The owner of a printing business was delighted when another pany wanted to buy one of his used printing machines. After careful calculations, he fixed a price of 2.5 million and formulated his arguments. When he sat down to negotiate, however, an inner voice told him, "Wait." The buyers quickly filled the silence with a rundown of the machines strengths and weakness. The seller said nothing. Then the buyers said, "Well give you 3.5 million, but not a penny more." Less than an hour later, the deal was made. Opportunities to improve a situation by "zipping your lip" e up all the time in everyday dealings with others. Sometimes the benefits of keeping your mouth shut may be that you wont he to eat your words. Take my friend Ben. Like many of us when we are unsure of ourselves or trying to be polite, Ben sometimes blurts out things that e back to haunt him. The first time he was invited to dinner by his brothers new wife, she served to tomato aspic. Ben hated the stuff but wanted to pliment her. So he red, "The aspic is great!" She was so flattered that she remembered and served it to him every time he visited for the next 15 years! Sometimes an unthinking remark, no matter how innocently made, can he more serious consequences. Harold and his wife once ran into neighbors in their apartment building late at night. Startled, he tried to be friendly and said, "I hear congratulations are in order." There was an awkward silence. Later Harolds wife reminded him that the women had recently miscarried. "Nowadays," Harold says, "if Im momentarily thrown, I count to ten before I say anything." Not only is there wisdom is knowing when to keep your mouth shut; there are practical advantages as well. Lawyers tell a story about a man accused of biting off another fellows ear in a brawl. A defense attorney spent the morning challenging the prosecutions main witness. He thought he had destroyed the mans story but couldnt resist final verbal blow. "Youve admitted that you were not very close to the scene of the alleged crime and that you didnt see my client bite off the ear. How can you possibly testify against him?" the defense attorney demanded. The witness paused, then smiled and said, "I saw him spit it out." In the past, psychologists used to day that we should "talk things out" with others. But, increasingly, I find that getting along with another human being sometimes demands tolerance and silence. Adele Faber, co-author of How to Talk So Kids Will Listen and Listen So Kids Will Talk, tells how silence conquered the nightly battle over bedtime between a mother and her eight-year-old son, Jonathan. One night Jonathan came downstairs as usual after being tucked into bed. "Mom, I cant sleep!" he said. "Oh, you cant sleep. Hmmm," his mother replied. She stopped, looked at him with passion and waited. A full minute passed without a word. At last Jonathan spoke. "I think Ill put on my forite pajamas." he said. "Then Ill sleep better." And off he went to bed. Its not always easy to let those you love experience pain, frustration or anger. You want to relieve their problems instead of letting them find their own solutions. Jonathan, Fabers teenage daughter, came home one day looking distressed. Faber said, "Jonathan, something happened," and her daughter burst into tears. "We sat on the sofa, and I held her while she sobbed," recalls Faber. "Ten minutes later she took a deep breath, looked at me and sighed. "Thanks, Mom," she said. Then she got up and left." Faber never did find out what was wrong. A long, attentive, loving embrace was what Jonathan wanted most. Then she would solve her problem on her own. "Your silence support can provide the soil in which the other persons solutions begin to grow," says Faber. "Silence is not withdrawal. Silence es out of respect. It says, "I am here for you, but Im not going to get in the way." Like a poser who knows that the space between the notes is as important as the notes themselves, each of us must realize that our silences can be as expressive as the words we choose. The result is greater harmony and effectiveness.

The life of the people in poverty forms a vicious circle. C. The poor he a silent rage against society. D. Words he power. Now go through TEXT J quickly to answer question 58. In 1986, my first teaching experience took me to a small Catholic school in a poor section of North Philadelphia. There, poverty surrounded people like a hey smog. Tragedy, sickness, illiteracy, and bad luck were as prevalent and tangible to my students as the empty beer cans that cluttered their streets. Accustomed to their dismal environment, my students nonchalantly kicked away bad days and beer cans. They brushed off daily injustices. Tyrone was different. Like the others, it was obvious he from a home laced with poverty. He often came to school wearing the same clothes every day of the week. But, unlike the others, his destitute life filled him with hate. In his mind, he was destined to spend eternity in an employment line like his father, and he didnt like it. It filled him with a silent rage. As a new English teacher full of energy and hope, I promised Tyrone that reading and writing could transport him to a different "world". It was obvious he didnt like the one he was in. I offered him a variety of worlds through reading. He was skeptical at first, but he trusted me. I presented with a cornucopia of literary classics. After a small taste, he politely let me know that they were dull and he wasnt interested. I was crushed. But I didnt give up hope. I figured maybe he didnt like my literary choices because they werent relevant to his life experiences. Anxious to instill in him my love of literature, I went back to the drawing board. From my own personal library, I grabbed entire collections of books by James Baldwin, and Paul Laurence Dunbar. Reluctantly, Tyrone read them, and raised one eyebrow. "These books area little better," he said. "But books arent for me because they arent about real times. None of

