　　Four beggars(乞丐) usually met at an old broken house at the end of the day. One day, they were very upset because none of them had got much in their begging bowls.

“I only got this piece of meat today,” the first said. “I hardly got anything,” the second said, “I just picked up these few vegetables outside the fruit and vegetable store.” The third complained that all he had been given was a handful of herbs(香草) that he couldn’t eat alone. The fourth beggar had not done much better. “I only got this handful of old, dried beans, but they aren’t very nice!”

　　As they sat around the fire, one of them had a great idea. “Let’s put all our food together and boil them. In this way, we can make a delicious dish and share(分享) it.” They all agreed.

　　However, the first beggar thought, “I don’t want to share. I’ll just pretend(假装) to throw my meat into the pot. They’ll never know and I’ll eat my meat later.” So he pretended to put the meat into the pot. Now the other beggars also had the same ideas as the first one, and the old broken house was so dark that no one could see what the others were doing.

　　Finally, one of them suggested that the dish should now be ready and, one by one, each of them helped himself to a bowl. They drank the hot water in silence, learning that selfishness(自私) doesn’t taste all that good.

　　C. Because he didn’t like the other beggars’ food.

Some people make you feel comfortable. You can easily spend an hour with them and feel as if you have known them your whole life. These people, who can make others feel relaxed, have great skills. If we see and notice them, we can learn a lot.

　　How do they do it? Here are several ways to put others at ease, and you can

　　learn to be a good talker.

　　First of all, good talkers ask lots of usual questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he or she is, will answer a question put to him or her. You can even ask some really personal questions. How he or she answers will let you know how far you can go.

　　Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. In order to find out what kind of person you are talking to, you really have to listen carefully.

　　Real listening means not changing the subject of conversation too often. If someone keeps talking one topic, you can take it as a fact that he or she is really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to the words, but also to how the person is speaking. What is their tone(语气) of voice? If they sound bored, then it might be time for you to change the subject.

　　Finally, good talkers know how to end a conversation. If you’re saying goodbye to someone, shake his or her hands and say, “I’ve really enjoyed meeting you.” And if you want to see that person again, don’t keep it a secret. Let them know, and they will walk away feeling as if they’ve known you their whole life.

　　73. What is the passage mainly talk about?

　　A. How to end a conversation. B. How to be a good talker.

　　C. How to start a conversation. D. How to be a good listener.

　　74. What does the underlined phrase “at ease” mean in Paragraph 2?

　　A. Healthy. B. Relaxed. C. Tired. D. Nervous.

　　75. Why is it important to listen when you talk to others?

　　A. To decide what your conversation is.

　　B. To make sure the person agrees with you.

　　C. To show the person how much you like him/her.

　　D. To find out more about the person you are talking to.

　　76. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?

　　A. If you want to be a good talker, you can ask many common questions.

　　B. You shouldn’t change the subject often if you want to be a good talker.

　　C. To be a good talker, you should listen to the answers carefully.

　　D. To be a good talker, you shouldn’t ask any personal questions.

　　Space is a lonely place. Hundreds of thousands of kilometers from home, astronauts have a hard life. So sometimes they need to have a good cry. But this is a lot harder than it sounds.

　　We still know very little about space, and about living in zero gravity(重力). In fact, we are discovering new things every time astronauts go to space. As The Atlantic reported in January, crying is not all that simple in space. This is because when people normally cry, gravity makes their tears move down. But in a spaceship, this is not the same. Here, there is no gravity, which is why we so often see pictures of astronauts floating(漂移) around. This means that, strangely, your tears have nowhere to go when you cry. As a result, they just stick to your eyes.

　　In May 2011, astronaut Andrew Feustel experienced this. “Tears,” as he said, “don’t fall off your eyes… they just stay there.” This can be quite painful. In space, your eyes get very dry, and the added moisture(水汽) is annoying. Sometimes, things get even stranger. The astronaut Ron Parise told The Atlantic that when tears get big enough, they don’t stick to your eyes any more, but break free off the eyes and float around.

　　No one can be quite sure why we cry. Why should we have tears in our eyes when we feel very sad? If you stop to think about it, crying is really a very strange thing. And now, thanks to the wonders of space, it just got even stranger.

　　77. If astronauts cry in a spaceship, their tears will .

　　A. move down B. move away C. stick to their eyes D. go out of the window

　　78. Astronauts feel if tears are always in their eyes.

　　A. lonely B. strange C. nervous D. uncomfortable

　　79. The underlined word “This” in Paragraph 2 refers to(指) “ ”.

　　A. there is no gravity in space B. space is a lonely place

　　C. astronauts have a hard life D. astronauts float around in space

　　80. The passage mainly tells us .

　　A. living in space is lonely B. it’s easy to feel sad in space

　　C. people know very little about living in zero gravity

　　D. zero gravity makes people’s tears have nowhere to go in space
