Either out of confusion or discomfort we sometimes express our feelings in an unclear way. One key to making your feelings clear is to realize that you most often can shorten them in a few words: hurt, glad, confused, excited, angry, and so on. In the same way, with a little thought you can probably describe very briefly any reasons you have for feeling a certain way.

       In addition to avoiding too long expressions, a second way to prevent confusion is to avoid downplaying your feelings by saying“I’m a little unhappy”or“I’m pretty excited”.Of course, not all feelings are strong ones. We do feel degrees of sadness and joy, for example, but some communicators have a tendency to downplay almost every feeling. Do you?

       A third danger to avoid is expressing feelings in an indirect or coded manner. This happened most often when the sender is uncomfortable about showing his or her feeling in question. Some codes are verbal ones, as when the sender hints more or less subtly at the message. For example, an indirect way to say“I’m feeling lonely”might be“I guess there isn’t much happening this weekend, so if you’re not busy, why don’t you drop by?”such a message is so indirect that the chances that you real feeling will be recognized are small. For this reason, people who send coded messages stand less of a chance of having their feeling understood and their need met.

       Finally, you can express yourself clearly by making sure that both you and your partner understand that your feeling is centered in a specific(特定)set of environments rather than being indicative of the whole relationship. Instead of saying“I hate you”,say“I hate you when you don’t keep your promises”. Rather than“I’m bored with you”, say“I’m bored when you talk about your money.”

1.According to the first sentence, we sometimes express our feelings in an unclear way because

              .

       A.we are not clear what it is                    

       B.we have just get rid of a discomfort

       C.we are in a very bad feeling                 

       D.we do not want to tell anyone about it

2.We downplay our feeling if       .

       A.we don’t like it and try to hold it from anyone

       B.we control our anger without letting it out

       C.we use weak words to express a strong feeling

       D.we are confused an feel uncomfortable about it

3.The writer points out that if we express our feelings in a coded manner       .

       A.we will make them harder to be understood                          

       B.we will feel all the more confused

       C.we will feel uncomfortable                   

       D.we will make the listener uncomfortable

4.If you use very general words to express your feelings       .

       A.you tend to be downplaying them         

       B.you tend to be strengthening them

       C.you will make yourself well understood 

       D.your listener will not understand you well

5.According to the writer,“I’m bored with you”is an expression       .

       A.that strengthens our feelings                 B.that downplays our feelings

       C.that will make our listener confused       D.that is made in a coded manner
