Every day we meet people in a number of business and social situations. And the way we meet and greet them creates an impression. It’s important to do so in a proper way, no matter whether you are introducing yourself to someone, or introducing two people. To keep you aware of this, we have gathered tips on how to make a proper introduction.

◎Always stand when making an introduction.

When you are seated and someone comes up to greet you, make the effort to stand up. By doing this, you show respect for yourself and for the other person.

◎Always keep eye contact while making an introduction.

Many people are not aware of the value of this simple action. When you make eye contact, you are giving a confident image.

◎Always introduce a person of lesser authority to one of greater authority. The most important thing to remember is to say the most important person’s name first.

For example, when introducing your supervisor to a job candidate (求職應(yīng)征者), you would give your supervisor’s name first. “Bob Jones, may I introduce Susan Lee, who has just graduated from ABC University?”

◎In a situation where rank is unimportant, an introduction is based on sex and age. A man is presented to a woman and a younger woman to an older woman.

What if you find yourself in a situation where you have forgotten the other person’s name? Start with a handshake and reintroduce (再介紹) yourself. When doing this, you will usually cause the other person to do the same.  

However, if the other person does not take your suggestion, it is OK simply to apologize and let the person know that you cannot remember her or his name. This is not the ideal situation, of course, but it does happen to all of us. The other person should be forgiving.

The article gives you advice on ________.

how to make a self-introduction

how to make a proper introduction

how to leave a good impression on people

how to greet people in social situations

According to the passage, people will think you are ________ if you don’t make eye contact with them.  

A. not honest       B. not confident        C. shy        D. unfriendly

What should you do when you introduce a new worker to your boss?

A. You should not give your boss’ name.

B. You should give the new worker’s name first.

C. You needn’t give your boss’ name

D. You should give your boss’ name first

If you forget the other person’s name, you’d better _______.

A. ask him/her directly

B. apologize first and then ask him/her

C. shake hands with the person and reintroduce yourself

D. consider his age first

Doris is looking forward to getting the garden into shape and Eric has his heart set on a spot of fly fishing. The difference is that Eric is 102, Doris is 87. Eric thinks he's Britain's oldest emigrant.

In January next year Eric King Turner and his wife of 12 years will wave goodbye to their neighbors, and set sail from Southampton on the voyage of a lifetime. The ocean liner (遠(yuǎn)洋客輪)Saga Rose will take six weeks to get to Auckland and the couple are expecting a red-carpet welcome from family.

Doris was born in New Zealand but gave up her homeland when the couple met and married in the late 1990s. But New Zealand is close to both their hearts and the attraction of family and friends, and the good fishing helped to persuade them to move.

Doris, who has five children and nine grandchildren, supported her husband's application to settle in New Zealand. The paperwork took five months. Eric says, "We not only had to produce a marriage certificate（證書） but we had to produce evidence that we were in a long and stable relationship!" He also said he was not asked about his age but had to show that he could support himself financially (財(cái)政上) in New Zealand.

"I like New Zealand. The way of life is very much the same as it is here but it is not so crowded." His wife has always been “a little bit homesick” but has never complained. Now the couple are in the middle of the task of sorting out possessions and selling their flat.

What makes the couple's move to New Zealand special?

Thomas Edison was one of ten said to be the greatest genius（天才） of his age. There are only a few men in all of the history, who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light. But Edison could never be happy only because someone said he was a genius.“ There is no such thing as genius,” Edison said. He said that what people called genius was mostly hard work.
But Edison was a dreamer as well as a worker. From his earliest days as a child he wondered about the secrets of nature. Nature, he often said, is full of secrets. He tried to understand them; then, he tried to learn what could usefully be done with them.
Edison enjoyed thinking. He knew that most people will do almost anything instead of the difficult work of thinking, especially if they do not think very often. But he knew, too, that thinking can give men enjoyment and pleasure.
Edison could not understand how anyone could be uninterested in life. As he loved to think, he also loved to work. On the day he became 75 years old, someone asked him what ideas he had about life. “Work,” he answered. “Discovering the secrets of nature and using them to make men happier.” He said he had enough inventions in his mind to give him another 100 years of work.
【小題1】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A．Edison invented the electric light.
B．Many other people have changed Edison’s life.
C．Edison has changed the life of many other people.
D．Few men in history can change other people’s life.
【小題2】Edison thought ____________.
A．he could be happy if he was a genius
B．genius plays the most important part in one’s success
C．hard work could do better than genius
D．genius could do better than hard work
【小題3】In Edison’s opinion, ____________.
A．thinking can supply people with enjoyment and pleasure as well as help
B．people’s successs lies mostly in genius
C．hard work is the second important thing in making people successful
D．there are few secrets for him to discover later
【小題4】The last sentence in the passage most probably implies(暗示） ____________.
A．life is too short for Edison to invent more for human beings
B．Edison made 100 inventions in his life
C．Edison was able to live and work for 100 years
D．People of his time were ready to give Edison another 100 years’ work
