And youre thinking “What happened？” You didnt say anything insulting(侮辱的) or mean, you just voiced your opinion. Or so you think.I had lunch the other day with a dear friend. I travel a lot for work, and she used to. I was complaining about the air travel. I said how I would love some day to get into the first class cabin where surely conditions were far better than the economy (经济舱). My friend said “You know what I used to do? Id buy my coach_ticket,_but then, at the last minute, right before boarding started, Id go up to the counter agent and ask if there were any first class seats still available. And often, theyd say yes！and Id only pay an extra $200 instead of $2,000 and get to fly first.” I immediately retorted with “Oh, that would never happen now. They jam the planes so full, theres never an available seat to be had.”And with that, the conversation endedat least that part of it. It was only later that it hit me I had unwisely said no to my friends experience of life. I had slammed (砰地关，使劲摔) my reality in her face, as if hers didnt matter. There are few things worse that we do to our friends than make them feel like they dont matter. We rarely mean to, yet we do it all the time. It would have been so easy for me to consider her experience in my response: “I never thought of that. I wonder if it would still work, given the general overcrowding.” I would not have thus denied either her experience or mine. And there would have been a continuing basis for conversation, had we wished to do so. Simply put, instead of listening competitively, we need to listen to learn. 【解题导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者在与朋友谈论乘坐飞机的经历时不经意地否定了朋友的说法，使朋友非常难堪。通过这件事，作者认识到在生活中我们应该用学习的心态去倾听。1The underlined part “coach ticket” in Paragraph 2 refers to a ticket for_.Athe platformBthe long journey busCthe first class in the planeDthe economy class in the planeD解析： 词义猜测题。 根据第二段中“.get into the first class cabin where surely conditions were far better than the economy (经济舱)” 和“.ask if there were any first class seats still available.” 可推知，“coach ticket”指飞机上的经济舱， 即a ticket for the economy class in the plane。 故选D项。2My friend ended the conversation because she thought_.AI lost faceBI misunderstood herCI overlooked her lifeDI voiced my opinionC解析： 推理判断题。 根据第三段“It was only later that it hit me I had unwisely said no to my friends experience of life.
