To blame the behavior of taking animals to zoosB. To raise awareness of protecting wild animalsC. To inspire pity for the animals suffering in zoosD. To call for the improvement of zoo conditionsBSince she became a boss 20 years ago, Mary Davis was forced to develop her skills in munication and networking. Today, she says she can start a conversation with anyone.The easiest way to start a conversation,Davissaid, is by finding a monality between yourself and the other person.Davis advice on finding mon ground shines through in her reliable icebreakers. Among them are “How do you know our host?” and “Ive never been to one of these seminars (研讨会). Have you?”According to Davis, this one leads to a conversation no matter what the answer.“If they answer No, you can go on by saying something like, Well, I heard that we can expect to hear about . If they answer Yes, you can continue by asking for their opinion of the last seminar.” However, Davis said that sometimes she will just go up to someone, offer her hand, and say, “Hi, Im Mary Davis. I dont think weve met yet.”The most important thing to remember about having a conversation is to make eye contact and use the other persons name, saidDavis. “This makes the other person more likely to remember you.” While the other person is talking,Davisacts as though she is only interested in what they have to say. This philosophy (哲学) of making the other person the center of attention carries over to small talk.In order to practice talking with people,Davissuggests going to a public place. “Its always easy to open with something youve observed from the other person, like I couldnt help but notice youre reading the new John Grisham novel. How is it?”ForDavis, though, the one thing that has really been a big help to her in being an expert conversationalist is confidence in herself. “Some reasons people might be shy about entering into a conversation are that they are unfortable with themselves; they feel unworthy in parison to others in the group; they dont want to appear stupid, uninformed, or uneducated; or maybe theyve had a bad experience in public that makes them hesitant (迟疑) now.”24.Davis icebreakers mentioned in Paragraph 2 are helpful in _.A. expressing herself B. opening a conversationC. making friends with others D. being the center of attention25.Davisprobably thinks a direct introduction during a conversation is _.A. impolite B. worthless C. acceptable D. surprising26. To start a conversation, how willDavisreact when the other person keeps talking about himself?A. Ask more about him. B. Speak louder than him.C. Change the topic of conversation. D. Break off the conversation politely.27. The last paragraph mainly explains _.A. howDavisgot interested in making conversationB. why it is important to develop confidence in yourselfC. how to overe nervousness when speaking in publicD. why it is difficult for some people to start a conversationCMy six-year-old granddaughter stared at me as if she were seeing me for the first time. “Grandma, you are an antique(古董),” she said. “You are old. Antiques are old. You are my antique.”I was not satisfied to let the matter rest there. I took out the Websters Dictionary and read the definition to Jenny. I explained, “An antique is not only old, its an object existing since or belonging to earlier times.a work of art. a piece of furniture. Antiques are treasured,” I told Jenny as I put away the dictionary. “They have to be handled carefully because they sometimes are very valuable. In order to qualify as an antique, the object has to be at least 100 years old.”“Im only 67,” I reminded Jenny.We looked around the house for other antiques, besides me. There was a desk that was handed down from Rone aunt to another and finally to our family. “Its very old,” I told Jenny. “I try to keep it polished and I show it off whenever I can. You do that with antiques.There was a picture on the wall bought at a garage sale. It was dated 1867. “Now thats an antique,” I said with pride. “Over 100 years old.” Of course it was marked up and scratched (刮坏) and not in very good condition. “Sometimes age does that,” I told Jenny. “But the marks are good marks. They show living, or being around. Thats something to display with pride. In fact, sometimes, the more an object shows age, the more valuable it can bee.” I believed this was important for my own self-worth.Our tour of antiques continued. There was a vase on the floor. It had been in my house for a long time. I was not certain where it came from but I didnt buy it new. One thing about antiques, I explained to Jenny, was that they usually had a story. Theyd been in one home and then another, handed down from one family to another, traveling all over the place. Theyd lasted through years and years. They could have been thrown away, or ignored. or destroyed, or lost. But instead, they survived.For a moment, Jenny looked thoughtful. “l dont have any antiques but you,” she said. Then her face brightened. “Could I take you to school for show and tell?”“Only if I fit into your backpack,” I answered. And then Jennys antique lifted her up and embraced her in a hug that would last through the years.28. Grandma read the definition of “antique” to Jenny in order to _. A. express her disappointment at being called “antique” B. change Jennys shallow understanding of antiques C. tell Jenny the importance of protecting antiques D. list all the important characteristics of antiques 29. Which of the following information did grandma express to Jenny? A. The desk reminded her of her dear relatives. B. There was usually a sad story behind each antique. C. The spots on the picture showed its age and value. D. She planned to buy a new vase to replace the old one. 30. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Grandma was too old to lift Jenny up. B. Jenny was too young to know grandmas humor. C. Jenny had a strong desire for grandmas love. D. Grandma had a deep long-lasting love for Jenny. 31. What can be the best title for the passage? A.
