26、ar 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 least means some things.

27、n. 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 parting. If you want to see that person again, don t keep it a secret. Let people

Plant breeders(培育者) are trying all the time to improve the old favorites. Frequently, the cha
33、nges are designed to meet the demands of the growers or packers. One very delicious family of peach varieties has nearly disappeared because it forms a small “beak“ at the bottom of the fruit.
