Wise men don’t always act as wise as we think. At times they maybe do something silly. We always think they are well know, so then the stories about their foolish acts are still widely talked throughout the world in modern times. For example, Beethoven, a great composer, was said to having insisted on paying a waiter in a restaurant for a dinner he has not eaten or ever ordered; the British physicist Newton, while lives in London, cut two holes in the door of his flat, one big, other small, so as to his two cats to pass through. He only thought the bigger cat could not get through the smaller holes easily.

Our interpersonal skills have a great effect on success in our daily lives. This appears not only in the workplace where we can make more money or enjoy our job more, but also shows itself in marriage, raising a family and the ability to reach goals in almost every area of life. Interpersonal skills come into play when our flight is cancelled and we need to make other arrangements. They come into play when a marriage is threatened by financial challenges or infidelity(不忠).

Our communication skills even matter when we are in traffic and we need to make a decision about how to respond to other drivers. Communicating with others becomes inseparable from having a good day, or a bad day not only in how we begin communication, but in how we react to the communications of others who are having a difficult time.

It can make a difference in saving a marriage or getting a divorce, celebrating a rise or getting fired, and even having your eggs cooked as the way you like at the local restaurant. Many wise men and women have stressed the importance of dealing with others in a skillful manner.

Getting feedback(反饋意見) from others can be of great value in improving our interpersonal communication skills. Often, however, others are not skilled at giving feedback. When we get negative results, they rarely include the details we need in order to improve our interpersonal skills.

Since life improves so much with greater communication skills, getting feedback and an opportunity to improve would be not only life-saving for pilots, but labor-saving for the rest of us. Contact Alice Aspen March for a free consultation today and see how you might improve your communication skills, or learn more about The Attention Factor.

1.Which of the following can greatly influence our success in our daily life according to the passage?

A. The education we receive.            B. The skills of making a decision.

C. The nationality of our friends.         D. Our interpersonal skills.

A. Family members

B. Interpersonal skills.

C. Husband and wife

D. Challenges of lack of money.

3.Why does the author mention “traffic” and “other drivers” in the second paragraph?

A. Just to call our attention

B. To tell us the importance of communication skills.

C. To lead us to think of a sad scene

D. To help us not to forget traffic is very important.

4.Which of the following is true?

A. Getting feedback from others can be valueless in improving our interpersonal skills.

B. Even if we have good communication skills, we will surely not be able to improve our life.

C. If we pay enough money, we can get some advice from Alice Aspen March.

D. Many wise people think communicating with others needs skills.

5.What’s the best title of the passage?

A. The Attention Factor

三，閱讀理解(共15小題；每小題2分,滿分30分)

閱讀下列短文,從每小題后所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中,選出最佳選項。

During his college years, Rogers spent his summer holidays at an Idaho logging camp (伐木場). When Roy, the manager, had to leave for a few days, he put Rogers in charge. "What if the workers refuse to follow my orders?" Rogers asked. He thought of Tony, a worker who was always giving the other men a hard time. "Fire them," Roy said. Then, as if reading Rogers’ mind, he added, "I suppose you want to fire Tony if you get the chance. I’d feel bad about that. Tony is the most reliable worker I’ve ever had. I know he complains a lot, but he comes first and leaves last. There has not been an accident on the hill where he works for eight years." Rogers took over the manager’s job the next day. He went to Tony and spoke to him, "Tony, did you know that I’m in charge today?" Tony didn’t show any respect or interest. "I was going to fire you because you once gave me a hard time, but I want you to know I’m not," he told Tony, adding what Roy had said. When Rogers finished, tears streamed down Tony’s face. That day Tony worked harder than ever before —and he smiled for the first time! Rogers went back to school after that summer. Twelve years later he met Tony again. He was in charge of one of the largest logging companies in the West. Rogers asked him how he managed to become so successful. Tony replied, "If it were not for that time you spoke to me back in Idaho, I would not be myself today. That one minute changed my whole life." Have you got one minute to appreciate someone? It can make a difference for a lifetime.

1. Which of the following statements about Tony is TRUE?

A. He didn’t care about his work.

B. He never showed respect to his co-workers.

C. Nobody liked Tony because of his bad temper.

B. Well begun is half done.

C. It’s necessary to work with a wise boss.

D. It’s important to recognize others’ good qualities.

My friend John always has something to tell me. He knows so much that   21   men have to have older and more worldly wise men to tell them,   22  , who to trust, how to care for others and how to live life    23     the fullest.

Recently, John lost his    24     Janet. For eight years she fought against cancer, but in the end her sickness had the last    25 . One day John took out a folded piece of   26    from his wallet. He had found it, so he told me, when he     27    up some drawers at home.

It was a    28     love letter Janet had written. The note could look like a school girl’s scrawls(潦草地寫，亂涂) about her dream guy.    29    the letter was written by a woman who had had seven children, a woman who fought for her life and who    30    only had a few months left to live.

It was    31    a beautiful recipe (處方，食譜) for how to keep a marriage together. Janet’s    32  of her husband begins like this, “Loved me. Took care of me. Worried about me.”

“Helped me when I was ill.” The next    33    reads. After that she turned    34   the paper and added “Warmth. Humor. Kindness. Thoughtfulness.” And then she writes about the husband she has    35    with and loved most in her life. “  36  there when I needed you.” The last words she wrote   37   all the others. I can see her for me when she added thoughtfully “Good friend.”

I stand beside John now, and cannot pretend to know how it feels to lose someone who is as close to   38   as Janet was to him. I need to   39   what he has to say much more than he needs to talk.

“John,” I ask. “How do you stick together with someone through 38 years—not to mention the sickness? How do I know     40     I can bear to stand by my wife’s side if she becomes sick one day?”

“You can.” he says quietly, “ If you love her enough, you can.”
