Every object tells a story. Even the most ordinary objects can present us with powerful images. Sometimes it is the ordinary nature of these objects that actually makes them so extraordinary. Such is the case with an old leather shoe in a museum in Alaska. At first glance it does not look like much. It is a woman's shoe of a style. popular in 1890s. But what is unique about this shoe is where it was found. It was discovered on the Chilkoot Pass, the famous trail used by the people seeking gold in Alaska. Who it belonged to or why it was left there is not known. Was it perhaps dropped by accident as the woman climbed up the 1, 500 stairs carved out of ice？ Or did she throw away goods that she didn't need or order to travel lighter？
Over 100, 000 people with "gold fever" made this trip hoping to become millionaires. Few of them understood that on their way they would have to cross a harsh wilderness. Unprepared for such a dangerous journey, many died of starvation and exposure to the cold weather. The Canadian government finally started requiting the gold seekers to bring one ton of supplies with them. This was thought to be enough for a person to survive for one year. They would carry their supplies in backpacks each weighing up to fifty pounds; it usually took at least 40 trips to get everything to the top and over the pass. Whoever dropped the shoe must have been a brave and determined woman. Perhaps she was successful and made it to Alaska. Perhaps she had to turn back in defeat. No one will ever know for sure, but what we do know is that she took part in one of the greatest adventures in the 19th century.
Why was the ordinary woman's leather shoe considered unusual？

Most of us have perfectly good ears.
So why, then, are we such perfectly awful listeners-listening on the average at a 25% level of efficiency？
The fact is there's a lot more to listening than hearing.
After we hear something, we must interpret it. Evaluate it. And finally respond to it. That's listening.
And it's during this complex process that we run into all kinds of trouble.
For example: We prejudge sometimes even disregard-a speaker based on his appearance or delivery.
We let personal ideas, emotions or prejudices distort what a person has to say.
We ignore subjects we consider too difficult or uninteresting.
And because the brain works four times faster than most people speak, we too often wander into distraction.
Yet as difficult as listening really is, it's the one communication skill we're fiver really taught.
Well, as a corporation with more than 80, 000 employees, we at Sperry are making sure we use our ears to full advantage.
We've set up expanded listening programs that Sperry personnel from our divisions worldwide can attend. Sales representatives, Sperry Univac computer engineers. Even the Chairman of the Board.
We're convinced that effective listening adds a special dimension to what we can do for our customers. And when you speak to someone from Sperry we think you'll be equally convinced.
It's amazing what more than two good ears can do.
What is the company trying to teach its employees to do？
听力原文：M: Doctor Cole, thank you for agreeing to this interview for the Daily Campus News. Can you tell us about what you and your colleagues discussed at the annual astronomy society meeting last month？
W: Sure. For the first time ever, the scientific community has established the existence of planets outside our own solar system. Of course we knew that certain distant stars existed. But only recently did we learn that several of them are orbited by their own planets.
M: Why did it take so long to locate these planets？
W: You have to understand that they are a billion times dimmer than their parent stars. It would be like trying to see the light of a candle next to a huge explosion. We don't currently have a telescope that can be used to see them.
M: But if the astronomers didn't see the planets through a telescope, how could they find them？
W: By an indirect method. It is hard to describe it with one or two words.
M: There is a powerful new telescope being built in Arizona. Will that help them see these planets？
W: They should be able to see them at least in the form. of small spots of light, and then the scientists would be able to break down and analyze the light. By doing this, they hope to learn about the chemical composition of these planets.
M: I'm looking forward to hearing more when the telescope is in operation. And I'm sure our readers will be interested in it, too.
When was the annual astronomy society meeting held？
