Some of us a
9、re naturally outgoing, and its part of our personality; for others, it is simply painful and struggling to keep a conversation going on. Actually, making and promoting conversations is a skill that could be learned through practice. Here are some useful tips to start with. First, make eye contact. I
10、f youre in a social situation, such as at a party, try to make eye contact with the other people. 1Once youve established eye contact, give the other person a friendly, smiling look. If the other person holds your gaze, go over to them. Double points if they smile back! If they dont respond, let the
11、m go their way. 2Theres a difference between being “outgoing“ and “pushy.“ You dont want to force interaction on someone who isnt interested. This approach doesnt work well in situations where others do not commonly expect to be approached, such as while riding public transit. 3Part of being outgoin
12、g is knowing when and where to approach others and when to keep to yourself. 4 Second, ask open-ended questions. One way to be more outgoing in your conversations with others is to ask them open-ended questions. These questions invite others to respond with more than a “yes“ or “no.“ 5Its easier to
13、start up a chat with someone new if you encourage them to share about themselves. If youve already exchanged eye contact and smiles with someone, and youre close by, start off with a question. Here are some ideas: How do you like that book/magazine? 6What is your favorite thing to do around here? Wh
14、ere did you find that awesome t-shirt? 7Third, search for a commonality. First conversations between people are all about what the two parties mesh on. In order to find out what you can talk about, you have to probe for things you have in common. 8If you work together or have mutual friends or have
15、anything that links you together, problem solved. Talking about the boss or your friend Susan or that cooking class will open up further topics of discussion. If this person is a stranger, you could start with the scenario. 9For example, if youre in a book store, you could ask the other person for a
16、 favorite reading recommendation. If youre both stuck in a long line, you could make a joke about it. 10Offer a compliment, but be careful to avoid things that sound judgmental. For example, you could say you love the persons haircut and then ask where she/he got it done. Or you could say that youve
17、 been looking for a pair of sneakers like the ones the other persons wearing forever, and ask where she/he got them. 10Avoid things that are likely to seem offensive, such as comments on the persons size, skin color, or physical attractiveness. Feel free to try as hard as you want and enjoy becoming

20、 questions)，注意 open-ended一词有连字符 号。 【知识模块】 讲座 5 【正确答案】 share about themselves 【试题解析】 本题考查对大意的理解。录音解释道：多问开放性问题的好处在于能够鼓励不熟悉的人谈论、分享自己的感受和看法 (share about themselves)。 【知识模块】 讲座 6 【正确答案】 Favorite thing Favourite thing 【试题解析】 本题考查细节。录音中就开放性问题举了三个例子：如询问对方对某本书或某本杂志的看法。询问对方在附近最爱做的事情 (favorite thing to do)，或询问

Todays to
23、pic might speak to a lot of you here: Are you a people pleaser? Are you sick of being “too nice“? If you happen to be a people pleaser, then people are always taking advantage of you. Youre also probably not getting what you want out of life. Stop thinking about what would make others happy and focu
24、s on what you need. Its time to shift the focus from others to yourself. You could start with saying “no“. 1Dont make up excuses give your reasons for not wanting something. For example, your husband wants his entire family to come to Christmas dinner, and you just cant face it. 2Say, “Im sorry darl
25、ing, I find the pressure of entertaining such a large number of people intolerable.“ Your best friend wants you to go with him to a party that will be full of people that you cant stand? 3Say, “No thanks, Bob. Its just not my scene.“ You dont have to say “Seriously, Bob? Your friends are all jerks.“
26、 3A simple “no, thanks“ will generally suffice. Start small by finding something small to say “no“ to, 4and say it firmly. Say it politely, but mean it! Youll be surprised the world will not collapse around your ears! People rarely take offense, and those that do arent worth pleasing. 5Then, constan
27、tly evaluate your boundaries. Compare those to the limits you set on others. To what extent are you willing to restrict your openness to being used by others? What is acceptable behavior for you and what is unacceptable? Being able to analyze this factor allows you to measure what can be done for ot
28、hers and what shouldnt be done for others in a much more objective manner. Is that the same for you and for others? Do you accept the unacceptable? 6Tolerate the intolerable? Normalize the abnormal? 7Do you know what it feels like to be treated with dignity and respect? Learn how to identify and lab
29、el unacceptable treatment from others and how to set limits on their behavior when they violate your boundaries. 8Last but not least, stop basing your self-worth on how much you do for other people. Its noble that you want to help others, but its something you should do because you want to, not beca
30、use you feel you have to. The willingness to help others should come after you know how to help yourself. 9The greatest acts of kindness are those done by choice, not out of fear or guilt. If youre helping others to such an extent that you are neglecting yourself, is that really wise? 10And, if your
31、e doing things for others because you would feel bad if you didnt, is the action really genuine? Would you want others to help you for the same reason? Please remember: never think that the world around you will collapse if you fail to please a person. After all, it can be difficult to improve your
32、own life when youre too busy accommodating others. 【知识模块】 讲座 11 【正确答案】 making up 【试题解析】 本题考查对原文大意的理解及对细节的把握。录音在阐述第一个要点时提到：首先要学会对别人说 “不 ”，应该直接给出自己的理由 (give your reasons)而非编造借口 (make up excuses)。需要注意的是，由于前面有 instead of，故应用“-ing”形式。 【知识模块】 讲座 12 【正确答案】 entertain 【试题解析】 本题考查细节。录音在论述如何用合理的理由拒绝别人的要求时，举例说明
33、：当丈夫提出请全家人在家里过圣诞节时，妻子可以用 “招待一大家子人压力太大 ”(I find the pressure of entertainingintolerable) 的理由来拒绝。 【知识 模块】 讲座 13 【正确答案】 no， thanks 【试题解析】 本题考查对大意的理解。录音在第一个观点的例证和总结句中均提到，在拒绝别人时无须过分地评论或展开，简明扼要地说一句 “no， thanks”即可。注意 “no”和 “thanks”之间应有逗号。 【知识模块】 讲座 14 【正确答案】 politely 【试题解析】 本题考查细节。录音中提到，先从 “不 ”开始说起，要说得坚决；说
34、得要有礼貌，但很坚定。提纲中已出现 firmly，所以本题应填入 politely。 【知识模块】 讲座 15 【正确答案】 Evaluate 【试题解析】 本题考查考生对要点的把握。录音提出的第二个要点是 “经常性地审视自己的限度 ”(constantly evaluate your boundaries)，注意首字母要大写。 【知识模块】 讲座 16 【正确答案】 intolerable 【试题解析】 本题考查对信息的理解和整合。录音在论证 “审视自己的限度 ”时提出了一系列的 “扪心自问 ”，其中一个问题是：你是否能容忍那些难以容忍的事 ?(Tolerate the intolerabl
35、e?)三个并列的问题分别对应题目中的并列形容词unacceptable， intolerable， abnormal。 【知识模块】 讲座 17 【正确答案】 dignity and respect 【试题解析】 本题考查细节。继前面的一系列 “扪心自问 ”之后，演讲者继续提问：你是否知道 “被待以尊严和尊重 ”(to be treated with dignity and respect)是什么样的感觉 ? 【知识模块】 讲座 18 【正确答案】 self-worth 【试题解析 】 本题考查对信息的理解和整合。录音的第三个要点为：不要用 “自己能给别人多大的帮助 ”来定义自己的价值。而提纲
