Some people read newspapers as the first thing to do in the morning, while others read newspapers as soon as they have spare time during the day so that they can learn what is happening in the world.Sometimes, we do not have enough time to read all the news carefully, so we just take a quick look at the front page. At other times, we may be in such a hurry that we only have a few minutes to look at the headlines(标题) of the passage.Newspapers can be found everywhere in the world. We can get many different kinds of newspapers in big cities, but in some mountain villages we can see few newspapers.Some newspapers are published（被印刷） once a week, but most of the papers are published once a day with many pages, some even published twice a day! You know different people enjoy reading different newspapers. Some like world news and others prefer short stories.

In some ways, its because they are different listeners. When having classes, some of them listen carefully. We call them effective listeners. Some just daydream or talk to others. They are ineffective listeners. How are some listeners effective? First of all, they dont care about some poor situations, like an uncomfortable seat or a personal problem. They say “No” to anything that will stop them from understanding and remembering. After leaving a class or meeting, they remember what the speakers said, not the room conditions or the speakers accent (口音). Effective listeners always pay attention to the message itself. They try not to be influenced (被影响) by their own feelings or opinions. They do not decide if the thing is boring, too easy, or too difficult before listening. They like getting the challenge (挑战) of new ideas. To help remember difficult ideas, they write down important words and phrases.However, ineffective listeners often daydream. They dont like to hear what they dont agree with or easily understand. They are often so busy taking notes that they miss the speakers main idea. These listeners leave a speech or a class with a notebook full of words, but the notebook means nothing. Do you wish to do well in your study? Start to be an effective listener. It may help. 58. What does the underlined word “effective” mean?A. 杰出的B. 有效率的C. 机智的D. 积极的59.
