How to Start and Keep a Good Conversation Going[来源:学+科+网]
How to Start a good conversation
＂Hi, my name is Sara.＂ ＂I’ m Frank. Nice to meet you.＂
Introductions, like the one above, are a great way to begin a good conversation. When you introduce yourself, be confident and comfortable. That will make others comfortable, too. After the introduction, wait a bit. If the other person doesn’t ask a question, you ask one. Starting with a question shows interest in the other person. You could ask＂What do you do?＂ or ＂How do you know our host?＂ But asking something a little different shows you are clearly different. ＂What did you do last weekend?＂ and ＂Have you seen any good movies recently?＂ are two topics you could ask about. Another good way to start with is＂Tell me about yourself. ＂Most people love talking about themselves.
How to keep a good conversation going
As the other person begins to answer your question, look for the same opinion. If you ask about last weekend, the person could talk about a bike ride they took. When the person finishes his opinions, you could mention an experience that you had with biking. You can then move on to discussing other sports the person may be interested in.
When the other person is talking, be interested in them. Listen carefully to their answers. Don’t look around the room. That gives the other person the message that you are not really interested in them.
If you are answering the question, don’t go on and on. Answer the question and then stop. A good conversation is like a tennis game where the ball goes back and forth.
With some practice, you’ll be able to start and keep a conversation going with anyone!
76. How do you show interest in the other person after the introduction?
77. Why is it good to start a conversation with＂ Tell me about yourself. ＂?
78. What can you do when the other person begin to answer your question?[来源:Z_xx_k.Com]
79. Why can’t you look around the room when the other person is talking?
80. What is your good way to keep a good conversation going?(请自拟一句话作答)

Recently, Chongqing Three Gorges University has held an activity named ＂Cell Phone Ninja＂ (手机忍者). They would like their students not to use cell phones for 21 days. It is really a challenge (挑战) for most students.
The activity started on April 12. Each student who volunteered to take part in this activity got a bracelet (手环). If the students did not use their cell phones, there would be a photo on the screen of the bracelet to show that. If they used their cell phones, a different photo would appear on the screen of the bracelet. After the last class of each day, the students sent the photos to the school’s public WeChat.
More than 800 students wished to take part in this test, and 400 were chosen. After seven days, only 103 students remained. The test was set for 21 days because some scientists believe that 21 days is long enough to help form(形成) a habit.
According to the teachers in the university, the activity was not a competition. It depended on students themselves to make the decision. The teachers hoped their students could form better study habits through activities like this one.

＂Jamila, I just found one dollar sitting on the coffee table,＂ said Mrs. Johnson. ＂Is that your money?＂
Jamila looked up from the book she was reading. ＂Oops, it’s mine. I emptied my jacket pockets before I left for basketball practice yesterday. I was running late, so I didn’t have time to take it up to my room.＂ Jamila placed it quickly in the back of her book and went back to reading.
＂Jamila, you just put that money into the back of your book. I’ m quite sure that you’ re not going to be able to find it when you need it,＂ her mother said. ＂You see, some of your money is in the pencil case on your desk. Some is in the glove hanging behind the door. I think you might also have a few dollars in your bag. You are such a careless girl.＂
＂Mom. I’ m too busy to take care of my money.＂
Mrs. Johnson smiled, ＂It looks like it’s time for you to get your own bank account (账户).＂
＂My own bank account? Is it necessary? Kids know little about it.＂ Jamila replied.
The next day, Mrs. Johnson took Jamila to a bank and opened an account for her. The banking manager explained how the money in the account would increase. ＂The longer the money stays in the account , the more it will earn(获利),＂ he added .
Jamila was surprised to learn that she could earn money just by keeping her money in a bank account. ＂I wish I had done this a long time ago.＂
53. Where did Mrs. Johnson find Jamila’s one dollar?
54. Why was Jamila thought a careless girl?
55. Do you want to have your own bank account? Why or why not?

