Kenneth Smith， from Fort Worth， Texas， was driven from his apartment four years ago. He had been experiencing homelessness up until earlier this year， when the kindness of strangers saw him through rough times.

Smith was sitting outside of the Outback Steak house in Fort Worth one day and had fallen asleep when a stranger tapped him on the shoulder to ask if he was OK. When he replied that he was starving， she told him to wait there and went inside the restaurant.“I thought she was going in to call the police on me.” Smith said， “But she came back out and gave me a gift card of $100. She told me to go in and have a meal.”

When he later went inside to use the card， he caught the eye of the Outback manager Laura Hodges. She walked over and talked with him while he was eating. During the talk， she learned what a stranger had done and thought it was really amazing. So Hodges decided to “pass forward the good favor” and told Smith to save that gift card and come in whenever he wanted a hot meal.

Over the next few weeks， Hodges knew more about Smith. One day while they were talking， Smith said it was too hard for him to find any work， and he would offer to do some work at her restaurant. He started soon after.

After working there for about two and a half months， Smith said， “I feel good knowing that I can pay my rent， knowing that I can smile， knowing that I can do good things.” He is working toward a long-term goal of having his own restaurant.“I want to cook some good food and have people taste my food as well，” he said.

When you're meeting someone for the first time， you want to leave them a good impression.1. However， it's not just your mouth doing the talking—the way you hold yourself is just as important. Here are some tips on body language to show positivity and kindness in communication with others.

Nod and smile when appropriate （恰當的）. These nonverbal signs can show the other person that you're fully involved in what she is saying， and in agreement. Try nodding three times to show that you're really absorbing what she is saying.2！ If you turn up the corners of your mouth but your eyes stay the same， you could come off as insincere （不真心的）.

3. Don't be obvious， but try to match her body language and facial expression. By doing this， you'll help the other person feel comfortable toward you. This mirroring technique has even been shown to increase a person's good will toward the person mirroring her. If she has crossed her arms， cross your arms.4.

Laugh truly. Even if you're in a formal setting， if the other person has clearly said something that was intended to raise a laugh， laugh！5 ， and you're listening to what she is saying. Avoid laughing out of nerves or because you have nothing to say.

A. Always keep your arms crossed

B. Mirror the person you're speaking with

C. Show her that you have a sense of humor

D. It's an easy technique that can often pay off

E. Avoid touching your hair or adjusting your clothing

Body language plays a big role in communication as it gives us messages about the other person that we can interpret non-verbally just based on our feeling. There are four types to be aware of.

Eye contact is one of the most direct and powerful facial expressions. The eyes are always talking. The use of eye contact varies significantly from culture to culture. In some regions， direct eye contact is often considered a sign of trustworthiness. So， if you're in America， you should know soft， attentive （關心的） eye contact would convey honesty. However， a hard， unblinking stare will send a much different message， similar to the meaning of direct eye contact in some regions.

Gestures can be used to emphasize （強調） meaning. Pressing fingers together to form a steeple slows interest and determination. Touching the nose or rubbing eyes indicates discomfort. A hand to the back of the neck may indicate you are not interested in a conversation.

Body posture can be closed or open. A firm handshake will give the impression of honesty. Folding arms across your chest or body is protective. People with arms folded， legs crossed and bodies turned away reject messages. A head held straight up signals a neural attitude. A head sidewards indicates interest. A head down is negative.

The position of speakers and listeners： face-to-face， side-to-side， or back-to-back， can send powerful messages. In a group situation， when the leader faces the group and turns toward the one who is speaking， this conveys strong attention. When two people are communicating， competitors more possibly sit facing each other while cooperators sit side-by-side.

4. What body language can express honesty？

A. A head sidewards or touching the nose.

B. Attentive eye contact or a firm handshake.

C. A firm handshake or folding arms across one's chest.

D. Attentive eye contact or folding arms across one's chest.

5. What does the underlined word “reject” in Paragraph 4 probably mean？

A. Feel down. B. Care for.? C. Turn down. D. Agree with.

6. Which type of body language is talked about in the last paragraph？

A. Body posture. B. Gestures.? C. Facial expressions. D. Space relationship.

You're in a crowd of people who are all asking for the same thing. How do you make your voice heard above the rest？ Be different. Don't shout. Lisa， 25， was waiting to board a plane when the flight was cancelled.

