Silent Listening
If something bad just happened (happen) to your friend, what would you do? Would you mention it to him and say you feel sorry about it? Would you offer support or advice? According to Ruth Clark, such 41 (treat) could mean well, but it might not be what he 42 (real) wants or needs.
Clark asked some college students to imagine some 43 (pleasant) situations, e.g., a low exam grade or the dad’s 44 (lose) of his job.The students were then 45 (ask) how they would like to be treated by a friend who learned of the bad situation from someone else.The results were a little 46 (surprise).Some said they would want and expect their friend to mention the 47 (annoy) situation, but most of the students in the study 48 (respond) that they would like the friend not to do it.The students made the 49 (decide) for themselves whether to discuss their problem with a friend.So, there is value in being a silent 50 (listen) around a troubled friend.

Myth 1:The aim of interviewing is to obtain a job offer.Only half true.The real aim of an interview is to obtain the job you want.That often means rejecting job offers you don,t want! So, before you do back-flips for an employer be sure you want the job.
Myth 2:Always please the interviewer.
Not true.Try to please yourself.Giving answers that you think will suit a potential employer and practicing a policy of appeasement (讨好)are certain to get you nowhere.An effective interview (where you are offered the job or not) is like an exciting encounter in conversation with your seatmate on an airplane.
Myth 3 :Never interrupt the interviewer.
An exciting conversation always makes us feel free—free to interrupt, to disagree, to agree enthusiastically.So, when interviewing, try to be yourself.Employers will either like or dislike you, but at least you'll have made an impression.Leaving an employer indifferent is the worst impression you
can make.And the way to make an effective impression is to feel free to be yourself!

Dr Steven Brown, from McMaster University in Canada, said, "It looks like when you are acting, you are suppressing (压制) yourself; almost like the character is possessing you." Brown and colleagues report how 15 actors, mainly theatre students, were trained to take on a Shakespeare role — either Romeo or Juliet — in a theatre workshop. They were then invited into the laboratory, where their brains were scanned in a series of experiments. Once inside the MRI scanner, the actors were asked to answer a number of questions, such as: would they go to the party? And would they tell their parents that they had fallen in love? Each actor was asked to respond to different questions, based on two different premises (前提). In one, they were asked for their own perspective, while in the other, they were asked to respond as though they were either Romeo or Juliet.
The results revealed that the brain activity differed depending on the situation being tested. The team found that when the actors were in character, they use some third-person knowledge or inferences about their character. The team said they also found additional reduction in activity in two regions of the prefrontal cortex (前额皮质) linked to the sense of self, compared with when the actors were responding as themselves.
However, Philip Davis, a professor at the University of Liverpool, was unimpressed by the research, saying acting is about far more than "pretending" to be someone — it involves embodying (体现) the text and language.
