25、n. 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 ho
26、w shy he is, will answer a question. 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. And to find out what sort of person you are talking to, you really have to listen carefully and attentively. Real listening at lea
27、st means some things. First it means not to change the subject of the conversation. 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 now to deal with the occasion of p
28、arting. 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. 56 Asking questions might be a quite good and suitable way_. （ A） for you to make more and more new friends （ B） to begin your

Preston
32、, a sociologist at the University of Pennsylvania, studied how the American family is changing. He reported that by the time the average American couple reaches 40 years of age, they have more parents than children. This finding shows the change in lifestyles (生活方式 ) and duties of aging Americans. T
33、he average middle-aged couple can look forward to caring for elderly parents some time after their own children have grown up. Because Americans are living longer than ever, more researchers and social workers have begun to study care giving to improve care of the elderly. When people care for an el
34、derly relative, they often do not use community (社区 ) services, such as adult (成人 ) daycare centres. If the care givers are adult children, they are more likely to use such services, especially because they often have jobs and other business. However, the wife of an elderly person is much less likel
35、y to use support services or to put the dependent person in a nursing home. Social workers discovered that the reason for this difference was fear of becoming poor. An ill elderly person may live for years, and medical care and nursing homes are very expensive. An elderly couples savings can disappe
36、ar very quickly. The other half, usually the wife, can be left in poor living conditions. As a result, she often tries to take care of her husband herself for as long as she can. 60 An example of changes in American lifestyles is that_. （ A） they prefer to have more children （ B） the elderly like li

A same gesture may have distinct meanings in different countries. For instance, in Africa, people knock at the table with their fingers to call waiters which is con
46、sidered as impolite in China. In western countries, if you make a circle with your thumb and the index finger (食指 ), and then raise the other three fingers, you are suggesting “OK“. The same gesture, however, means “money“ in Japan while makes Brazilian people feel insulted (受侮辱的 ). With that in min
47、d, youd better learn about their custom before travelling to foreign countries. Greeting is an important part of communication between people. When greeting someone, Americans tend to hold out their hands and look directly into his/her eyes and then smile. However, sometimes such behavior might brin
48、g nothing but misunderstanding in other countries. A handshake might not be accepted and looking others right in the eye can have different meanings. Asian people regard physical contact as embarrassing; therefore, they do not shake hands. They have their own ways of greeting people. For Japanese, a
49、 slight bow of the head is enough. In Korea, women do not shake hands or hug with people; while men might shake hands accompanied by nodding the head once. In western Asia, Muslims do not make body contacts with women yet hug is generally accepted among men. Same thing happens on eye contact. In many countries, people avoid direct eye contac
