They may have smiled, but from their eyes, and replies, he knew he was not making much sense to th
17、em.Now he was shown to a seat in the restaurant. He took a deep breath and looked at his watch. 7:55 p.m. His advisor and psychologist, Susan, had arranged a blind date for him with a lady called Stephanie. Shed told him nothing about her, just that she was attractive, divorced and in her early fort
18、ies.But he trusted Susan. Over the past three years, shed helped him gain social skills and a measure of confidence. Looking in the mirror, he recognized his good looks, despite the hearing aids behind both ears.A woman with a white stick and sunglasses passed his table, aided by a waiter. “Are you
19、Christian?” The woman enquired.Christian read the lips of the woman, presumably Stephanie, as she stood at the table. “Are you Christian Brown? May I join you?” From the way she felt the table and edged around it, he realized she was blind. He quickly said, “Yes, by all means.”Stephanie had likewise
20、 been told very little about Christian. Susan had said he had a good heart, and that was what she now needed most in a man.Christian admired her high cheekbones and perfect teeth. He felt a strong attraction building and told himself to relax, to let her feel at home with him. To his surprise, a wai
21、ter brought her a plastic-coated card, covered in small dots.Stephanie felt it with her fingertips. “May I have Chicken Vindaloo and Tarka Dahl, please?” She smiled in Christians direction, “I like things spicy!”He felt a hand on his shoulder and turned. It was Susan, all smiles at seeing the two of
22、 them together. She gestured in sign language to him, whilst speaking it out loud for Stephanies benefit. “Hello, Christian, are you alright?”Stephanie felt a kiss on her cheek and Susans hand on hers, and a whisper in her ear.“Are you OK with Christian?”They both smiled at Susan, one seeing, one un

26、 skills. Well, thats how extraverts are generally described. But, according to new work, thats not exactly how other people see them. In a series of studies reported in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, Francis J. Flynn at Stanford University, US and colleagues consistently found that more
27、 extraverted people are considered to be poorer listeners. Their research also reveals a likely reason why.There is no academic agreement on what constitutes “good” listening. But, in line with some other researchers, the team conceptualises it as involving emotion-related processes, cognitive proce
28、sses and also behavioural processes. In everyday life, its not necessarily easy to ascertain whether the person were talking to is really listening, however. They might be making plenty of eye contact, for example, but its always possible that theyre just pretending to be listening well. In this res
29、earch, the team focused on only the participants perceptions of others listening skills.In an earlier study, 147 first-year business students, who met weekly in groups of six to work on leadership skills, rated the listening skills of everyone else in their group. The participants then completed a s
30、cale that assessed their own extraversion. The team found that those with higher self-reported extraversion got poorer marks for listening.However, in this study, peoples perceptions could have been influenced by the actual social relationships they had with other members of their group. So in almos
31、t all of the subsequent studies, fresh groups of participants rated the listening skills of fictional people who were described as falling at various points on the intraversion-extraversion spectrum (范围). Results from these studies supported the previous finding. Time and again, extraverted people w
32、ere rated as being poorer listeners in social situations. As the team writes: “That is, despite the tendency for people to see extraverts as highly sociable, they tend to see this sociability as highly one-sided.”An online study of 337 US-based adults suggested why this might be. Fictional people wh
33、o were described as highly extraverted were also perceived to be better at controlling and modifying how they come across to others. “To observers, this signal of malleable self-presentation suggests that extraverts are more interested in looking the part than attending to what others have to say,”
34、the team writes.It would be really interesting, though, to see work on the real-world implications of this particular belief. “For example, listening has been identified as the key to successful sales,” the team notesso perhaps it would be wise for highly extraverted sales people to try to modify th
35、eir behaviour with clients.A vast amount of research has been done on extraversion itself. “Our findings contribute to the study of extraversion by examining how people think about extraversion,” the researchers write.

I know he is a caring person, who always loves animals.About two weeks later, I heard my husband calling “Oh, my God !” Thinking something similar happened again, I ran over to have a look. He was looking out of the window and said excitedly, “Look! What a surprise! There are three eggs in the sparrows nest! They re going to have babies of their own!” He was happy, like a child and unconsciously opened the closed window. After that, there are always breadcrumbs on the window platform of the reading room.
