Some people make you feel comfortable when they are around. You spend an hour with them and feel as if you have known them half your life. These people have something in common. And once we know what it is, we can try to do it ourselves.
How is it done? Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, they’ll help you put people at their ease, and make friends with them quickly.
First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how 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.
In addition, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. This point seems clear, but it isn’t. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully and attentively.
Real listening at least means some things. First it means not to change the subject of conversation. If someone sticks to one topic, you can take it as a fact that he’s really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones of voice. If the voice sounds dull, then, it’s time for you to change the subject.
Last but not least, good talkers know well how to deal with the occasion of parting. If you’re saying good-bye, you may give him a firm 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.
1. Which of the following is NOT the reason why good talkers ask questions?
A．To get the conversation going smoothly.
B．To continue the conversation with other matters.
C．To make more new friends.
D．To know how far the conversation can go.
2. How many skills does the author give us to be good talkers?
A．Three. B．Four. C．Five. D．Six.
3. In general, good talkers are persons who __________.
A．can keep the conversation interesting
B．never talk too much or too little
C．always keep the conversation a secret
D．can change the topic of the conversation properly
4. If you are willing to meet someone again, __________.
A．you’d better let him know it
B．you’d better shake his hand firmly

Friendship can deeply affect the physical and mental health of both men and women. Studies show that people who have no friends or who are lonely, are more likely to die earlier, get sick more often and suffer greater physical wear and tear(折磨）than those who have a support system of friends.
Sometimes, family members may be more likely to give you advice or tell you what you don't want to hear. It may not be as good as a friend who will listen to you and guide you, but support your decisions anyway. The most important elements about friendship are those who suffer support and do not judge your decisions based on society.
One reason for the link between social support and good health practice seems to be that people who feel cared for by others are less stress-out and protected against the symptoms(症状）of depression and loneliness.
Generally, women benefit most because of how they deal with stress. Women are more social in how they deal with stress than men while men are more likely to have a "fight or flight” reaction. Women also tend to have larger, denser social network, in which more people know each other and help each other, while men typically have smaller groups of friends and will rely on their wives or other important people for more support. While all these affect people psychologically (心理上）, friendship brings comfort that reduces the ill effects of stress, and the sex difference also contributes to the difference in the length of one's life time.
1.In the author's opinion, a real friend should .
A．tell you what to do even if you refuse to hear it
B．try to persuade you to change your mind quickly
C．judge your decision according to his, her experience
D．give you advice but respect your own decision
2.Women benefit more from friendship than men because .
A．women are always cared for by more people than men
B．women are usually less stress-out when staying with others
C．women are more likely to solve problems with friends’ help
D．women can always keep more long-life friendship than men
3.According to the passage we can infer that .
A．it's good for women to tell men what they should do or not
B．friends are always more important than family members
C．men don't want to share their problems with many people
D．the trend that women can live longer makes them more relaxed
4.This passage mainly talks about .
A．why people should develop friendship
B．when friendship affects people's health
C．people’s different attitudes towards friendship
D．the friendship which can make people live longer
