sixth sense of directionby trying out ideas and solving problems one by one，they are now getting closer to one answerone funny idea is that animals might have a built-in compass(指南针)our earth itself is a big magnet(磁体)so a little magnetic needle that swings freely linesitself with the big earth magnet to point north and southwhen people discovered that idea about a thousand years ago and invented the compass，it allowed sailors to navigate (航海)on ocean voyages, even under cloudy skies. actually the idea of the living compass came just from observing animals in nature many birds migrate twice a year between their summer homes and winter homessome of them fly for thousands of kilometers and mostly at nightexperiments have shown that some birds can recognize star patternsbut they can keep on course even under cloudy skieshow can they do that?a common bird that does not migrate but is great at finding its way home is the homing pigeonnot all pigeons can find their way homethose that can are very good at it，and they have been widely studied one interesting experiment was to attach little magnets to the birds heads to block theirmagnetic sensejust as a loud radio can keep you from hearing a call to dinneron sunny days, that did not fool the pigeonsevidently they can use the sun to tell which way they are goingbut on cloudy days，the pigeons with magnets could not find their wayit was as if the magnets had blocked their magnetic sensesimilar experiments with the same kind of results were done with honeybeesthese insects also seem to have a special sense of directionin spite of the experiments，the idea of an animal compass seemed pretty extraordinaryhowwould an animal get the magnetic stuff for a compass.an answer came from an unexpected sourcea scientist was

a chain of dense particles inside，whichproved magneticthe bacteria had made themselves into little magnets that could line up with theearths magnetthe big news was that a living thing，even a simple bacterium，can make magnetitethat ledto a search to see whether animals might have it. by using a special instrument called magnetometer，scientists were able to find magnetite in bees and birds，and

they generally want at least two things: theyve been heard and theyve been understood. as a good communicator should be a good listener, five steps are advocated toward good listening.the first step is cooperating(合作).how does a difficult person know that youre listening and understanding? in fact, its through the way you look and sound while he is talking. you may help him to fully express his thoughts and feelings. you do this by nodding your head in agreement, making certain sounds of understanding.when the person begins to repeat whats been said, its a signal of step two: turning back. it means that you repeat some words he is using, sending a clear signal the youre listening carefully and that you think what he is saying is important.having heard what he has to say, the next step is clarifying. at this point, you start to gather information about what is being communicated. ask same open-ended questions, which will allow you to figure out what intention he is hoping to satisfy.the fourth step is to summarize(概括)what youve heard. this allows you to make sure that both you and the difficult person are on the same page. when you do this, two things happen first, if youve missed something, he can fill in the (细节).second, youve shown that youre making an effort to understand completely. this increases possibility of gaining cooperation from him.having listened carefully, youve now arrived at the point of confirming with the person that he feels satisfied that this thoughts have been fully voiced. ask if he feels understood.then enough sincere listening, questioning, and remembering are brought together, understanding is usually achieved and a difficult person becomes less difficult and more cooperative.topic(1) to understandreasondifficult people

such as glastonbury may never be the same again. in a victory of green business that is certain to appeal to environmentally-aware music-lovers, a design student is to receive financial support to produce eco-friendly tents made of cardboard that can be recycled after the bands and the crowds have gone home. major festivals such as glastonbury throw away some 10,000 abandoned tents at the end of events each year. for his final year project at the university of the west of england, james dunlop came up with a material that can be recycled. and to cope with the british summer, the cardboard has been made waterproof. taking inspiration from a japanese architect, who has used cardboard to make big buildings including churches, mr dunlop used cardboard material for his tents, which he called myhabs. the design won an award at the annual new designers exhibition after mr dunlop graduated from his product design degree and he decided to try to turn it into a business. to raise money for the idea, he toured the citys private companies which fund new businesses and found a supporter in the finance group mint. he introduced his idea to four of mints directors and won their support. mint has committed around 500,000 to myhab and taken a share of 30 percent in mr dunlops business. the first myhabs should be tested at festivals this summer, before being marketed fully next year. mr dunlop said that the design, which accommodates two people, could have other uses, such as for disaster relief and housing for the london olympics. for music events, the cardboard houses will be ordered online and put up at the sites by the myhab team before the festival goers arrive and removed by the company afterwards. they can be personalized and the company will offer reductions on the expense if people agree to sell exterior(外部的) advertising space. the biggest festivals attract tens of thousands of participants, with glastonbury having some 150,000 each year. altogether there are around 100 annual music festivals where people camp in the uk. the events are becoming increasingly environmentally conscious.
