听力原文: More often than not, I've been asked by my students this question, how can I improve my listening skills? Let me first cite a very common instance of poor listening at this school. You don't know how it happened. You know you were paying attention when your history class started. But somewhere along the way your eyes glazed over and the teacher's voice became a dull hum in the background of your mind. When you finally shook yourself out of your trends, he was asking you a question, "So what happened at Hastings in the year of 10667" Once again, poor listening has you in hot water.
As listeners, we tend to think that the responsibility for a successful communication lies with the person doing the talking. This attitude causes us to become passive listeners. We tolerate distractions — putting up with the noise in the hall, for instance, instead of getting up to shut the door. And we generally fail to reopen to the speaker's message by asking questions or to remember anything that was said. Effective listeners, on the other hand, play an active role by paying constant attentions, by following the speaker's movement, by taking notes, or by asking questions, passive listeners are the sponges in the communication sea. Active listeners are their sharks.
Good listening is a valuable skill. It is one of the top management skills needed for success in business. Listening is also critical to success in family life and among friends. Good listeners do well in school. They follow directions better and don't waste time wandering what the assignment was. Therefore, becoming an active listener will help you in your relationships with your schoolwork and on the job.

Betty: Yes, I speak Spanish and French.
Baker: And what helped you most in learning those languages?
Betty: What helped me most...Well, I studied both languages in high school, and I'm still studying Spanish here at the university, but I think that travel has probably been the most help to me. You see, I've been lucky in that I've lived in Europe. Believe me, I didn't speak very well before I moved there.
Baker: Hi, Bill, what's your opinion?
Bill: Betty's fight. After studying a language, practice is very useful. When you live in a country where the language is spoken, it's ideal. But, you know, sometimes it's difficult to make friends in a new place, even when the people are very friendly.
Betty: Yes, I know what you mean, Bill. Especially if you don't speak the language too well. I had some problems when I first moved to Europe.
Baker: And, of course, some people are shy.
Betty: That's true.
Bill: Professor Baker, whether or not I'm living in a country where the language is spoken, I always go to the movies, and whenever I can, I watch TV or listen to the radio in the language I'm trying to learn.
Betty: Me, too. And reading is another good way to learn. Books are good, but I think that newspapers and magazines are even better.
Baker: Probably the best way to learn is to combine all of these ideas: traveling, talking with people, going to the movies, watching TV, listening to the radio, and reading books, newspapers and magazines. What do you think?
Betty: I agree, Professor Baker.
Bill: So do I. But I don't believe that it's possible to take advantage of practice opportunities without some knowledge of the language first.
Betty: Sure. First it's a good idea to study grammar, vocabulary...
Bill: ...and listening, perhaps even reading.
Betty: Then practice is very, very helpful.