“There were about a hundred of us unable to leave，” she says.“Everyone else was shouting at the airport staff. Instead ofjoining in， I walked up to the man behind the ticket desk very quietly and said， ‘This must be so awful for you！ I don't know how you deal with these situations—it's not even your fault. I could never handle it as well as you are.' Without my even asking， he found me a seat on another airline with an upgrade to first class. He was happy to do a favor for someone who was appreciative instead of unfriendliness.”

Flattery （恭維） is an essential element of the sweet-talk strategy.“It's human psychology that stroking a person's ego （自我價值感） with a few well-directed praises makes them want to prove you right，” says a psychologist.“Tell someone they're pretty and they'll instantly fix their hair.”

You need help and there's absolutely no reason that the person will want to lend a hand. Allison， a lawyer， realized she'd made a huge mistake on a batch of documents.“The only way I could fix the problem was to get the help of a colleague who I knew didn't like me，” she said.

Allison went to the woman's office and explained her problem.“As I was saying to the boss the other day you're the only person who would know how to handle a situation like this， what would you suggest I do？”“Feeling encouraged， she helped me finish the job on time，” Allison said.

1. What can we infer about the airport from Paragraph 1？

A. It is noisy.???? B. It is in danger.

C. It is busy.???? D. It is closed.

2. Why did the man put Lisa on another airline？

A. He admired Lisa's beauty.?? B. He appreciated her attitude.

C. He was ready to help others.?? D. He was moved by her words.

3. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about？

A. The benefits of ego.?? B. The strategy to start small talk.

C. The importance of flattery.?? D. The value of humor in daily life.

4. What can we learn about Allison's colleague？

A. She was a popular lawyer.?? B. She was ready to help others.

C. She got praise from Allison.?? D. She did a favor for Allison eventually.

On the second day， we went swimming， and we all enjoyed ourselves. During the next two days， we went to some tourist spot， shopping and taking photos. Several days late， we left the city. Although we were tiring on our way home， we felt happily about the holiday. What unforgettable experience！

How Body Language Makes You Popular

肢體語言是如何讓你更受歡迎的

Body language is extremely important when it comes to making good first impressions. It's always helpful to know what body cues show you in a positive light， especially during interviews or networking when you're meeting someone for the first time. It can make a difference and even make you more likeable. Keep these tips in mind when you're interacting with another person！

如果你想要創造良好的第一印象，肢體語言的作用極為重要。如果你知道了哪些肢體上的細節能給你帶來正面形象，那將會對你有很大的幫助。特別是參加面試或是你第一次與人見面時，一些肢體語言能讓你更受對方的青睞。在你和別人交流時記住以下小竅門吧！

Make eye contact. When talking to someone， making eye contact shows interest and also confidence. Don't go overboard and gaze without breaking eye contact， because that can make people feel uncomfortable. Spend the majority of the time making eye contact， but remember to briefly take breaks.

眼神交流。當你和某人交談時，眼神交流能表現出你的興趣和自信。但也不要目不轉睛直勾勾地盯著對方，那樣會讓對方感覺不適。用大部分時間作眼神交流，但也要記得偶爾放松。

Have good posture. Sit or stand up straight and avoid slouching. Slouching can make you look less professional and can possibly make you look less confident and enthusiastic.

保持好姿勢。坐著或站著的時候要筆直，不要沒精打采。沒精打采的樣子會讓你顯得不專業，也許也會讓你顯得缺乏自信和熱情。

Don't fidget . Don't fiddle with your hands or shake your leg because that can portray

nervousness or restlessness. Relax and slow down your movements.

不要坐立不安。不要擺弄雙手或抖動腿腳，那會表現出你的緊張或不安。放松一點，放慢動作。

Stay uncrossed. Keep your hands and legs uncrossed because that can make you seem cold and distant . If you're not crossing your arms， you'll look more open and less guarded.

不要交叉手腳。不要叉手盤腿，因為那樣會顯得你很冷，有距離感。如果你沒有兩手交叉，你就會顯得更開放，并且不那么具有防范性。
