Some people make you feel comfortable when they are around. You spend an hour with them and feel as if you have known them half your life. 1.
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. 2. One well-known businesswoman says, "At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. It's a common question, but it will get things going." From there you can move on to other matters — sometimes to really personal questions. 3.
Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. This point seems clear, but it isn't. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully and attentively. 4. If someone sticks to one topic, you can take it as a fact that he's really interested in it. 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 how to deal with the occasion of parting. If you're saying good-bye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, "I've really enjoyed meeting you."5. Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if they've known you half their life.
A. You can become a popular person.
B. It’s polite to listen to others with a smile.
C. These people have something in common.
D. Real listening at least means some things.
E. If you want to see that person again, don't keep it a secret.
F. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.
G. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question.
Culture shock occurs when people have been suddenly thrown into a new culture. Newcomers may be anxious because they don’t speak the language. Neither do they know the customs or understand the people’s behavior in daily life.
Quite often the visitor find that “yes” may not always mean “yes”, that friendliness does not necessarily mean friendship, or that statements that appear to be serious are really intended as jokes. The foreigners may be unsure as when to shake hands, when to start conversations, or how to approach a stranger. The idea of culture shock helps explain feeling of puzzlement and confusion.
Language problems do not lead to all the setbacks that people feel. When one has lost everything that was once familiar, such as understanding a transportation system, knowing how to register(注册，登记) for university classes, or knowing how to make friends, difficulties in coping with the new society may arise.
When an individual enters a strange culture, he or she feels like a fish out of water. Newcomers feel at times that they do not belong to the culture and feel deserted by the native members of the culture. When this happens, visitors may want to refuse everything about the new environment and may glorify and sing their own praises of the positive aspects of their own culture. On the other side, more visitors may sneeze at their native country by rejecting its value and instead choosing to approve of the value of the new country. This may occur as an attempt to accept the new culture in order to be taken in by the people in it.
1.What do people feel when they are suddenly in a new culture?
A.Excited. B.Delighted. C.Upset. D.Hopeless.
2.We can infer from the second paragraph that _______.
A.it’s impossible to get used to a new culture
B.people feel confused due to culture shock
C.foreigners often don’t mean what they say
D.most foreigners are usually quite humorous
3.The underlined expression “he or she feels like a fish out of water” in the last paragraph suggests ______.
A.people away from their cultures can hardly survive in a new culture
B.a fish can not survive without water
C.people away from their culture experience mental loneliness.
D.people away from their culture have many difficulties in new environment
4.The biggest barrier(障碍) people often meet with in a new country is _____.
A.the language B.the transportation C.the environment D.the puzzlement
