If we want to grow as people, we can't just depend on our own evaluation(评价)of how we're doing. We also need to know what other people think about our performance. Receiving feedback(反馈)from others can help us see the larger picture and show us a way forward to success. However, someone has to give that feedback, and sometimes, that someone will be you. How should you deal withthis?
First things first—ifyou notice a situation in which some feedback would be helpful, give it as soon as you can. If you wait until the matter disappears from the person's mind. they might not understand what you're trying to tell them. Take the person to a safe, comfortable place and offer your advice in private.
When you're giving feedback, it's important to keep in mind that no one likes to be told they're doing a bad job. Make sure you give an equal(相等的)amount of good feedback to balance out(平衡)anything bad. Like the saying goes, "A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.
All good feedback shares something in common. First, it should help achieve a goal. It's less useful to tell your friends that their dish tastes"interesting"than it is to suggest adding alittle salt. Feedback should also look toward the future. You can't change what's already happened, but you can prevent it from happening again. Tell your friends they should take more notes in class instead of talking about how they should have studied harder for the big history exam they failed.
Finally, don't think your suggestion is the only correct way to deal with a situation. You might even end up with some feedback on your feedback. Don't take it personally--it can only help you give better advice next time
42. What does the underlined word "this"in Paragraph probably mean?
A. Seeing the picture. B. Giving feedback
C. Receiving feedback. D. Showing a way to success
43. Why is it important to givefeedback in time according to Paragraph 2?
A. You might forget to tell the person later on.
B. Perhaps the person wants the feedback right away.
C. Maybe the person needs time to understand your advice
D. If you wait to long, the person might forget what's happened.
44. What can we infer(推断)from the underlined saying in Paragraph 3?
A. It's helpful to keep on giving bad feedback.
B. It's difficult to do a good job all the time.
C. It's better to balance good and bad feedback.
D. It's important to think twice before giving feedback.
45. The passage is mainly about_________________.
A. what characters good feedback includes
B. how people should give feedback properly
C. the differences between good and bad feedback
D. the importance of giving and receiving feedback
