25、s the first snow of winter. Up until now, I had been able to dress myself for recess(课间休息 ), but today I would need some help. Miss king, my kindergarten teacher, may still remember this one. I managed to get into my snow pants, but I struggled with my jacket because it did not fit well. It was a ha
26、nd-me-down from my brother. Finally it was time to have Miss King help me with my boots. She said, “By the end of winter, you will be able to put on your own boots. “ I handed her my boots, and she managed to get the first one into place and then worked the second one on, too. I said, “They are on t
27、he wrong feet. “ She struggled to get the boots off and tried again. Then I said, “These aren t my boots, they are my brother s boots and I hate them!“ Somehow, she managed to act as though I was not an annoying little girl. She pushed and shoved, less gently this time and the boots were returned to
28、 their proper place on my feet.

31、you feel comfortable when they are around. 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 11 help you put people at their ease, and make friends with them
32、 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 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
33、 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. 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
34、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 what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if they ve known you half their life. 62 Asking questions might be a quite good and su
35、itable way_. （ A） for you to make more and more new friends （ B） to begin your business talks （ C） to get the conversation going smoothly （ D） for you to make a deep and lasting impression on others 63 After having asked somebody a question, it 11 be polite of you to_. （ A） make clear what kind of p
36、erson he is （ B） listen to his reply attentively （ C） wait quietly and patiently for his answer （ D） go on asking him more questions 64 Generally speaking, good talkers are persons who_. （ A） are good at making any topic interesting （ B） never talk too much or too little （ C） always speak in a gentl
37、e way （ D） know how and when he should change the topic of the talk 65 If you really take delight in meeting someone again, _. （ A） you may take him as your lifelong trustworthy 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
38、11 be helpful for you to have further understanding of him 65 We experience different forms of the sun s energy every day. The sun is the major source of energy for our planet. It causes the evaporation(蒸发 )of water from the oceans and lakes. Sunlight also provides the energy used by green plants to
39、 make their own food. Much of the energy that comes from the sun never reaches the earth s surface. It is either reflected or absorbed by the gases in the upper atmosphere. Of the energy that reaches the lower atmosphere , 30% is reflected by clouds or the earth s surface. The remaining 70% warms th
40、e surface of the planet, causes water to evaporate, and provides energy for the water cycle and weather. Only a tiny part, approximately 0. 023% , is actually used by green plants to produce food. Many gases found in the atmosphere actually reflect heat energy escaping from the earth s surface back
41、to the earth. These gases act like the glass of a greenhouse in that they allow energy from the sun to enter but prevent energy form leaving. They are therefore called greenhouse gases. When sunlight strikes an object, some of the energy is absorbed and some is reflected. The amount reflected depend
42、s on the surface. Dark-colored surfaces, such as dark soil or forest, absorb more energy. 66 According to the passage, the root cause for weather changes on the earth is_ . （ A） the atmosphere surrounding the earth （ B） water from oceans and lakes （ C） energy from the sun （ D） greenhouse gases in th
43、e sky 67 Only a small part of the sun s energy reaches the earth s surface because most of it is_. （ A） absorbed by the clouds in the lower atmosphere （ B） reflected by the gases in the upper atmosphere （ C） lost in the upper and lower atmosphere （ D） used to evaporate water from the oceans and lake
44、s 68 We learn from the passage that_. （ A） all living things on the earth depend on the sun for their food （ B） a forest looks dark in winter because it absorbs solar energy （ C） only 0.023 of the energy from the sun is made use of on the earth （ D） greenhouse gases allow heat energy to escape from
45、the earth s surface 68 Most of you would probably say that what makes you truly happy is your family and the love you share in your relationships, and I couldnt agree more. But money comes into play in those relationships. When I talk about money this way to a group, there is always someone who come
46、s up to me and says, “Suze, you are so wrong. Money isnt the key to life this is“At which point their wallet flies open and they show me a photo of their family. Thats when things get interesting, because I start asking them questions: Did you take that photo with your own camera? It looks like a be
47、autiful beach, was the photo taken on a family vacation? Do you hope to help those beautiful boys and girls go to college? As their answers are “yes“ , I ask them how they provide all of that for their family. Thats when they understand that I had it right. I totally agree that family and friends ar
48、e of great importance to our well being; without meaningful relationships, theres no chance of ever being truly happy. Thats why, every Saturday night, I end my CNBC show with the following words:“People first. Then money. Then things. “ How we deal with the money we have also plays into our happine
49、ss. Over the past few decades (十年 ), the percentage of Americans who say theyre happy hasnt changed much, while at the same time the average income has doubled. So we have more money, but were not much happier on average. A paradox(悖论 )? Far from it. My sense is that while were making more money, we are
