Liatening Is A Skill
Effective listening is a learned skill, it doesn't happen automatically for most people. In addition, there are few rewards for listening, but there are punishment for not listening. How do you feel when listeners are not paying attention to you by looking at their watches, doing some activity or not acknowledging what you're said? You probably felt put down or even worse, you felt like you were talking to a wall. Listeners have a lot more power and impact on the talker than most people realize.
In addition, more poeple then to assume listening is basically the same as hearing-a dengerous misconception that leads to believing that effective listening in instinctive. As aresult, supervisors make little effort to develop listening skills and unknowingly niglect a vital communication function. Research shows that average person on the job spends40 percent of his time to listening, 35 percent to talking, 16 percent to reading, and 9 percent to writing.

The Ghost Pilot
Just before midnight on December 12, 1972, Eastern Airlines flight 401 fell out of the sky. The airplane crashed in the Everglades area of florida. Of the 176 on board, 99 died, including the airplane's pilot, Bob Loft, and the flight engineer, Don Repo.
about three months after the crash, a high-ranking executive of Eastern Airlines boarded on aircraft of Miami, Florida. he spotted a man in a pilot's uniform sitting alone in the first class section and went to sit down beside him. The ececutivve struck up a conversation with the captain. after a view minutes, he realized that he was talking to the pilot Bob Loft. Then the pilot faded away.
A week later, Eastern Airlines pilot and two of his crew went into a staf room at John F. Kennedy airport, in New york. They all saw Bob Loft in a chair. He talked to them for a while, then vanished. The men were so shocked that the airline had to cancel their flight.
Three weeks later, a passanger was sitting in the first class section of a flight to Miami. She was worried about the man in a Eastern Airlines uniform sitting next to her. His face was white and he looked ill, so she called the flight attendant.
The flight attendant leaned down to speak to the man but he ignoreed her. Then, as she touched his arm, he slowly faded away, leaving only an empty seat.
When the plan landed in Miami, the passanger was taken to a hospital in a state of shock. Later, when she saw photographs, she identified the ghost as flight engineer as Don Repo.
Over the next few months, more than ten flight attendants claimed to see Don Repo. The ghost seemed to appear more often on some aircraft than on others. Rumors began to spread that he appeared only on plane with replacement part from the crashed Flight 401. It was usual practice for an airline to use undamaged parts from a crashed plan in another plan if they passed strict safety tests.
The stories must have worred the bosses of Eastern Airlines. They orderen their passengers to remove from their plane all equipment from the 401 wreck.
It seemed to work. when all the parts from Flight 401 had been removed, Bob Loft and Don Repo left Eastern Airlines and their aircraft in peace. No one has seen their ghosh since.

Ceel Phones: Hang Up or Keep Talking?
Million of eople are using cell phones today. In many place it is actually considered unusual not to use one. In many countries, cell phones are very popular with young people. They find that the phone sare more than a mean of communication-having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected.
The explosion around the world mobile phone use has some health professional worried. Some doctor are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. In England, the has been a serious debate about the negative publicity of such ideas. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health.
On the other hand, why do same medical studies show changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile phones? Sign of change in the tissues of the brain and head can be ddetected with modern scanning equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at a young age because of serious memory loss. he couldn't remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the mane of his own son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day of his working week, for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer's doctor didn't agree.
What is it that makes mobile phone potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. High Tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say that the amount is too small to worry about.
As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it's best to use mobile phone less often. Use your regular phone if you want to talk a long time. Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. In the future, mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health. So for now, it's wise not to use your mobile phone too often.

The Book of The Future
Will people still read books 100 years from now? A few years ago, many people would have said No. It seemed likely that computers and the internet would replace book. Now, however, most experts think that books are here to stay.
there are a number of reason why computerss won't replace book entirely. One reason is that books on paper are much cheaper than computers. Book don't need a power source ,either. You can read a book for as long as you want and wherever you want. You never have to worry about losing power. Also, many people feel more comfortable reding words in a book than reading words on a computer screen. It's less tiring to the eyes.
Will book in the future be similar to the books you can buy today? The answer to the question is No. In the future, you may only need to buy one book. With this one book, you will be able to read novels, plays, and even today's newspaper. it will look like today's book, but it will be electronic.
One of the people wirking on the book of the future is Professor Joseph Jacobson from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the U.S. Professor Jacobson's book will have a small button on the side. When you press the button, word will instally appear on the page. When you want to read a different story, you can push the button again and a new story will quicly appear.
What is the technology behind Professor Jacobson's book? Two important inventions will make this new kind of book possible: electronic ink and radio paper. Electronic ink or e-ink is a liquid that can be printed on paper, metal, or anything else. E.ink looks and feels like printed words on paper. Unlike regular ink, however, words in e-ink are not permanent. They can be change by pushing a buuton. when you push the button, all of the words on the page go away and new words appear.
The other new development is radio paper. This paper looks and feels like a page in a book. In reality, however, radio paper is made of plastic.
Professor Jacobson calls his book of the future "the las book". This book, he says, will be the last book you will ever need.

