If she goes to a<br /> party where she doesn't know any of the people, she just walks up to the first person that she<br /> sees and introduces herself. And yet she doesn't seem to talk about deeply important things like<br /> politics or religion. She always starts off on something very obvious like the other person's job.<br /> Very soon she's talking as if she's known the other person for years. I asked her once what her<br /> secret was. She said that the most important thing in a conversation was listening. People love<br /> to talk about themselves, so if you allow them to do so, it's very easy to keep a conversation<br /> going. You have to listen very carefully and ask questions. And you have to look interested,<br /> too. So don't keep looking at other things in the room while you're talking to someone.<br /> Another thing that I've noticed is that she only pays people compliments. She says: “I like<br /> your hair. Which hairdresser do you go to?” or “You look very well. Have you been on<br /> holiday?” Friendly messages like this seem to provide an easy way into a conversation.<br /> <br /> Question 36: According to my aunt, the most important thing in a conversation was _____.<br /> <br /> A. speaking<br /> B. discussing<br /> C. looking<br /> D. listening<br /> Question 37: At parties where she does not know anybody, my aunt normally _____.<br /> A. feels embarrassed and stays away from people<br /> B. asks people to introduces themselves to her<br /> C. comes over to the first person and introduces herself<br /> D. sits alone and avoids talking to other people<br /> Question 38: My aunt thinks that it's very easy to keep a conversation going if you _____.<br /> A. let people talk about themselves<br /> B. let people hear about yourself<br /> C. talk about politics or religion<br /> D. ask people about their secrets<br /> Question 39: What should you NOT do when you have a conversation with someone?<br /> A. Looking very interested in his or her story<br /> B. Looking at other things in the room<br /> C. Listening very carefully and asking questions D. Paying him or her compliments<br /> Question 40: According to the passage, my aunt often starts a conversation by talking about<br /> _____.<br /> A. the other person's wealth<br /> B. the other person's health<br /> C. the other person's daily activities<br /> D. the other person's job<br /> Question 41: The word « obvious » in line 4 is closest in meaning to _____.<br /> A. important<br /> B. common<br /> C. necessary<br /> D. good<br /> Question 42: _____ seem to be very useful in starting a conversation.<br /> A.

Important things<br /> Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to<br /> indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50.<br /> For more than six million American children, coming home after school means coming<br /> back to an empty house. Some deal with the situation by watching TV. Some may hide. But<br /> all of them have something in common. They spend part of each day alone. They are called<br /> “latchkey children”. They are children who look after themselves while their parents work.<br /> And their bad condition has become a subject of concern.<br /> Lynette Long was once the principal of an elementary school. She said, “we had a<br /> school rule against wearing jewelry. A lot of kids had chains around their necks with keys<br /> attached. I was constantly telling them to put the keys inside shirts. There were so many keys;<br /> it never came to my mind what they meant.” Slowly, she learned that they were house keys.<br /> She and her husband began talking to the children who had keys. They learned of the<br /> effect working couples and single parents were having on their children. Fear was the biggest<br /> problem faced by children at home alone. One in three latchkey children the Longs talked to<br /> reported being frightened. Many had nightmares and were worried about their own safety<br /> The most common way latchkey children deal with their fears is by hiding. They may<br /> hide in a shower stall, under a bed or in a closet. The second is TV. They often turn the volume<br /> up. It’s hard to get statistics on latchkey children, the Longs have learned. Most parents are<br /> slow to admit that they leave their children alone.<br /> Question 43: The phrase “an empty house” in the passage mostly means<br /> .<br /> A. a house with too much space<br /> B. a house with no furniture<br /> C. a house with no people inside<br /> D. a house with nothing inside<br /> Question 44: One thing that the children in the passage share is that<br /> .<br /> <br /> A. they all wear jewelry<br /> B. they spend part of each day alone<br /> C. they all watch TV<br /> D. they are from single-parent families<br /> Question 45: The phrase “latchkey children” in the passage means children who<br /> A. like to carry latches and keys with them everywhere<br /> B. close doors with keys and watch TV by themselves<br /> C. look after themselves while their parents are not at home<br /> D. are locked inside houses with latches and keys<br /> Question 46: The main problem of latchkey children is that they<br /> .<br /> A. are growing in numbers<br /> B. watch too much television during the day<br /> C. are also found in middle-class families<br /> D. suffer a lot from being left alone<br /> Question 47: What is the main idea of the first paragraph?<br /> A.
