We should know how to avoid illnesses. Keeping hands clean are one of the most basic ways to prevent illnesses, especial when COVID-19 is widely spreading. Yesterday I taught my 3-year-old sister what to wash hands properly. Firstly, I made her to wet her hands under running water and apply soap to them. After she rubbed her hands well with soap to at least twenty second, I told her to wash off all of the soap. Lastly, I gave him a clean towel to dry her hands. She was very glad but showed me her clean hands. Look at her smiling face, I felt so happy that I gave her new storybook.
It was a bitter, cold evening in Virginia years ago. An old man was waiting for a ride _______the river. The wait seemed _______. His body became stiff from the chilly wind.
_______, he watched as several horsemen approached. He let the first one pass by without an effort to attract his _______. Then another passed by, and another. Finally, as the last rider _______ him, the old man _______ the rider’s eye and said, “Sir, would you mind giving an old man a ride to the other side? ”
Pausing his horse, the rider replied, “Sure! Hop aboard.” Seeing the old man _______ to lift his half-frozen body from the ground, the horseman helped him _______ the horse.
As they got close to the destination, the horseman’s _______ caused him to ask, “Sir, I’m curious why? On such a bitter winter night, I ________ that you let several other riders pass by. You would wait and ask the last rider. ________ I had refused and left you there?”
The old man replied, “I ________ the eyes of the other riders and immediately saw there was no ________ for my situation. It was ________ to ask them for a ride. But when I met your eyes, ________ was obvious. I knew, your gentle spirit would give me ________ in my time of need.”
Those heartwarming comments ________ the horseman deeply. “I’m most grateful for what you have said,” he told the old man. “May I never get too ________ in my own affairs that I fail to respond to the ________ of others with kindness.” With that, Thomas Jefferson turned his horse around and ________ his way to the White House.

Small talk is stressful for even the most easy-going people. 1. Below, small-talk experts share their best advice on developing good chatting skills.
Ask questions.
The key to good small talk is asking the other person a lot of questions. But avoid rapid-fire questions. 2. Be sure to express your own feelings in response to what they share.
Avoid conversation starters like “How have you been?”
You could not ask a more awkward question. A better way to produce meaningful conversation is to add “What is new in your life since the last time I saw you?
Avoid one-word answers.
3. When someone asks you a question, give them something to talk about with you, not a word or two. Fine said, if someone asks you, “How was your summer?”, you can answer, for instance. My summer was great. I’m excited about my vegetable garden. That will give the person something else to ask you about.
4.
Your facial expression and body language should let the other person know you’re truly listening to them. A recent study showed that people who used hand or head gestures received responses to their questions faster than those who didn’t.
Small talk may help you connect with someone new with whom you want to have a more serious talk. 5.
A.You don’t have to be a reporter.
B.Don’t worry about it too much, though.
C.You could not ask a more inconvenient question.
D.It’s the first step to any meaningful relationship.
E.Use your hands to keep the conversation flowing.
F.Don’t be a disappointing person in a conversation.
G.You should make a conversation with people you like.
