When I was a little child, I dreamed to be a rich man who could fly around the world and take the first class (头等舱) on the plane. After I grew up, when I first took the first class, I felt like part of the rich group. I was filled with a sense of pride when sitting with those important people.
Once I was on the plane, I noticed that the stewardess (空姐) was working all the time to make sure that first class passengers felt comfortable. I thought she must love her job very much, because she gave everyone a big smile. When the stewardess walked past my seat, I looked up at her and said, "Thank you and I hope you have a great night." She stopped with a look of surprise on her face, and said, "Excuse me?" I said my words again. It seemed that I asked a question that she did not know how to answer.
A little later, when I was getting off the plane, the stewardess said to me, "Thank you very much, sir." Then she said, "You are the only passenger who has thanked me or said anything nice to me all night." The pride of being part of rich group disappeared as soon as I heard these words. Then I came to understand that taking the first class didn't mean you were a real "first class" person.

Hi, Daming,
You ask me about how to improve(提高) your English listening. Here are some advice(建议). I hope they can help you.
Relax(放松) yourself.
Before you start listening to something, don't get excited or nervous(紧张的).You need to relax.This will help you with your listening.
Listen carefully to the first sentence.
The first sentence tells a lot about the whole passage.For example,if,at the beginning,you hear “Our reporter says…”,you know you will hear a piece of news,not a children's story, or a science report.
Think when you're listening.
When you're listening, try to do some thinking.For example, you can think of the following questions: When, where and how? What does the speaker want to tell us? In this way, you may understand the passage better.
Listen to important facts.
It's important for you to remember some important facts. For example, if the passage is a science report, you should try to remember its findings, and how the scientists get their results. This is also very helpful to your listening.
Yours,
Tom
