Most people do not like to be criticized by others. It is good to be honest with yourself. We must admit that we all have both good and bad traits and we must like ourselves as we are. I was born under the sign Virgo and I believe I have some of the characteristics of people born under this sign. One example of a good trait of a Virgo that I have is patience. Sometimes I think I am almost too patient, but I have also found that patience helps me in a lot of things. For example, it helps me to study when the lesson is difficult or boring. Also, if I don't succeed in something, I am willing to try several more times. My patience also helps me to relax and stay calm. I am very patient with people too. I can deal with people who are nervous, angry, and upset and help them to calm down. Sometimes people take advantage of my patience, however, and I don't like that at all.Listening Practice Another example of a trait that I have, which is typical of Virgo, is ambition. I am very ambitious and can't sit in one place for more than ten minutes. If I make up my mind to do something, then I will do anything to meet my goal no matter how long it takes and how much energy and time will be needed to accomplish it. This is what helped me to graduate from high school in three years. I like to be busy all day and have lots of things to do. This makes me happy and satisfied. I hate sitting at home all day doing nothing. Finally, like anyone, Virgos have some bad traits too. This ambition can sometimes make them take on more work than they can handle, leading them to strain themselves to breaking point. Sometimes I take on too much work and then reach a point at which I can do no more. Then I have to rest for a while and regain my strength. Virgos can also be fussy and irritable. I suppose I can be that way too sometimes. For instance, I like everything to be neat and tidy, and if someone comes along and messed things up, I will scold them. nullListening PracticeQuestions《听说教程 IV》 Part 4.3, p. 36null4.

Larry McCaffery, the well-known critic and interviewer from southern Califomia. Dr. McCaffery has consented to give us a little bit of his precious time while he's here in Chicago. He's here in Chicago to find a publisher for his most recent book, Storming the Reality Studios. I have known Dr. McCaffery for many years and have read all of his books and I recommend them highly to everyone in the audience. The current work is a collection of interviews with many of the hottest writers in the post-modem scene today. Larry's unique talent in this area is the fact that he is able to communicate so well with so many of today's popular writers. His present work is especially exciting for the publishing community because it allows the reader to connect with many of the exciting names that they are already familiar with. The theme of the book allows for a diverse group of authors to be interviewed and at the same time, the work remains coherent. After Larry gives his presentation, he will be signing copies of the book at the back of the room. The books he has brought with him today are a special edition with some extra illustrations that will not be included in the final edition so I would recommend a copy to everyone. We will have plenty of time for a question and answer period after we hear from Mr. McCaffery.nullListening PracticeQuestions《听说教程 IV》 Part 4.3, p. 36null7. A) The global warming problem.

Scriptnull For years, it's been assumed that the indoor environment limits the variety of plants that people are exposed to. Lately, however, plants that are usually only grown outdoors have found their way into indoor spaces. There are a few simple reasons why this is. The modem indoor environment can be an ideal setting for a wide variety of outdoor plants. Plants that ordinarily cannot grow in colder outdoor climates can find protection from the indoor spaces, where temperatures are e
