Kenneth Smith， from Fort Worth， Texas， was driven from his apartment four years ago. He had been experiencing homelessness up until earlier this year， when the kindness of strangers saw him through rough times.

Smith was sitting outside of the Outback Steak house in Fort Worth one day and had fallen asleep when a stranger tapped him on the shoulder to ask if he was OK. When he replied that he was starving， she told him to wait there and went inside the restaurant.“I thought she was going in to call the police on me.” Smith said， “But she came back out and gave me a gift card of $100. She told me to go in and have a meal.”

When he later went inside to use the card， he caught the eye of the Outback manager Laura Hodges. She walked over and talked with him while he was eating. During the talk， she learned what a stranger had done and thought it was really amazing. So Hodges decided to “pass forward the good favor” and told Smith to save that gift card and come in whenever he wanted a hot meal.

Over the next few weeks， Hodges knew more about Smith. One day while they were talking， Smith said it was too hard for him to find any work， and he would offer to do some work at her restaurant. He started soon after.

After working there for about two and a half months， Smith said， “I feel good knowing that I can pay my rent， knowing that I can smile， knowing that I can do good things.” He is working toward a long-term goal of having his own restaurant.“I want to cook some good food and have people taste my food as well，” he said.

2. What did Hodges decide to do？

C. Save the card for herself.   D. Offer Smith a high-paid job.

When you're meeting someone for the first time， you want to leave them a good impression.1. However， it's not just your mouth doing the talking—the way you hold yourself is just as important. Here are some tips on body language to show positivity and kindness in communication with others.

Nod and smile when appropriate （恰當的）. These nonverbal signs can show the other person that you're fully involved in what she is saying， and in agreement. Try nodding three times to show that you're really absorbing what she is saying.2！ If you turn up the corners of your mouth but your eyes stay the same， you could come off as insincere （不真心的）.

3. Don't be obvious， but try to match her body language and facial expression. By doing this， you'll help the other person feel comfortable toward you. This mirroring technique has even been shown to increase a person's good will toward the person mirroring her. If she has crossed her arms， cross your arms.4.

Laugh truly. Even if you're in a formal setting， if the other person has clearly said something that was intended to raise a laugh， laugh！5 ， and you're listening to what she is saying. Avoid laughing out of nerves or because you have nothing to say.

A. Always keep your arms crossed

B. Mirror the person you're speaking with

C. Show her that you have a sense of humor

D. It's an easy technique that can often pay off

E. Avoid touching your hair or adjusting your clothing

F. You want to say all the perfect things at all the right times

G. When it comes to smiling， make sure it reaches your eyes

It was one of the hardest days of my young life. I was a 13-year-old freshman trying out for the high school 1 team.

Body language plays a big role in communication as it gives us messages about the other person that we can interpret non-verbally just based on our feeling. There are four types to be aware of.

Eye contact is one of the most direct and powerful facial expressions. The eyes are always talking. The use of eye contact varies significantly from culture to culture. In some regions， direct eye contact is often considered a sign of trustworthiness. So， if you're in America， you should know soft， attentive （关心的） eye contact would convey honesty. However， a hard， unblinking stare will send a much different message， similar to the meaning of direct eye contact in some regions.

Gestures can be used to emphasize （强调） meaning. Pressing fingers together to form a steeple slows interest and determination. Touching the nose or rubbing eyes indicates discomfort. A hand to the back of the neck may indicate you are not interested in a conversation.

Body posture can be closed or open. A firm handshake will give the impression of honesty. Folding arms across your chest or body is protective. People with arms folded， legs crossed and bodies turned away reject messages. A head held straight up signals a neural attitude. A head sidewards indicates interest. A head down is negative.

The position of speakers and listeners： face-to-face， side-to-side， or back-to-back， can send powerful messages. In a group situation， when the leader faces the group and turns toward the one who is speaking， this conveys strong attention. When two people are communicating， competitors more possibly sit facing each other while cooperators sit side-by-side.

4. What body language can express honesty？

A. A head sidewards or touching the nose.

B. Attentive eye contact or a firm handshake.

C. A firm handshake or folding arms across one's chest.

D. Attentive eye contact or folding arms across one's chest.

5. What does the underlined word “reject” in Paragraph 4 probably mean？

A. Feel down. B. Care for.  C. Turn down. D. Agree with.

6. Which type of body language is talked about in the last paragraph？

A. Body posture. B. Gestures.  C. Facial expressions. D. Space relationship.

7. What does the text mainly talk about？

A. Types of body language.   B. How to use body language.

You're in a crowd of people who are all asking for the same thing. How do you make your voice heard above the rest？ Be different. Don't shout. Lisa， 25， was waiting to board a plane when the flight was cancelled.

