Inside the pleasingly fragrant cafe, So All May Eat(SAME) in downtown Denver ,t
he spirit of generosity is  instantly noticeable: donation box stands in place of
a cash register customers here pay only what they can afford, no questions asked.
A risky business plan, perhaps, but SAME Café has done one unchangeable thing i
n the MileHigh City for six years: Open only at midday, the restaurant allows p
oor local customers who cannot pay to work as volunteers instead. They can act as
waitersandwaitresses,anddishwashers, or look after the buildings and equipment
for the cafe.It’s based on trust, and it’s working all right”, says co-owne
r Brad Birky, who started the caféin 2006. Previously volunteering at soup kitc
hens, the Birkys were dissatisfied with the often unhealthy meals they served t
here. “We wanted to offer quality food in a restaurant where every-one felt co
mfortable,regardless of their circumstances,” Birky says. SAME’s special lunc
h menu changs daily and most food materials are natural and grown by local farm
ers. The café now averages 65 to 70 customers (and eight volunteers) a day. And
the spirit of generosity behind the project appears to be spreading. In early 
2007,one volunteer who hadcleared snow for his meals during the long winter sai
d goodbye to the Birkys.He said he was going to New Orleans to help with the hu
rricane clearing up,” says Birky. 
小题1:What can we learn about the soup kitchens the Birkys previously worked for?
A.They refused to have volunteers.
B.They offered low quality food.
C.They provided customers with a good environment.
D.They closed down because of poor management.

B.More volunteers will go to new Orleans for the hurricane cleanup.
C.Many new cafes will be opened to offer free lunches in the town.

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 mad 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 connections.
Link each person yon meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example, you could make a mental note: "Vicki Cheng -- tall, black hair." To reinforce 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 every one. 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. There’re fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others --- an automatic review for you.
小题1:How will most people feel when you try hard to remember their names?
A.They will be moved.
B.They will be upset.
C.They will be delighted.
D.They will be discouraged.
小题2: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
小题3: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
小题4: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 social skills.
D.How to recite and repeat names.

This little story I’m about to tell you happened when I was 11 years old, and I’ll never forget it.

I can’t forget that she 41 her hands to introduce herself. It was so 42, I thought, rich fine skin; then I heard her saying, “Oh no, that is not 43 you shake hands. Let me teach you.” She didn’t do that at all in a condescending (屈尊的) manner. 44 that, I just remember her voice explaining the 45 of a good handshake of conveying (传达) a   46 sense of self-belief, of looking the other person in the eyes, and of making a warm  47. Hearing her friendly words, I first understand what being 48 meant.
I admired her for 49 time to teach me about one of the important things in life. I was grateful for her not talking down to me 50 I was 11 and didn’t know much. I also felt somewhat admired by the way she 51 me. It felt good to be talked to as a(n) 52, rather than as an 11-year-old child.

I think of her every time I meet someone 55, and I’m so thankful for her little lesson.
