Some people have a kind of magic. They will make you comfortable while they are around. You feel at ease while talking to them. 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 kind 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 topic of conversation. If someone insists on one topic, it means he"s really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to the voice. If the voice sounds bored, then, it"s time for you to change the topic.
Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the moment of saying good-bye. If you"re saying it, you may give him a 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 your thoughts.
小题1:Asking questions might be a quite good and suitable way ________.| A．for you to make more and more new friends | | B．to begin your business talks | | C．to get things going | | D．for you to make a deep and lasting impression on others |
小题2:After asking somebody a question, it"ll be polite of you to ________.| A．agree with what others say all the time | | B．listen to his reply attentively | | C．wait impatiently for his answer | | D．go on asking him more questions |
小题3:Generally speaking, good talkers are persons who ________.| A．are not good at making any topic interesting | | B．never talk too much or too little | | C．always speak in a gentle way | | D．know when they should change the topic of the talk |
小题4:If you really want to meet someone again, ________.| A．you may take him as your lifelong true 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 |

Many young people all over the world love to travel and see the world. Have you heard of backpackers? They are normally young people who travel cheaply with just one bag and comfortable walking boots. They buy local food in supermarkets to save money and at the same time become friends with local people.
Some people prefer adventure tours. Brave people may try bungee(蹦极) jumping from the bridge overlooking the Victoria Falls in Africa with only a rope around their legs. Some enjoy the challenge of rock climbing in the Alps in Switzerland. Others may go ice skiing in the Rocky Mountains in the USA.
Have you ever heard of an ecotourism (生态旅游)? It means a holiday in which people come close to nature but are very careful not to destroy the nature beauty or living things in the area. How can this be possible? Let"s read an interview with people who enjoyed a swimming with dolphins tour.
Interviewer what was the most exciting part of your holiday?

Interviewer Did you feel that your holiday helped local people and areas to keep their beautiful environment?
Jane from New Zealand The hotel and the whale and dolphin watching companies hire local people. They used to hunt those whales and dolphins, but now they can earn money from tourism and mustn’t kill whales and dolphins. Not many boats are used at the same time so these animals aren"t disturbed. The boat companies also work to educate the local schools about the importance of protecting these wonderful animals.
Helen from England I am glad they are not killing the whales and dolphins any more, but the cars and boats use fuel(燃料) which could cause pollution and make the sea dirtier.
Well, what do you think? Thousands of people visit the Forbidden City or the Great Wall of China every year. Do you think that"s a good thing, or do you feel that China"s important tourist attractions can be affected? Are there any ways of sharing your treasures (珍宝) but keeping them in good condition?

小题3:Sharon, Xavier, Jane and Helen think the tours are helpful EXCEPT________.| A．the hotel and the companies hire local people to help them earn money | | B．local people used to hunt and kill whales and dolphins but now they don"t | | C．not many boats are used at the same time so animals aren"t disturbed | | D．the cars and boats use fuel to cause pollution and make the sea dirtier |

Body language is quiet, secret and most powerful language of all. It speaks louder than words.
According to specialists, our bodies send out more messages than we realize. In fact, non-verbal(非语言) communication takes up about fifty percent of what we usually mean. And body language is especially important, when we try to communicate across cultures.
Indeed, what is called body language is so much a part of us that it’s actually often unnoticed. And misunderstandings happen as a result of it. For example, different cultures treat the distance between people differently. Northern Europeans usually do not like having bodily contact（接触）,even with friends. And certainly not with strangers. People from the Latin American countries, on the other hand, touch each other quite a lot. So it’s possible that in conversation it may look like a Latino is following a Norwegian (挪威人)all over the room. The Latino, trying to express friendship, will keep moving closer. The Norwegian, very probably seeing this as rude behavior, will keep backing away, which the Latino will in return regarded as coldness.
Obviously, a great deal is going on when people talk. And only a part of it is in the words themselves. And when parties are from different cultures, there’s a strong possibility of misunderstanding. But whatever the situation is, the best advice is to obey the golden rule: Treat others as you would like to be treated.
