There were some iron tables outside with plastic chairs around them. A few people sat around, looking at a portabl
26、e television set that someone had brought out of the bar. They were all in thin summer dresses or short shirts; even at that late hour it was stifling. Two thin dogs lay under one of the tables with their tongues out, and some of the women were fanning themselves unenthusiastically (无精打采地 ) with mag
27、azines. “He s not here,“ I said, after a quick look around.

32、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. And how he answers will let you know how far you c
33、an 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 least means some things. First it means not to change the subject of the conversation. Rea
34、l 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 parting. If you want to see that person again, don t keep it a secret. Let people know w

39、 his outdoor clothes, they head for the park to watch birds and play on the grass.

He is a nanny (保姆 ) a man nanny, obviously, interestingly te
40、rmed a “manny“ specially trained and in his third nannying position. At 27, he cares for Thomas, and another boy of a similar age. “Its much freer than an office job,“ he says, “and youre getting to see children develop and grow. You become very close to them, for sure. I dont think Im special or be
41、tter than a woman nanny; everyone has their own method. But Im unusual. Friends laughed when I started studying nursery nursing. In my class, I was the only man among 70 women.

42、anging. In the United States, parents are employing young mannies, sometimes to care for babies, but more often as active role models to get junior away from the TV and the computer.

Well, three years down the road, and the UNDPs yearly collection of facts and figures already shows that if we carry on as we are
48、, the only goal likely to be met is that for reducing poverty by a half, and that is entirely due to the success of one country-China. It is so vast that the fast-growing economy in China lifts millions of people above the poverty line, even though in Africa, Latin America and the former Soviet Unio
49、n, people have actually been getting poorer. Otherwise, progress is good only in parts. East Asia should meet its goal of reducing hunger by a half by 2015, and Latin America and the Caribbean are not far behind, but at the present speed of progress, Africa and South Asia wont get there for another hundred years.
