问题 Debate is a valuable way to practise communicating. It can also bring long-lasting rewards, especially for people working with Western businesses. The main activity of debate is presenting one’ s opinion and supporting it with evidence, such as statistics or facts. It is a way of persuasive communication.
Charles Lebeau helped create the "Discover Debate" method. He says debate is important to understanding how people communicate in Western business. Successful debaters learn how to give their opinion, reasons and support. " What we are trying to do is to develop a kind of thinking or approach to discussion and how to interact (交流) with someone else’ s opinion, rather than brush their opinion aside."
Debate skills are also important in selling a product, he says. In that situation, the judges are the customers. "So on Monday, for example, one company may come in and present their case to the customer and they’ 11 make as strong a case as they can. On Tuesday, the next day, another company will come in and present their case to the customer. Usually the party that can present the strongest case wins."
Debate also strengthens critical thinking. In other words, it helps students learn to ask questions and try to understand someone’ s reasons and evidence.
Mr. Lebeau points out that successful debaters learn to listen carefully to what other people are saying. Then, they look for the weak points in someone else ’ s opinion or argument. He says debate teaches a systematic way of questioning.
Successful debaters also learn to think from someone else’ s point of view. Mr. Lebeau says debate can help broaden the mind. "There’s an expression in English; don’t criticize another person before you have walked in their shoes. I think the wonderful thing about debate is, it puts us in another person’ s shoes."
What can debaters benefit from "walking in another person’s shoes?"
选项 A、Becoming more broad-minded.
B、Developing critical thinking.
C、Finding others’ weak points.
D、Trying out others’ methods.
答案A
解析 最后一段。第一句就点明成功的辩论者能够学会从别人的角度去思考问题。基于这一点，第二句进一步申明辩论可以开阔眼界(broaden the mind)。因为从别人的角度去思考，所以使眼界更开阔。也由此可以判断walk in another person’s shoes意为处于别人的境地，从别人的角度思考问题。选项A正确。
