A daring repair team, working more than 300 feet in the air, moved the clock s 9-foot-long hour hand and 14-foot-
26、long minute hand to the midnight position. Then, time stood still. After the cleaning were done, the huge clock began keeping time again. But its bells stayed silent. They will likely come back into action later this month, ringing out the hour and quarter hour, after the maintenance project is comp
27、lete. Though everyone calls the tower Big Ben, its official name is the Great Bell. Technically, “Big Ben ” refers only to the 13-ton bell inside the clock tower. Famous for its timekeeping accuracy, the four-faced clock rises high above Londons Houses of Parliament （议会大厦）. It was built after a fire
28、 destroyed most of Parliament in 1834. The construction was long and difficult. Big Ben first rang out in 1859. The clock faces are cleaned every five years.

Your English is progressing well, the grammar is now familiar, the reading comprehension is no problem, you are communicating quit
32、e fluently, but: Listening is STILL a problem! First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening comprehension is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. The most important thing is to listen as often as possible. The first step is to find lis
33、tening resources. The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The RealPlayer from RealM. The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet like a radio station. Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated ( 懊 恼) by limited understanding
34、. What should you do? Here is some of the advice I give my students: Accept the fact that youare not going to understand everything. Stay relaxed when you do not understand even if you continue not to understand for a long time. Do not translate what you hear into your native language. Listen for th
35、e general idea of the conversation. Dontconcentrate on detail until you have understood the main ideas. I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany. In the beginning, when I didn t understand a word, I insisted on translating it in my mind. This method u
36、sually resulted in confusion. Then, after the first six months, I discovered two extremely important facts. Firstly, translating creates a wall between the listener and the speaker. Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly. By remaining calm, I noticed that even if I didn t pay much attent
37、ion I could usually understand what the speaker had said. 43. The best way to improve our listening is to _.

39、s of speaking a foreign language. C. To tell us the importance of staying calm. D. To point out an ineffective method of listening. 46. The underlined part “a wall ” in the last paragraph refers to “_”. A. a communication barrier B. culture shock C. language conflict D. a little misunderstanding D S
40、hyness requires a sense of self, and it develops only after about 18 months of age. It s about feelings of too much self -consciousness (自我意识 ). Bernardo Carducci, an expert in shyness, said, “Shy people act as if you have a mirror in front of them all the time.” Genes(基因 ) do, however, seem to play
41、 a role. About 15 percent of babies are born with it. And if one of the twins is shy, the other also is likely to be shy. But this does not mean that shyness cannot be overcome. In a family, shy people want to be outgoing and friendly, but cant seem to know how to do it. They are also slow to “warm
42、up” in new social situations, partly because they are so self- - conscious. At parties, if they re not comfortable within 10 minutes, they ll turn and run. Besides, shy people tend to have what Carducci calls a “limited comfort zone”. They may be social and have friends, but they will do the same th
43、ings over and over again with the same small circle of people, rather than exposing ( 暴露 ) themselves to new social situations. There are a number of ways to overcome their shyness. One is through relaxation training. People might try imagining themselves in different social situations while taking
44、slow, deep breaths to keep calm. They can also work to slowly make their comfort zone larger. Its also important to overcome shyness one step at a time. The next time youre invited to a party but afraid to go, try remembering this: shyness may affect up to 40 percent of the population, but it doesnt
45、have to be a life sentence （无期徒刑）. People can overcome their shyness with preparation followed by slowly making themselves get used to new social situations. 47.

49、smates talked happily with their friends, but I sat at my desk unhappily as usual. 53 I didn t know who he was. He passed me and then turned back. He looked at me, with a smile on his face.
