The other side follows theirs. In an actual debate there is often a discussion after both sides have presented their views.Speakers in a debate will represent opposite views on the subject being discussed. While reading or listening to a debate, remember that each speakers speech is meant to convince you. If the speakers are good, you will find yourself agreeing with both of them. Just keep in mind that you should not make a final decision until you have read or listened to both sides and understood all of the arguments made by each side.2020年安徽卷E篇George Prochnik would like the world to put a sock in it. He makes his case in a new book, Listening for Meaning in a World of Noise. Here he explains himself (using his indoor voice):“Weve become so accustomed to noise, theres about almost a deep prejudice against the idea that silence might be beneficial. If you tell someone to be quiet, you sound like an old man. But its never been more important to find continuing quiet. Silence focuses us, improves our health, and is a key to lasting peace and satisfaction.”“We need to excite people about the sounds you start to hear if you merely quiet things down a little. During a Japanese tea ceremony, the smallest sounds becomes a kind of artthe spoons making a light ringing sound on a bowl, the edges of a kimono（和服）brushing against the floor.”“Deaf people are very attentive（专注的）in almost every aspect of life. If two deaf people are walking together, using sign language, they constantly watch out for each other and protect each other by paying steady attention to the other. They are connected yet also fully aware of their surroundings. Even deaf teenagers! We in the hearing world can learn from them. If we remove the powerful blasts（一阵阵）of noise, we become aware of an extraordinarily rich world around usof little soft sounds and the sound of footsteps, of bird songs and ice cracking (开裂声). Its astonishing how beautiful things sound when you can really listen.”文章介绍了George Prochnik的新著Listening for Meaning in a World of Noise 和他的观点：在喧嚣的世界中创造一方不太纷扰的环境，这个世界会更美好。A) 72.

To those who do not recognize their unique worth, imitation appears attractive. To those who know their strength, imitation is unacceptable.In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful. When I first learned to cook, I used recipes (菜谱) and turned out some tasty dishes. But soon I grew bored. Why follow someone elses way of cooking when I could create my own? Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a childs bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them.In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意识地) hold poor role models. If, as a child, you observed people whose lives w
