1 Introduction
As we all know, listening plays the most basic and indispensible role in our daily communication. It is one of the most vital ways for people to obtain information in our society. It is also regarded as the most important skill among the four basic skills. As for students, the requirements of students’ listening comprehension ability have become higher. In addition, the tests which have been taking in middle schools cover a large proportion of listening comprehension. Therefore, in order to improve their listening, they have to spend much time on it. While, the fact is that it is not the more students listen to, the better scores they will have. The root of the problem is that which strategies students take when they are having listening practice.

It has also been studied by them from different aspects and levels due to its complexity.