this literature stuff is for me. You dont know how I live. You dont know what its like." Fed up, I said, "Well, why dont you tell me! If you think you face more injustices than what these men he experienced, write about them. Tell the world your feelings. Let it out. I wasnt sure what I was doing. It was one of those teaching moments that I could never tell my principle. It was one of those moments that you never face as a student teacher. I was determined to get this troubled teen to love reading and writing. After that day, Tyrone was absent a week. When he returned, he sat silently in class as usual. After class, he lingered at his desk for a while, then he approached me. I asked how he was doing. Erupting in a smile, he dropped a handful of tattered papers on my desk. I picked them up and read them. I was thrilled with the effort —— but shocked at the content. Tyrones collection of essays and poems illustrated the anguish and turmoil he had experienced in just 12 short years. His poems and essays were laced with risqué images and sassy similes. No matter. His work was as honest as a newborn and as solemn as death. Anxious to show the world his talent, Tyrone wanted to publish his creative works. Tyrone and I decided to submit his writing to various magazines, some of which published his work. Ten years passed. Tyrones an adult now. He enjoys reading and makes his living as a writer. From my work with Tyrone, I learned a lesson thats stuck with me since: Young people write words loud enough to move mountains, part seas, and change worlds. Im still not sure if the world is ready.

58. What did the writer learn form her first teaching experience?

A) Every child has great potentials, but dismal environment may hinder them.

B) The life of the people in poverty forms a vicious circle.

C) The poor he a silent rage against society.

D) Words he power.

I Want a Wife I belong to that classification of people known as wives. I am A Wife, and, not altogether incidentally, I am a mother. Not too long ago a male friend of mine appeared on the scene fresh from a recent divorce. He had one child, who is, of course, with his ex-wife. He is obviously looking for another wife. As I thought about him while I was ironing one evening, it suddenly occurred to me that I, too, would like to he a wife. Why do I want a wife? I would like to go back to school so that I can bee economically independent, support myself, and, if need be, support those dependent upon me. I want a wife who will work and send me to school. And to keep track of mine, too. I want a wife to make sure my children are properly and are kept clean. I want a wife who will wash the childrens clothes and keep them mended. I want a wife who is a good nurturing attendant to my children, who arranges for their schooling, makes sure that they he an adequate social life with their peers, takes them to the park, the zoo, etc. I want a wife who takes care of the children when they are sick, a wife who arranges to be around when the children need special care, because, of course, I can not miss classes at school. My wife must arrange to lose time at work and not lost the job. It may mean a small cut in my wifes ine from time to time, I guess I can tolerate that. Needless to say, my wife will arrange and pay for the care of the children while my wife is working. I want a wife who will take care of my physical needs. I want a wife who will keep my house clean. A wife who will pick up after me. I want a wife who will keep my clothes clean, ironed, mended, replaced when need be, and who will see to it that my personal things are kept in their proper place so that I can find that I need the minute I need it. I want a wife who cooks the meals, a wife who is a good cook. I want a wife who will plan the menus, do the necessary grocery shopping while I do my studying. I want a wife who will care for me when I am sick and sympathize with my pain and loss of time from school. I want a wife to go along when our family takes a vacation so that someone can continue to care for me and my children when I needed a rest and change of scene. I want a wife who will not bother me with rambling plaints about a wifes duties. But I want a wife who will listen to me when I feel the need to explain a rather difficult point I he e across in my course of studies. And I want a wife who will type my papers for me when I he written them. I want a wife who will take care of the details of my social life. When my wife and I are invited out by my friends, I want a wife who will take care of the babysitting arrangements. When I meet people at school that I like and want to entertain, I want a wife who will he the house clean, will prepare a special meal, serve it to me and my friends. I want a wife who will he arranged that the children are fed and ready for bed before my guests arrive so that the children do not bother us. I want a wife who takes care of the needs of my guests so that they feel fortable, who makes sure that they he an ashtray, that they are passed the horsed oeuvres, that they are offered a second helping of the food, that their wine glasses are replenished when necessary, that their coffee is served to them as they like it. And I want a wife who knows that sometimes I need a night out by myself. I want a wife who is sensitive to my sexual needs, a wife who makes love passionately and eagerly when I feel like it, a wife who makes sure that I am satisfied. And, of course, I want a wife who will not demand sexual attention when I am not in the mood for it. I want a wife who assumes the plete responsibility for birth control, because I do not want more children. I want a wife who will remain sexually faithful to me so that I do not he to clutter up my intellectual life with jealousies. And I want a wife who understands that my sexual needs may entail more than strict adherence to monogamy. I must, after all, be able to relate to people as fully as possible. If, by chance, I find another person more suitable as a wife than the wife I already he. I want the liberty to replace my present wife with another one. Naturally, I will expect a fresh, new life; my wife will take the children and be solely responsible for them so that I am left free. When I am through with school and he a job, I want a wife to quit working and remain at home so that my wife can more fully and pletely take care of a wifes duties. My God, who wouldnt want a wife?
