Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around?

During their first four minutes together, according to a book by Dr. Leonard Zunin. “Every time you meet someone in a social situation, give him your undivided attention for four minutes. A lot of peoples whole lives would change if they did just that.”When we are introduced to new people, we should try to appear friendly and self-confident. In general, he says, “People like people who like themselves.” On the other hand, we should not make the other person think we are too sure of ourselves.Hearing such advice, one might say, “But Im not a friendly, self-confident person. Thats not my nature. It would be dishonest for me to act that way.” In reply, Dr. Zunin would claim that a little practice can help us feel comfortable about changing our social habits. We can become used to any changes we choose to make in our personality(性格). “Its like getting used to a new car. It may be unfamiliar(不熟悉的) at first, but it goes much better than the old.”But isnt it dishonest to give the appearance of friendly self-confidence when we dont actually feel that way? Perhaps, but according to Dr. Zunin, “total honesty” is not always good for social relationships, especially during the first few minutes of contact(接触). There is a time for everything, and a certain amount of play-acting may be best for the first few minutes of contact with a stranger. That is not the time to complain about ones health or to mention faults(毛病) one finds in other people. It is not the time to tell the whole truth about ones opinions and impressions.The author also declares that interpersonal(人际的) relations should be taught as a required course in every school, along with reading, writing, and mathematics. In his opinion, success in life depends mainly on how we get along with other people. That is at least as important as how much we know.28. When first introduced to new people, we should _.A. be friendly and sure of ourselves without caring about the other peoples feelingB. always tell the whole truth even if it hurtsC. appear friendly and self-confident at least for the first few minutesD. mention faults we find in the other people29. According to the authors advice, interpersonal relations _.A. should be set as a required course in schoolsB. are more important than other courses in schoolC. are less important than reading, writing and mathematicsD. is the only key to ones success in life30. The underlined word “play-acting” in the fourth paragraph means _.A. being totally honestB. being a little dishonestC. acting out what one feelsD. acting in a play31. The best title for the passage could be _.A. The Key to SuccessB. Best Ways to Make FriendsC. Personal RelationsD. The First Four MinutesDThe meaning of the word “volunteer” may be a little different in different countries, but it usually means “one who offers his or her services.” There are many different ways in which people can volunteer, such as taking care of sick people, working on homes for homeless children, and picking up garbage (垃圾) from beaches and parks. Volunteers may work within their countries or in other countries. They are often people with a strong wish to help those who are less fortunate than themselves. Volunteers dont expect any kind of pay.At the root of volunteering is the idea that one person may have the ability to offer services that can help other people. Tracy, a good friend of mine, however, recently came back from India with a new idea of what being a volunteer means. She worked for two and a half weeks in one of Mother Teresas homes in Calcutta. The following is her story.“I first heard about Mother Teresa in my high school, we watched a video(录像) about her work in India and all over the world. I was so moved by her spirit to help others and her endless love for every human being that after I graduated from high school, I too wanted to try her kind of work. So with two friends I flew to Calcutta for a few weeks.”“I was asked to work in a home for sick people. I helped wash clothes and sheets, and pass out lunch. I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer them up. I felt it was better to share with them than to think that I have helped them. To be honest, I dont think I was helping very much. It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help, but to learn about and experience another culture(文化) that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world.”32. According to the text, a volunteer refers to a person who _.A. is willing to help those in need without payB. can afford to travel to different placesC. has a strong wish to be successfulD. has made a big fortune in life33. Tracy started her work as a volunteer _.A. after she met Mother TeresaB. after she finished high schoolC. when she was touring CalcuttaD. when she was working in a hospital34. Why did Tracy choose to be a volunteer?A. She liked to work with Mother Teresa.B. She had already had some experience.C. She was asked by Mother Teresa to do so.D. She wanted to follow Mother Teresas example.35. What is Tracys “new idea” (Paragraph 2) of being a volunteer?A. Going abroad to help the sick.B. Working in Mother Teresas home.C. Doing simple things to help the poor.D. Improving oneself through helping others.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。I believe that one of the best ways to connect with people and build quality relationships is through making conversation. Although most people can hold a conversation, only a few are smooth when they talk. I have discovered five simple and effective ways to be a smooth talker. Here they are：Talk slowlyGenerally, good talkers dont rush into a conversation. 36_ They act as if they have all the time in the world. This makes them come off as centered and collected. Model this way of talking and you will create the same effect.Hold more eye contactMost people keep eye contact about 2/3 of the time or less when they talk. 37_ This will convey（表达，传达） confidence and interest in interacting with them.38_People with good conversation skills tend to notice the kind of things that the average person doesnt notice, and to bring such details into the conversation. They may notice and point out an interesting ring on the other persons hand, a certain foreign accent, or a certain voice tone they use when saying a name. Thus, such individuals impress people in a very elegant （优雅的）manner.Express your emotions39_ Express your feelings about those facts. Keep in mind that it is at the emotional level that people connect best.Use the best wordsThe ability to talk smoothly has a lot to do with choosing the precise （精确的）words to convey your precise feelings or thoughts.40_ It will help you develop a way with words and allow you to express yourself more easily.Conversational skills dont improve just like that. It takes time, practice and the ability to learn at a rapid rate from your own experiences.ADont just present the facts, youre not a newspaper.BIts a very good idea to hold eye contact just a bit more than that.CNotice the details.DIt is important to improve conversational skills.EOffer interesting news.FThey take their time when they reflect on（思考） something and when they say it out loud.GDevelop your vocabulary and practice communicating as accurately（准确地） as possible.III. 完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)A woman in her sixties lived alone in her little cottage with a pear tree at her door.