Mr. Reynolds, my teacher, handed us a list of thoughts, and asked us to write a paper on one of those thoughts. I chose the topic I wonder why things are the way they are.
I wrote down all the questions that puzzled(困扰) me about life. I realized that many of them were hard to answer, and perhaps others could not be answered at all. When I handed in my paper, I was afraid that I might fail because I did not answer the questions.
The next day, Mr. Reynolds handed me the paper and asked me to read it for the class. The other students became quiet as I began to read my story:
Mum, why are the roses red? Why is the grass green and the sky blue? Why do I have to graduate(毕业) ? Why do I have to grow up? Why do I have to be called Grandma" one day?.. Dad, why can't I stay out until 12: OO? Why do I miss my old friends? Why do 1 miss being at home? Why do you love me so much?
Mum, Dad, why did you have to leave me? I need you.
At the end of my story, I looked at Mr. Reynolds, and I saw a tear slowly coming down his face. Then I realized that life is not built on the answers we receive but on the questions we ask.

Answer the questions(根据以下内容回答问题)(12分)
It was Saturday again. Grace and Karen disliked Saturdays. That was another thing the twins had in common. They shared the same clothes and tied their hair in the same manner. In fact, it was hard for their classmates and teachers to tell them apart sometimes.
Unlike their classmates, they had to get up early at seven every Saturday to prepare for their lessons. Grace had to attend the art lesson and Karen had to attend her ballet lesson. ＂How I wish I could do something different today,＂ said the twins with one voice. All at once, an idea came to Grace and Karen at the same time. ＂How would you like to be me for a day?＂ they asked each other. It seemed like a wonderful plan to them. After giving each other a description of their own friends, Grace put on Karen’s ballet dress while Karen put Grace’s brushes and paints into her bag. Then they left for their classes.
When the art lesson started, Karen was lost. Unlike Grace, Karen was poor at drawing. When the art lesson finally ended, Karen didn’t dare to hand in her work.
Meanwhile, Grace was struggling in the ballet class as well. As she had no idea about the dance steps, she had to follow her classmates blindly. As a result, she kept knocking into them. Their ballet teacher became impatient with her, ＂Karen, you should remember the basic steps. You can’t rely on copying what others are doing.＂
When Karen and Grace got home, they were tired out. They decided that they would never try to be someone else they were not. It seemed that the grass was not always greener on the other side.
88. Did Grace and Karen like Saturdays?
89. When did the twins get up on Saturdays?
90. What was the twins’ plan when they decided to do something different?
91. How did Karen feel at the beginning of the art lesson?
92. Why did the ballet teacher become impatient?
93. What does the underlined part ＂the grass was not always greener on the other side＂ at the end of the story try to tell us?

Hi, my name is Evan and being the eldest child in the family surely has its disadvantages. First of all, I have to share all my toys and games with my younger Siblings, William and Julia. Of course, they don’t need to return the favour because I’m totally uninterested in their things. Besides that, Julia and William are always hanging around me. It’s especially annoying when I have a friend over. We look for a secluded place in the house where they can’t disturb(打扰) us, but within minutes, they’ve found us and are asking to join in. I just can’t seem to get a moment’s peace. At meal times, I have to eat whatever is on my plate regardless of the portion size or taste. William and Julia only need to try one bite when it’s not their favorite food. Not only this, but I’m expected to be cooperative (合作的,配台的) at all times because I’m the oldest and need to be a role model for them.
It doesn’t seem fair either that I have more chores to do around the house than Julia and William put together. Plus, when it comes to practising our musical instruments, I have to practise more than double the time. Oh, and the worst part of it all is the huge quantities of homework I get compared to them.
I’m feeling rather annoyed with my sibling situation. Can you please write back with some advice?
Yours truly,
Evan Smith
21. How many children are there in Evan’s family?
22. What does the underlined phrase ＂a secluded place＂ mean in Chinese?
23. Why is Evan expected to be cooperative at all times?
24. How did Evan feel when he wrote this letter?
25. Evan thinks many things unfair, but in fact some of them are not his brother and sister’s fault. List 2 of the unfair things.

