Why read this book to find out how to win friends? Why not study the technique of the greatest winner
of friends the world has ever known? Who is he? You may meet him coming down the street. When you get
within ten feet of him, he will begin to wag its tail. If you stop and pat him, he"ll jump out of his skin to show
you how much he likes you. And you know this show of love. There is no secret motives (动机): he doesn"t
want to sell you any real estate(房产),and he doesn"t want to be your husband or wife.
Did you ever stop to think that a dog is the only animal that doesn"t have to work for a living? A hen has
to lay eggs; a cow has to give milk; and a canary has to sing. But a dog makes a living by giving you nothing
but love.
When I was five years old, my father bought a little yellow-haired young dog for fifty cents. He was the
light and joy of my childhood. Every afternoon around four thirty, he would sit in the front yard with his
beautiful eyes staring at the road, and as soon as he heard my voice or saw me through the bush, he was off
like a shot, racing breathlessly up the hill to greet me with leaps of joy and barks of cheer.
Tippy was my good companion (同伴) for five years. Then one night-I shall never forget it -he was killed
within ten feet of my head, killed by lightning. Tippy"s death was the terrible event of my childhood. You never
read a book on psychology (心理学), Tippy. You didn"t need to.
You know that one can make more friends in months by really interested in other people than one can in
two years by trying to get other people interested in him. Let me repeat that. You can make more friends in
two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people
interested in you.
B. Tippy
C. a pet dog
D. a psychology book
B. show how he liked his friend
C. tell the readers why they should read the book
D. show us how a pet dog should behave
B. do everything without secret motives
C. satisfy the needs of different people

B. Serious
C. Sad
D. Disappointed

they want to buy clothes, VCRs, or television sets.
But there is an underclass-people with low incomes and no credit history -who visit their neighborhood
pawnshops (当铺) when they need cash or a loan.
About 20 percent of the US population has no bank account. More than half of this group don"t have credit
cards and cannot get bank loans.
"These people are borrowing an average of $50," said John P. Caskey of Swarthmore College in
Swarthmore, Pennsylvania."If you add up in terms of how much dollar value pawnshops provide, they don"t
look very important. If you add up how much of the population they serve or the number of loans they make,
they are important."
Because they make loans, pawnshops are a type of bank, often calling themselves"the bank of the little
people."
Caskey and Swarthmore student Brian Zidmund in 1989 looked at the importance of pawnshops in the US
economy-the first serious study of the subject since the 1930s.
Their conclusion: pawnshops are the consumer"s lender of last resort (最后贷款人).
Pawnshop customers typically cannot get credit at banks. They have poor credit records, low and unstable
incomes, or cannot maintain positive bank account balances.
Typically, pawnshop customers borrow relatively small amounts that traditional lenders are unwilling or
unable to provide on a secured basis.
"If you look at total consumer credit, the amounts provided by pawnshops remain small," Caskey said.
"They are lending mainly to low-income people. In terms of the population they serve, they"re really important."
In 1988, there were about 6,900 pawnshops in the United States - one for every two commercial banks.
They made about 35 million loans, providing 1 percent of the nation"s consumer credit.
B. Banks for the Poor
C. Pawnshops vs. Banks
D. Commercial Banks
A. They go to local banks for help.
B. They apply for credit cards.
C. They ask for a loan from large banks.
D. They apply for a loan in pawnshops.
B. Most people prefer pawnshops for their need of cash.
C. Pawnshops are an important part of the state economy.
D. Pawnshops are not important because they make up only 1 percent of the nation"s consumer credit.
B. they make big loans to a lot of people
C. they are serving the majority of the population
D. they make a large number of loans to the poor
effort, then you can quite easily improve your ability to remember things. But even if you are successful, there
are times when your memory seems to play tricks on you.
Sometimes you remember things that really did not happen. One morning last week, for example, I got up
and found that I had left the front door unlocked all night, yet I clearly remember locking it carefully the night
before.
Memory "tricks" work the other way as well. Once in a while you remember not doing something
and then find out that you did. One day last month, for example, I was sitting in a barbershop waiting for my
turn to get a haircut, and suddenly I realized that I had got a haircut two days before at the barbershop across
the street from my office.
We always seem to find something funny and amusing in incidents caused by people"s forgetfulness or
absent-mindedness. Stories about absent-minded professors have been told for years, and we never get tired
of hearing new ones. Unfortunately, however, absent-mindedness is not always funny. There are times when
"tricks" of our memory can cause us great trouble.
B. make a conscious effort of practice and exercise
C. never stop learning
D. try hard to remember things
B. One night the writer forgot having locked the front door.
C. The writer remembered to lock the door.
D. The writer remembered unlocking the front door.
B. Absent-mindedness is more troublesome than forgetfulness.
C. Absent-minded professors are often amused by the incidents, too.
D. Absent-mindedness happens not only to professors but to all other people.
B. "Tricks" of Memory
C. The Dangers of Forgetfulness
D. The Dangers of Absent-mindedness

Take the fellow who opens: "On my way over to the club tonight, I ran into a bum (流浪汉) who asked
me for $ 49.50 for a cup of coffee. I told him he"d do much better if he asked for a quarter. He said, "Do
you think I"m going into the Ritz in these clothes?"" We know his purpose: to win his audience over with
humor. His bit of humor, however, has no connection with his speech. He has his audience laughing at the
wrong time. Once you have an audience laughing it"s hard to get them to switch to an entirely different train
of thought. There is nothing wrong with humor in a speech as long as it has something to do with the purpose
of his speech. To open a speech with humor just to be entertaining invites an almost sure"turnoff" for the
remainder of the talk.
B. A sense of humor.
C. The opening remarks.
D. A forceful ending.
B. make his audience laugh
C. be fresh and different
D. be reserved for the end
B. cause your audience to lose interest
C. make your audience go away at once
D. have your audience laugh with you
B. Humor is important in the success of your speech.
C. Your humor should be relevant (相关的) and timely.
D. An outstanding speech is full of jokes.

阅读下面短文, 然后简要回答下面5个问题。要求答语: 结构正确、书写工整、字迹清楚。
the TV, or her boyfriend, she said"the phone". Personally I could do without the phone, which makes me
unusual, because the telephone is changing our life more than any other piece of technology.
Point 1 The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more
traffic. My daughter comes home from school at 4:00 and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the
very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone didn"t exist, would she have anything to talk
about?
Point 2 The mobile phone means that we are never alone."The mobile saved my life," says Lucy. She
had an accident in her Volvo. Trapped inside, she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance.
Point 3 The mobile removes our secret. It allows Marketing Manager of a large company to ring his sales
staff all around the world at any time of day to ask where they are, where they are going, and how their last
meeting went.
Point 4 The telephone separates us. A person said,"We worked in separate offices but I could see him
through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so near-but we didn"t meet for the first two
weeks!"
Point 5 The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several complete
strangers at the same time on chat lines. We can talk across the world. We can even talk to astronauts while
they"re space-walking. And with the phone line hooked up to the computer, we can access the Internet, the
biggest library on Earth.
