Some people make you feel comfortable when they are around. You spend an hour with them and feel as if you have known them half your life. 1..

Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, they’ll help you put people at their ease, and make friends with them quickly.

First of all,good talkers ask questions. 2.. One well-known businesswoman says, “At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. It’s a common question,but it will get things going.” From there you can move on to other matters—sometimes to really personal questions. 3. .

Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers .This point seems clear, but it isn’t. 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. 4.. If someone sticks to one topic, you can take it as a fact that he’s really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones of voice. If the voice sounds dull, then, it’s time for you to change the subject.

Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the occasion of parting. If you’re saying goodbye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, “I’ve really enjoyed meeting you.” 5.. Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if they’ve known you half their life.

A. Real listening at least means some things.

B. You can become a popular person.

C. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question.

D. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.

E. If you want to see that person again, don’t keep it a secret.

F. It’s polite to listen to others with a smile.

G. These people have something in common.

Children who read for pleasure at the age of 10 have far higher vocabulary scores by the age of 42.

Researchers at the Institute of Education(IOE)have found that the most crazy childhood readers score far higher on vocabulary tests 30 years later.The new study suggests that children who read for pleasure carry the intellectual(智力的)benefits with them far into adulthood.

“The long-term influence of reading for pleasure on vocabulary that we have identified may be because the frequent childhood readers continued to read throughout their twenties and thirties,”says lead author Professor Alice Sullivan at the IOE.Researchers followed 9,400 British people from the age of 10 up to 42.Their vocabulary was tested using a simple quiz which asked participants to match up words to the most similar meaning.

Those who had regularly read for pleasure at 10 scored 67 percent at the age of 42,while infrequent childhood readers scored only 51 percent.

The IOE study also found that what people chose to read as adults mattered as much as how often they read.The greatest improvements between ages 16 and 42 were made by readers of ‘elegant’ fictions such as Booker Prize winning novels.And they found that readers of quality newspapers,including online versions,made more progress in vocabulary throughout their lives than those who read tabloids.

In addition,generally speaking,the adult readers who especially read broadsheets(宽幅印刷品)scored 76 percent on the assessment compared to 57 percent amongst those who didn’t.

1.Why did frequent childhood readers have higher vocabulary scores?

A.Because they are born intelligent.

B.Because they formed the consistent reading habit.

C.Because they were crazy about pleasure.

D.Because they had a comfortable childhood.

2.What may not affect the adult readers’ vocabulary scores?

C.Versions online or not.

I once had a friend that was diagnosed with terminal cancer,and the news that he might only live up to six months was a great shock to him,his family,and his friends.However,in spite of the serious illness,he was initially determined to look into all available treatments that might cure or extend his life.I think that when you find yourself in such situations,you tend to look up every possible way for hope of saving your life.

As months went on and his health grew worse,I noticed an unexpected change in attitude that came over him.He had also been a happy person with a cheerful personality,but rather than give in to discouragement and self-pity,he took comfort in God and humanity.His talks focused on others rather than himself,and he spoke of the afterlife as something he was prepared for,believing that his concerned ancestors,including his mother and father,were there waiting for him.

During the last few months,weeks,and days of his life,he was kindly cared for by friends,his loving wife,who looked after both his physical and emotional needs,and workers from a local hospice(安养院) came to the home to regulate his medication and provide any other needed support.He didn’t complain about his fate,and he willingly allowed others to serve him.

Indeed,one might think why God allows death and suffering in our world,but for me,such experiences taught me to value family more and kindness for others.You can’t often learn these important attributes in the lap of luxury,and perhaps,such an experience is the greatest and final gift the illness can give those left behind.

A.Giving more respect to friends.

B.Extending life as long as possible.

People from all over the world visit Disneyland to have fun, not to get sick. But last week, an outbreak of measles(麻疹)spread from the Southern California theme park. As of Monday, January 19, at least 52 people have got the easily spread illness.
