Listening is one of the first things we learn to do and one of the things we do most. The average person spends 9% of their daily communication time writing, 16% reading, 30% speaking, and 40% listening. Students spend most of their school time listening, up to 60% according to some studies. Yet despite its importance, we usually take our ability to listen for granted. As we have already said, though, listening isn’t easy. The fact is we have different listening styles for different occasions. How successful we are as listeners may depend in part on choosing the right listening style for the situation. Perhaps the most basic listening style is appreciative listening. We listen appreciatively when we enjoy music, a birds’ song or the murmur of a book. We need a different style, one called discriminative listening. When we want to single out one particular sound from a noisy environment, you discriminate, for example, when you listen for a friend’s voice in a crowded room. We use a third style of listening: comprehensive listening, when we want to understand. When we listen to directions or instructions, we are using this style. The fourth learning style is more complex, therapeutic listening. The style practice by counselors, psychiatrists, and good friends encourages people to talk freely without fear of embarrassment. Friends act as our sounding boards, when we just want someone to listen. The therapeutic listener in conversation with a troubled friend accepts what he said, tries hard to understand, and above all makes no judgment. The fifth style, critical listening, is the one we will examine most closely. Critical listeners are the most active of all listeners, because they are working hard to decide whether what someone else says makes sense. Critical listeners evaluate what they hear and decide if another person’s message is logical, worthwhile or has value. We need to be critical listeners, when someone wants us to buy some things, vote a certain way, or support a particular idea. We also need to be critical listeners in school, where listening and thinking are almost identical.
23. What is the percentage of daily communication time an average person spends on listening?
24. What is the most basic listening style?
25. What does a critical listener often do?

选项 A、He listens appreciatively when he enjoys music and news.
B、He singles out one particular sound from a noisy environment.
C、He decides whether what someone else says makes sense.
D、He does not judge if another person’s message is illogical.

答案 C

解析 讲座最后聊到“批判性的听”的具体含义一一“这是最积极的听,会去努力获知对方讲得是合乎逻辑,是否有价值,是否有意义”。因此C项“会去判断对方讲得是否合理”为正确答案。A项“他用欣赏性的方式听音乐和新闻”指的是“欣赏性的听”。B项“他能从喧闹的环境中辨别某个特定的声音”是指“分辨性的听”。D项“他不判断另一个人的信息是否合乎逻辑”与讲座提供的信息恰好相反。
