22、Have you ever wondered when people will make up their minds to become friends? Dr. Leon answered the question in his book, “During their first four minutes together! Whenever you meet someone in a social situation, remember to focus your undivided attention on him for four minutes. That would change a lot of people’s whole lives.”
When you are introduced to new people, you are supposed to appear friendly and self-confident to attract them. Generally speaking, “You like those who like you.” On the other hand, it’s unwise to make others think you are too sure of yourself.
You may not sure about such advice, saying, “But In reality, I’m not either friendly or self-confident. That’s not my nature. Wouldn’t it be dishonest for me to behave that way?” For that question, Dr. Leon would tell you that a little practice can help you feel comfortable about changing your social habits. You will get used to any changes you choose to make in your personality(性格). “It’s like getting used to a new car. It may be unfamiliar at first, but it goes much better than the old.”
However, you may still wonder if it’s dishonest to give the appearance of friendly and self-confidence while you don’t actually feel that way. Perhaps, but according to Dr. Leon, “Entire honesty” is not always good for social relationships, especially during the first few minutes of two strangers’ being introduced to each other. There is a time for a certain amount of play-acting may be the best choice for the first few minutes of contacting a stranger. That is not a suitable time to complain about one’s health or to mention shortcomings you find in other people. It is not the right time to tell the whole truth about one’s opinions and impressions.
The author also makes it clear that that interpersonal(人际的) relations need to be regarded as a required course in every school, along with reading, writing, and mathematics. In his opinion, success in life depends mainly on how you get along with other people. That is at least as important as how much you know.
【1】Introduced to a new person, you are supposed to _______.
A.be sure of yourself without caring about the other’s feelings
B.be honest and always tell the whole truth even if it hurts
C.look friendly and confident at least for the first few minutes
D.directly point out faults you find in the other person
【2】The author will probably agree that interpersonal relations ________.
A.should be treated as a required course in schools
B.are more important than other courses in school
C.play an equal part as other courses in some schools
D.are the only secrets to lead you to success in life
【3】The underlined word “play-acting” in Para 4 means _________.
A.being totally honest
B.being a little dishonest
C.acting out what one feels
D.acting a role in a play
【4】The best title for the passage could be __________.
A.The Key to Success
B.Best Ways to Make Friends
C.Personal Relations
D.The First Four Minutes
23、 Are you the type of person who has to plan everything? Do you like to the surprised? Or are you the type who opens your birthday presents when you find them hidden in the closet?
How do people determine the sex. Why do people want to know, and what impact does it have on their pregnancy?

Recent studies suggest that this problem is reduced if done after 10 weeks.
Knowing the sex of your unborn baby can be for common reasons, such as decorating a baby room, or it can he for medical reasons, such as a sex-linked gene disorder.
The impact of knowing the sex of your unborn baby can be anywhere front tiny things, such as decorating a nursery to high impact such as deciding to stop a pregnancy because of a sex-linked disorder. There is also the question of accuracy and bringing your new baby boy home to his pink room and closet full of dresses.
There are ways of predicting the sex of your baby that are not as accurate, and should not be used for diagnostic (诊断的) purposes but are fun. Either way you go, whether or not you choose to know, the surprise will eventually be revealed at that magic moment when you hear.

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Love Will Melt Your Heart
The day before my daughter Norah’s fourth birthday, something she said forecast remarkable event.I’d just picked her up from preschool when she cautioned me to mind the elderly person walking across the parking lot at a glacier’s pace. She went on to explain that she has a soft spot for mature folks: “I like old people the best because they walk slowly like I do and they have soft skin like me. They’re all going to die soon, so I’ll love them before they die.” I was struck by her thoughtfulness and empathy.
The following day — her birthday — again on the way home from school, she asked if we could stop at the grocery store to buy cupcakes. How do you say no to a birthday girl? So we headed toward the bakery and picked up the cupcakes. As I was distracted by a clearance shelf, Norah was busy standing up in the cart, excitedly waving and joyfully proclaiming, “Hi, old person! It’s my birthday today!”
Before I could hush her, he stopped and turned to her. His expression softened as he replied, “Well, hello, little lady! Happy birthday!” They chatted for a few minutes. Then, Norah turned to me and asked, “Can I take a picture with him?” I told her we’d certainly ask. I approached him and asked if he’d take a photo with my daughter for her birthday. His expression changed from confused to stunned to delighted, “A photo? With me?” he asked. “Yes, sure, for my birthday!” Norah answered. And so he did, I pulled out my iPhone, and they posed together. She placed her soft hand on top of his. He wordlessly stared at her with twinkling eyes as she kept his hand in hers, kissed the top of his hand and then placed it on her cheek. They were chatting like long-lost friends. I asked his name, and he told us to call him Dan. We were blocking other shoppers, but they didn’t care. There was magic happening in the grocery store that day, and we could all feel it.
