Why doesn’t she have a shell?” The mother snail answered, “That’s because a caterpillar will become a butterfly. She can fly high into the sky. The sky can protect her.” The baby snail had another question, “But the earthworm moves like us. He has no bones and he won’t turn into a butterfly. Why doesn’t he carry a hard and heavy shell?” “Because he can dig a hole and hide under the ground and then the earth can protect him.” The baby snail cried, “We’re so poor!

C We need to talk a lot with our friends and family to build good relationships(关系)in our life. How can we improve our talking skills? Here are four ways for you to learn. Never speak when the other person is speaking. If you do this, it’s just like saying, “I don’t care what you’re saying. What I have to say is more important.” Don’t finish other people’s words. Studies show that doing this will make people lose interest in talking with you because you’re taking control of the conversation(谈话). Repeat (重复) what the other person said. To show you have really understood someone, say what they have just said before you tell them your idea. △By looking at the other person in the eye, you are showing that you are interested in what they’re saying. This also helps you listen more carefully. 11. In order to improve our talking skills, how many ways are mentioned(提到)in this passage? ________ A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four. 12. When others are speaking, it’s better to ________. A. say something important B. look at the ground C. listen to them without speaking D. help them finish their words 13.
