Hi, my name is William Jackins. I'm a life and relationship coach and the owner of New York Dating Coach in New York City.
Now we'll talk about making a good first impression. You only get one chance to do that, right? A really great way to make a good first impression is to make eye contact and to show real interest in the person you're meeting. It's important to remember their names. When you first meet
somebody, you should use their names during the conversation to let them know that you remember their names.
第一部分
You should also allow them to have the spotlight. You can share information about yourself, but don't control the conversation; it's not all about you. Even if you're the most interesting person in the world, people want to talk about themselves, too. So be a great listener, ask questions and really make a point of getting to know the other person. And you know, people like to talk about themselves. So if you let them do that, then they're going to like you.
Finally, make sure you dress nicely and have good posture. Don't be negative and don't complain; no one wants to hear your problems. Just be positive, be yourself and be a good listener.

My sixyearold son, Stephen, was in front of the TV and smiled. His favorite show was about to begin—a Phoenix Suns basketball game.
“Ladies and gentlemen,” the announcer's voice was heard, “here is your starting lineup (首发阵容).” The arena (球场) darkened and the lights flashed when the players ran into the court to sing their team song. Stephen clapped and danced around. My wife Lorrie and I laughed. Stephen had been performing this for months. “One day I'm going to take you to a game, son,” I promised.
第二部分
37
About a year later, the construction company where I worked finished a project for a Suns player. One afternoon my boss called me. “The player has two extra tickets for tonight's game! Just pick them up at my office,” he said. I picked up the tickets, but felt a little disappointed when I looked at the clock. Even if I had had a helicopter, we would never have gone to the arena in time for the player introductions. Stephen would miss his favorite part! I grabbed my key, got Stephen in my car and hit the road. “Lord,” I prayed, “I'd love to see the joy on Stephen's face. Help us make it on time.”
第二部分
38
When I drove, it began to rain heavily. Suddenly, lightning flashed right near the arena! I turned on the radio to listen to the game. The announcer said there'd been a power failure at America West Arena. Everyone was fine, but there would be a delay until they got everything running. Finally, I parked the car and we walked in hurriedly to take our seats. I hoped that we hadn't missed the introductions.
第二部分
39
The very moment we entered the arena, the lights darkened. The music started. “Ladies and gentlemen, here's your starting lineup!” Stephen's eyes grew wide. There wasn't enough space for him to dance around, but I could tell that his heart was leaping more than his body was able to. Thank heaven, he hadn't missed a thing. And__neither__had__I.

In recent years, more and more people have started to take up sports and fitness. Whether you're trying to get fit, build muscles, or you're just tired of the sofa, here are some changes you can expect along the way.
You may find that working out gives you more energy at first. But prepare yourself for the day after, when you'll have aches in your muscles for about 72 hours. However, the good news is you're less likely to have them again as long as you continue to regularly exercise those same muscles.
第二部分
52
Over the next few weeks, you'll start to feel fitter, and your endurance (耐力) will increase. So running three miles will no longer feel as difficult as it did during the first week. If you focus on strength training for half a year, you'll notice your muscles begin to take shape. After one year of regular exercise, your bones will be stronger and be less likely to become weak and break easily.
Research has shown that if you're exercising regularly you're going to live longer than you would if you didn't exercise. Exercise makes people feel happier and more satisfied, because it lowers the risk of being anxious and depressed by reducing levels of stress. Of course, all of these benefits depend on the type and strength of your workout and how long you exercise for each week.
第二部分
53
On top of that, make sure you spend at least two days each week to strengthen your muscles. This will help your overall speed and endurance. As you begin, it's important to pace yourself and not to push too hard or too fast, or you'll be at risk of serious injury.

B.You'll jump higher.

第二部分
34.What does the underlined word “depressed” in the fourth paragraph mean?
A.Excited. B.Blue.
C.Nervous. D.Pleased.

Laurie sat quietly in the empty dressing room. She had not competed since the accident. As she waited for her turn to skate, Laurie was very nervous. Today was very important in her comeback (复出). “If I can win today,” she thought, “I can skate in the World Cup next year.”

She thought back to that car accident where her right knee was badly injured. She spent six total months on recovery, treatment and practice because she hoped to regain her skill.
“Hello, Laurie,” one of her friends burst in. “How's the knee? Is it going to slow you down?”
“I guess we'll find out tonight,” Laurie said.
“There's a girl named Jinny, strong in everything. She's the only real competitor you have to beat,” the friend said and hurried out.
Hearing that, Laurie decided to show her most difficult jump. “If I don't try it, I won't stand a chance,” she thought. “Does anyone believe that I can still win?”
第四部分
97
Suddenly her right knee sent pain up and down her leg. The doctor said it would do that for a while. “What makes you think you have a chance tonight?” she said to herself.
After the pain passed, she moved slowly to warm up. Then she said firmly, “I must win!”
At that moment, a young woman hurried in with a skate equipment bag. She put some of her belongings onto a chair. Her bag fell to the floor. “Hi, I'm Jinny Jordan,” she said.
Laurie felt uncomfortable as she looked at Jinny. “So this is my competitor,” thought Laurie. “Because of her, I may lose tonight.”
第四部分

“I'm Laurie Collins,” Laurie told Jinny. “Something fell out of your bag, Jinny.”
As Jinny began to gather her belongings, the door opened.
“Jinny,” someone called, “your tape of music is missing. You are the next one! Laurie, after Jinny.”
“Oh, my God! I thought I had handed it in hours ago, the green box with my name on,” screamed Jinny, hurrying out.

“Music is so important to the skating,” Laurie said thoughtfully, doing some preparation alone in the dressing room. Suddenly, she saw something under a chair. She bent over to pick it up. “Jinny's green box,” she exclaimed. “It must have rolled out of her bag.” Laurie stood motionlessly, “If Jinny doesn't have her music, she will lose. She is my only real competitor.” Laurie shivered slightly as she thought about this. Then she wondered, “Do you really want to win so much?” Laurie hesitated for a second. Then she hurried out to give Jinny her music tape. Jinny was grateful to Laurie, and finished the skating successfully.
第四部分
Minutes later, Laurie glided to the centre of the stadium when her name was called. Nervous as she was, she tried to skate in time with her music. Then she did her most difficult jump. “Good,” she thought to herself, “my right knee's holding up.” As the music ended, applause filled the stadium. When the marks appeared, Laurie knew she achieved her goal. As she walked back to the dressing room, Laurie thought about Jinny's music tape. “No one will know how close I really came to losing,” Laurie said softly to herself.
