ about them. Some of the most 【29】______ people I've met existed only in a Writer's imagination, then 【30】______ the pages of his book, and then, again, in my imagination. I've found in books new friends, new societies, new words.
If I am interested in people, others are interested not so much in who 【31】______ in how. Who in the books includes everybody from science-fiction superman two hundred centuries in the future all the way back to the first 【32】______ in history; how 【33】______ everything from the ingenious explanations of Sherlock Holmes 【34】______ the discoveries of science and ways of teaching manners to children.
Reading can make our minds feel pleased, 【35】______ means that it is a little like a sport: your eagerness and knowledge and quickness 【36】______ you a good reader. Reading is 【37】______ , not because the writer is telling you something, 【38】______ because it makes your mind work. Your own imagination works together with the 【39】______ or even goes beyond his.

M: I saw that article, too. But think, if someone runs into a drug store for 10 minutes, he is usually there to make a specific purchase.
W: And someone who spends more time there may be just looking?
M: Exactly. Haven't you ever gone into a store thinking that you'll buy something and then talk yourself out of it?
W: Yes, I have. Especially when I thought I could get it for less elsewhere, or I really didn't need it after all.
M: Exactly, but, if you run in to buy something specific and have very little time, you pick it up, pay for it immediately, and then leave.
W: That's true. Maybe we should learn a lesson from that. Take your time end you'll spend less money.
M: I doubt if that would be true in all stores though. In a department store, for instance, you may see a sweater or some thing you never intend to buy, and buy it because you have time to look around.

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.
46.The expression "letting it all hang out" means "________ .
[A] balancing all thoughts
[B] expressing all real feelings
[C] considering all relationships
[D] admitting all human weaknesses
听力原文: The quest for success always begins with a target. As Yogi Bear once said, "You've got to be very careful if you don't know where you're going, because you might not get there." Too many people wander through life like sleepwalkers. Each day they follow familiar routines, never asking, "What am I doing with my life?" And they don't know what they are doing because they lack goals.
Goal-setting is a focusing of the will to move in a certain direction. Begin with a clear conception of what you want. Write clown your goals and date them—putting them into words and clarifying them. Rather than concentrating on objects to acquire and possess, focus on fulfilling your desires to do, to produce, to contribute goal-setting that yields the true sense of satisfaction we all need.
It's important to visualize yourself accomplishing your goal. While losers visualize the penalties of failure, winners visualize the rewards of success. I've seen it among athletes, entrepreneurs and public speakers.
I've done it myself. I was terrified of air travel. I had read too many articles describing crash scenes and imagined these scenes vividly. Friends quoted statistics contrasting air and highway safety, but it made no difference. I had the opportunity to fly on a private plane with friends to a resort. I didn't want to miss out on a great vacation. So I spent two weeks imagining a smooth flight on a beautiful sunny day and an easy landing. When the day arrived, I was eager to go. To everyone's surprise, I got on the plane and flew. I loved every minute of it, and I still use the techniques I employed that day.
