Active listening is a structured form of listening and responding that focuses the attention on the speaker.The listener should listen to the speaker fully,and then repeat in the listener's own words what he or she thinks the speaker has said.1.However,he or she must simply state what he or she thinks the speaker said.This enables the speaker to find out whether the listener really understood.If the listener did not,the speaker would explain some more.
2.Thus,instead of just repeating what happened,the active listener might add that the speaker felt angry or confused when a particular event happened.Then the speaker can go beyond confirming that the listener understood what happened.It can also indicate that the listener understood the speaker's psychological response to it.
Active listening has several benefits.3.Second,it avoids misunderstandings,as people have to confirm that they really understand what another person has said.4.When people are in conflict,they often contradict each other, denying each other's description of a situation.5.However,if they feel that the listener is listening to their concerns they are likely to explain in detail what they feel and why.if both parties in a conflict do this,the chances of being able to develop a solution to their mutual problem become much greater.
A.The listener does not have to agree with the speaker.
B.For example,it forces people to listen attentively to others.
C.What's more,it tends to open people up,to get them to say more.
D.Often when people talk to each other,they don't listen attentively.
E.Often,the listener needs to interpret the speaker's words in terms of feelings
F.They realize that they should focus on how they can respond to win the argument
G.This makes people defensive,and they will either make verbal attacks,or say nothing more.
In many American military actions,American soldiers always served with honor,especially black Americans. Even though black men almost had to beg to be allowed to serve in the Revolutionary War,they went on to serve well.Two back men,Oliver Cromwell and Prince Whipple,were with Washington when he crossed the Delaware on Christmas Day,1776,to attack the British at Trenton.A black man named Estabrook captured the Royal Army’s general Prescott Newport, and Peter Salem,a black,killed Major Pitcairn as he was savoring his expected victory at Bunker Hill.
Even though they were forced to serve in separated units,black soldiers distinguished themselves in battle.This was despite the fact that whites had long believed that blacks could neither command nor use firearms.In 1863, William Came of the Massachusetts Colored Infantry(步兵)received the Congressional Medal of Honor for his role in battles with the Plains Indians.Isaiah Dorman, Coster’s back scout (侦查员), served and died at the Little Big Horn in 1876.
In world war I,4 00,000 black American soldiers served with the French command.Neither U.S.nor British commanders would use these men.But Henry Johnson and Needham Roberts,soldiers in the 369th Infantry black" Hell fighters" were still the first Americans to win the Croix de Guerre,France's top military award.
During world war Ⅱover 600,000 black men and women served in the armed forces,including some 400,000 who served overseas.Dorie Miller,a black mess attendant in navy.was one of our first heroes in this war.At Pearl Harbor during the Japanese attack,be manned a machine gun and shot down four planes.The back fighter pilots of Benjamin Davis,Jr.distinguished themselves throughout the war.They served most courageously during the Italian campaign.During the war in Vietnam,mainly because of civil rights pressures in America but also owing to the fine record of black military units,all American forces cooperated well.Once again blacks played vital roles.And 13.2 percent of all war deaths were of blacks,even though blacks constitute only11percent of all Americans.Black American soldiers continue to serve their land well,though the fact is often omitted in history books.

For a long time in history,numerous scholars have asked the question:what is beauty?As designers update the latest fashions and artists create their masterpieces,what is considered beautiful changes at an alarming pace.Fifty years ago,the full-figured American actress Marilyn Monroe was a symbol of the American aesthetic（美学的）value; today,many Hollywood actresses different in appearance from Marilyn’s have taken her taken per place.However, aesthetic values not only differ from generation to generation,but do so along cultural lines as well.Often,what is considered hating one civilization is just the aesthetic appeal in another.Thus it is difficult to give an absolute definition of beauty.
As fundamental physicists,my colleagues and I like to believe that we are involved in a search for a beauty that affects definition.The beauty that we search for is not what is set up through the work of people and subject to the tastes,but rather what has been laid down by nature Physics allows its students to look past outer appearance,into a deeper beauty.As a human being,I am attracted by the visual appeal of a wave crashing on the beach.As a physicist, however I am able to see the deeper beauty of the physical laws that govern such a phenomenon.
In truth,since Albert Einstein put forward the idea that there might be one main physical theory that governs the universe,aesthetics,have become a driving force in modern physics.Einstein and other later physicists have discovered that:Nature,as its most fundamental level,is beautifully constructed.The extraordinary simplicity of the laws that govern the universes is really breathtaking.As Einstein said, it would seem more likely that we should find ourselves living in a "disorderly world,in no way apprehensible through thinking".Yet we are now closer than ever to a full understanding of the universe's beautiful clockwork.As new discoveries and technologies allow us to examine the physical world on deeper and deeper levels, we find that the beauty itself becomes much deeper.

A. To detail the functions of physical laws.
B. To highlight the range of Einstein's influence.
C. To stress the very simplicity of the laws of the universe
D. To show that Einstein doubted the beauty of physics.
4.the passage is mainly to .
A. emphasize the influence of physics
B. present a special way of seeing beauty
C. discuss the awareness of across-culture
