How do we know that the stars are really huge balls of fire like the Sun and very far away? And how do we know that the Earth is a smaller ball turning round one of those stars, the Sun?The key to those questions is“ evidence(证据). Sometimes evidence means actually seeing (or hearing, feeling, smelling) that something is true. Astronauts have travelled far enough from the Earth to see with their own eyes that it is round. Sometimes our eyes need help The evening star looks like a bright twinkle in the sky, but with a telescope( 望远镜 ) you can see that it is a beautiful ball. Something that you learn by direct seeing(or hearing or feeling )is called an observation(观察)Often evidence isnt just observation on its own, but observation always hides at the back of it. If theres been a murder, often nobody(except the murderer and the dead person!)actually observed it. But detectives(侦探)can gather together lots of other observations which may all point towards the suspect(嫌疑犯). If a persons finger- prints match those found on a knife, this is evidence that he touched it. It doesnt prove(证明)that he did the murder, but it can help when its joined up with lots of other evidence.Prediction helps to look for evidence. Scientists make a guess about what might be true. For example, if the world is really round, we can predict that any of us, going on and on in the same direction, should eventually find ourselves back where we startedPeople sometimes say that you must believe in feelings deep inside, but not all the inside feelings are real evidence.What can we do about all this? When somebody tells you something that sounds possible, think to yourself: Is there any evidence for that? And, next time somebody tells you that something is true, why not say to them: What kind of evidence is there for that? Remember ,always think carefully before you believe a word.22 . Why does the writer use the example of a detective in Paragraph 3?ATo explain what prediction isBTo tell what observation is calledCTo introduce how detectives work.DTo prove evidence is not just observation23 . The underlined eventually in Paragraph 4 meansAprobablyBfinallyCcompletelyDluckily24 . Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?APrediction helps to prove something if it is true.BWhat you see directly is real evidenceCPeople should always believe their inside feelingsDAstronauts find the Earth is round with a telescope.25 . whats the best title of the passage?AEvidence speaksBScientists make predictionsCInside feelings help get ideasDObservation offers the factsEnglish Speech ClubDate: April. 8th-19th, 2019Place: Top Score AcademyTime: 8:30 a. m. -4:00 p. m.Fee: $145Aim: Learn to speak with more confidence and improve your spoken English.Call 87733982 or send e-mails to speaker126. com.Natural History MuseumDo you want to learn about ancient animals and plants?

However, if you dont truly listen to others, it can be difficult to communicate. Working on your listening skills can help you understand each other better and form stronger bonds.Stay in the present When listening to a family member, do not think about anything else. Put your phone away and give the speaker your full attention. Its important to try to stay in the present to make your family member feel heard and valued. Pay attention to what is being said. Make understanding the speakers thoughts the most important thing at the moment.Use body languageIf you want the family member to feel valued, make sure to show that you are listening. You can do it by using body language. Nod as the speaker talks. Smile when it is suitable. Keep eye contact. Do not cut inCutting in can prevent you from communicating effectively. No matter how excited you feel about a subject, do not start talking until the family member has finished. Always allow a few seconds of silence after the speaker finishes talking before offering your reply. This allows you to make sure the speaker has finished, and gives the speaker a chance to fully express himself. Ask questionsPart of listening is understanding. If there is anything in the conversation you dont understand, please ask after the family member finishes. This shows you are truly listening to him and value his thoughts. Ask questions that encourage open discussions. For example, “What do you think of the situation?” Dont ask “why” questions, which might not make the speaker feel comfortable. Follow these tips
