第三部分：阅读理解（共两节，每小题2分，满分40分）

A

Certain people make you feel comfortable when they are around. You spend an hour with them and feel as if you’ve 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 will help you put people at ease, and make friends with them quickly.

First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy they are, will answer a question. One well-known businessman says, “At business lunches, I always ask people what they did this 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 they answer will let you know how far you can go.

Second, once good talkers have asked questions they listen for the answer. 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 means certain 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’ll be 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.

Finally, 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 secret. Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if they’ve known you half their life.

51. You will like to stay with certain people because_______.

A. they know how to get along with others.

B. you can often get much help from them.

C. they are always glad to do anything for you.

D. they will never get you into trouble.

52. Asking questions might be quite a good way_____.

A. for you to make more and more new friends.

B. to begin your business talks

C. to get the conversation going well.

D. for you to make a deep and lasting impression on others.

53. After having asked somebody a question, it’ll be polite of you to ___.

A. make clear what kind of person he is.

B. listen to his answer attentively

C. wait quietly and patiently for his answer.

54. Generally speaking, good talkers are persons who____.

A. are good at making any topic interesting.

B. never talk too much or too little.

C. always speaks in a gentle way

D. know how and when they should change the topic of the talk

B

If you see someone drowning, speed is very important. Once you get him out of the water, if he isn’t breathing, you have four minutes before his brain is completely destroyed. Support his neck, lift his head back and press his chin(下巴) upwards. This stops the tongue blocking the air mouth-to-mouth breathing. Press his nostrils(鼻孔)together with your fingers. Open your mouth and take a deep breath. Blow into his lungs until his chest rises, then remove your mouth, and watch his chest fall. Repeat twelve times a minute. Keep doing until help arrives.

To bring a child back to life, keep your lips around his mouth and nose and gently blow into his mouth. Give the first four breaths as quickly as possible to fill the blood with oxygen. If , in spite of your efforts, he starts turning a blue grey colour, you can feel no pulse(脉搏)，then pressing is the last chance of saving his life.

With arms straight, rock forwards, pressing down on the lower half of the breastbone(脑骨). Don’t be too hard or you may break a rib(肋骨). Check how effective you are doing if his colour improves or his pulse becomes independent to your chest pressing. If this happens, stop the pressing. Otherwise continue until rescue arrives.

55. This passage is mainly about____.

A. How to save people out of the water.

B. How to give first aid to people who are drowning.

C. How to do mouth-to
