You spend an hour with them and feel as if youve known them half your life. These people have something in common. And once we know what it is, we can try to do it ourselves.How is it done? Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you know the skills, they will help you put people at their ease, and make friends with them quickly.First of all, good talkers have asked questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question. One well-known business woman says, “At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. Its a common question, but it will get things going.” From there you can move on to other matters-sometimes to really personal questions. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen for the answers. This point seems clear, but it isnt. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen, carefully and attentively.Real listening at least means some things. First it means not to change the subject of conversation. If someone sticks to one topic, you can take it as a fact that hes really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones of voice. If the voice sounds dull, then, its time for you to change the subject.Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the occasion of parting. If youre saying goodbye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, “ I have really enjoyed meeting you.” If you want to see that person again, dont keep it a secret. Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if theyve known you half their lives.36. You will like to stay with some people _.A. who have something in common with you. B. when you have met him before.C. with whom you feel it easy to get along well.D. from whom you can get necessary and timely help.37. What does the underlined expression “ put people at their ease” mean?A. To make people feel it easy to talk to you. B. To make people feel comfortable.C. To make people more easy-going. D. To make people feel encouraged.38. After asking somebody a question, you should _.A. make it clear what is fit to ask next B. wait quietly for his answersC. go on to ask him more questions D. change the subject to another one39. How can you make the others feel theyve known you half of their lives?A. By letting them know you enjoy meeting them.B. By giving them a firm handshake when parting.C. By asking proper questions and listening carefully and attentively.D. By keeping talking to them in the conversation.BMaybe What Will Be?“I think the future will be cool. When the weather is not good, all you need to do is push a button and your house would be up above the clouds. All the schools would have computers. And whenever you want to go somewhere youll have a flying board to take you there. Also, when your house is messy, you just call your maid, Rose.”Dorian Flores, age 8“If New York City keeps going the way it is, it will be more crowded, with more traffic, worse air, more litter and less open, green spaces. Bridges and subways will be even older and need repair or replacement. We need to learn to take care of the environment, reuse, recycle and compost（制成堆肥）, so we have less garbage. Put more money into NYC budgets to maintain our parks, playgrounds and beaches. New Yorkers need to respect and love their citynot vandalize and litter it.”Linda Sarkadi, age 11“I think that if we all rode on bikes right now, we could limit all the pollution that is in the world. Then our descendants（后代）could live in a safe environment. They wouldnt have to suffer like their ancestors before them did. Another thing we could do to make the future better is to teach people that fighting doesnt solve any problems. This lesson will be passed down from generation to generation and the children of the future wont have to be scared of doing anything. They will know that peace has finally come.”Riddhi Shah, age 10“In the year 2020, there will be many modern things. One thing is having a car run by the stars. We will have a computer disk called IQ 6000. We will have cars, phones and computers that are all run off batteries.”Jimit Shah, age 840.

When they touched the first number, the other eight turned into white squares. The test was to touch all these squares in the order of the numbers that used to be there. Results showed that the chimps, while no more accurate than people, could do this faster.One chimp, Ayumu, did the best. Researchers included him and nine college students in a second test.This time, five numbers flashed on the screen only briefly before they were replaced by white squares. When the numbers were displayed for just four-tenths or two-tenths of a second, Ayumu was the champ.Professor Matsuzawa thinks two factors gave chimps the edge. One, he believes human ancestors gave up much of his skill over time to make room in the brain for language abilities. The other factor is the youth of the chimps. The memory for images required for the tests resembles a skill found in children, which becomes weaker with age.44. What is the text mainly about?A. Sometimes chimps can do better than humans. B. Chimps against human adults.C. Two tests of short-term memory. D. Reasons why chimps won over humans.45. It can be learnt from the text that _.A. the three chimps have been trained for years.B. the nine numbers were displayed in the order of 1 to 9.C. they must touch all the squares as fast as they can.D. the challenge was to touch those numbers in the proper order.46. We can conclude from the two tests that _.A. Ayumu was always better at taking the pattern of numbers fast.B. the numbers didnt apear in the same position each time.C. the nine numbers must appear on the screen in the order of 1 to 9.D. the students had managed to match the three young chimps.47. The reason why the college students lost may be that they have _.A. got too tired to take the tests B. taken no brain room for this skillC. taken no interest in the tests D. got a little older to react quicklyDIt is winter and as you have probably noticed, germs are everywhererunnng noses, sore throats, high fever, headache, nothing quite like the common cold to make you feel miserable.But experts believe that there is no link between cold weather and catching colds. So why are we particularly weak in this season, and why do we frequently catch colds?Interact medicine expert, Dr Meenaskshi Jain of Max Hospital says, “One reason could be because people are likely to stay indoors, so the virus can spread easily. Also the viruses are created quickly in wet space.”The common cold is a viral infection（病毒性感染）that can be caused by any of up to 250 strains of virus, the most common group of which are the rhinovirus that hit the nose. They are responsible for anywhere between a third and half of all common colds.“They are spread through the nose and respiratory passages（呼吸道）, by touching, and by contacting with airborne dusts that are created by sneezing or coughing,” says Dr Jain.There is no cure for the common cold and antibiotics（抗生素）are of no help. However, there are some premeasures which can help:Wash your hands regularly, so that germs get killed.Dont share your drinking glasses with anyone as this will prevent the spread og the virus.Drink lots of water to avoid dehydration（脱水）.Make sure to eat enough fruits to improve your immune system.Get enough sleep and youll certainly become stronger.48.

They also leave copies of the do-it-yourself design handbook “Sigh Up For The Bikes”, a cycle policy guide seen everywhere.Many countries have set special goals, such as Britain which wants ten percent of London traffic to be bicycles instead of cars compared with a national average of 2 percent.Although about 50 percent of citizens in Dutch cities use their bikes daily, the Dutch still dont think it it is good enough. They plan to have 30 percent more bicycle kilometers by the year 2020, while reducing car traffic by 8.75 percent.In their densely populated lowlands the Dutch have no huge city traffic jams becaue of their love for the bike.Cycling might be cheap, fast and pleasant in many Dutch towns. It can still be a struggle for survival in todays rush hour city traffic.Fear of injury might be a more difficult problem to solve in Britain, where a cyclist is ten times more likely to be killed or injured than in Denmark or the Netherlands.But if you live, you will live longer. A cyclist can enjoy the health of an unfit person ten years younger, a report by British doctors found.52. Officials throughout the world come to the Netherlands to learn _.A. how to direct traffic in cities B. how to build bicycle highwaysC. how to popularize the use of bicycles D. how to reduce traffic accidents in cities53.
