As Farah left the kitchen，her father called her from the living room．Farah went to her father and paled when she saw the exam report in his hands．"Farah，what has happened to your grades？You have failed in Mathematics，"her father said．Farah had no answer．The truth was that the activities of Purple Girls Club left her with very little time for studies．

9．When I was 8 years old，I decided to run away from home after a quarrel with my mother．With my suitcase packed and some sandwiches in a bag，I started for the front door．My mom asked where I was going．"I'm leaving home，"I said．"What's that you're carrying？"she asked．"Some clothes and food，"I replied．
"If you want to run away，that's all right，"she said．"But you came into this home without anything and you can leave the same way．"
I threw my suitcase and sandwiches on the floor and started for the door again．"Wait a minute，"Mom said．"You didn't have any clothes on when you arrived，and I want them back．"This infuriated me．I tore my clothes off-shoes，socks，underwear and all-and shouted，"Can I go now？""Yes，"my mom answered，"but once you close that door，don't expect to come back．"
I was so angry that I shut the door forcefully and stepped out of my home．Then I noticed down the street two neighbor girls walking toward our house．I was so shy that I saw the big spruce （云杉） tree in our yard and jumped under the low-hanging branches （树枝）．A pile of dried-up brown needles （针状物） were beneath the tree，and you can't imagine the pain those sharp needles caused to my body．
After I was sure the girls had passed by，I ran to the front door and knocked at it loudly．"It's Billy!Let me in!"
The voice behind the door answered，"Billy doesn't live here anymore．He ran away from home．"
Looking behind me to see if anyone else was coming down the street，I said，"Mom!I'm sorry．I'm still your son．Let me in!"The door opened and Mom's smiling face appeared．"Did you change your mind about running away？"she asked．"What's for supper？"I smiled back．

6．One Sunday，Nicholas，a teenager，went skiing at Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine．In the early afternoon，when he was planning to go home，a fierce snowstorm swept into the area．Unable to see far，he accidentally turned off the path．Before he knew it，Nicholas was lost，all alone!He didn't have food，water，a phone，or other supplies．He was getting colder by the minute．
Nicholas had no idea where he was．He tried not to panic．He thought about all of the survival shows he had watched on TV．It was time to put the tips he had learned to use．
He decided to stop skiing．There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put．The first thing he did was to find shelter from the freezing wind and snow．If he didn't，his body temperature would get very low，which could quickly kill him．
Using his skis，Nicholas built a snow cave．He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle．Then he piled branches on top of himself，like a blanket，to stay as warm as he could．
By that evening，Nicholas was really hungry．He ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so that his body wouldn't lose too much water．Not knowing how much longer he could last，Nicholas did the only thing he could-he huddled （蜷缩） in his cave and slept．
The next day，Nicholas went out to look for help，but he couldn't find anyone．He followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave，because without shelter，he could die that night．On Tuesday，Nicholas went out again to find help．He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him．After two days stuck in the snow，Nicholas was saved．
Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm had it not been for TV．He had often watched Grylls'survival show Man vs．Wild．That's where he learned the tips that saved his life．In each episode （一期节目）of Man vs．Wild，Grylls is abandoned in a wild area and has to find his way out．

1．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．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 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．Almost anyone，no matter how shy he is，will answer a question．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．And how he answers will let you know how far you can go．
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．
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 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 good-bye，you may give him a firm handshake and say，"I've really enjoyed meeting you．"If you want to see that person again，don't keep it a secret．Let people know what you feel，and they may walk away feeling as if they've known you half their life．

5．Asking questions might be a quite good and suitable wayC．
A．for you to make more and more new friends
B．to begin your business talks

D．for you to make a deep and lasting impression on others
6．After having asked somebody a question，it'll be polite of you toB．
A．make clear what kind of person he is
B．listen to his reply attentively
C．wait quietly and patiently for his answer
D．go on asking him more questions
7．Generally speaking，good talkers are persons whoD．
A．are good at making any topic interesting
B．never talk too much or too little
C．always speak in a gentle way
D．know how and when they should change the topic of the talk

A．you may take him as your lifelong trustworthy friend
B．it seems necessary for you to let him know it
C．it's proper for you to give him a second handshake
D．it'll be helpful for you to have further understanding of him．
