Listen attentively.【2】Listen attentively to the name and concentrate on the face. Don’t look at the person’s clothes or her jewelry (首饰). If you did not hear the name clearly, ask the name to be repeated.

Find connections. The person you are introduced to may be a doctor, a mother of five or a cancer survivor. 【3】The details may come out during your conversation or another person may provide them at a later time.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】G

【2】E

【3】B

【4】F

【5】C

【解析】

【1】G 根据下一句What’s worse is that someone else is with you and you know you’ll have to introduce the two of them to each other.更糟糕的事情是你还要介绍他们。可知前面一句应该是你认识他们，但是忘记了对方的名字。故G项You may have been in situations where you see a familiar face but you just can’t remember her name.符合上下文串联。

【2】E 本段的建议是Listen attentively.要认真听而且要集中注意力在对方的脸上，这样就可以记得更牢。E项Whenever you are introduced to someone, keep your mind on it.无论何时你被介绍给某个人，要集中注意力在对方身上。与上下文相一致。

【3】B 第三段的建议是Find connections.也就是说要在对方的身份和名字之间找到联系。所以B项You’d better connect the details about the person to her name.要把这个人的一些细节和他的名字联系在一起。和段落大意一致。

【4】F 本段的建议是Repeat the name，也就是说要有意识地多重复对方的名字，用这种方法强化记忆。F项During the course of your conversation with anyone new to you, use her name once in a while.正是这一方法的具体使用。

【5】C 根据前面一句Describe a little about Anna.作者建议在对话中提到这个人的名字，但是和你说话的人对这个信息并不感兴趣，但你可以通过这种方法记得别人的名字。C项与上下文语义一致。
