soliloquy Macbeth Mark Antony s Funeral Oration Grey s Elegy and all the rest ofit I hearditallasa child I memorized and learnedit 石油人论坛友情提供 all He sent me to the state university The desire to write which had been strong during all my daysinhigh school grew stronger still I was editor of the college paper the college magazine etc andinmy last yearortwo I was a member of a coursein playwriting

Harvard wrote some more plays starting to think that I had to be a playwright After leaving Harvard I had my plays rejected And finallyinthe autumn of 1926 I had a moment of literary inspiration that drove me forward to dedicate my life to writing But I have never exactly been able to determine all these questionslikehow why or in what manner Probably the forceinme that had to write at last sought outitschannel I began to write my first bookinLondon I was living all alone at that time I had two rooms a bed room and a sitting room in a little squareinChelseainwhich all the houseshad thatfamiliar

University of Minnesota If we recognize and try to conquer diem we can step up our listening ability by about twenty five percent and thereby greatly increase ourchancesforsuccessinourdally lives Unless you are very unusual indeed saysDr Nichols you must plead guilty to several of the following bad listening habits Daydream Listening Youcan think aboutfourtimesasfastasthe average person speaks So you have quite a bit of spare thinking time while waiting for the words to come in Unconsciously you use this time if you are a poorlistener to let your thoughtsdrift elsewhere For instance your teacherisgiving you some background material on American history Yourmindiswith him at first Then other thoughts drift into that spare thinking space Without warning they have taken over your mind entirely I musm t forget to go downtown afterschool forMother If only my bike wasfixed Maybe I can get Joe to come over Saturday and help me Yourthoughts drift on Suddenly with a jolt you hear these words Now we ll have a little test on what I have been explaining Ouch So what to do to keep daydreams from filtering in One wayisto put that extra thinking time to work on the subject Sum up what the speakerissaying look for major points Pretend you are going to have to repeat his ideas Put his words into yourwords It isn teasy It takes effort and time to learn But the results are sure to surprise and please you That s What You Think Listening Youhave your own pe ideas on certain subjects Youdon t like to hear anything Which might make you question them So when anyone begins arguing on the other side you simply stop listening Instead you plan whatyou are going to answer Anyone who refuses too often to listento the other side of a questionrisks becoming narrow mindedan exasperating and unattractive traitinthe other fellow Is it any more becoming to you No thanks yousay and decide to hear the other fellow out Maybe heisright Maybe you are Butyou can give him a betterargument on your viewpoint if you hearwhat he says Half An EarListening Often othersoundscompete foryour attention and win Yourfathergivesyou a list of errands But his voice must compete with say your favorite song on the radio Later you find that half an ear wasn t enough Youdidn t listen to your father s words closely enough to hear and remember them Youhave to 石油人论坛友情提供 telephone home for a repeat performance And you can t really blame your father for being irritated Better to mm off the radio shut the door on competing noises if possible If not guard against your tendency to listen to distracting sounds So there are the forces some within ourselves some outside that work againstus inour efforts to listen But once we learn what they are and how to fight them we are well on our way m getting rid of wasteful listening habits 49 From thispiece we learn that A itiseasierto listen alone thanina group B listening requireslittle skill C thereisa difference between hearing and listening D deafnessismuch more colnmon than most people suppose 50 Poorlistening can be attributed to A distracting outside influences B faultswithin ourselves C bad habits D all of the above 51 Because
