Five ways to make conversation with anyone
Conversations are links, which means when you have a conversation with a new person a link gets formed and every conversation you have after that moment will strengthen the link.
You meet new people every day: the grocery worker, the cab driver, new people at work or the security guard at the door. Simply starting a conversation with them will form a link.
Here are five simple ways that you can make the first move and start a conversation with strangers.
41.__________
Suppose you are in a room with someone you don't know and something within you says ―I want to talk with this person‖- this is something the mostly happens with all of us. You wanted to say something- the first word- but it just won't come out. It feels like it is stuck somewhere, I know the feelings and here is my advice just get it out.
Just think: that is the worst that could happen? They won't talk with you? Well, they are not talking with you now!
I truly believe that once you get that first word out everything else will just flow. So keep it simple: ―Hi‖, ―Hey‖ or ―Hello‖—— do the best you can to gather all of the enthusiasm and energy you can, put on a big smile and say ―Hi‖.
42.____________________
It’s a problem all of us face: you have limited time with the person that you want to talk with and you want to make this talk, memorable.
Honestly, if we got stuck, in the rut, of ―hi‖, ―hello‖, ―how are you‖ ―and what's going on?‖ you will fail to give the initial Jolt to the conversation that can make it so memorable.
So don't be afraid, to ask more personal questions. Trust me, you’ll be surprised to see how much people are willing to share if you just ask.
43.____________________
When you meet a person for the first time, make an effort to find the things which you and that person, have in common so that you can build the conversation, from that point. When you start a conversation from there and then move outward, you will find all of a sudden that the conversation becomes a lot easier.
44.____________________
Imagine you are pouring your heart out to someone and they are just busy on their phone, and if you ask, for their attention, you get the response ―I can Multitask‖.
So when someone tries, to communicate with you, just be in that communication wholeheartedly. Make eye contact, you can feel the conversation.
45.____________________
You all came into a conversation, where you first met the person, but after some time you may have met again, and have forgotten their name. Isn't that awkward!
So remember the little details of the people you might, or you talked with; perhaps the places they have been to, the place they want to go, the things they like, the thing they hate - whatever you talk about
When you remember such thing you can automatically become investor in their wellbeing. So they feel a responsibility to you to keep bad relationship going
That's it. Five amazing ways that you can make conversation with almost anyone. Every person is a really good book to read, or to have a conversation with!

A fifth grader gets a homework assignment to select his future career path from a list of occupations. He ticks ―astronaut‖ but quickly adds ―scientist‖ to the list and selects it as well. The boy is convinced that if he reads enough, he can explore as many career paths as he likes. And so he reads——everything from encyclopaedias to science fiction novels. He reads so fervently that his parents have to institute a ―no reading policy‖ at the dinner table.
That boy was Bill Gates, and he hasn’t stopped reading yet——not even after becoming one of the most successful people on the planet. Nowadays, his reading

Part B
41、【答案】[A] (Just say it)
【解析】从下方段落中看到I truly believe that once you get that first word out everything else will just flow. So keep it simple: ―Hi‖, ―Hey‖ or ―Hello‖——do the best you can to gather all of the enthusiasm and energy you can, put on a big smile and say ―Hi‖. 中我们不难发现重复的内容say ―Hi‖, 也相当于get that first word out, 共同表达的内容就是开口说，故A (Just say it开口说) 与之完美对应。
42、【答案】[G] (Ask for an opinion)
【解析】从下方段落中出现So don’t be afraid to ask more personal questions. Trust me, you’ll be surprised to see how much people are willing to share if you just ask. 中我们不难发现重复的内容ask, 根据复现词我们不难找到G (Ask for an opinion询问看法)，与其后的―how much people are willing to share‖（人们非常愿意分享）完美对应。 43、【答案】[E] (Find the ―me too‖s)
【解析】从下方对应段落When you meet a person for the first time, make an effort to find the things which you and that person have in common so that you can build the conversation from that point…中我们找到关键词have … in common有共同点。这与E (Find the ―me too‖s 寻找共同点)完美对应。
44、【答案】[B] (Be present)
【解析】从下方对应段落So when someone tries to communicate with you, just be in that communication wholeheartedly. 因此当有人跟你跟你聊天时，要全身心的投入到谈话中，以及后面复现词eye contact进行眼神交流，我们找到B (Be present，在现场，投入当前事件中)能够与之对应。
45、【答案】[D] (Name, places, things)
【解析】从下方对应段落…but after some time you may have met again and have forgotten their name. Isn’t that awkward! …但是之后你可能再次见到时忘记了他们的名字。这不是很尴尬吗？通过反义疑问我们得知：应该要记得名字！而且随后So, remember the little details of the people you met or you talked with; perhaps the places they have been to, the places they want to go, the things they like, the things they hate.因此，请记得你遇到且与之聊过天的这些人的一些小细节，比如他们去过的地方，他们想要去的地方，他们喜欢的以及讨厌的事物等等。从这些内容中我们不难找到与之对应的小标题D (Name, places, things)
