I was barely 10 years old when my dad gave me the responsibility (责任) of feeding the chickens and cleaning up the stable. He believed it was important for me to have those jobs to
30、learn responsibility. Then, when I was 22, I found a job in Natchbill at a country music club called the Natchbill Palace, I washed dishes and cooked from 4: 00 pm to 9: 00 pm and then went on stage and sang until 2:00 in the morning. It wasnt long before I became known as a singing cook. I had been
31、 rejected so many times by record companies that it was hard not to be discouraged. One night, a woman executive (懂null) from a company named Warner Brothers Records came to hear me sing. When the show was over, we sat down and talked and after she left, I said to myself it was one more rejection. A

My best efforts had gone into every job Ive ever held. It was the sense of responsibility that made me feel like
33、a man. Knowing that I had done my best filled me with pride. I still feel that way today, even though I have become a well-known singer. 46. Why was the writer once known as the singing cook? A.

B Some people make you feel comfortable when they are around. You spend an hour with them and feel as if you have known them half your life. These people ha
36、ve 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 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
37、 anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question. One well-known businesswoman says, “At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. Its a common question, but it will get things going.” From there you can move on to other matterssometimes to really personal questions.
38、And how he answers will let you know how far you can go. Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. This point seems clear, but it isnt. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to li
39、sten carefully and attentively. Real listening at least means some things. First it means not to change the subject of conversation. If someone sticks to one topic, you can take it as a fact that hes really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones of voic
40、e. If the voice sounds dull, then, its time for you to change the subject. Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the occasion of parting. If youre saying good-bye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, “Ive really enjoyed meeting you.” If you want to see that person again, dont keep
41、it a secret. Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if theyve known you half their life. 49. Asking questions might be a quite good and suitable way _.

44、r lifelong trustworthy friend B. it seems necessary for you to let him know it C. its proper for you to give him a second handshake D. itll be helpful for you to have further understanding of him C _53_ .Being angry doesnt really solve much, but what people do when they feel angry is important. The
45、goal is to calm down and try to solve what is bothering you. This is hard for some kids and adults, too. Instead of calming down, some kids might keep getting more and more upset until they explode like a volcano! _54_ .Their anger might be so strong that they lose control of their temper.
