16、ep waters of the ocean.All of these animals share the Earth with us. They fascinate us with their beauty, their grace, and their speed. We love observing their behavior, and learning more about their habits. But just loving them is not enough. All of these animals are endangered. Many of them have d

17、ied, and without special care, they may someday disappear from the Earth.Why is it important to care for animals like these? One reason is to protect the balance of life on Earth. Another reason is the beauty of the animals themselves. Each species of animal is special. Once it is gone, it is gone f

18、orever.Africa was once filled with an abundance of wild animals. But that is changing fast. One of these animals, the black rhinoceros, lives on the plains of Africa. It has very poor eyesight and a very bad temper! Even though the black rhino is powerful, and can be dangerous, its strength cant alw

19、ays help it to escape hunters. Some people think that the rhinos horn has magical powers, and many hunters kill rhinos for their valuable horns. This has caused the black rhino to be placed on the endangered species list.The elephant seems to represent all that is strong and wild in Africa. It once

20、had no natural enemies, but is now endangeredkilled for its ivory tusks.The fastest land animal, the cheetah (猎豹), also lives in Africa.

On the receiving end, however, are listeners. Some of them focus intent

25、ly on the speaker, while others daydream or whisper to a neighbor. What distinguishes these two kinds of listeners? Broadly speaking, effective listeners have discovered the benefits of paying close attention and remain focused to avoid distractions. Not having experienced the rewards of paying clos

26、e attention, ineffective listeners continue to wonder why they cant remember what they heard or why they do poorly on tests.How do effective listeners manage to pay close attention? First of all, they avoid letting poor circumstances, like an uncomfortable seat, a personal problem, or the speakers p

27、eculiar manners, distract them. Instead, they tune out anything that will keep them from understanding and remembering what they hear. After leaving a lecture or meeting, effective listeners remember what was said, not the room conditions or the poor delivery of the speaker. On the other hand, ineff

28、ective listeners who think they are paying attention to the message can be easily sidetracked (转移目标), either by those same distractions or by what might seem to be the slow pace of the speaker.In order to resist potential internal and external distractions, effective listeners become actively but ob

29、jectively engaged in the message itself. They do not prejudge the speaker as representing a viewpoint contrary to their own, nor do they prejudge the material as boring, too easy, or too difficult. Effective listeners accept the challenge of new ideas, even those that conflict with theirs, and becom

30、e actively involved in the speakers message. Effective listeners jot down important words and phrases as a reminder of difficult ideas and perhaps indicate the relationship of those ideas to each other.Ineffective listeners reject abstract or controversial material; they may pretend to listen but da

31、ydream or doodle (乱画乱写) instead to avoid hearing what they dont agree with or readily understand. Moreover, rather than attending to meaning itself, ineffective but well-intentioned listeners might be so involved in taking copious (丰富的) notes that they miss the speakers main idea. These listeners leave a speech or a class with a notebook full of words that are not connected by any conceptual framework and therefore mean little when referred to later for a test or other purposes.Clearly, a c
