It was Christmas Eve when I arrived, and a light snow had fallen. Mother opened the front door. I could see beyond her, into the corner of the living room where the tree had always stood. There were lights, all colors, shining against the green of a pine.
"Where did it come from?" I asked.
"I asked the gate boy to cut it," my mother said, "I wouldn't have one just for myself, but when called—oh, such a rush! He just brought it in this afternoon." Krysal Star was in its place. A few green branches reached about a little disorderly at the side, 1 thought, and there was a bit of bare trunk showing in the middle. But the tree filled the room with warm light and the whole house with the pleasant smell of Christmas.
"It's not like the one you used to find," my mother went on, "Yours were always in good shape. I suppose the gate boy didn't know where to look. But I couldn't be critical."

听力原文: It was in 1951, during my first week at North Carolina College, a black school, the English chairman's wife, who was as light as a white woman, stopped me one day in the ball.
When I went to her office, she said, "You had the highest grade on the examination." She was talking about the exam that the entire freshman class took. In spite of her smile, her eyes and tone of voice said, "How could this blackskinned girl score higher on the test than the other students? It must be a mistake.' At North Carolina College, color was used in deciding status. The faculty assumed that lightskinned students were more intelligent, and they were always a bit surprised when a darkskinned student did well, especially if she was a girl.
When the grades for the first quarter come out, I had the highest average in the freshmen class. The chairman's wife called me into her office again, pulled out a copy of the freshman English final exam, and asked me to retake it. I couldn't believe it. It was so incredible to her that I had the highest score in the class that she was trying to test me again. I felt angry, so intense that I wanted to start hitting her. I have seldom hated anyone so deeply. I handed the exam paper back to her and walked out.

How to Be Paied Attention in the First Four Minutes
When do people decide whether or not they want to become friends? During their first four minutes together, according to a book by Dr. Leonard Zunin. In his book, "Contact: The first four minutes", he offers this advice to anyone interested in starting new friendships:" (46) . A lot of people's whole lives would change if they did just that. "
You may have noticed that the average person does not give his undivided attention to someone he has just met. (47) . If anyone has ever done this to you, you probably did not like him very much.
When we are introduced to new people, the author suggests, we should try to appear friendly and self-confident. In general, he says," People like people who like themselves. "
On the other hand, we should not make the other person think we are too sure of ourselves. It is important to appear interested and sympathetic, realizing that the other person has his own needs, fears, and hopes.
Hearing such advice, one might say," But I'm not a friendly, self-confident person. That's not my nature. It would be dishonest for me to that way. "
(48) . We can become accustomed to any changes we choose to make in our personality. "it is like getting used to a new car. It may be unfamiliar at first, hut it goes much better than the old one. "
But isn't it dishonest to give the appearance of friendly self-confidence when we don't actually feel that way? Perhaps, but according to Dr. Zunin," total honesty" is not always good for social relationships, especially during the first few minutes of contact. There is a time for everything, and a certain amount of play-acting may be best for the first few minutes of contact with a stranger. That is not the time to complain about one's health or to mention faults one finds in other people. It is not the time to tell the whole truth about one's opinions and impressions.
(49) . For a husband and wife or a parent and child, problems often arise during their first four minutes together after they have been apart. Dr. Zunin suggests that these first few minutes together be treated with care. If there are unpleasant matters to be discussed, they should be dealt with later.
The author says that interpersonal relations should be taught as a required course in every school, along with reading, writing, and mathematics. (50) . That is at least as important as how much we know.
A.In reply. Dr. Zunin would claim that a little practice can help us feel comfortable about changing our social habits
B.Much of what has been said about strangers also applies to relationships with family members and friends.
C.In his opinion, success in life depends mainly on how we get along with other people.
D.Every time you meet someone in a social situation, give him your undivided attention for four minutes.
E.He keeps looking over the other person's shoulder, as if hoping to find someone more interesting in another part of the room.
F.He is eager to make friends with everyone.

I don't want to interrupt your thoughts. But really, you are the only interesting-looking person in the room. May I talk to you? It never happened. Here is some ad vice if you would like to be a good conversationalist. Be an attentive listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves. To be interesting, be interested. Ask questions that other people will enjoy answering. Encourage them to talk about themselves and what they have done. Remember that the people you are talking to are a hundred times more interested in themselves and their problems than they are in you and your problems. A person's toothache means more to that person than a famine in Africa which kills a million people. A pain in one's arm interests one more than forty earthquakes in America.
