(2023上·江苏徐州·高一统考期中)I thought business cards had gone out of fashion in the digital age, but I was wrong. I attended a conference recently, and everywhere I looked I saw people exchanging contact details with small cards.
It makes you relieved to know that your new acquaintance (认识的人) has a lasting record of you - rather than having to rely on their memory. 1 . And, if someone doesn’t take your card, there’s little hope of them knowing your name beyond this conversation - right?
Well, partly. If you leave it to chance, they probably won’t keep your name in their head long. 2 .
• Be interested in them. It’s a great way to make people willing to be receptive. If they’ve got an unusual name, ask them about it. Without even realizing, they’ll be automatically more interested in who you are.
• 3 . When they realize that you know them, they’ll feel it’s even more important to remember you.
• Keep them focused. Distractions are the enemy of recall, so try not to do anything else while you introduce yourself. 4 , otherwise that thought process will replace your name in their short -term memory.
• Remind them to practise. Retrieving (检索) information is a powerful way to implant it in the brain. 5 . And if you leave enough of a gap for them to try a little to recall who you are, you’ll have the greatest impact on their memory long term.