How Environment and Behavior Affect a Person's Sleep
Strees is the number one cause of short-term sleeping difficulties, according to sleep experts. Common triggers include school or job related pressures, a family or marriage problem and a serious illness or death in the family. Usually the sleep problem disappears when the stressful situation passes. However, if short-term sleep problems such as insomnia aren't managed properly from the beginning, they can persist long after the original stress has passed.
Drinking alcohol or beverages containing caffeine in the afternoon or evening, exercising close to bedtime, following an irregular morning and nighttime schedule, and working or doing other mentally intense activities right before of after getting into bed can disrupt sleep.
If you are among the 20 percent of employees in the United States who are shift workers, sleep may be particularly ilusive. Shift work force you to try to sleep when activities around you and your own biological rhythms - signal you to be awake. One study shows that shift workers are two to five time more likely than employees with regular, daytime hours to fall a sleep on the job.
Traveling also disrupts sleep, especially jet lag and traveling across several time zones. This can upset your biological or circadian rhythms.
Environmental factors such as a room that's too hot or cold, too noisy or too brightly lit can be a barrier to sound sleep. And interruptions from children or other family members can also disrupt sleep. Other influences to pay attention to are the comfort and size of your bed and the habbits of your sleep, or has other sleep difficulties, it often becomes your problem too.
Having a 24/7 lifestyle can also interupt regular sleep patterms: theglobal economi that includes round the clock industries working to beat the competition; widespread use of nonstop automated system to communicate and an increase in shift work makes for sleeping at regular times difficult.

Importance of Sleep
Sleep is essential for a person's health and wellbeing, according to the national Sleep Foundation (NSF). Yet millions of people do not get enough sleep and many suffer from lack of sleep. For example, surveys conducted by the NSF (1999-2004) reveal that the least 40 million Americans suffer from over 70 different sleep disorders and 60 percent of adult report having sleep problems a few nights a week or more. Most of those with these problems go undiagnosed and intreated. In addition, more than 40 percent of adult experience daytime sleepiness severe enough to interfere with their daily activities at least a few days each month - with 20 percent reporting problem sleepiness a few days a week or more. Furthermore, 69 percent of children experience one or more sleep problems a few nights or more during a week.

Those Winter Sundays
Sundays to my father gor ur early
And put his clothes on in the blueback cold,
Then with cracked hands that ached
From labor in the weekday weather made
Banked fires blaze. No one ever thanked him
I'd wake and hear the cold splintering, breaking.
When the rooms were warm, he'd call,
And slowly I would rise and dress,
Fearing the chronic angersof that house,
Speaking indirerently to him,
Who had driven out the cold
and polished my good shoesas well.
What did I know; what did I know
Of love's austere and lonely offices?

Soondubu Jiggae
Soondubu jiggae is a Korean stew (jiggae) - thicker than a soup but thinner than a porridge. When cooked in the traditional way (in an eartheenware pt - pictured above) all of the cooking is done in just the one dish. This makes it very easy to clean up afterwards - a job we all hate. It satarts witha delicious fish stock and a little beef to depeen the flavor then finished off with fresh shell fish, hot pepper flakes, silken tofu, and eggs which are optional. The best thing about this stew is that you - the cook - can control how hot you want it but limiting the quantity of hot papper flakes. You can have it blisteringly hot or very mild which is particularly handy if you are cooking for children who can't stomach their food too spicy. The small amount of beef is typical of Korean food and illustrated how healthy it is - the meat is used for flavor rather tahn stomach filling. This is a dish everyone should try - it is really on of the nicest ways to introduce someone to tofu which pick up all of the flavor of the stew while adding a soft comforting texture. Eat it with rice and side dishes for a complete meal.
