听力原文： In Hollywood, everybody wants to be rich, famous and beautiful. Nobody wants to be old, unknown and poor. For Hollywood kids, life can be difficult, because they grow up in such an unreal atmosphere. Their parents are ambitious and the children are part of the parents' ambitions. Parents pay for wasteful grand parties, expensive cars and designer clothes.

When every dream can come true, kids don't learn the value of anything because they have everything. A thirteen-year-old boy, Trent Maguire, has a driver, credit cards and unlimited cash to do what he wants when he wants to. "One day, I'll earn more than my dad!" he boasts. Parents buy care and attention for the children because they have no time to give it themselves. Amanda's mother employs a personal trainer, a bodyguard, a singing coach and a counselor to look after all her fifteen-year-old daughter's needs.

Often there is no parent at home most days, so children decide whether to make their own meals or go out to restaurants, when to watch television or do homework. They organize their own social lives. They play no childhood games. They become adults before they're ready. Hollywood has always been the city of dreams. The kids there live unreal lives where money, beauty and pleasure are the only gods. Will children around the world soon start to think the same？ Or do they already？

Questions:

Why is life said to be difficult for Hollywood kids？

What does the speaker say about Trent Maguire, a thirteen-year-old boy？

Why does Amanda's mother employ other people to look after her needs？

What will probably have negative effects on the lives of Hollywood kids？

Mistakes are the things that nobody wants, but we still make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. Some are about work or jobs. But most mistakes are about people."Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen？ When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it as a friend？ Or did he envy my luck？ And why didn't Andy pick up that I was friendly just because 1 had a car？" When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it's too late.

Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies？ Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. We need to listen and think for some time. And if we don't really listen we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, "You’re a lucky dog" that's being friendly.But "lucky dog"？ There's a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn't see it himself. But bringing in the " dog"- bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn't think you deserve your luck.

"Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for" is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he？ Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn't important. It's telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven't got a date for Saturday night.

How can you tell the real meaning behind someone's words？ One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks？ Does what he says agree with the tone of voice？ His posture？ The look in his eyes？ Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.

第 21 题 This passage is mainly about__________.

A．how to interpret what people say

B．what to do when you listen to others talking

C．how to avoid mistakes when you communicate with people

D．why we go wrong with people sometimes

For the last fifteen or twenty years the fashion

in criticism or appreciation of the arts have been to 【1】______

to deny the existence of any valid criteria and to

make the words "good" or "bad" irrelevant,

immaterial, and inapplicable. There is no such a

thing, we are told, like a set of standards first 【2】______

acquired through experience and knowledge and

late imposed on the subject under discussion. This 【3】______

has been a popular approach, for it relieves the critic

of the responsibility of judgment and the public by the 【4】______

necessity of knowledge. It pleases those resentful of

disciplines, it flatters the empty-minded by calling

him open-minded, it comforts the confused. Under 【5】______

the banner of democracy and the kind of quality

which our forefathers did not mean, it says, in effect,

"Who are you to tell us what is good or bad？" This

is same cry used so long and so effectively by the 【6】______

the producers of mass media who insist that it is the

public, not they, who decide what it wants to hear and 【7】______

to see, and that for a critic to say that this program is

bad and that program is good is pure a reflection of 【8】______

personal taste. Nobody recently bas expressed this

philosophy most succinctly than Dr. Frank Stanton , 【9】______

the highly intelligent president of CBS television. At

a hearing before the Federal Communications

Commission, this phrase escaped from him under 【10】______

questioning: "One man's mediocrity is another

man's goed program".
