21、   What exactly is persuasion? Persuasion is a process that enables you to change others' attitudes, opinions, or behaviors. When you are watching TV, there are so many advertisements to persuade you to buy their products. When your naughty son does not like to write his homework, you will punish him, which is also a persuasion.

Persuasion is a very important skill nowadays. It is fulfilling everywhere, every time. In many ways, persuasion combines art and science. It's an art in that it requires the ability to establish trust and strong communication skills. It's a science in that it centers on the disciplined collection and analysis of information and solidly researched principles (原则) of human behavior. Persuasion is everywhere, but the effect is very different.

When we persuade, first we should be believable. If someone is an expert in a certain field, his or her speech will be convincing when he or she expresses opinions about this field. It is interesting that if someone's aim is not to affect your opinions, and he or she has no benefit from your decision, this person seems to be more trustful. What's more, we need to be attractive. If we like someone, we will be affected by him or her on some unimportant topics. Even if this person tells us he or she wants to affect, maybe we will also be affected.

The methods of persuasion are necessary too. First you should think wise for choosing your topic. A good topic is a big impact to catch your audience. Then when you have done selecting topics, now it's time to brainstorm how you will have a deep conversation with your audience to give them more ideas about your topics. And think about who your listener is and what they want to know. How will you catch their attention to become more interested in your subject? Next, understanding your audience can help you deliver the right information that is valuable to them. To get your audience, try to add some personal experience in your topics. The way you talk to them expresses your feelings and knowledge, and it really works.

Everyone is trying to persuade someone and being persuaded. So next time you listen to a speech, watch an advertisement, think of persuasion.

【1】In Paragraph 2, the writer thinks persuasion is an art because ________.

A.they both need skills to achieve B.they both have the same topic

C.they both make the audience laugh D.they both deliver the right information

【2】Paragraph 3 is mainly about ________.

A.the meaning of persuasion B.the characteristics of persuaders

C.the importance of persuasion D.the methods of persuaders

【3】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A.Are Advertisements Worth Trusting? B.Persuasion -The Effects are Different

C.Are Good Topics Important for Persuasion? D.Persuasion -An Important Social Skill

22、   A man once had a dream about the Black Forest in Germany. In his dream he was walking in the forest when two men ran out and tried to throw him to the ground.

23、It was 21 years ago, on a very cold morning, Mary opened the library in New York. She heard a cat cry and found a white cat in a pile of books at last.

Mary recalled, “His little feet were frozen, we gave him a bath to warm him up and he purred（咕噜叫）all the time.”

It was a Cinderella story for Garfield in 1988, the cat who has lived happily among the books ever since.

“His story has a life of its own,” Mary says while reading the cat’s fan mail. “We have people drive hundreds of miles out of their way just to see Garfield. We even had a Japanese public television crew come here to make a short film of him.”

Shortly after the cat’s rescue, a photo of the library’s “new employee” sitting on the card catalog appeared in local newspapers. Local people were invited to help name the cat and many cast votes . “We have never had such a big crowd for a contest and there wasn’t even a prize,” Mary says with a laugh.

Garfield grew from a popular local “library employee” to a national star with his pictures on calendars. However, he is not the only cat who lives among books. Library cats greet people in about 100 libraries across America. Most live and “work” in comfortable, small town libraries where they don’t get lost in the books. Library cats used to earn their keep by catching rats, but modern library cats have more “white-collar” duties: to act charming and make the library a pleasant homey place.

“Library cats just create a nice, warm atmosphere,” says Roma, producer of Puss in Books, the film about library cats. “The cats attract children to the library and the elderly who maybe can’t have pets in their apartments,” Roma says. “Books, libraries, and cats just go together.”

A．win

B．name

C．film

D．feed

【2】We probably won’t be able to see the picture of Garfield in ________.

A．a Japanese film

【3】People keep cats in the libraries because ________.

A．cats don’t like big places

B．cats can create a nice and warm atmosphere

C．there are more rats there

D．librarians are more friendly

【4】Library cats can do many things including ________

1) arranging card catalogs     2) greeting people

3) acting for a film        4) catching rats

5) making people feel at home

A．2;4;5

B．1;3

C．1;4;5

D．2;3;5

【5】From the passage we can infer (推断) that ________.

A．library cats only attract children and old people

B．Garfield is one of the cats who live among books

C．library cats are not as popular as they used to be

D．every library in America has at least one cat
