19．Some people make you feel comfortable when they are with you．You spend an hour talking to them and feel as if you have known them half your life．These good talkers have something similar．And once we know what it is，we can try to do it ourselves．
First of all，good talkers ask questions．Almost anyone，however shy he is，will answer a question．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．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．Your questions should have a point．This helps to tell what kind of person you are talking to．And to find out，you really have to listen carefully．Real listening at least means some things．It means not to change the subject of conversation very often．If someone sticks to （坚持） one topic，you can know that he's really interested in it．Moreover，real listening also means not just listening to words，but to tones （语调） of voice．If the voice sounds boring，then，it's time for you to change the subject．
Finally，good talkers know well how to deal with the moment of leaving．If you're saying good-bye，you may give him a friendly handshake and say，"I've really enjoyed meeting you．"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．

解答 36．D．推理判断题．根据Real listening at least means some things．It means not to change the subject of conversation very often．If someone sticks to （坚持） one topic，you can know that he's really interested in it．Moreover，real listening also means not just listening to words，but to tones （语调） of voice．If the voice sounds boring，then，it's time for you to change the subject．可知真正的倾听至少意味着一些东西．这意味着不能随便改变话题．如果有人坚持一个话题，你就可以知道他是真的对此感兴趣．而且，真正的倾听意味着不只是倾听说的话，还有说话的音调．如果说话的音调听起来有点无聊，这样的话你就要改变话题了．所以一个好的倾听者要适时改变话题．故选D．
