In the business world, active listening goes beyond simply hearing information. It's a strategic communication skill that fosters deeper understanding, builds trust, and improves collaboration. It involves giving your full attention to a speaker, both verbally and nonverbally, to grasp the complete message. This includes:

Paying close attention: Minimize distractions, maintain eye contact, and avoid formulating counter-arguments while someone speaks.
Understanding nonverbal cues: Notice body language, tone of voice, and facial expressions to glean underlying emotions or unspoken concerns.
Asking clarifying questions: Don't assume you understand everything. Use open-ended questions to encourage elaboration and ensure you're on the same page.
Paraphrasing and summarizing: Reflect back key points in your own words to confirm comprehension and demonstrate attentiveness.
Empathy and emotional intelligence: Acknowledge the speaker's feelings and tailor your responses to create a safe space for open communication.
Active listening benefits businesses in numerous ways:

Stronger client relationships: By truly understanding client needs, businesses can provide more relevant solutions and build lasting partnerships.
Enhanced negotiation and sales: Active listening allows salespeople to tailor pitches and identify client concerns for successful deal-closing.
Improved team dynamics: Active listening fosters collaboration by ensuring everyone feels heard and valued, leading to better problem-solving and decision-making.
Reduced conflict: By giving speakers their due attention and clarifying positions, misunderstandings and conflicts are minimized.
Increased productivity: Active listening avoids wasted time due to miscommunication and ensures everyone is working towards the same goals.
By actively listening, businesses create a communication culture that fosters trust, collaboration, and ultimately, success.

Governments across the world are busy encouraging people to buy electric vehicles (EVs) as countries try to meet climate targets.

In some places, customers have been given incentives to buy EVs, making them cheaper than oil-powered cars at the showroom.

But drivers have been wondering whether new EVs will hold their value over time.

It's a topic that has received a lot of attention online. A number of different sites report that in many markets the prices of secondhand EVs are depreciating faster than the prices of oil-powered cars.

Depreciation is to be expected with all vehicles. As soon as a new car is driven away from the showroom, it loses some of its value.

But aging EVs are a little different to aging oil-powered cars — they come with a unique set of challenges.

In the first half of 2023, Car Dealer magazine reported that 29 of the top 30 biggest depreciating used cars were EVs.

The EV market is growing all the time, and while a few years ago there was not enough supply to meet customer demand, that's no longer the case.

Previously, customers looking for an EV might have settled for a used vehicle, but they don't have to anymore.

New models may also promise newer battery technology or longer battery life, causing people to choose a new vehicle over an older one. Perhaps they are also encouraged by those generous government incentives to buy new.

But it might not be all bad news for EV owners who are looking to sell their used vehicles. Writing for Euronews, Geraldine Herbert argues that increased public confidence in EVs will help slow depreciation rates, because people will feel more comfortable buying older vehicles.

In the next few years, the EV market will keep growing as countries end sales of new oil-powered cars, and according to Herbert this means that more EVs will keep more of their value over time.

大家晚上好啊，我是丹霞。您现在收听的是中文台词频道，今天的台词出自电影《七月与安生》，由周冬雨和马思纯主演。

        “十三岁到十五岁，是七月和安生形影不离的三年。 有时候七月是安生的影子，有时候安生是七月的影子。她们在书里读到：如果踩住一个人的影子，那个人一辈子不会离开。但是安生说一辈子太长了，她只想活到二十七岁。

        初中毕业，七月考上了最好的高中，安生进了职业学校。用安生的话说，熬了九年终于考进了一所 不需要交作文、没有操行评分的学校，正和她的胃口。”

                                                                                                           ——电影《七月与安生》/<Soulmate>

"From 13 to 15 years old, Qiyue and Ansheng have been always together for three years. Sometimes Qiyue is the shadow of Ansheng, and sometimes Ansheng is the shadow of Qiyue. They read in the book: if you keep stepping on a someone's shadow, that person will never leave. But Ansheng said that a whole lifetime is too long, and she only wants to live up to 27.

After graduating from junior high school, Qiyue was admitted to the best high school, and Ansheng entered a vocational school. In Ansheng's words, after nine years hard life, she finally got into a school that doesn't need to hand in a composition and doesn't have a code of conduct. It was just to her taste. "

🚀 El Último Mensaje de Orión 🌌

La Tierra había quedado en silencio tras el Gran Apagón Digital del año 2150. Las ciudades seguían en pie, pero la tecnología que había sostenido a la humanidad durante décadas desapareció en un segundo. En medio de este caos, Lara, una ingeniera de comunicaciones, encontró una señal débil proveniente de Orión. Era un mensaje codificado en una frecuencia desconocida: "No fue un fallo. Prepárense. Ellos vienen".

Alarmada, Lara buscó respuestas. Revisó antiguos archivos y descubrió que, años atrás, una sonda enviada al espacio había interceptado una señal similar. Pero los científicos la habían descartado como interferencia. Ahora, con la red global caída y el sistema solar en aparente calma, esa advertencia parecía más real que nunca. La señal se repetía cada hora, con más fuerza, como si alguien —o algo— quisiera asegurarse de que la humanidad la escuchara.

Una noche, mientras observaba las estrellas, una enorme sombra cubrió el cielo. No era una nube ni un dron. Era una nave colosal que parecía absorber la luz a su alrededor. El mensaje volvió a sonar, pero esta vez con una frase nueva: "Es demasiado tarde". Lara corrió hacia su refugio, pero su comunicador emitió un último sonido: una voz metálica que dijo su nombre. Luego, el cielo se iluminó de verde y la señal se detuvo para siempre.
