Encountering this situation is so uncomfortable that it can even force you to avoid meeting new people in the first place, but there is a way to get around it.Why You Run Out of Things to Say. After studying this in depth, I found patterns of behavior that can keep you from making great conversation with people.One of these common behaviors is the habit of filteringholding back from saying something until youve “checked” with yourself to make sure that what youre about to say is cool, impressive, smart, and interesting. What does that do to your conversation ability? It kills it! Another problem is not learning to get in the mood for conversation. If you spent a whole day working or studying analytical or logical subjects, and you dont know how to switch from that, then it can take a lot of time to warm up and start interacting with people socially. You can overcome this simply by learning a few new skills, such as the ones listed below.No Filtering. This is the reflex that allows you to say whatever goes on in your mind. No filtering, no checking with yourself “would I sound cool if I say this?”. None of that. The best way to practice this is to start doing it with people you kind of knowdoyou dare to try it? Its fun to realize that youre allowed to say whatever is on your mind, and no-one is going to judge you for it. As long as you dont say anything that could land you in jail, youre okay!“Interesting, tell me more!” This works 99% of the time. Its a surefire technique, and it works especially wellfor beginners. People love to know that youre interested in what they have to say, so if you show some interest, theyll hang around and want to talk to you even more. All of the “oh! thats interesting”, “Hmm, Ive never heard of that”, “Hmm, cool!” expressions are reactionary bits of conversation that prove to the other person that youre really listening, and thats very flattering to them.Stories from Everywhere. Everyone knows that stories juice-up conversations, but most people only talk about stories their own lives. You dont have to draw from your own experience when speaking with someone: _ , from stories that happened to people you know, to those you came across via the radio, TV, magazines, etc. How can you integrate the stories into your conversation? The key is to first realize that you can use them. Youve already heard them, and the more interesting or weird they are, the harder they are to forget, so youre all good. Your brain doesnt lose them.When someone mentions something related to any of them, just tell the story, even if its not from your life.It can be any silly story, short or long, interesting, or totally awkwardjust use it! People love talking to people who can just share stuff openly like that. These techniques should get you started, but if you want to take it to an advanced levelto the point where you can just have fun when talking to anyone, meet the right people you want in your life, and be able to make friends with them fastthen I recommend that you take a little time tolearn more about how conversations work.If you do that, youll make conversations far more interesting, with natural ease, avoiding all awkward silences that might prevent you from meeting the right friends that you would love to have around.61.

This passage is likely to be part of _.A. a science fictionB. a news reportC. an advertisementD. a travel journalCFor several days I saw little of Mr. Rochester. In the morning he seemed much occupied with business, and in the afternoon gentlemen from the neighborhood called and some times stayed to dine with him. When his foot was well enough, he rode out a great deal.During this time, all my knowledge of him was limited to occasional meetings about the house , when he would sometimes pass me coldly, and sometimes bow and smile. His changes of manner did not offend me, because I saw that I had nothing to do with the cause of them.One evening, several days later, I was invited to talk to Mr. Rochester after dinner. He was sitting in his armchair, and looked not quite so severe, and much less gloomy. There was a smile on his lips, and his eyes were bright, probably with wine. As I was looking at him, he suddenly turned, and asked me, do you think Im handsome, Miss Eyre?The answer somehow slipped from my tongue before I realized it: No, sir.ah, you really are unusual! You are a quiet, serious little person, but you can be almost rude.Sir, Im sorry. I should have said that beauty doesnt matter, or something like that,no, you shouldnt! I see, you criticize my appearance, and then you stab(刺) me in the back! You have honesty and feeling. There are not many girls like you. But perhaps I go too fast. Perhaps you have awful faults to counterbalance （抵消）your few good pointsI thought to myself that he might have too. He seemed to read my mind, and said quickly, yes, youre right. I have plenty of faults. I went the wrong way when I was twenty-one, and have never found the right path again. I might have been very different. I might have been as good as you, and perhaps wiser. I am not a bad man, take my word for it, but I have done wrong. It wasnt my character, but circumstances which were to blame. Why do I tell you all this? Because youre the sort of person people tell their problems and secrets to, because youre sympathetic and give them hope.It seemed he had quite a lot to talk to me. He didnt seem to like to finish the talk quickly, as was the case for the first time.Dont be afraid of me, Miss Eyre. He continued. you dont r
