13、omprehensio(总题数：4，分数：40.00)When you speak on the telephone, you cannot use your facial expression, eye contact and gestures to help communicate your message. Your voice must do the job.

14、ties of a good voice: Speak in a voice neither too loud nor too soft. Speak louder when giving important information.

They have a beginning, a middle, and an endwith commercials thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoid
20、able. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. “Buy Super Clean Toothpaste. “ “Drink Root Beer. “ Fill up with Pacific Gas. “ Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television off, are you spared the unending cry of “Yo
21、u Need It! Buy It Now!“ The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if you ve traveled that way before. Usually some things have changenew houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and it s fun to try to figure it out the first h
22、our or so. If the driver is particularly reckless or daring, the ride can be as thrilling as a suspense story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left-hand lane? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the mi
23、ddle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you ve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.

24、ation and excitement in that. The seat, of course, has become harder as the hours have passed.

29、e will imitate what they see on TV, what they read in the newspapers and what they witness every day. It is better to prevent violence than to try to stop it. Dentists tell you to brush your teeth to prevent cavities so they won t have to fill the cavity later. People and lawmakers all over the worl
30、d realize this. The next question is, “How do you prevent violence from happening?“ To answer this question, you may ask yourself, “ What causes violence?“ Guns are definitely something used in acts of violence, but just about anything will do. Bare hands are often the weapons. What we have to do is
31、 to work together as a community and make violence wrong but not to tolerate. Weve got to find a better solution than jails, and we ve got to do it now. It s not something that can wait.

32、 kind of languageEnglish, Spanish, French, Hebrew, you name it, so that it can reach all kinds of people. People need to be cool. Violence needs to be labeled as foolish. It cannot be machismo(大男子气概)and toughness. We can reach people in all kinds of ways. Little reminders that “Violence is wrong“ ca
33、n show up in any way, shape or form: chain letters, a million dollars to anyone who can make a video showing 30 acts of kindness, flyers, newspaper ads, contests in schools, a free TV ad to the most peace-loving company and much more.

38、he causes of violenceIn your car you may have a cell phone, a telephone also known as a mobile phone that you can carry around and use anywhere. On your way, you may feel coordinated and enjoy your hands-free phone talking while driving. But recent studies suggest that it isn t the dialing or the ar
39、m waving that makes driving while talking on a cell phone dangerous. It is the yakking itselfor more precisely, the continuous conversation with someone who isnt presentthat makes. David Strayer, a Utah psychologist, says “Your driving performance while talking on a cell phone is weakened at levels
40、comparable to, or worse than, driving with a blood alcohol level of 0. 08,“ which is the legal limit in most states of America. Using a driving-training simulator, Strayer and his colleagues compared the attention levels and response time of 110 drivers in various situations. In dense traffic, cell
41、phone users were about 20 percent slower to respond to sudden hazards than other drivers, and they were about twice as likely to drive into the back of a braking car in front of them. “ Cell phone drivers are obtaining less than 50 percent of the visual information that non-cell drivers are getting,
42、“ says Strayer. “ Looking and seeing are not one and the same. “ By contrast, the researchers found that listening to the radio or conversing with passengers is not as hazardous. “When a dangerous situation arises, the driver and passengers put their conversation on pause,“ Strayer says. Whether tal
43、king with a passenger or someone on a cell phone, however, people are less able to recall the details of a conversation carried on while driving. “ So it might not be good for your economic health to discuss investment strategies with your agent while either of you is driving. “ Strayer adds lastly.
