　　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(音调)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．

　　I am always eager to do experiments, especially chemistry ones．It’s 　　1　　 to work with test tubes and beakers , even though sometimes my efforts end in failure．Experiments were fun for me 　　2　　 a recent accident．

　　The accident happened when I was heating a big test tube with an alcohol burner , chatting to my partner．All of a sudden, the tube cracked．Even though I jumped from my seat when I heard the crack, the hair on my forehead was burnt as I was leaning too close to the test tube．

　　 　　3　　 I had no time to be sad about my hair：the liquid in the test tube poured onto the table and caught fire．I’d never 　　4　　 anything so bad! My mind went blank for a moment．Then I quickly covered the fire with a damp cloth to put it out．

　　The teacher told me that the test tube broke in half at the bottom because we didn’t dry it properly before 　　5　　 it．

　　We calmed down and did the experiment, again．But our hearts were still 　　6　　 rapidly even after we walked out of the lab．

　　But my bad luck didn’t end there! Since all our 　　7　　 was focused on the flames while we were in the lab, I didn’t see the liquid falling onto my trousers．

　　During the following class, I felt a pain in my leg．Soon it became more and mere painful and I touched the area with my fingers, 　　8　　 to make things better．But to my great 　　9　　, the material of my trousers turned into powder!“Vitriol!!!The terrible word came into my mind．I rushed out right away to wash and examine my poor skin．”　　10　　, it was not a serious injury．

　　After changing my trousers I thought it’s very important to have a serious attitude in chemistry class．Doing scientific experiments as a learner is no laughing matter．
