Once upon a time ， a hippo ( 河马） lived in a river next to a big tree. One day, a bird came and nested ( 筑巢） in the tree. The songs of the bird filled the hippo with so much envy ( 羡慕） that he couldn't think of anything else. Every day he would think why he wasn't born to be a bird even though the bird told him many times he was so lucky to be so big and such a good swimmer.

Finally, the hippo made up his mind that he would come out of the river, climb the tree and start singing. However, when he tried to climb the tree, it was very clear that the hippo didn’t have wings ， nor claws ( 爪子） to climb with.

Realizing that he would never climb up the tree, he angrily hit the tree until it came crashing ( 坠落） to the ground. Then he stepped onto the leaves of the fallen tree,and began singing.

Unfortunately ( 不幸地 ) ， all that came from his mouth were terrible noises and when the other animals heard this, they all came around to make fun of the hippo.

He was so ashamed by this. He also felt bad about having knocked the tree over. He used all his strength ( 力气） to raise the tree back up again ， and looked after it until it completely recovered ( 康复 ).

1 ． The hippo envied the bird because the bird __________.

2 ． The hippo tried to climb the tree, but finally he __________.

3 ． Then he was so angry that __________ and began singing on the leaves of the fallen tree.

4 ． Unfortunately, the sound he made was so __________ that the other animals all laughed at him.

5 ． At last he felt __________ about what he had done.

Some people make you feel comfortable when they are around. You spend an hour with them and feel as if you have known them half your life. These people have something in common. And once we know what it is, we can try to do it ourselves.

How is it done? Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, they’ll help people feel relaxed and make friends with them quickly.

First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question. One well-known businesswoman says, “At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. It’s a common question, but it will get things going.” From there you can move on to other matters—sometimes to really personal questions. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.

Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. This point seems clear, but it isn’t. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what type of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully and attentively. Real listening at least means some things. First it means not to change the subject of conversation. If someone sticks to one topic, you can take it as a fact that he’s really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones of voice. If the voice sounds dull, then, it’s time for you to change the subject.

Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the moment of saying goodbye. If you’re saying good-bye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, “I’ve really enjoyed meeting you.” If you want to see that person again, don’t keep it a secret. Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if they’ve known you half their life.

1. Asking questions might be a quite good and suitable way ______.

A. to begin your business talks

B. for you to make new friends

C. to get the conversation going smoothly

D. for you to impress others with your questions

2. After having asked somebody a question, it’ll be polite of you to ______.

A. go on asking him more questions B. listen to his or her reply carefully

C. sit quietly without saying anything D. make clear what kind of person he is

3. Generally speaking, good talkers are persons who ______.

A. always speak in a gentle way B. know how to change the topic properly

C. never talk too much or too little D. are good at making any topic interesting

4. If you really want to meet someone again, ______.

A. it seems necessary for you to let him know it

B. you may take him as your lifelong true friend

C. you are sure to have further understanding of him

D. it’s proper for you to give him a second handshake
