My aunt is one of those people who can talk to anyone about anything. If she goes to a party where she doesn't know any of the people, she just walks up to the first person that she sees and introduces herself. And yet she doesn't seem to talk about deeply important things like politics or religion. She always starts off on something very obvious like the other person's job. Very soon she's talking as if she's known the other person for years. I asked her once what her secret was. She said that the most important thing in a conversation was listening. People love to talk about themselves, so if you allow them to do so, it's very easy to keep a conversation going. You have to listen very carefully and ask questions. And you have to look interested, too. So don't keep looking at other things in the room while you're talking to someone.

Another thing I've noticed is that she only pays people compliments. She says: “I like your hair. Which hairdresser do you go to?” or “You look very well. Have you been on holiday?” Friendly messages like this seem to provide an easy way into a conversation.

1. According to my aunt, the most important thing in a conversation was__________.

 A. speaking  B. discussing C. looking  D. listening

2. At parties where she does not know anybody, my aunt normally__________.

A. feels embarrassed and stays away from people B. asks people to introduces themselves to her

C. comes over to the first person and introduces herself  D. sits alone and avoids talking to other people

3. My aunt thinks that it's very easy to keep a conversation going if you__________.

 A. let people talk about themselves B. let people hear about yourself

 C. talk about politics or religion D. ask people about their secrets

4. What should you NOT do when you have a conversation with someone?

 A. Looking very interested in his or her story B. Looking at other things in the room

 C. Listening very carefully and asking questions D. Paying him or her compliments

5. According to the passage, my aunt often starts a conversation by talking about__________.

 A. the other person's wealth B. the other person's health

 C. the other person's daily activities D. the other person's job

1. She  is  the most beautiful woman who I have ever met.

           A       B               C     D

Like schools in Britain and other English speaking countries, those in the U.S have also always stressed "character" or "social" skills through extracurricular activities, including organized sports. Because most schools start at around 8 o'clock every morning and classes often do not finish until 3 or 4 o'clock in the afternoon, such activities mean that many students do not return home until the early evening. There is usually a very broad range of extracurricular activities available. Most schools, for instance, publish their own student newspapers, and some have their own radio stations. Almost all have student orchestras, bands, and choirs.

Many different sports are also available and most schools share their facilities - swimming pools, tennis courts, tracks, and stadiums - with the public. Often the students themselves organize and support school activities and raise money through car washes, baby-sitting, or by mowing lawns. Parents and local business often also help a group that, for example, has a chance to go to a state music competition, to compete in some sports championship, or take a camping trip. Such activities not only give pupils a chance to be together outside of normal classes, they also help develop a feeling of "school spirit" among the students and in the community.

A. eight        B. five  C six   D. four

2. Which extracurricular school activities are not mentioned?
A. writing newspapers B. singing in a choir C. helping old people D. working in a radio station

3. Which sports facilities are not mentioned in the text?
A. swimming pools       B. tennis courts   C. golf course    D. stadiums

4. What do the students do to support school activities?
A. look after a baby   B. repair cars C. sell lawn movers     D. sell newspapers

5. Which activities are not helped by parents and local business?

A. performing at a state music competition  B. working in a TV station

C. playing in a sport competition   D. having a camping trip

 In the United States and Canada, it is very important to look a person directly in the eyes when you are having a conversation with him or her.

 The old couples spend more on clothing and furnishing and less on food. If this trend continues, many young couples might take these privileges for granted and become more dependent.