Book Review by Patricia Ann Turner
It is school holiday time and Mitch Morrow’s family have just moved to a new home
In a new place. Mitch can’t stop worrying about what his new school is going to be like. He
is not even sure about the neighbours. Next door live the Bull family and they have two children, Di and Bruce.
The older of the two, Bruce, is a large boy, about Mitch’s age. Mitch. Watches him carry big rocks. He looks really strong and unkind. Mitch gives him the name Bruiser(彪形大汉)
because he has a black eye. Did he get it in a fight? Mitch imagines all the worst possible things about Bruiser. He is probably the class bully (恶霸). In his mind Mitch thinks of him as the enemy.
Things seem to get more worrying for Mitch. He finds out he will be in the same class as Bruiser. Then on the first day of school he learns that Bruiser is his buddy for the day.
This is a lovely story for young readers to read or listen to. It has a wonderful message for all children about facing their fears —real and imagined.
The pictures in the book catch the worry Mitch feels and make Bruiser really look like a bad guy.
My only complaint is the colour of the printing of the text. Why there are pages of different coloured print I cannot tell. They may create problems for children with poor eyesight.
I give it four stars.
53. Who is the book Watch out for Bruiser for?
54. What does Mitch imagine Bruce to be?
55. After reading the book review, do you think the book is worth reading? Why or why not?

In Jinzhong, Shanxi Province, there is a group of people who are busy drawing maps around. They are not workers on geography, but dispatchers(调度员) on Emergency(急救) Center of the city.
Since 2007, the dispatchers in the center have been drawing maps of the local areas.
“A dispatcher’s job is counted in seconds,” says Liang Ruimei, a dispatcher in the center. She has been working in the center since it started in 2007. “We must answer the phone in 3 seconds, get clear information about the patient in 60 seconds and dispatch(调度) emergency medical workers in 3 minutes at most. If we save one second, the patient may have a better chance to live.”
Although nowadays the center has electronic maps, the dispatchers still walk through the streets to draw maps by hand.
After many years’ hard work, the dispatchers keep every building and street of the city in mind. They even know whether or not a car can enter the gate of a building. Sometimes the caller can’t tell clearly where he is, but it doesn’t matter. As long as he describes the buildings around, the dispatcher can dispatch emergency medical workers to him.
“We are trying to be quicker than Death,” says Liang.

Hi there!
I’m here to help with any of your problems, whether at school or at home.
Sophia
@ Dr. Wang
What should say to my little brother?
My problem is terrible.
My mum gave us a new baby a couple of years ago. We were really happy then, but this lovely baby has grown up!
He seems to have too much energy, and never stops running or shouting. The door doesn’t help at all—he’ll be knocking at it for ages. I can’t study at home. I really can’t stand this, but what should I say to four-year-old boy? And my parents are around him all the time. They seem to forget everything about me. How I miss those sweet old days when we could just sit in the sofa!
Can you help me out?
Dr. Wang
@ Sophia
That’s a common complaint. I know how awful it is when someone keeps knocking at the door, but doesn’t that mean the little one wants to stay with you? Just as you want to have your parents around, he needs your attention! If this doesn’t make you feel better, ask your parents for some help. Just have a talk with your parents. Ask them to calm our little brother down or take him out when you are doing your homework. And tell them that you also need their attention!
Family life might not always be as sweet as those old days. Sometimes we have to wait until what troubles us today becomes part of those sweet old days.

Students in the US don’t begin their spring break at the same time. It depends on where they live. While students from one town are on vacation, their neighbors in the next town may have classes as usual.
You may have heard of it from many hit US TV shows and movies. It’ s usually in the middle of March, when characters on shows like Gossip Girl get a week off from classes, go to the beach and throw big parties. It’s spring break or＂party time＂!
Unlike our semester, which starts in late February or early March this year, American schools begin as early as January. So in late March and April, most American schools, ranging from kindergartens to colleges, give students one to two weeks off school.
College students often take planes to places like Florida or Cancun, Mexico. They relax on the beach, enjoy cold drinks and get a tan.
Younger kids take trips with their parents, visiting a new state or even a new country. Sometimes teachers lead overseas trips for groups of students. On a ten-day trip, for example, students may go on a tour through Spain, France, and Italy, which gives them a great chance to see different parts of the world.
Having a ＂staycation＂, which means being a tourist in your own city, is another popular trend (趋势). You can visit local art galleries (美术馆), museums or have a big meal in a nice restaurant.
For those who are not in the mood to go out, spring break is a good time to catch up with hit TV series or play video games.
There are also students who want a different kind of spring break experience. Instead of partying, they choose to do community service, help with disaster-hit areas and do other volunteering work.
No matter how they’ve spent the break, one thing is for sure — students return to school feeling refreshed (恢复活力的) and ready to finish the school year.
1. Students in the US begin their spring break at a different time, don’t they?
.
2. How long does the spring break usually last?

