Remembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it.
Recite and repeat in conversation(谈话,交往).
When you hear a person’s name, repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial(矫揉造作的,不自然的).
Ask the other person to recite and repeat.
You can let other people help you remember their names. After you’ve been introduced to someone,ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort(努力) you’re making to learn their names.
Admit you don’t know.
Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy if you say, “I’ m working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again?”
Use associations(联络,联系).
Link(联系) each person you meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example, you could make a mental note:“Vicki Cheng — tall, black hair.” To reinforce (加强) your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.
Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.
When meeting a group of people, concentrate on(集中精力) remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering everyone. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.
Go early.
Consider going early to conferences(会议), parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up(到场) on time. That’s fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others — an automatic (无意识的)review for you...How will most people feel when you try hard to remember their names?
A.They will be moved. | B.They will be annoyed. |

People believe that climbing can do good to health. Where can you learn the skill of climbing then? If you think that you have to go to the mountains to learn how to climb, you’re wrong. Many Americans are learning to climb in city gyms(体育馆). Here,people are learning on special climbing walls. The climbing wall goes straight up and has small holding places for hands and feet.
How do people climb the wall? To climb,you need special shoes and a harness (保护带) around your chest to hold you. There are ropes(绳索)tied to your harness. The ropes hold you in place so that you don’t fall. A beginner’s wall is usually about 15 feet high, and you climb straight up. There are small pieces of metal that stick out for you to stand on and hold on to. Sometimes it’s easy to see the next piece of metal. Sometimes, it’s not. The most difficult part is to control your fear. It’s normal for humans to be afraid of falling, so it’s difficult not to feel fear. But when you move away from the wall, the harness and the ropes hold you,and you begin to feel safe. You move slowly until you reach the top.
Climbing attracts people because it’s good exercise for almost everyone. You use your whole body, especially your arms and legs. This sport gives your body a complete workout. When you climb,both your mind and your body can become stronger. What can we infer from the passage?
A.People are fairly interested in climbing nowadays. |

When I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a farm and,in the winter especially, we were quite cut off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that city life has its problems too.
One big disadvantage(不利之处) is money—it costs so much to go out,not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma (哮喘), and at times the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle,but that can be quite dangerous.
Of course there are advantages(优点). First, there is so much to do in the city,whatever your tastes in culture or entertainment (娱乐活动). Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally,if you like shopping, the variety (多样化)of goods is very surprising—and, what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.
Is life better then,in the city? Perhaps it is,when you are in your teens(十几岁)or twenties. However, as you get older,and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable(更可取的,更好的). I certainly hope to move back there soon...

At first all films were in black and white, but in 1932 the first color film was made. It proved as unpopular as making films had done in the late 1920’s.
