By clarifying everyone’s expectations and roles, you'll help to (61) greater trust and increased productivity among employees. Here are a few tips for doing so. Practice active listening. The art of active listening includes (62) _ close attention to what another person is saying, then paraphrasing what you've heard and repeating it back. Concentrate (63) the conversation at hand and avoid unwanted interruptions (cellphone calls, others walking into your office, etc.). Take note of how your own experience and values may color your perception. Pay attention to non-verbal cues. We don't communicate with words alone. Every conversation comes with a host of non-verbal cues - facial expressions, body language, etc. - that may (64) contradict what we’re saying. Before addressing a staff member or (65) a project conference, think carefully about your tone of voice, how you make eye contact, and what your body is "saying." Be consistent throughout. Be clear and to the point. Don't cloud instructions or requests with irrelevant details, such as problems with past projects or issues with long-departed personnel. State what you need and what you expect. Ask, "Does anyone have any questions?" Demonstrate that you prefer questions up-front as opposed to misinterpretation later on.

When the water is warm, the amount of rainfall in Indonesia and the surrounding regions decreases. Australia could (67) experience a drought in many parts. On the other hand, Chile (which borders the Pacific Ocean) is preparing for severe rainstorms. In Pakistan and northwestern India, the weather pattern makes the rainy season weaker and makes the area much drier. This happening is called El Nino and is used (68) weather forecasters to make long-range weather predictions. They also know that El Nino will bring unusually rain to the southwestern part of the United States and make the central part of the country drier at the same time. According to research, weather forecasters (69) know about the coming weather with certainty. Now everything has become completely different. El Nino itself used to be predictable. It would occur every two to seven years. But now this weather pattern is becoming more frequent. We cannot say when and how often tornadoes or cyclones occur. Scientists are unsure of the reason for this (70) on the global scale either.

This tool measures things like a twister’s temperatune, humidity, and wind speed. With this information, Samaras can lean what causes tornadoes to develop. If meteorologists understand this, they can warn people (72) twisters sooner and save lives. How does Samaras hunt tornadoes? It’s not easy. First, he has to find one. Tornadoes are too small to see using weather satellites. So Samaras can’t rely on these tools to find a twister. (73) , he waits for tornadoes to develop. Once Samaras sees a tornado, the chase begins. But a tornado is hard to follow. Some tornadoes change (74) several time – for example, moving east and then west and then east again. When Samaras finally gets near a tornado, het puts the turtle probe on the ground. Being this close to twister is (75) . He must get away quickly.

George does the cooking, Joe and Sue do almost the housework. Pam looks after the shopping and (77) the repairs, and Alice takes care of the garden. Alice, George and Sue go out to work. Joe works at home (78) computer systems, and Pam, who is a painter, looks after the baby during the day. Two of the children go to school in the village, but the three oldest ones go by bus to the secondary school in the nearest town, ten miles away. The three families get (79) well, and enjoy their way of life. There are a few difficulties, of course. Their biggest worry at the moment is money- one of the cars needs replacing, and the roof needs some expensive repairs.

When the waiter came, the Englishman opened his mouth, put his fingers into it and took them out again and moved his lips. In this way, he meant to say, "Bring me something to eat."
