If you thought handshakes were just a gesture of greeting, then think again! A handshake

is not only a way of greeting; it can also show your personality. Since we all want to set a good first impression, it is important to know the right shaking hands manners.

Stand up and maintain eye contact while shaking hands. If you are seated when someone comes for a handshake, stand up and shake his or her hand. It is impolite to be still seated. Keep right distance between the two of you; not too close, but enough distance to shake your hands well. Keeping eye contact makes the other person feel welcome and comfortable.

Keep a handshake brief and firm. You let go of each other’s hand after 2-3 seconds. Make sure your handshake ends before your conversation does. One’s handshake should show a feeling of strength and warmth. The hand should be firm and not lifeless like seaweed. Then, how firm should a handshake be？ Just grasp the person’s hand completely and do not press it too hard.

21.The best title for this passage would be ().

A.Keeping Eye Contact

听力原文：Social customs and ways of behaving change. Things that were considered impolite

听力原文： Social customs and ways of behaving change. Things that were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable. Just a few years ago, it was considered impolite for a man to smoke on the street. No man who thought of himself as a gentleman would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in the room.

Customs also differ from country to country. Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country？ Or doesn't it matter？ What about table manners？ Should you use both hands when you are eating？ Should you leave one hand on your lap, or on the table？

The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. For example, in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time. Also, most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seats to a woman, and so will most Americans.

The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable--especially if they are your guests. There is an old story about a man who gave a formal dinner party. When the food was served, one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife. The other guests were shocked, but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way. It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.

(26)

A．To smoke in a public place.

B．To make a fool of oneself.

C．To smoke when a girl is in the room.

D．To spit in the street.

听力原文： Patrick Murphy about to receive a master' s degree in engineering, but he still

hadn't found the kind of job he was looking for. He was considering the possibility of working as a sales representative for an engineering company, so he made an appointment to discuss the idea with Paula Duran' s friend Ray Palmer, who used to be a sales representative for the Western Mining and Manufacturing Company.

When Patrick got to Ray' s office for their appointment, Ray shook hands and greeted him warmly. "So you think you might be interested in sales," said Ray.

"Yes," replied Patrick. "I thought you' d be able to tell me what the work' s really like. "

Ray thought for a moment, "Well, like any job, it has its good points and its bad points. One of the best things about it, though, is the independence. As a sales representative you can set your own schedule and do things your own way. "

"That sounds good," commented Patrick.

"Yeah, it' s nothing like a desk job. There' s a lot of variety in the work—getting out, seeing customers. That' s the positive side. Of course, there are some disadvantages too. Probably the worst thing is that you' re away from home a lot and you get pretty tired of airports, planes and hotels. "

Patrick nodded thoughtfully. "I see what you mean. Also, I think there' d be a lot of pressure involved. "

"There is," said Ray. "If you do well one month, they expect you to do better the next. It never stops. "...

What degree was Patrick about to receive？

A．A master' s degree in business administration.

B．A master' s degree in engineering.

C．A bachelor' s degree in engineering.

D．A doctor's degree in economics.

A smile is a strong sign of a friendly and open attitude and a willingness to communicate.

It is a positive, silent sign sent with the hope the other person will smile back. When you smile, you show you have noticed the person in a positive way. The result？ That person will usually smile back.

You might not realize a closed position is the cause of many conversational problems. A common closed position is sitting with your arms and legs crossed and your hand covering your mouth or chin. This is often called the "thinking pose". Ask yourself this question: Are you going to interrupt someone who appears to be deep in thought？ This position gives off "stay away" signs and prevents your main "sign sender" (your mouth) from being seen by others looking for inviting conversational signs.

The open body position is most effective when you place yourself within communicating distance of the other person—that is, within about five feet. Take care, however, not to enter someone's "personal space" by getting too close, too soon.

Leaning forward a little while a person is talking shows your interest and how you are listening to what the person is saying. By doing this, you are saying: I hear what you're saying, and I'm interested in—keep talking!

Often people will lean back with their hands over their mouth, chin, or behind their head in the "thinking" pose. This position gives off signs of judgment, doubt, and lack of interest from the listener. Since most people do not feel comfortable when they think they are being judged, this leaning-back position serves to prevent the speaker from continuing.

In many cultures the most common form. of first contact between two people is a handshake. Be the first to extend your hand in greeting. Couple this with a friendly "Hello", a nice smile, and your name and you have made the first step to open the lines of communication.

Eye contact should be natural, not forced or overdone. Direct eye contact shows you are listening to the other person and that you want to know about her.

A person smiles to show______.

A．he is kind and useful

B．he is happy all the time

C．he is ready to talk with you

D．he sees something funny

"Those with a large social circle are actually less satisfied with their lives than those

with a smaller group of friends who are close to them." This finding appears in a report released last week, which is a part of the product of a 1-year social research program. More than 1,000 persons are interviewed about their attitude and feeling for their friends. And those interviewed are diversified, from the perspective of gender, age, and occupation as well as marital statues.

"Of course, we can not imagine a life without any friend", said Jeff, one of the researchers from the research program, "but when it comes to friends, it is definitely not a matter of the more, the better". He also pointed out that with our growing up, the life situation in front of us will become complicated, and some of the friends, especially those we made while doing business, will turn out to be more like a burden than a support, which may sound surprising to those who haven't put too much thought into this issue.

If you are really busy, and some friendships seem to have nothing to offer you at the moment, maybe you can consider cooling the relationship for a while. When these friends invite you to a social gathering and you do not have the time to do so, decline such invitations politely. When they call you for a casual chat, and you are really having your hands full at that particular time, try to control that call to a time period acceptable for you.

We use the term "to cool some friendship", because we are by no means indicating a utilitarianism attitude towards friendship--an attitude that the value of a friend would be determined by whether or not he/she is useful for us. We agree with the general belief that friendship should be kept as something pure and lasting. What we are suggesting here is how to find a balance between the quality and quantity of friends.

So, for those friendships we cooled off for a while, if you don't want to cut them off completely, you can organize some gatherings with a few such friends on a quarterly or even yearly basis. By doing so, you can keep several friendships going on at once.

Which of the following factor is NOT mentioned when discussing the persons interviewed in the research？

A．What kind of job they are doing.

B．How old they are.

C．How much money they earn per year.

D．Whether they are married or not.
