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
30、 that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, theyll help you put people at their ease, 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. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.Second, on
31、ce good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. And to find out what sort of person you are talking to, you really have to listen carefully and attentively.Real listening at least means some things. First it means not to change the subject of the conversation. Real listening also m
32、eans not just listening to words but to tones of voice. If the voice sounds dull, then, its time for you to change the subject.Finally, good talkers know well now to deal with the occasion of parting. If you want to see that person again, dont keep it a secret. Let people know what you feel, and the

36、ms necessary for you to let him know itCits proper for you to give him a second handshakeDitll be helpful for you to have further understanding of him（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.CWe experience different forms of the suns energy every day. The sun is the major source of energy for our planet. It causes the evap
37、oration (蒸发) of water from the oceans and lakes. Sunlight also provides the energy used by green plants to make their own food.Much of the energy that comes from the sun never reaches the earths surface. It is either reflected or absorbed by the gases in the upper atmosphere. Of the energy that reac
38、hes the lower atmosphere, 30% is reflected by clouds or the earths surface. The remaining 70% warms the surface of the planet, causes water to evaporate, and provides energy for the water cycle and weather. Only a tiny part, approximately 0.023%, is actually used by green plants to produce food.Many
39、 gases found in the atmosphere actually reflect heat energy escaping from the earths surface back to the earth. These gases act like the glass of a greenhouse in that they allow energy from the sun to enter but prevent energy form leaving. They are therefore called greenhouse gases.When sunlight str
40、ikes an object, some of the energy is absorbed and some is reflected. The amount reflected depends on the surface. Dark-colored surfaces, such as dark soil or forest, absorb more energy.（分数：3.00）(1).According to the passage, the root cause for weather changes on the earth is _.Athe atmosphere surrou
41、nding the earth Bwater from oceans and lakesCenergy from the sun Dgreenhouse gases in the sky（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Only a small part of the suns energy reaches the earths surface because most of it is _.Aabsorbed by the clouds in the lower atmosphereBreflected by the gases in the upper atmosphereClos
42、t in the upper and lower atmosphereDused to evaporate water from the oceans and lakes（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).We learn from the passage that _.Aall living things on the earth depend on the sun for their foodBa forest looks dark in winter because it absorbs solar energyConly 0.023 of the energy from the
43、sun is made use of on the earthDgreenhouse gases allow heat energy to escape from the earths surface（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.DMost of you would probably say that what makes you truly happy is your family and the love you share in your relationships, and I couldnt agree more. But money comes into play in tho
44、se relationships.When I talk about money this way to a group, there is always someone who comes up to me and says, “Suze, you are so wrong. Money isnt the key to lifethis is!“ At which point their wallet flies open and they show me a photo of their family.Thats when things get interesting, because I
45、 start asking them questions: Did you take that photo with your own camera? It looks like a beautiful beach, was the photo taken on a family vacation? Do you hope to help those beautiful boys and girls go to college?As their answers are “yes“, I ask them how they provide all of that for their family
46、. Thats when they understand that I had it right.I totally agree that family and friends are of great importance to our well being; without meaningful relationships, theres no chance of ever being truly happy. Thats why, every Saturday night, I end my CNBC show with the following words: “People firs
47、t. Then money. Then things.“How we deal with the money we have also plays into our happiness. Over the past few decades (十年), the percentage of Americans who say theyre happy hasnt changed much, while at the same time the average income has doubled. So we have more money, but were not much happier o
48、n average.A paradox (悖论)? Far from it. My sense is that while were making more money, we arent making more of the money we make. We have to pay for a lot of things, and we have to worry about saving for retirement (退休) in a way that our parents and grandparents never did. And as many of you know, its really hard to increase your happiness when youve got a lot of money worries.Do you agree, or am I way off base? Id love to know what do you think about the money/ happiness connection.（分数：
