Where there’s a will,as they say,there’s a way.when I told my best friends,Liz and Chris,about my problem,Liz put me in touch with a local dollmaker who made doll heads,hands and feet of a ceramic that closely resembled the old porcelain ones.From her I commiioned a doll head in the style of three-quarters of a century ago—making sure to specify”big blue eyes that opened and closed,”and hands and feet.from a doll supply house I ordered a long brown wig and a kidskin body,and Meagan and I shopped for fabric,lace and ribbon to duplicate the outfit GG had so lovingly described.Liz volunteered to put the doll together,and as the last days before Christmas raced by,Chris helped me make the doll’s outfit,complete with lacy petticoat.And while Liz,Chris and I searched for doll”boots with real buttons,”Meagan wrote and illustrated the story of the lost doll.
Finally,our creation was finished.To our eyes it was perfect.But,of course,there was no way it could be exactly like the doll GG had loved so much and lost.Would she think it looked anything like it?

One warm and plsasant summer afternoon,I sat on anold blanket under apine tree chatting with mymother.For years,we had been coming to this park for family picnics and gatherings,and my mother and I often sat in this same spot.
In recent years,we usually just talked about life, but sometimes we recalled events from my childhood.Like the time I was thirteen and had my first date,when Mother brought me to this spot under the tree and told me about the facts of life.Or the time a few years later,when my hair turned out pink for my senior prom and she’d held me while I cried.But the most special event that occurred next to this tree was when I told Mother I was getting married.Tears filled her eyes and this time I held her while she cried.She told me she was sad to lose her little girl but happy to see that I had turned into a beautiful young woman.
Over the years,we’d watched the pine trees in this park grow tall and steaight until their needles seemed to match our increasingly close relationship and the deepening love we had for each other.

“No,ma’am,”said the sailor,leaning over and kiing the ancient cheek.”This is my Christmas present to you.”
Straightening up,he came to our table,holding the other flower in front of him.”Sir,”he said to me,”may I have permiion to present this flower to your beautiful daughter?”In one quick motion he gave my wife the flower,wished us a Merry Christmas,and departed.
Everyone had stopped eating.everyone had been watching the sailor.Everyone was silent.A few seconds later,Christmas exploded throughout the restaurant like a bomb.The old flower woman jumped up,waving the twenty-franc note.Hobbling to the middle of the floor she did a lively folk dance and shouted to the piano player,”Joseph,my Christmas present!And you shall have half,so you can have a feast,too.”
Unit7
Misunderstanding often arises from a lack of communication.Curiously enough,in a modern society where not a few advanced technological means of communication such as the mobile
phone and pager have been developed,people are still confronted with this problem.Investigations show that technological inventions do help facilitate human communication.They also show that while there are more opportunities for personal contact,especially through verbal communication,many people still find their listeners do not listen to them.Clearly,something is wrong with their listening ability.
People may wonder why their listening ability is undesirable when their hearing ability is physically sound.This is a basic mistake we often make.Very often hearing is confused with listening,as they are so closely related.Believing that hearing is a physiological function,which comes to us naturally,we take it for granted that listening does not require much effort.Experts in the field of communications are quick to attack this belief.In their view,listening requires hard work and energy.When people are listening,they think,is not as simple as it might seem.

情感或具体的想法。对言语或非言语的信息都要注意。当说话人说完四五句话的 时候，打断说话人，说，\"让我看看我有没有听明白你的话。\"然后，用你自己的 话重复你刚才所听到的信息或感受的情感：\"你刚才说...\", \"你的感觉是...\", \"我 说得对吗？\" 如果说话人说不对，则要求说话人澄清一下你没听明白或听错的部 分。当你们两个都明白后，说话人就可以继续说下面的几句话，回应的过程又重 新开始。记住：说话人和听话人的目的都是为了理解，而不是达成一致。
