Remembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it.

Recite and repeat in conversation.

When you hear a person's name, repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.

Ask the other person to recite and repeat.

You can let other people help you remember their names. After you've been introduced to someone, ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort you're making to learn their names.

Admit you don't know.

Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy if you say, "I'm working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again?"

Use associations.

Link each person you meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example, you could make a mental note: "Vicki Cheng…… tall, black hair." To reinforce(加强) your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.

Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.

When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering everyone. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.

Go early.

Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. That's fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others—an automatic review for you.

1.If you can't remember someone's name, you may .

A. tell him the truth B. tell him a white lie

C. ask him for pity D. ask others to help you

2.When you meet a group of people, it is better to remember .

A. all their names

B. a couple of names first

C. just their last names

D. as many names as possible

3.What does the text mainly tell us?

A. Tips on an important social skill.

B. Importance of attending parties.

C. How to make use of associations.

D. How to recite and repeat names.

Here are the things students often do.

Walk, jump, bike or run.

Use your legs! It’s lots of fun!

Animals can be extremely protective of their young. But when hard times call, animal fathers can be really a danger to their own kids.

Daddy Lion

A combination of laziness, pride, cruelty and anger makes the lion one of the most fearsome and worst dads of the animal kingdom. When not walking proudly across the jungle, the father lion just lazes around under the sun, or waits for one of its lioness(母狮子) partners to bring back food. Once the lioness gets home the food, the lion eats up most of it, and leaves little or nothing at all for the kids. The father doesn’t even train the kids for hunting and surviving, it is the lioness who teaches them how to fend for themselves.

The Polar Father

Cute, pure and soft. Protective of young ones and family? Sure. But what makes the polar bears one of the worst dads of the animal kingdom? They don’t take care of the young ones, they won’t take up the responsibility of feeding them, they won’t take care of them like a father should. They just leave that to the mother bear.

The Assassin Bug(猎蝽)

Size matters, you say? This little bug would eat its own eggs to stay strong and fulfill its hunger needs. The male assassin bug is actually responsible for guarding the eggs. The female assassin bug lays eggs in large numbers. The male bug eats the weaker eggs.

Daddy Bass(岩鲈鱼)

Usually, water calms you down. Not so much for this underwater species. The male bass is known to eat up eggs from its own spawn. It guards the spawn(子,卵) laid by its female partner. However, when hungry and unable to hunt for food, the father won’t think twice before eating up the eggs.

And do you think your father was strict and hard? After reading this article, I’m sure you think your dad is the best in the whole wide world for not eating you up!

More and more Americans are showing an interest in healthy and locally-produced food. As the interest increases, raising chickens has been gaining popularity in some American cities.

“Look, we get three eggs this time.”

Collecting eggs is a daily pleasure for the Hurst family. Naomi Hurst says her family started to raise chickens in back of their home in Maryland a month ago.

“We have wanted to try having backyard chickens for a couple years now. And really just didn't have the time to build my own coop(鸡笼;鸡舍) and look out where to buy chickens. And then we met Rent a Coop,” said Naomi Hurst.

Rent a Coop is a chicken rental business. Tyler Phillips launched the company with a partner 18 months ago. It comes with a mobile coop on wheels, two egg-laying hens, feed, bedding, water bowl, feed bowl, and our 24-hour chicken hotline. You can call with any questions. The price is 185 dollars for four weeks.

After the four weeks passed, individuals can extend the rental agreement, return everything or purchase the animals and supplies.

Tyler Phillips designs and makes the coops. He says he wants to do as little damage as possible to the environment.

“We always try to have as many recycled materials as possible. And I want the coops to be safe for kids. I want the chickens to be comfortable and they have access to the grass while being inside the coop. I want it to be easily movable, light weight,” he said.

Some cities require people have large pieces of land, if they want to raise farm animals. Others require an agreement with neighbors, limit the number of chickens, or, even ban the birds.

Tyler Phillips expects that would change as interest in small poultry (家禽) coops grows.

“I see cities around the D. C. area changing laws almost monthly and different cities will change the law to being prochicken(赞成养鸡). That is happening all around the United States,” he said, He believes that there will be chicken rental businesses in most American cities within five years.

1.According to the passage people raise chickens probably to __________.

A. save the living cost

B. reduce farmers’ burden

C. solve the employment problems

D. get safe and healthy food

2.The Hurst family used to have trouble in ____________.

A. building a website for raising chickens

B. building the coops and buying the chickens

C. finding some place to raise the chickens

D. persuading the neighbours to accept their idea

3.We can learn from the passage that __________.

A. you can enjoy the Rent a Coop service after 18 months

B. you can search online for any questions related to raising chickens

C. you can pay for keeping the supplies and the chickens for ever

D. you can pay 185 dollars a week for renting things to raise the chickens

4.Tyler Phillips designed and made the coops ____________

A. based on the environmentally friendly concept

B. based on the government’s supporting policy

C. to help advertise the organic and local food

D. to meet his neighbors’ need of raising chickens
