【題目】
Do you want to become better at making small talk with new people? Do you want to become better at networking with others? Nothing will improve your networking ability and your ability to make a successful conversation with other people rather than your curiosity about them.
When you are curious about other people, you will want to discover some of the interesting ways that they are similar to you. When you are curious about them, you’ll also be interested to discover the ways in which they think differently and live differently from you.
When you have curiosity about others, you will be much less self-conscious and your conversations will work a lot better. Instead of worrying yourself, “What can I say next that won’t sound stupid?” you will be focused on learning more about the other person.
Making small talk with strangers can be tricky. We’ve all heard the advice that we should pick something out of our immediate environment and use that as a main point to start our small talk with the other person.
It’s true that this can be a great starting point for a conversation. However, when you focus too much on discussing things like the weather in your city, you can bring the conversation to a painful end very quickly. The other person will sense that you are trying to make a conversation, but that you have no interest in really getting to know him or her.
How can you keep small talk from becoming boring?
One way is to watch the other person for clues they will give you about what is really interesting to them. When you get these clues, use them to start making the conversation a bit more about their life, their opinions, and their experiences.
After you have had a couple of minutes to break the ice, try looking for ways to make the conversation a little bit more personal. Ask the other person for his or her opinion about something that is a bit more personal but not extremely so. The first few minutes of talking to someone new will not be the best time to ask the other person his or her opinion on religious (宗教的) or political(政治的) matters. However, he or she might be happy to discuss his or her favorite team or musical band.

【題目】
If you want to improve your relations with others, there are several ways to do it. You could invite them out to get to know them better, though this might lead to a bad ending if you don't already get on. You could force yourself to like them, even though all your feelings are telling you that you don't. Or you could try the Benjamin Franklin Effect.
Benjamin Franklin was one of the founding fathers of American independence and he's also famous for many scientific achievements. A year after his death in 1793, one book about his life was published and it is there that we find an explanation to what has become known as "the Benjamin Franklin Effect".
In this book, Franklin tells a story about an assemblyman(州眾議院議員) who had snubbed(冷 落)him on several occasions. Franklin asked if he might borrow a certain unusual book from the assemblyman's library. The assemblyman helped Franklin find the book. Franklin thanked him and from then on, they became best friends. Franklin learned the lesson that when you asked someone for help and they helped, they are more willing to give you a hand in future than if you had been the one helping them.
The effect has been proven in a 1969 study by Jon Jecker and David Landy who found that a speechmaker who asked students to lend him some money was more liked by these students better than by those who hadn't been asked. When we ask a person to give us a hand, we are expressing that we consider them to have something we don't, whether more intelligence, more knowledge, more skills, or whatever. This is another way of showing respect and immediately raises their opinion of us and makes them more willing to help us again both because they enjoy the admiration and have honestly started to like us.
Now work out a chance to ask for help from a person that you don't get on with and that would cost them nothing. It could be advice, practical help, or a bit of their time, whatever. Treat this person with your request in a positive and honest spirit.
【1】According to the Effect, if you want to get others to like you, you should________.
A.ask for help from themB.invite them to your home
C.give a hand to them firstD.force yourself to like them
【2】Which of following is true about Benjamin Franklin?
A.He's a practical assemblyman.B.He discovered a lot in science.
C.The Effect was named by himselfD.He got money through the Effect.
【3】What does the last paragraph tell us?
A.To use Benjamin Franklin Effect.B.To prove Benjamin Franklin Effect.
C.To realize Benjamin Franklin Effect.D.To introduce Benjamin Franklin Effect.
