A
English can be a difficult language to learn, but there are certain things you can do to learn the language a lot faster. Here we will show you how to quickly learn to speak English.
Start by taking a class that teaches English for beginners. These classes are commonly referred to as “ESL”classes, or “English as a Second Language”. The teachers of these classes have the experience to teach a variety of students.
Buy an English audio or DVD course. You can review these classes in your spare time and learn quite a bit. However, if you are serious about wanting to learn English faster, then you will want to review the course at every opportunity you have. Buy an audio course and listen to it in the car or while walking, if possible. The higher the quality of the course is, the faster you'll learn.
Practice speaking English with native English speakers. Make friends with people who do not speak your native language and are willing to help you learn English by having simple conversations with you. You will be surprised at how quickly you can start having entire conversations in English.
Watch television shows or movies that are in English and with no subtitles (字幕) in your native language. Pay attention to the dialogue and try to figure out what the actors are saying. Congratulate yourself when you are able to pick out certain words and phrases that you understand.
Read newspapers, books and magazines that are printed in English. At first they won't make much sense, but as your knowledge grows, so will your understanding of written English. Understanding written English will surely help you in learning to speak the language much faster.

(江西高考)Many people think that listening is a passive business.It is just the opposite.Listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work.It is because they do not realize this, or because they are not willing to do the work, that most people do not listen well.
Listening well also requires total concentration upon someone else.An essential part of listening well is the rule known as “bracketing”．Bracketing includes the temporary giving up or setting aside of your own prejudices and desires, to experience as far as possible someone else's world from the inside, stepping_into_his_or_her_shoes.Moreover, since listening well involves bracketing, it also involves a temporary acceptance of the other person.Sensing this acceptance, the speaker will seem quite willing to open up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener.True communication is under way. The energy required for listening well is so great that it can be accomplished only by the will to extend oneself for mutual growth.
Most of the time we lack this energy.Even though we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well, what we are usually doing is listening selectively.Often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder, as we listen, how we can achieve certain desired results to get the conversation over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us.Many of us are far more interested in talking than in listening, or we simply refuse to listen to what we don't want to hear.
It wasn't until toward the end of my doctor career that I have found the knowledge that one is being truly listened to is frequently therapeutic (有疗效的). In about a quarter of the patients I saw, surprising improvement was shown during the first few months of the psychotherapy (心理疗法), before any of the roots of problems had been uncovered or explained.There are several reasons for this phenomenon, but chief among them, I believe, was the patient's sense that he or she was being truly listened to, often for the first time in years, and for some, perhaps for the first time ever. 语篇解读：本文主要讲的是认真倾听别人的好处，如何认真倾听别人及认真倾听对病人的好处。 29．The phrase “stepping into his or her shoes” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________. A．preparing a topic list first B．focusing on one's own mind
C．directing the talk to the desired results D．experiencing the speaker's inside world
解析：选D 词义猜测题。从上文中的“to experience as far as possible someone else's world from the inside”可知，画线部分指的是要理解说话者的内心世界。所以选D项。
30．What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2?
