describe the __3__ you want your hair cut－the key to success seems to be the __4__ to speak well.Another obvious advantage of speaking is the chance it provides to __5__ the admiration，respect，or liking of others.__6__ jokes，and everyone will think you're really a wise man.__7__ advice，and they'll be __8__ for your help.Tell them __9__ you know，and they'll be impressed by your wisdom.But keep quiet，and it seems as if you'll look like a worthless nobody.Finally，talking gives you the __10__ to release energy in a way that listening can't.When you're __11__，the chance to talk about your problems can often help you feel better.In the same way，you can often __12__ your anger by letting it out orally.It isalso helpful to __13__ your excitement with others by talking about it，for keeping it inside often __14__ you feeling as if you might burst.While it is true that talking does have many advantages.it's important to __15__ that listening can do good to listeners，too.As you'll soon read，being a good listener is one good way to __16__ others with their problems；and what better way is there __17__ others appreciate you？As for controlling others，it may be true that it's hard to be persuasive while you're listening，but your __18__ to hear others out will often leave them open to thinking about your ideas in return.__19__ is often reciprocal(互惠的)：you get what you

world has a saying that a person can never be too rich.Americans，like people in other countries，always want more money.One way they express this is by protesting(抗议) that their jobs do not pay enough.A common expression is，“I am working for chickenfeed.”It means working for very little money.The expression probably began because seeds fed to chickens made people think of small change.Small change means metal coins of not much value，like a nickel which is worth five cents.An early use of the word chickenfeed appeared in an American publication innineteen thirty.It told of a rich man and his son.Word expert Mitford Mathews says it read，“I'll bet neither the kid nor his father ever saw a nickel or a dime.They would not have been interested in such chickenfeed.”Chickenfeed also has another interesting meaning known to history experts and World War Two spies and soldiers.Spy expert Henry S．A.Becket writes that some German spies working in London during the war also worked for the British.The British government had to make the Germans believe their spies were working.So，British officials gave them mostly false information.It was called chickenfeed.The same person who protests that he is working for chickenfeed may also say，“I am working for peanuts.”He means he is working for a small amount of money.It is a very different meaning from the main one in the dictionary.That meaning is small nuts that grow on a plant.No one knows for sure how a word for something to eat also came to mean something very small.But，a peanut is a very small food.1．The passage is mainly to

enemies.4．According to the passage，chickenfeed means all the following EXCEPT ________.A．chicken's foodB．hard workC．false informationD．small money5．In which part of a website can we probably find this passage?A．Language. B．Agriculture.C．History. D．People.课时作业(五)Ⅰ.1.concerned 2.banned 3.access 4.character 5.pure 6.unique7.barks 8.racial9.raising10.thereforeⅡ.1.A句意：她因吸毒被禁止参加奥运会。