3. Where do college students often go during the spring break?

4. What’s the advantage of having a spring break?

根据短文内容回答下列问题。
Each and every year, during Chongyang Festival, citizens of China celebrate the elders in their families and communities. It’s a special tradition which is rooted in the deep value that Chinese culture places on honoring their elders.
Sadly, many of our aging population are seniors without sons, daughters or grandchildren to visit. While they may have great friends, they no doubt miss the tender and loving relationships unique to families. To fill this void(空虚), many volunteers turned up on October 28 at nursing homes around the country in order to spend time with the residents. In some cases, they performed humble(谦逊的) gestures of kindness, such as combing their hair or washing their feet.
While the kind acts were appreciated, one embarrassing story out of Anhui province raised a valuable question. Reportedly, one old gentleman had his feet washed seven times during the day by different volunteers. Is this genuinely(真诚地) caring for the elderly? Many of the residents at the home said that those gestures do not make them feel cared for at all. Their family members or community volunteers may drop by for a few hours of token time, but soon they disappear back into their busy lives.
There is nothing we can give that is more valuable or appreciated than our time. While you may feel like there is barely enough time to care for your many responsibilities, might it be possible to spare just a moment as you walk home from school to sit with a senior who lives in your community? Just five minutes is not going to prevent you from getting your homework done, but it may totally change a day of loneliness into a day of joy for one old man or woman. Do you live far from your grandparents? Why not pick up the phone and let them know you’ re thinking of them? Or maybe you could remind them of the ＂good old days＂ and mail them a short letter. Imagine their surprise and joy!
We live in a complicated(复杂的) and busy world, but kindness and caring is still a very simple thing.
6. People in China celebrate the elders at Chongyang Festival, don’t they?

7. Who appeared at nursing homes to spend time with the residents?

10. What did the family members of the residents at the home do?

11. Have you been to any nursing homes before? What did you do for the residents there? If you haven’t, please tell us what you did for the elders around you in the past.

Mr. Reynolds, my teacher, handed us a list of thoughts, and asked us to write a paper on one of those thoughts. I chose the topic I wonder why things are the way they are.
I wrote down all the questions that puzzled(困扰) me about life. I realized that many of them were hard to answer, and perhaps others could not be answered at all. When I handed in my paper, I was afraid that I might fail because I did not answer the questions.
The next day, Mr. Reynolds handed me the paper and asked me to read it for the class. The other students became quiet as I began to read my story:
Mum, why are the roses red? Why is the grass green and the sky blue? Why do I have to graduate(毕业) ? Why do I have to grow up? Why do I have to be called Grandma" one day?.. Dad, why can't I stay out until 12: OO? Why do I miss my old friends? Why do 1 miss being at home? Why do you love me so much?
Mum, Dad, why did you have to leave me? I need you.
At the end of my story, I looked at Mr. Reynolds, and I saw a tear slowly coming down his face. Then I realized that life is not built on the answers we receive but on the questions we ask.

Answer the questions(根据以下内容回答问题)(12分)
It was Saturday again. Grace and Karen disliked Saturdays. That was another thing the twins had in common. They shared the same clothes and tied their hair in the same manner. In fact, it was hard for their classmates and teachers to tell them apart sometimes.
Unlike their classmates, they had to get up early at seven every Saturday to prepare for their lessons. Grace had to attend the art lesson and Karen had to attend her ballet lesson. ＂How I wish I could do something different today,＂ said the twins with one voice. All at once, an idea came to Grace and Karen at the same time. ＂How would you like to be me for a day?＂ they asked each other. It seemed like a wonderful plan to them. After giving each other a description of their own friends, Grace put on Karen’s ballet dress while Karen put Grace’s brushes and paints into her bag. Then they left for their classes.
When the art lesson started, Karen was lost. Unlike Grace, Karen was poor at drawing. When the art lesson finally ended, Karen didn’t dare to hand in her work.
Meanwhile, Grace was struggling in the ballet class as well. As she had no idea about the dance steps, she had to follow her classmates blindly. As a result, she kept knocking into them. Their ballet teacher became impatient with her, ＂Karen, you should remember the basic steps. You can’t rely on copying what others are doing.＂
When Karen and Grace got home, they were tired out. They decided that they would never try to be someone else they were not. It seemed that the grass was not always greener on the other side.
88. Did Grace and Karen like Saturdays?
89. When did the twins get up on Saturdays?
90. What was the twins’ plan when they decided to do something different?
91. How did Karen feel at the beginning of the art lesson?

