Mr. Brown’s house was less than two miles from his office, so he could drive home every day for lunch. Every time he drove home at noon, he found many cars outside his house and there was no room for his own car. He had to drive somewhere else to park his car. Then he walked back home. This made him very angry.
He put up a board in the garden facing the road. The board said, “No Parking”. But nobody noticed it. People seemed to obey only a police notice with white letters on a blue board:
Mrs. Brown asked his husband to steal a police notice but he was afraid to do so. Then she asked him to make one just like a police notice. Mr. Brown said he was not the police and couldn’t use the word “police”. Several days later, Mr. Brown made a blue board with white letters.

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 people feel relaxed 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.   
Second, 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.
Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the moment 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.
小题1:Asking questions might be a quite good and suitable way _______.
A.for you to make more and more new friends
B.to begin your business talks
C.to get the conversation going smoothly
D.for you to make a deep and lasting impression on others
小题2: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 reply attentively
C.wait quietly and patiently for his answer
D.go on asking him more questions
小题3: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 speak in a gentle way
D.know how and when they should change the topic of the talk
小题4:If you really want to meet someone again, _______.
A.you may take him as your lifelong true friend
B.it seems necessary for you to let him know it
C.it's proper for you to give him a second handshake
D.it'll be helpful for you to have further understanding of him

It was early evening on September 14th. Glen James, a homeless man was passing by a store inBoston when he happened upon a black bag. To see whose the bag is, Glen opened it only to find that it was filled with money - $2,400 in cash and almost $40,000 in traveler’s checks, as well as, a passport and other papers.
While other people in similar situations would have been tempted (引诱), Glen who has been homeless since 2005, did not even think twice. He showed the bag to a police officer, and the police officer gave it back to a Chinese tourist who had reported it lost. What Glen did was reported by newspapers, all over the country.
While most people that read itfelt surprised at the man’s honesty, 27-year-old Ethan Whittington thought Glen should get money for what he did. So he decided to set up a money collection website. He set a goal of $50,000, which he believed was reasonable because it was more than what Glen had discovered in the bag. The marketing manager fromVirginia thought he would be lucky to raise a few hundred dollars. Instead, within just a day, the website had gone over the $50,000 goal, encouraging Ethan to set a higher goal of $250,000 so that he could help Glen buy a house and start a new life.
As of now, $113,000 has been raised. Ethan who has talked to Glen over the phone, plans to visit Boston soon and also help him manage the money wisely. Needless to say, the homeless man is surprised at whathe is receiving for doing the right thing – Honesty, certainly pays off!
小题1:Did Glen find money in the black bag?
小题2:Who gave the bag back to the Chinese tourist?
小题3:What did Ethan decide to do after he read the news of Glen?
小题4:How much money has been raised by now?

Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all! It is said that our body movements communicate about 50 percent of what we really mean while words only express 7 percent. So, while your mouth is closed, your body is just saying..
Arms. How you hold your arms shows how open and receptive(能容纳的) you are to people you meet. If you keep your arms to the sides of your body or behind your back, this suggests you are not afraid of anything. Outgoing people generally use their arms with big movements, while quieter people keep them close to their bodies. If someone upsets you, just cross your arms to show you're unhappy!
Head.When you want to appear confident, keep your head level(水平). However, to be friendly in listening or speaking, you must move your head a little.
Legs. Your legs will move around a lot more than usual when you are nervous or telling lies.
Posture(姿势). A good posture makes you feel better about yourself. If you are feeling unhappy, you usually don't sit straight, with your shoulders inwards. This makes breathing more difficult and makes you feel nervous or uncomfortable.
    Face.When you lie, you might put on a false face. But that expression would not last long.  And your true emotions such as happiness, sadness, fear and so on will come through.
小题1: When someone is keeping his arms behind his back, he tries to tell you that       .
