1、 Holding conversations may not seem like a skill. After all, everyone often talks to other people. 1.但是与陌生人交谈使人觉得有点紧张和尴尬。 Here are some ways to make conversations more fun and less embarrassing.
Body language
Although it may seem strange, much communication happens without any words. 2.The way you stand and act tells people a lot about you. When you're talking with someone, stand up straight and look them in the eye. This shows that you're talking confidently. And if you're nervous, acting like you're confident can help you feel more confident. When you're listening, look at the other person. Lean (倚靠) forward to show that you're interested in what they're saying.
Back and forth
A good conversation is not a speech, which means that both people need to take part in. If you're doing all the talking, 3.停下来给别人说话的机会。 If they don't say anything, try asking them a question.
Ask questions
Questions can also help if you're struggling (努力的) to think of something to say. If you ask the other person a question, they'll talk for a while. Maybe they'll say something you relate with and can reply to. 4.People are generally excited to find others with similar interests. When you ask questions, try to come up with open-ended ones. That means questions where the answer is more than just "yes" or "no". Open-ended questions in English usually start with who, what, when, where and why.
Don't fear silence
Don't scare if the conversation has quiet moments. Every conversation has some. 5.Think of them as opportunities to change the subject to something you're interested in. You could also talk about something you've done recently. Or once again, you can ask a question about the other person.
As with any skill, you will improve at holding conversations with time. So if you're shy, be brave, ask a question, and start a conversation.

24、 China covers large areas and has a great population. Different living habits have always been an interesting topic in the country. Recently, another difference between southern Chinese and northern Chinese became a hot one: The way people shop at markets.
People from southern China say that they always buy what they need for just one or two meals. It is normal for them to buy half of a Chinese cabbage, two potatoes and 0.25 kilograms of beef at a time.
However, one may be laughed at if he does this in the north. Instead, buying vegetables and meat enough for a week is usual.
Also, you can buy a small amount(数量) of fruit, such as a single apple or pear, each time in the south. Shopkeepers even help you peel( 去 皮 ) and cut them. But shopkeepers in the north hardly offer such service. And many fruits are sold in baskets and boxes.The difference could be due to the different weather.
Food can be kept for a long time in the north, as it is usually cold and dry there. Many northern Chinese have the habit of keeping food, especially for the long winter. But the hot and wet weather in the south makes southern Chinese buy just enough food for one meal or one day, or else the food may go bad.
【1】In southern China, at a time people usually buy .

A.Because the weather is always hot and wet.
B.Because food goes bad quickly and easily there.
C.Because the weather is usually cold and dry.

25、This is a tale of two friends ---one is blind, the other has no arms. On their own, the two are “disabled”. But together, they are a powerful team that has changed part of their village in North China’s Hebei Province into a rich, green forest. Meet 53-year-old Jia Haixia and Jia Wenqi!
Their story began in 2000, when Haixia, who was already blind in his right eye, lost his left one after an illness. Wenqi lost his arms in an accident when he was just three. Neither could find a job, so the two decided to team up. They rented some poor land and began to plant trees. In return, the local officials paid them a small fee. Haixia and Wenqi never imagined that they would end up creating an environmental paradise. Their forest now has over 10,000 trees, hundreds of birds and many other wild animals. In addition, it saves the village from river flooding during the rainy season. When the friends work together, they focus on their strengths not their disabilities. Their day begins at 7 a.m. when the sightless Haixia carries Wenqi across the river to get to their worksite. Since they cannot afford to buy young trees to plant, the two use branches from existing trees. Haixia climbs to the tree-top and with Wenqi’s direction, selects the perfect branch. He then digs a hole and carefully plants it. Finally Wenqi waters the area. )
Though hard-working, the men don’t make much money. But as Wenqi puts it, “We stand on our own feet, so the fruits of our work taste sweeter.”
Neither Haixia nor Wenqi cares about money. Together, they already have everything they need --- a perfect pair of eyes, two strong hands, and the best friendship in the world!
【1】 Why did Haixia and Wenqi start working together?
A. Haixia needed someone to help him.
B. They both needed a way to make money.
C. They wanted to improve the environment.
D. They were required to do so by local offcials.
【2】Haixia and Wenqi’s forest has helped the village by ________.
A. stopping floods in the rainy season
B. increasing the number of tourists
C. making the villagers richer
D. providing more farmland
【3】Why do Haixia and Wenqi plant tree branches?
A. They are easy to get.
B. They do not cost money.
C. They can grow very quickly.
D. They are preferred by animals.
【4】In paragraph 5, when Wenqi says “We stand on our own feet, so the fruits of our work taste sweeter”, he means that “________”.
A. they hope to make the forest even better
B. the fruits from their trees are very sweet
C. they are proud not to depend on others
D. they are able to do any difficult work
【5】 What can we learn from this story?