Hi, my name is Evan and being the eldest child in the family surely has its disadvantages. First of all, I have to share all my toys and games with my younger Siblings, William and Julia. Of course, they don’t need to return the favour because I’m totally uninterested in their things. Besides that, Julia and William are always hanging around me. It’s especially annoying when I have a friend over. We look for a secluded place in the house where they can’t disturb(打扰) us, but within minutes, they’ve found us and are asking to join in. I just can’t seem to get a moment’s peace. At meal times, I have to eat whatever is on my plate regardless of the portion size or taste. William and Julia only need to try one bite when it’s not their favorite food. Not only this, but I’m expected to be cooperative (合作的,配台的) at all times because I’m the oldest and need to be a role model for them.
It doesn’t seem fair either that I have more chores to do around the house than Julia and William put together. Plus, when it comes to practising our musical instruments, I have to practise more than double the time. Oh, and the worst part of it all is the huge quantities of homework I get compared to them.
I’m feeling rather annoyed with my sibling situation. Can you please write back with some advice?
Yours truly,
Evan Smith

Book Review by Patricia Ann Turner
It is school holiday time and Mitch Morrow’s family have just moved to a new home
In a new place. Mitch can’t stop worrying about what his new school is going to be like. He
is not even sure about the neighbours. Next door live the Bull family and they have two children, Di and Bruce.
The older of the two, Bruce, is a large boy, about Mitch’s age. Mitch. Watches him carry big rocks. He looks really strong and unkind. Mitch gives him the name Bruiser(彪形大汉)
because he has a black eye. Did he get it in a fight? Mitch imagines all the worst possible things about Bruiser. He is probably the class bully (恶霸). In his mind Mitch thinks of him as the enemy.
Things seem to get more worrying for Mitch. He finds out he will be in the same class as Bruiser. Then on the first day of school he learns that Bruiser is his buddy for the day.
This is a lovely story for young readers to read or listen to. It has a wonderful message for all children about facing their fears —real and imagined.
The pictures in the book catch the worry Mitch feels and make Bruiser really look like a bad guy.
My only complaint is the colour of the printing of the text. Why there are pages of different coloured print I cannot tell. They may create problems for children with poor eyesight.
I give it four stars.
53. Who is the book Watch out for Bruiser for?
54. What does Mitch imagine Bruce to be?
55. After reading the book review, do you think the book is worth reading? Why or why not?

In Jinzhong, Shanxi Province, there is a group of people who are busy drawing maps around. They are not workers on geography, but dispatchers(调度员) on Emergency(急救) Center of the city.
Since 2007, the dispatchers in the center have been drawing maps of the local areas.
“A dispatcher’s job is counted in seconds,” says Liang Ruimei, a dispatcher in the center. She has been working in the center since it started in 2007. “We must answer the phone in 3 seconds, get clear information about the patient in 60 seconds and dispatch(调度) emergency medical workers in 3 minutes at most. If we save one second, the patient may have a better chance to live.”
Although nowadays the center has electronic maps, the dispatchers still walk through the streets to draw maps by hand.
After many years’ hard work, the dispatchers keep every building and street of the city in mind. They even know whether or not a car can enter the gate of a building. Sometimes the caller can’t tell clearly where he is, but it doesn’t matter. As long as he describes the buildings around, the dispatcher can dispatch emergency medical workers to him.
“We are trying to be quicker than Death,” says Liang.

