Sometimes we all have this problem: We know the face, but why not the name?

When you meet someone, you may be focused on impressing the person with your skill and professional knowledge rather than learning more about them. You introduce yourselves and shake hands. But when you meet the person again at the event, why do you draw a blank?

“One of the biggest problems is that people don’t really hear the name,” says Kevin Horsley, a master of memory and writer of Unlimited Memory. “They’re not really concentrating (集中注意力) because they’re trying to be interesting instead of trying to be interested.” The bottom line: Thinking of a name is difficult when you haven’t taken the time to listen to it.

When you study a new subject at school or prepare for a presentation at work, it takes time to learn the material. You study and review the subject matter before a test or a meeting with a client (客户). It is the same as meeting someone once and expecting their name to appear in your mind. Horsley describes this as the “tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon (舌尖现象)”. You can’t remember the name because you never learned it properly.

There are ways to improve your recall ability.

It is easier to find something you have forgotten from your mind a short time before. Horsley recommends going back to someone shortly after your first meet. While at a party, you could say, “Hi, Jill.” Then two minutes later say, “I’m sorry, you said Jill?” This process is a predictor (预示) of whether or not you’ll know the name later.

More importantly, consider changing your mind. As with any skill, if you think you are unable to master it, you may not make an effort to improve. “There’s not such thing as a good or bad memory for names,” says Horsley. “There’s only a good or bad method.”

34．What do you pay more attention to when you meet someone for the first time?

A．Your own abilities. B．Others’ names. C．Others’ appearances. D．Your clothes.

35．What does the phrase draw a blank probably mean in Paragraph 2?

A．draw a picture B．forget something on purpose

C．cover something completely D．be unable to remember something

36．What do Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?

A．What people should do when first meeting someone.

B．What is usually on people’s mind when meeting someone new.

C．Why people are not able to remember a person’s name.

D．How to improve people’s ability to remember someone’s name.

37．Which of the following methods can be useful to help people remember others’ names?

A．Study a new subject at school.

B．Have a second conversation after a short time.

C．Introduce themselves to others again and again.

D．They can give nice presents to others after meeting for the first time.

Do you want to live a happier, less stressful life? Try laughing for no reason at all. That’s how thousands of people start their day at Laughter Clubs around the world.

The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai, India, in 1995, by Dr Madan Kataria. “Children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day,” says Dr Kataria. “Everyone’s naturally good at laughing — it’s the universal (共同的) language.” There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over 1,300 worldwide.

Many doctors are also interested in the effects of laughter on our health. According to a 5-year study at the UCLS School of Medicine in California, with laughing there is less stress in the body. Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%.

So what happens at a Laughter Club? I went along to the nearest club in the south of London to find out. I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class. I had no interest in laughing with a group of strangers, and I was worried about looking stupid (愚蠢的). Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands (拍手) and say “ho ho ho, ha ha ha” while looking at each other. Although we couldn’t tell the differences between fake laughter and real laughter, they still produced the same healthy effects.

Surprisingly, it worked! After ten minutes, everybody there was laughing for real and some people just couldn’t stop! At the end of the class I was shocked by how relaxed and comfortable I felt. So if you’re under stress, then start laughing.

41．The passage is probably taken from ______________　.

A．a storybook B．a health magazine

C．a comic book D．a travel magazine

42．The writer was nervous at the beginning of the class because _______________ .

A．he was not clever enough

B．he wasn’t interested in laughing at all

C．he wasn’t good at getting along with others

D．he knew no one there and was afraid it would look silly to laugh for no reason

43．The underlined word “fake” probably means “___________” in Chinese.

A．假的 B．真诚的

C．真的 D．难堪的

A．People feel less stressed when they laugh.

B．Adults don’t laugh as often as children.

C．People who often laugh never fall ill in their lives.

How to learn English

Dear younger sisters and brothers, as we all know, English is used very widely in the world. How can we learn it well? Here are my suggestions.

First, we should often listen to the tapes, English songs and programs. Watching English movies is also helpful to us. Second, we are supposed to speak English in class as much as possible. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. The more you speak, the fewer mistakes you’ll make. We can join the English club and practice with others. Third, we had better read more English newspapers and magazines. It’s good for us. At last, It would be better if we can recite some good passages and keep diaries.

In a word, as long as we do more listening, speaking, reading and writing, we will learn English well.