“There were about a hundred of us unable to leave，” she says.“Everyone else was shouting at the airport staff. Instead ofjoining in， I walked up to the man behind the ticket desk very quietly and said， ‘This must be so awful for you！ I don't know how you deal with these situations—it's not even your fault. I could never handle it as well as you are.' Without my even asking， he found me a seat on another airline with an upgrade to first class. He was happy to do a favor for someone who was appreciative instead of unfriendliness.”

Flattery （恭维） is an essential element of the sweet-talk strategy.“It's human psychology that stroking a person's ego （自我价值感） with a few well-directed praises makes them want to prove you right，” says a psychologist.“Tell someone they're pretty and they'll instantly fix their hair.”

You need help and there's absolutely no reason that the person will want to lend a hand. Allison， a lawyer， realized she'd made a huge mistake on a batch of documents.“The only way I could fix the problem was to get the help of a colleague who I knew didn't like me，” she said.

Allison went to the woman's office and explained her problem.“As I was saying to the boss the other day you're the only person who would know how to handle a situation like this， what would you suggest I do？”“Feeling encouraged， she helped me finish the job on time，” Allison said.

1. What can we infer about the airport from Paragraph 1？

A. It is noisy.     B. It is in danger.

C. It is busy.     D. It is closed.

2. Why did the man put Lisa on another airline？

A. He admired Lisa's beauty.   B. He appreciated her attitude.

C. He was ready to help others.   D. He was moved by her words.

3. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about？

A. The benefits of ego.   B. The strategy to start small talk.

C. The importance of flattery.   D. The value of humor in daily life.

4. What can we learn about Allison's colleague？

A. She was a popular lawyer.   B. She was ready to help others.

C. She got praise from Allison.   D. She did a favor for Allison eventually.

This summer holiday， I go to a seaside city with my family. We got there by air. It is a very beautiful and modern city， where impressed us a lot. On the first day， we took a bus to a place calling the Sea Park. There were such many different kinds of fishes that I couldn't believe in my eyes. On the second day， we went swimming， and we all enjoyed ourselves. During the next two days， we went to some tourist spot， shopping and taking photos. Several days late， we left the city. Although we were tiring on our way home， we felt happily about the holiday. What unforgettable experience！

How Body Language Makes You Popular

肢体语言是如何让你更受欢迎的

Body language is extremely important when it comes to making good first impressions. It's always helpful to know what body cues show you in a positive light， especially during interviews or networking when you're meeting someone for the first time. It can make a difference and even make you more likeable. Keep these tips in mind when you're interacting with another person！

如果你想要创造良好的第一印象，肢体语言的作用极为重要。如果你知道了哪些肢体上的细节能给你带来正面形象，那将会对你有很大的帮助。特别是参加面试或是你第一次与人见面时，一些肢体语言能让你更受对方的青睐。在你和别人交流时记住以下小窍门吧！

Make eye contact. When talking to someone， making eye contact shows interest and also confidence. Don't go overboard and gaze without breaking eye contact， because that can make people feel uncomfortable. Spend the majority of the time making eye contact， but remember to briefly take breaks.

眼神交流。当你和某人交谈时，眼神交流能表现出你的兴趣和自信。但也不要目不转睛直勾勾地盯着对方，那样会让对方感觉不适。用大部分时间作眼神交流，但也要记得偶尔放松。

Have good posture. Sit or stand up straight and avoid slouching. Slouching can make you look less professional and can possibly make you look less confident and enthusiastic.

保持好姿势。坐着或站着的时候要笔直，不要没精打采。没精打采的样子会让你显得不专业，也许也会让你显得缺乏自信和热情。

Don't fidget . Don't fiddle with your hands or shake your leg because that can portray

nervousness or restlessness. Relax and slow down your movements.

不要坐立不安。不要摆弄双手或抖动腿脚，那会表现出你的紧张或不安。放松一点，放慢动作。

Stay uncrossed. Keep your hands and legs uncrossed because that can make you seem cold and distant . If you're not crossing your arms， you'll look more open and less guarded.

不要交叉手脚。不要叉手盘腿，因为那样会显得你很冷，有距离感。如果你没有两手交叉，你就会显得更开放，并且不那么具有防范性。