Hi there!
I’m here to help with any of your problems, whether at school or at home.
Sophia
@ Dr. Wang
What should say to my little brother?
My problem is terrible.
My mum gave us a new baby a couple of years ago. We were really happy then, but this lovely baby has grown up!
He seems to have too much energy, and never stops running or shouting. The door doesn’t help at all—he’ll be knocking at it for ages. I can’t study at home. I really can’t stand this, but what should I say to four-year-old boy? And my parents are around him all the time. They seem to forget everything about me. How I miss those sweet old days when we could just sit in the sofa!
Can you help me out?
Dr. Wang
@ Sophia
That’s a common complaint. I know how awful it is when someone keeps knocking at the door, but doesn’t that mean the little one wants to stay with you? Just as you want to have your parents around, he needs your attention! If this doesn’t make you feel better, ask your parents for some help. Just have a talk with your parents. Ask them to calm our little brother down or take him out when you are doing your homework. And tell them that you also need their attention!
Family life might not always be as sweet as those old days. Sometimes we have to wait until what troubles us today becomes part of those sweet old days.

But elephants are in great danger．People cut down many trees so elephants are losing their homes．People also kill elephants for their ivory．Today there are only about 3，000 elephants(over 100，000 before)，We must save the trees and not buy things made of ivory． Remember that March 13th is Thai Elephant Day．

Students in the US don’t begin their spring break at the same time. It depends on where they live. While students from one town are on vacation, their neighbors in the next town may have classes as usual.
You may have heard of it from many hit US TV shows and movies. It’ s usually in the middle of March, when characters on shows like Gossip Girl get a week off from classes, go to the beach and throw big parties. It’s spring break or＂party time＂!
Unlike our semester, which starts in late February or early March this year, American schools begin as early as January. So in late March and April, most American schools, ranging from kindergartens to colleges, give students one to two weeks off school.
College students often take planes to places like Florida or Cancun, Mexico. They relax on the beach, enjoy cold drinks and get a tan.
Younger kids take trips with their parents, visiting a new state or even a new country. Sometimes teachers lead overseas trips for groups of students. On a ten-day trip, for example, students may go on a tour through Spain, France, and Italy, which gives them a great chance to see different parts of the world.
Having a ＂staycation＂, which means being a tourist in your own city, is another popular trend (趋势). You can visit local art galleries (美术馆), museums or have a big meal in a nice restaurant.
For those who are not in the mood to go out, spring break is a good time to catch up with hit TV series or play video games.
There are also students who want a different kind of spring break experience. Instead of partying, they choose to do community service, help with disaster-hit areas and do other volunteering work.
No matter how they’ve spent the break, one thing is for sure — students return to school feeling refreshed (恢复活力的) and ready to finish the school year.
1. Students in the US begin their spring break at a different time, don’t they?

2. How long does the spring break usually last?

根据短文内容回答下列问题。
Each and every year, during Chongyang Festival, citizens of China celebrate the elders in their families and communities. It’s a special tradition which is rooted in the deep value that Chinese culture places on honoring their elders.
Sadly, many of our aging population are seniors without sons, daughters or grandchildren to visit. While they may have great friends, they no doubt miss the tender and loving relationships unique to families. To fill this void(空虚), many volunteers turned up on October 28 at nursing homes around the country in order to spend time with the residents. In some cases, they performed humble(谦逊的) gestures of kindness, such as combing their hair or washing their feet.
While the kind acts were appreciated, one embarrassing story out of Anhui province raised a valuable question. Reportedly, one old gentleman had his feet washed seven times during the day by different volunteers. Is this genuinely(真诚地) caring for the elderly? Many of the residents at the home said that those gestures do not make them feel cared for at all. Their family members or community volunteers may drop by for a few hours of token time, but soon they disappear back into their busy lives.
There is nothing we can give that is more valuable or appreciated than our time. While you may feel like there is barely enough time to care for your many responsibilities, might it be possible to spare just a moment as you walk home from school to sit with a senior who lives in your community? Just five minutes is not going to prevent you from getting your homework done, but it may totally change a day of loneliness into a day of joy for one old man or woman. Do you live far from your grandparents? Why not pick up the phone and let them know you’ re thinking of them? Or maybe you could remind them of the ＂good old days＂ and mail them a short letter. Imagine their surprise and joy!
We live in a complicated(复杂的) and busy world, but kindness and caring is still a very simple thing.
