27、 hours Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Passage ThreeWhat is a good listener? Students who feel they are say it is because they pay attention; remember what the person says; and ask questions based on what the other has said; or it is because they like people and are interested

28、in them. They feel they are poor listeners when they think about something else while the other is talking or when theyre tired, or not interested in what she or he is talking about. In fact, there are a variety of ways to listen, just as there are a variety of ways to say something. Human beings ar

29、e complex and concealing. Often we dont say what we want to say, or say exactly the opposite of what we want to say. Sometimes, we arent honest or direct with another because we think we dont have the right or are afraid of what will happen if we are. The body talks, too, sometimes more honestly tha

30、n the tongue.These different ways of talking need different ways of listening.

31、u can be accurate in picking up messages no matter how they are masked or distorted (变形了旳) or how they are delivered. Some messages are heard just by listening silently; some, by holding a hand or giving a hug (拥抱). But to be able to respond accurately, you need to hear accurately. Most people liste

36、age FourSuperstition (迷信) is a difficult question. We cannot quite say that superstition in Britain is dead. Its history is too long and too recent for that, and indeed you will find many remains of it in modem Britain. But they are only connected chiefly with vague beliefs of good luck and bad luck

37、. It is unlucky, for instance, to walk under a ladder, or to spill salt, or break a mirror, or to have anything to do with number 13; whereas a horseshoe brings good luck, and people jokingly touch wood to prevent the return of a past misfortune. There are still many strange country remedies against

38、 sickness which are obviously superstitions. Most of all, there is still a surprising amount of interest in fortune-telling, e.g. in the form of horoscopes (占星术) in newspapers and womens magazines though for most people this is nothing more than an amusement, which they may well be slightly ashamed

39、of. But the real measure of superstition is fear. In this sense there is no superstition in Britain. British people as a whole do not believe in evil influences or evil spirits. Sickness and misfortune do not come from devils, but are the result of chance or foolishness or inefficiency. Devils belon

40、g only to history books. Devils exist only in the mind usually the minds of others. Magic is simply an interesting word for performing tricks. Fairies (童话故事中旳仙女) are pretty little winged creatures in fairy stories for children and any adult who believed in fairies or magic or devils would be conside

41、red slightly mad. Thus, modem Britain has largely emerged from superstition, and the future seems to consist not of devils, but of matter and machines. 31.
