21、How to Be More Interesting When Meeting New People
You might think that being interesting is a talent, or that it means you have to be the “life of the party”. Neither of those things are necessarily true. If you want to leave a good impression, you don’t have to make sure all eyes are on you.【1】.
First, you have to show up.
The first thing you’ll have to do, obviously, is to show up and talk to people. On a recent episode of “ The Splendid Table”, author Jessica Hagy said,“You can show up basically as an observer of other interesting people and let that be a learning experience for you , 【2】. But the main thing is to show up.”
Second, be a good observer and a great listener.
【3】, or you’re the one telling the story that everyone is attracted by. It just means that you leave a good impression on the people you interact with, and in turn, those people had a good conversation with you. Before you start talking , it’s important to just listen, even if you fancy yourself a good storyteller.
Third, 【4】
If you catch yourself struggling to keep a conversation going, or wondering what you should say next, or over-thinking the entire affair and feeling nervous, take a few deep breaths and relax.【5】 Give yourself a little time to clear your head, relax, and head back into the conversation.
A.relax and remember it’s just a good time
B.The first step to that is to listen to people’s stories
C.Here are some tips anyone can use in any social setting
D.Grab a drink or a snack, find somewhere out of the way
E.be prepared to have awkward conversations with strangers
F.or you can show up and be a little bit more of the life of the party
G.Remember, being”interesting” doesn’t mean you left the biggest impression

23、 My six-year-old granddaughter stared at me as if she were seeing me for the first time. “Grandma, you are an antique(古董),” she said. “You are old. Antiques are old. You are my antique.”
I was not satisfied to let the matter rest there. I took out the Webster’s Dictionary and read the definition to Jenny. I explained, “An antique is not only old, it’s an object existing since or belonging to earlier times...a work of art... a piece of furniture. Antiques are treasured,” I told Jenny as I put away the dictionary. “They have to be handled carefully because they sometimes are very valuable. In order to qualify as an antique, the object has to be at least 100 years old.”
“I’m only 67,” I reminded Jenny.
We looked around the house for other antiques, besides me. There was a desk that was handed down from Rone aunt to another and finally to our family. “It’s very old,” I told Jenny. “I try to keep it polished and I show it off whenever I can. You do that with antiques.”
There was a picture on the wall bought at a garage sale. It was dated 1867. “Now that’s an antique,” I said with pride. “Over 100 years old.” Of course it was marked up and scratched (刮坏) and not in very good condition. “Sometimes age does that, but the marks are good marks. They show living, or being around. In fact, sometimes, the more an object shows age, the more valuable it can become.”
Our tour of antiques continued. There was a vase on the floor. It had been in my house for a long time. I was not certain where it came from but I didn’t buy it new. One thing about antiques, I explained to Jenny, was that they usually had a story. They’d been in one home and then another, handed down from one family to another. They’d lasted through years. They could have been thrown away, or ignored, or destroyed, or lost. But instead, they survived.
For a moment, Jenny looked thoughtful. “l don’t have any antiques but you,” she said. Then her face brightened, “Could I take you to school for show and tell?”
“Only if I fit into your backpack,” I answered. And then Jenny’s antique lifted her up and embraced her in a hug that would last through the years.
【1】Why did Grandma read the definition of “antique” to Jenny?
A.To tell Jenny the importance of protecting antiques.
B.To list all the important characteristics of antiques.
C.To change Jenny’s shallow understanding of antiques.
D.To express her disappointment at being called “antique”.
【2】Which of the following information did grandma express to Jenny?
A.The desk reminded her of her dear relatives.
B.There was usually a sad story behind each antique.
C.She planned to buy a new vase to replace the old one.
D.The spots on the picture showed its age and value.
【3】What can be the best title for the passage?
A.Grandma’s Antique B.Jenny’s Antique
C.A Tour of Antiques D.A Story of Antiques
24、 Katie always knew she wanted to be a performer. She was fond of Disney movies from an early age and would often sing along with her mom, Karen.
When Katie was nine years old, her happy childhood took a turn when her mother was diagnosed with cancer. When the doctor informed the Whetsell family that Karen's disease was terminal, they made a decision. Disney World had been a longtime dream vacation for Karen. So in November 1997, the family packed up and headed to Disney World. Katie says she'll never forget the moment that changed her life on that trip: After a long day at the parks, the Whetsells decided to see one of Disney World's many nightly light shows. While watching, a Disney cast member performing in the parade came up to her mom and rested her hand on Karen's shoulder. They exchanged smiles and, to this day, Katie remembered how at peace her mom looked. The whole family was touched and moved to tears. This was the day Katie decided she wanted to work for Disney.
After graduating from college, Katie went on to pursue performing for a living. She struggled for years, working as a waitress and trying to make it as an actor.

She says that Dory has taught her the value of living in the present moment and to "just keep swimming."
Katie has never lost sight of the fact that she and others who work for the company bring joy to the lives of many every day. "Everything we do at the parks makes a difference to many families. It's a way for us to help them forget. It's amazing to be able to comfort others." When asked what her mother would think of her working at Disney World, she takes a deep breath and allows the tears to flow. "I just feel like she'd be so proud. I can feel her presence often and I feel her having a part in what I do. It's perfect."

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A Friend in Need is a Friend Indeed
Many years ago, I was at a girls’ school and our teacher made all the girls in the class sit next to someone different every day. It was great when you got to sit next to one of your dear friends, but very boring when you had to sit next to someone you didn't like. I hated sitting next to Madhuri. I didn't like her because she always fought with me.
On one of the days when my teacher had paired Madhuri and me to sit next to each other for the day, I noticed that she seemed very anxious. I asked her what was wrong. She wasn't very forthcoming to start with, but eventually, after a long time she told me that she had two sisters and one younger brother in her family and that her father couldn't afford to buy school books for all of them.
My primary school was strict, as was the standard then, and if you didn't have your school books the teacher would make you leave the class. Madhuri was very anxious that day because she worried that the teacher would tell her to leave the class. When the teacher saw that she didn't have the books, she told Madhuri that she couldn't attend class for a week.
Madhuri was very upset. I felt so bad when I saw her pain that I decided to help her. I went to speak to her and offered to buy the books for her. She refused my offer to help. She had very strong principles and she would never accept things bought by others.
When I got home from school I told my mom the story. She said that it was good that I had tried to help but I should stop worrying about it because there was nothing more that I could do if she had refused my offer to help. I couldn't stop worrying about it though.
