26、On a hill 600 feet above the surrounding land, we watch the lines of rain move across the scene, the moon rise over the hills, and the stars appear in the sky. The views invite a long look from a comfortable chair in front of the wooden house.

Every window in our wooden house has a view, and the forest and lakes seldom look the same as the hour before. Each look reminds us where we are.

There is space for our three boys to play outside, to shoot arrows, collect tree seeds, build earth houses and climb trees.

Our kids have learned the names of the trees, and with the names have come familiarity and appreciation. As they tell all who show even a passing interest, maple（枫树）makes the best fighting sticks and white pines are the best climbing trees.

The air is clean and fresh. The water from the well has a pleasant taste, and it is perhaps the healthiest water our kids will ever drink. Though they have one glass a day of juice and the rest is water, they never say anything against that.

The seasons change just outside the door. We watch the maples turn every shade of yellow and red in the fall and note the poplars’（杨树）putting out the first green leaves of spring. The rainbow smelt fills the local steam as the ice gradually disappears, and the wood frogs start to sing in pools after being frozen for the winter. A family of birds rules our skies and flies over the lake.

【1】What can be learned from Paragraph 2?

A．The scenes are colorful and changeable.

B．There are many windows in the wooden house.

27、   You're enjoying a quiet evening at home when suddenly your neighbor's dog starts barking(吠叫) and doesn't stop. Sure, dogs need to bark every now and then, but if the barking is getting in the way of your daily life, you need to do something。

Before you take action, make records of when the dog is disturbing, "says expert Sharon Schweitzer. Record the dates and times when the barking appears to find out the features of the barking. "Check them carefully and get your facts straight, "says Schweitzer. You might notice the barking only happens when the owners are at work, or during thunderstorms。

After two to three weeks, visit your neighbors with the facts. "Since you're trying to keep a good relationship, you can’t go when you’re angry and frustrated, "says Schweitzer. Plus, your neighbors might not even realize the barking is a problem, for the worst noise may happen when they 're gone.

Explain the times when the barking gets bad, then suggest a way to solve the problem. "You can sit and complain all day, but that will go nowhere, "says Schweitzer. Ask if the dog can stay inside during storm, or suggest a dog training class. Be open to compromise(妥协) because the owners might have other ideas about how to deal with the noise。

Befriending the dog could help. Have your neighbors introduce you to their dog. "If they become more comfortable in your presence, they’re less likely to bark when they see you or when they’re in the backyard, "says Schweitzer. You might even be able to use commands such as 'quiet' once the dog trusts you.

Avoid gossiping with other neighbors about the dog. "That's when things escalate. " After all,most people will want to solve the problem.

【1】What can you do first when your neighbor 's dogs barking influences your life?

A.Bring the dog to a training class.

B.Show your to your neighborhood

C.Drive it out of your neighborhood.

D.Record the dates and times of the barking

【2】Why are your neighbors less likely to realize the barking problem?

A.They may like dogs barking.

B.They all think their dogs are friendly.

C.They have been used to the barking of the dogs.

D.They may be out when the worst barking happens.

【3】What does the underlined word "escalate " in the last paragraph probably mean?

A.Become better. B.Become worse.

C.Remain unchanged. D.Become more personal.

【4】What can be inferred from the text?

A.Love me, love my dog. B.Barking dogs seldom bite.

C.Good communication is a must. D.Treat violence with violence（暴力）.

28、How to Give Feedback that People Will Listen to

If we want to grow as people, we can’t just rely on our own evaluation of how we’re doing. 【1】 Receiving feedback from peers can help us see the bigger picture and show us a path forward to success. However, someone has to give that feedback, and sometimes, that someone will be you. How should you approach this?

First, if you spot a situation in which some feedback would be helpful, give it as soon as you can. If you wait until the matter fades from the person’s mind, they might not understand what you’re trying to tell them. 【2】

When you’re giving feedback, it’s important to keep in mind that no one likes to be told they’re doing a bad job. 【3】 Like the saying goes, “A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.”

All good feedback shares a few key elements. First, it should help accomplish a specific goal. It’s less useful to tell your friend that their dish tastes “interesting” than it is to suggest adding a little salt to improve the flavor. Feedback should also look toward the future. 【4】 Tell your friend they should take more notes in class instead of talking about how they should have studied harder for the big biology exam they failed.

【5】 If someone said that you were boring in your speech, would you know how to fix it? Being told you should add a funny story at the end is a lot easier to put into practice.

Finally, don’t assume your suggestion is the only correct way to deal with a situation. Consider other points of view and keep your ego (自我) under control. You might even end up with some feedback on your feedback. Don’t take it personally—it can only help you give better advice next time!

A．It is also important to let others know their mistakes.

B．Feedback should be clear and well timed, or it’s likely to be ignored.

C．We also need to know what other people think about our performance.

D．This can help you be successful in your role and clear the way for future.

E．You can’t change what’s happened, but you can prevent it from happening again.

F．To make your feedback more useful, it should focus on the action, not the person.

G．Make sure you give an equal amount of positive feedback to balance out anything negative.
