We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people.
Why do we go wrong about our friends? Sometimes people hide their real meanings when they say something. And if we don’t really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “You’re a lucky dog.” That’s being friendly. But “l(fā)ucky dog”? There’s a bit of envy(嫉妒) in those words. Maybe he doesn’t see _it_ himself. But “l(fā)ucky dog” puts you down a little. He may mean you don’t deserve your luck.
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Do his words agree with the tone(語調) of voice? His posture(姿態(tài))? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. If you spend the minute thinking about the real meaning behind one’s words, it may save another mistake.
小題1:According to the passage, the reason why we go wrong about our friends is that ______.
A．we fail to listen carefully when they talk
B．we become angry when we realize what they really mean
C．they sometimes said one thing but meant another
D．we never believe what people say
小題2:What does the underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refer to(指) ?
A．Being friendlyB．A bit of envyC．A lucky dogD．The good luck
小題3:From the passage, how many things should we pay attention to when we take a good look at the person talking?
A．ThreeB．FiveC．SixD．Four
小題4:According to the passage, the writer most probably is a ______.
A．teacherB．psychologist(心理學家)
C．farmerD．doctor
小題5:This passage is about __________.
A．how to tell the real meaning behind our words
B．what to do when you listen to others talking
C．how to avoid(避免) mistakes when communicating with people
D．why we must know the wrong we will do

小題1:C
小題2:B
小題3:D
小題4:B
小題5:C
