In order to have a better understanding, to anticipate what is coming is very important. An effective listener should continuously develop more or less specific read
26、iness for what will come next. If a listener hears what he has expected, it will be much easier for him to receive the information. But if what he hears is totally out of his expectation, he will fail to get the message.The skill to anticipate what is coming in listening comprehension depends largel
27、y on the listeners familiarity with the theme(主题)of the message. It also depends on the listener s knowledge of the speaker as well as the situation.Obviously, when we listen to something that we already have some information about, it is generally much easier for us to take in the new information.
28、Therefore, pre-listening preparation seems to play an important role in increasing our comprehension. Before actual listening, we could perhaps first give some thought to the topic, discuss it with others, and then read some related material and do some vocabulary work. If we could make ourselves fu
29、lly prepared for the coming talks or lectures, we are more likely to become effective listeners.Of course, readiness beforehand is not at all enough. Active thinking must take place all the way through. In fact, we should always try to think ahead of the speaker.41 The passage is most possibly taken

32、do before actual listening may be_.（A）do some vocabulary work（B） think about the topic（C） read some related material（D）discuss the topic with others45 What is the author s attitude towards anticipating in listening comprehension?（A）Neutral.（B） Positive.（C） Negative.（D）Critical.45 When men get sick,
33、they act like babies, say women. But maybe the fairer sex should learn something useful from these guysit could save their lives, say researchers at the University of Michigan.When women have a heart attack, they re more likely to put off seeking help than the men, and after an attack, they re less
34、likely to take steps to improve their health. What s the reason for the different responses? The result of a survey suggest that women are too tough: they think heart problems are simply not a big deal. When Steven Erickson and his colleagues asked 348 men and 142 women who had been admitted to the
35、hospital for a heart attack about their symptoms and medication(用药情况 ), they found that even though the women had more symptoms and were taking more medicine they rated their disease as being no more severe than the men did.For more on women and heart disease, go to www.americanheart. org.46 The und
