How to Make a Good Impression
Research shows that we start to make up our minds about people within seven seconds of meeting them. Much of the communication is unspoken. Consciously or unconsciously, we show our true feelings with our eyes, faces, bodies and attitudes. At the same time, we cause in each other a chain of emotional reactions, ranging from comfort to fear.
Think about some of your most memorable meetings: an introduction to your future spouse, a job interview, or an en counter with a stranger. Focus on the first seven seconds. What did you feel and think? How did you "read" the other person, and how do you think he read you?
You are the message.
For 25 years I've worked with thousands of business and political leaders, show business personalities, and other men and women who want to be successful. I've helped them make persuasive presentations, answer unfriendly questions, communicate more effectively. The secret of that training has always been that you(the whole you) are the message.
If you use your good qualities, other people will want to be with you and cooperate with you. The personal qualities include: physical appearance, energy, rate of speech, pitch, and tone of voice, gestures, expressiveness of eyes, and the ability to hold the interest of others. Another person will form. an impression about you based on all of these.
Now recall three times in your life when you know you made a good impression. What made you successful? I'm sure of this: you were committed to what you were talking about, and you were so absorbed in the moment that you lost all self consciousness.
Be yourself.
Many how-to books advise you to stride into a room and show your personality to impress. They instruct you to greet others with "power handshakes". They tell you to fix your eyes on the other person. If you follow all this advice, you'll drive everyone crazy—including yourself.
The trick is to be consistently you, at your best. The most effective people never change character from one situation to another. They're the same whether they're having an intimate conversation, addressing their garden club or being inter viewed for a job. They communicate with their whole being. The tones of their voices and their gestures completely go with their words.
Public speakers, however, often send confusing signals to their audience. My favorite is the kind who say, "Ladies and gentlemen, I’m very happy to be here", while looking at their shoes. They don't look happy. They look angry, frightening or depressed.
The audience will always go with what they see over what they hear. They think, "He's telling me he's happy, but he's not. He's not being honest."
Use your eyes.
Whether you're talking to one person or one hundred, always remember to look at them. Some people start to say something while looking right at you, but, three words into the sentence, they break eye contact and look out the window.
As you enter a room, move your eyes comfortably, then look directly at those in the room and smile. This demonstrates that you are at ease. Some people think entering a room full of people is like going into a lion's cage. I disagree. If I did agree, however, I am sure I wouldn't look at my feet, and I wouldn't look at the ceiling. I'd keep my eye on the lion!
Smiling is important. The best type of smile and eye contact is gentle and comfortable, not forced.
Listen before you leap.
My father taught me the idea of "absorbing" other people before showing myself. He said, "Boy, you can't learn any thing when you’re talking." I before showing myself He said, "Boy, you can't lear anything when you're talking."

Introductions
Every day we encounter people in a variety of business and social situations. The way we meet and greet them creates lasting impressions and paves the way for a productive encounter, Introductions project information. Besides the obvious elements of name. title, and affiliation (关系), an introduction conveys a level of respect and reflects how the person making the introduction views the other person's status. Mastering the art of the introduction will help put you and the people you are introducing at ease. Learning the basics--and they are not very difficult --is the first step.
The most important point about introductions is to make them. Failing to do so causes embarrassment and discomfort. A second important point in any introduction is the order of names. The name of the person being introduced is mentioned last. and the person to whom the introduction is made is mentioned first. The rules for who is introduced to whom depends on whether it's a business or a social introduction.
Business Introductions
In business, introductions are based on power and hierarchy (等级). Simply, persons of lesser authority are introduced to persons of greater authority. Gender plays no role in business etiquette (礼节): nor does it affect the order of introductions. For example, you would say, "Mr. / Ms, Greater Authority. I would like to introduce Mr./Ms. Lesser Authority."
Social Introductions
Social etiquette is based on chivalry(骑士精神), so both formal and informal introductions are made according to age, then gender, and then social status. The man would be introduced to the woman in a social situation unless the man is obviously a great deal older, in which case one would defer(听从,服从) to age over gender.
As you make the introduction, include a brief but meaningful piece of information about each of the people to explain their uniqueness or importance. But never qualify a description by saying "my best client" or "my dearest friend" because the automatic implication is that the other person holds a lower position in your personal hierarchy. When in doubt, be less personal rather than more personal.
The Nuances (细微差别)
As you say each of the individuals' names, look at him or her. In this way, you focus attention on them and make them feel important. Once a conversation has begun and everyone seems at ease, you may excuse yourself.
When introducing peers to one another, mention both the first and last names. It doesn't matter who is introduced to whom. Including a little bit of information that might start the conversational ball rolling is always a good idea. Even if everyone in a group is on a first name basis, introduce people by both first and last names.
Introducing Yourself
If no one introduces you, step in and introduce yourself. Someone may be too embarrassed to admit forgetting a name or may be distracted by other matters. Feeling slighted because you were not introduced only puts you at a disadvantage. Introduce yourself by extending your hand, smiling and saying something like, "I'm Matt Jones, David's partner." Avoid making any comment such as "Helen works for me" that might be considered as arrogance or superiority. Instead, say, "Helen and I work in the same office."
As a guest, it's your duty to circulate and introduce yourself at any function, large or small, especially if the host or hostess is busy. The fact that you are both there is sufficient justification to introduce yourself to anyone at the gathering. By only sticking to those people you already know, you'll never expand your horizons or make new acquaintances.
Always use both names when introducing yourself to convey the message that you take yourself seriously as an adult and expect the same treatment from others. And, since you don't know how comf

"How was your weekend?"
This question comes up at workplaces all over the United States every Monday morning as people greet each other. It is another way of saying, "How did you spend your leisure time?"
In the Unites States the way people spend their leisure time is an important part of their identity. Perhaps everybody does nearly the same thing all day in the office or the factory, but leisure time is what makes people distinct and reveals who they are.
For many people, leisure time means going somewhere -- to a museum, a concert, a restaurant, or a baseball game. Or it means doing something such as playing volleyball, backpacking, swimming, singing in a chorus (合唱), or playing in a park with their children. For other people, free time means staying home with wonderful sources of entertainment, such as VCR, stereo or cable TV with dozens of channels. Others pursue creative activities such as cooking, gardening, and home improvement. The latest stay-at, home activity is "surfing (冲浪) the net" -- that is, looking for information and entertainment on the Internet.
In the United States, leisure time is big business. Enormous amounts of money are spent by competing enterprises that make and sell the goods and services that people use in their free time. In fact, shopping itself is an important leisure time activity. Spending a day at a giant mall has become, for some people, as interesting as spending the day at museum or amusement park.
People in the United States are ultimately not much different from others in what they do in their leisure time. The real difference may lie in the energy, time, money, and sheer enthusiasm that they devote to it.
Why do Americans often greet each other by asking "How did you spend your leisure time?"
A.Because they are interested in the different pastime activities.
B.Because leisure time is what makes people different from each other.
C.Because they are bored with the job they have done for the whole week.
D.Because everybody does the same thing all day long.
