Each town thought that it had a better reason for the other to mend the hole. The town on the right bank sai

23、d that it was at the end of the road，so the left-bank town should mend the hole. The town on the left bank，on the other hand，insisted that all the traffic came to the right-bank town，so it was in their interest to mend the bridge.The quarrel went on and on，and so did the hole. The more it went on，th

24、e more the hostility between the two towns grew.One day a man fell into the hole and broke his leg. People from both towns questioned him closely about whether he was walking from the right bank to the left or from the left bank to the right，in order to decide which town should be blamed for the acc

25、ident. But he could not remember，since he got drunk that night. Some time later，a car was crossing the bridge and broke an axle（轴）because of the hole.

26、r got out of the car and asked why the hole was not mended.On hearing the reason，he declared，"I'll buy this hole. Who's the owner"Both towns at once declared that they owned the hole."One or the other，whoever owns the hole must prove it.""How shall we prove it"a

27、sked both sides."That's simple. Only the owner of the hole has the right to mend it. I'll buy the hole from whoever mends the bridge."People from both towns rushed to do the job while the traveler smoked a cigar and his driver changed the axle. They mended the bridge in no time and

28、 asked for the money for the hole."What hole"The traveler looked surprised."I can't see any hole. I've been looking for a hole for several years now. I'm prepared to pay a good price for it，but there's no hole here. Are you pulling my leg or what"He got into his c

32、scientists say they have discovered something in lava（熔岩）that will help do this. They did the research on Mount Unzen on the southern Japanese island of Kyushu.Mount Unzen exploded in November，1990. Since then，more explosions have killed 43 people and destroyed the homes of more than 2，000 others. T

33、he volcano is still active today.The scientists say the lava of the volcano contains high level of an element（成份），which is a sign of the presence of the lava from deep in the earth，not from the surface. They say it shows that the lava coming directly from inside the earth is connected with huge expl

34、osions instead of smaller ones.The scientists examined the lava from 18 explosions of Mount Unzen that took place during many thousands of years. They also studied the lava from other volcanoes in the area that are older than Mount Unzen. The lava studied came from both large and small explosions. T

35、he scientists found that large explosions contained more of the element than small ones.

In his recent study，speakers tried to express their meanings using unclear sentences. Speakers wh

39、o thought listeners understood were wrong nearly half the time. Here's some good advice to reduce misunderstanding：（1）Don't trust what you see from the listener. Listeners often nod，look at you or say"uhhuh"to be polite or move the conversation along. But it's easy to consider

40、these as signs of understanding.（2）Train the editor（编辑）in your head. If you say，"Beth discusses her problems with her husband，"it's not clear whether she's talking to her husband or about him. Try instead，"Beth talks to her husband about her problems."or"Beth talks t

41、o others about the problems with her husband."（3）Ask listeners to repeat your message. Introduce your request by saying"I want to be sure I said that right."Questions like"How does that sound"or"Does that make sense"may also work.（4）Listen well. When on the receivi

47、 be a funeral（殡葬）director."I thought that the crossing over could be a beautiful thing and a time of comfort when people could reach out to each other."Tradition（传统）is always attractive and interesting to Jolie，who moved with her mother，Marcheline Bertand，and brother after her parents sepa
