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 people feel relaxed 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 moment 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.
【小题1】Asking questions might be a quite good and suitable way _______.

Did you see snow in your hometown last winter? Did you feel it was warmer than before?

"There have been 21 warm winters in China since 1986," said scientists. They also said that in the past 100 years, as the global (全球的) temperatures went up by 0.74 °C , the temperature in North China has climbed 1.4 °C in only 50 years.

China needs to take quick action to cut carbon dioxide emission (排放)

because it's the main reason for global warming. The good news is that China has seen the importance of going green. China set the goal of cutting energy use by 20% and pollution emission by 10% in the 11th Five-Year Plan.

Can you slow down global warming? Sure! You and your family can take steps to cut the amount of carbon dioxide that is sent out into the air.

Here are some pieces of advice to help you save the earth..

Wear used clothes. Wearing your brother's, sister's or dad's old T-shirt means you save the energy.                                                                       

Change your light bulbs (灯泡). Use energy-saving light bulbs. And don't forget to turn off the lights when you leave a room and turn off your television and computer when they are not in use!

Ride the bus. Taking a bus saves a lot of oil every year.

Say no to plastic bags. The next time your parents go to the market, ask them to use baskets

Open a window. Don't use the air conditioner, and let some fresh air in. When you have to use the conditioner, set the temperature higher in the summer and lower in the winter to save energy.

Make small changes in your daily life. Don't use paper cups, bags and boxes.

It's time for all of us to do something to save the earth.

1. How many pieces of advice are there in this passage?

A. Three.         B. Four          C. Five.           D Six

2. Which of the following is true?

3. The passage is mainly about the ways to ____.

I asked many classmates and friends, “What do you think you will be when you grow up?”   1 of them told me what they would like to be in the future,    2   others said, “I don’t know.” I’m    3   to hear that because I think it’s bad. I think having dreams or hopes about the future will help us do better at school.
As middle school students, it’s time for us to    4   what we want to be in the future. If we know it better, we will know    5   to do it better at school. For example, if you are outgoing and like to meet people, you can be a   6   in the future. Then you should practice   7  more articles. If you’re happy with children and like    8  , you can teach English as a job in the future. And then you are supposed to work harder at English. If you want to    9   many interesting places, you can be a tour guide.
Of course, all the    10   that we are learning at school will be useful in the future, so we should work hard at all of them.
