Passage Five
Have you ever argued with your loved ones over simple misunderstandings(误解)？Little wonder. We often believe we’re more skillful in getting our point across than we actually are，according to Boza Keysar，a professor at the University of Chicago. In his recent study，speakers tried to express their meanings using unclear sentences. Speakers who 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\polite or move the conversation along. But it’s easy to consider these as signs of understanding. (2)Train the editor(编辑)in your head. If you say，\，\’s not clear whether she’s talking to her husband or about him. Try instead，\husband about her problems.\
(3)Ask listeners to repeat your message. Introduce your request by saying\that right.\？\？\(4)Listen well. When on the receiving end，ask questions to be sure you’re on the same page. After all，it isn’t just the speaker’s job to make his speech understood. （ ）52. Why does the writer give us the advice？

Where to live —in the City or in the Country
Some people like living in the city because city life has many advantages. They think there are more job opportunities in cities.Life there is more colorful and meaningful than that in the country.And there are more modern conveniences in cities for people to enjoy. But some other people prefer to live in the countryside. They say life in the countryside is closer to nature and better for their health.Life there is quieter and that country people are more honest than city people. I would like to live in a city when I am young to earn enough money and I live in the countryside when I am old for having a quiet life.
