Women, be on your guard. There is a new male excuse for not listening to us. A recent study shows that men find it almost impossible to listen to what women say because their brains are out of synch(不同步的)with "complex female tones". Apparently, when men listen to other men about the things they care about, they use only the frontal area of their brains. However, when they listen to women it's different story. They have to work much harder, employing a part of the brain that normally deals with music. So when a man tells you your voice is "music to his ears", he's actually telling the truth, though not in a good way. I'm sure a lot of women could recall times when they have wasted hours explaining why they are completely right about everything in the world, only to wake up the next day to discover that not one brilliant point got through. Those times when men haven't listened to me, I just thought I was being ignored. I didn't realize I just wasn't singing their favorite music. If I'd realized I was being heard as "music", I would have had a bit of fun with it. Whenever I wanted a "discussion", I'd have brought along my own band, complete with string and horn sections.
It is difficult not to be suspicious of yet more scientific findings sparing men the blame because of their biology. Isn't this "slaves to biology" all-purpose excuse wearing thin? It's enough to make you wonder at what a strange helpless species men are ----which part of the body will be "beyond their control" next.
Even if there is something in it, we have to take into account that most relationships are likely to become boring. That's the truth of the matter. Male or female, your voice might start out as music to your beloved's ears. But finally it will end up as boredom.
When your beautiful tones are there all the time, as they go about their daily business, you start to blend in a bit too much, until finally you become a kind of background noise.
1.The author of this passage tries to ___________. A. throw doubts on a commonly accepted idea B. explain a commonly accepted idea as it is C. give some advice on a common problem D. argue against a common belief
答案解析：答案為B。本題考查文章的寫作目的。本文第二段就揭示了為什么男性聽不進去女性的話的原因，文章后面的內(nèi)容對此進行了闡述。故答案為B。
2.According to the new study, men don't listen to women because _________ . A. what women say are usually boring B. they don't care about what women say C. they can't deal with female voices D. they regard female voices as music
答案解析：答案為C。本題為推理題。由第三段的內(nèi)容可知，男性在聽同性的話語的時候只是用了大腦的前面區(qū)域;然而聽女性的話語的時候，卻更費力，因為要使用通常用
來聽音樂的那部分的大腦區(qū)域。故可推斷，男性不聽女性的話是因為他們大腦不能非常容易地處理女性的聲音。故答案為C。干擾性最強的D選項 “他們把女性的聲音當(dāng)成音樂” 與文意不符。故錯誤。 3.The underlined sentence in the fifth paragraph shows that the author is _______. A. realistic B. humorous C. serious D. funny 答案解析：答案為B。本題為句意推斷題。結(jié)合第五段的內(nèi)容，作者以女性的口吻談到如果她早意識到她是因為 “音樂”而被男人傾聽，她會為此而感到些許開懷。無論何時，如果她想要一場“討論”，就會帶上自己的樂隊，弦號俱全。故可以推斷，劃線部分的語言顯得幽默。
4.What does the author think of the finding of the new study? A. She thinks it doubtful. C. She thinks it needs further proof.
D. She thinks it right.
答案解析：答案為A。本題為細節(jié)推斷題。由倒數(shù)第三段首句 “It is difficult not to be suspicious of ?” 可知，本句話的同義詞就是doubtful..故答案為A。 5.The author would most probably agree that ________. A. men should accept what women say
B. women should talk less and do more housework
C. however beautiful voices may be, they will finally become boring D. the relationship between men and women should always be improving 答案解析：答案為C。本題為推理題。從最后一段 “When your beautiful tones are there all the time, as they go about their daily business, you start to blend in a bit too much, until finally you become a kind of background noise.” 可知，當(dāng)你美妙的旋律每天都出現(xiàn)在男人日常生活中的時候，最后也會變成背景噪音。故答案為C.
A、B未提及;倒數(shù)第二段首句提到了 “? most relationships are likely to become boring.” D選項與此不符，故錯誤。
B
Listen carefully, working people, we would like to tell you something that could save your precious time and money! Best of all, it is free! It’s “no”.
What do you ask? We’ll say it again: “No”. Sweet and simple “no”.
Say “no” at your office and see how quickly that pile of work on your desk disappears.
“Saying ‘no’ to others means you are saying ‘yes’ to yourself, ” said Leslie Charles, a professional speaker from East Lansing, Michigan.
“Time is precious. People are spending money buying time. And yet we are willing to give up our time because we can’t say ‘no’.” Susie Watson, a famous writer, said people who always say “yes” need to say “no” without guilt(內(nèi)疚)or fear of punishment. “I would rather have someone give me a loving ‘no’ than an obligated(強制的) ‘yes’, ” she said.
Susie Watson says she feels “no” obligation to give an explanation when she says
B
“no” either socially or professionally. Does she feel guilty about it? “Not at all, ” said Watson, who is director of advertising and public relations at Timex Corp in Middlebury, Conneticut. “Most people are afraid of saying ‘no’? My advice is to say ‘yes’ only if you don’t mean ‘no’.” Watson said “no” is the most effective weapon against wasting time. “Every year there are more demands on your time? Other people are happy to use up your time, ” Watson said. Time saving appears to be “no’s” greatest friend.
“No” can be your new friend, a powerful tool to take back your life. “No” may even take you further in the business world than “yes”. “No” is power and strength. “No” now seems completely correct. “Saying ‘no’ isn’t easy. But finally it’s greatly liberating,” Charles said. But, he added, a “no” project needs to be worked on every day because it is hard to change long-term habit.
But, he also warns: “Don’t go to extremes. Don’t find yourself saying ‘no’ to everything. In return you should learn to hear ‘no’.” 1. The sentence “Saying ‘yes’ to yourself” means _______. A. you can have more time to play with others
B. you needn’t care about other’s feeling if you are happy C. you are selfish and treat others rudely
D. you can deal with your business as you have planned
答案解析：答案為D。本題為細節(jié)推理題。由第五、六段可知，對別人說 “不”就是對自己說 “是”，當(dāng)在辦公室說 “不”的時候，你可以看到你桌上的文件很快就完成了。故答案為D。
2. When you say “no” to others you should say it in a _______. A. secret way B. polite way C. proud way D. guilty way 答案解析：答案為B。本題為細節(jié)推理題。由第八段 “?I would rather have someone give me a loving ‘no’ ?”的 “l(fā)oving” 可以推斷，答案為B。
3. In Watson’s opinion, people can save much time on condition that _______. A. they say “no” at a suitable time B. they say “no” as much as possible C. they are afraid of saying “no” D. they make others angry at them
答案解析：答案為A. 本題為推理題。結(jié)合倒數(shù)第五段的內(nèi)容和該段的最后一句話 “?My advice is to say ‘yes’ only if you don’t mean ‘no’.” 可知，Watson的總結(jié)性意見是如果你不打算對別人說 “不”，那就說 “是”。故可以推斷，說 “不”要在合適的時間。故答案為A。
4. If a person says “no” to everything, the result he or she receive may be that he or she _______.
A. enjoys a wonderful life B. makes a lot of money
C. faces difficulty in life D. forgets to say “yes” in the end 答案解析：答案為C。本題為推理題。由最后一段 Charles 所講的 “Don’t go to extremes. Don’t find yourself saying ‘no’ to everything?”可知，他認(rèn)為不能凡事都說 “不”，不能走極端。故可以推斷，如果凡事說 “不”，生活就會遇到麻煩。
