Remembering names is an important social skill．Here are some ways to master it．

Recite and repeat in conversation．

　 When you hear a person’s name，repeat it．Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips．You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial．

　 Ask the other person to recite and repeat．

　 You can let other people help you remember their names．After you’ve been introduced to someone，ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you．Most people will be pleased by the effort you’re making to learn their names．

　 Admit(承认) you don’t know．

　 Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed．Most of them will feel sympathy if you say．“I’m working to remember names better．Yours is right on the tip of my tongue．What is it again?”

　 Use associations(联系)．

　 Link each person yon meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual．For example，you could make a mental note: "Vicki Cheng -- tall, black hair. " To reinforce you’re your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.

　 Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.

　 When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.

　 Go early.

　 Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. That's fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others -- an automatic review for you.

In the U．S．，the public has tended to believe that all motorcycles are ridden by wild，irresponsible lawless young men．

There are several things about motorcycling that the average citizen dislikes．A cyclist's appearance has something to do with this dislike．Motorcyclists frequently look dirty；in fact，they are dirty．0n the road there is little to protect them from mud，crushed insects and bird droppings．For practical reasons they are often dressed in old clothing which looks much less respectable than the clothing of people who ride in cars．For the same reason motorcyclists usually wear dark colors．Perhaps this helps to explain why they are sometimes suspected of having evil natures. In old plays of long ago，evil characters usually wore black. In cowboy movies the“bad guys”usually wear black hats while the “good guys” wear lighter colors．Something else about their appearance makes an unfavorable impression． In their practical，protective clothing they look very much like the men on military motorcycles in the movies of World War II—cruel enemies who roared into peaceful villages filling people's hearts with fear．

Probably the machine itself also produces anger and fear． Motorcycles are noisy，though some big trucks are even noisier．But trucks are big and carry heavy loads；they are accepted(if not really welcomed)because they perform a needed service，making America move．Motorcycles，on the other hand，make all unpleasant noise just to give their riders pleasure．That is what is commonly thought．In the woods motorcycles，frighten animals．Roaring along quiet streets,they wake sleeping families and make babies cry．

Of course the danger of motorcycling，also helps account for many people's low opinion of the sport．Its defenders,however，claim that careful cyclists are in less danger than commonly behaved．

A cyclist must drive as if everybody around him wanted to kill him．He must pay careful attention to his driving．From that point of view，a man on a motorcycle is safer than，a man in a car.
