It was a sunny day. A little boy's father was sitting on the couch, drinking a beer while watching【K1】 1 basketball match. Seeing this, the boy rushed to his father and shouted, "Daddy, show me how to play catch!" The father, staring【K2】 2 the television screen, replied, "Let me finish watching the match. Play outside and come back in five minutes. " "Okay, Daddy!" said the boy, running out of the room. Five minutes later, the boy returned【K3】 3 (scream), "Daddy, Let's play catch now!" By this time, the father had opened another cold beer and another match was beginning. 【K4】 4 (patient) with the boy' s interruption, the dad brought a magazine to his son. On the cover of the magazine was a large picture of the world. The father, who was angry and【K5】 5 (bother) , began tearing the magazine cover into small【K6】 6 . Then, the father turned to his boy and said, "Son, once you put this picture back together, we can play catch, but do not interrupt me a-gain【K7】 7 you finish. " A few minutes later, the boy returned and said, "I have finished, Daddy! Can we play catch now?"【K8】 8 (surprise), the father glanced towards his child, and【K9】 9 lay the magazine with the world pieced perfectly together in his small hands. The dad asked his child how he put the world together so quickly. "【K10】 10 was simple," said the boy. "On the back of the world was the picture of a person, and once I put the person together, that's when the world came together." 【K1】

One afternoon I was sitting at my favorite table in a restaurant, waiting for the food I had ordered. Suddenly I【C1】______ that a man sitting at a table near the window kept glancing in my direction,【C2】______ he knew me. The man had a newspaper【C3】______ in front of him, which he was【C4】______ to read, but I could【C5】______ that he was keeping an eye on me.

We found that bar at last. I didn't have to ask again, for there it was in big red neon letters over the window—Star Bar. There were some iron tables outside with plastic chairs around them. A few people sat around, looking at a portable television set that someone had brought out of the bar. They were all in thin summer dresses or short shirts; even at that late hour it was stifling. Two thin dogs lay under one of the tables with their tongues out, and some of the women were fanning themselves unenthusiastically(无精打采地)with magazines. "He's not here," I said, after a quick look around. The television was speaking out an advertisement for a detergent (洗衣粉), and the people sitting round had their eyes glued to the picture of a woman proudly showing how white her husband' s underwear was after having been washed. They took no notice of us at all. "Well, what did you expect?" replied Fergus, yawning(打呵欠). "It's only half past nine, and he said he would be here at nine. You ought to know Graig by this time. He'll turn up sometime after ten."

Some people make you feel comfortable when they are around. These people have something in common. And once we know what it is we can try to do it ourselves. How is it done? Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, they'll help you put people at their ease, and make friends with them quickly. First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go. Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. And to find out what sort of person you are talking to, you really have to listen carefully and attentively. Real listening at least means some things. First it means not to change the subject of the conversation. Real listening also means not just listening to words but to tones of voice. If the voice sounds dull, then, it's time for you to change the subject. Finally, good talkers know well now to deal with the occasion of parting. If you want to see that person again, don't keep it a secret. Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if they've known you half their life.

Most of you would probably say that what makes you truly happy is your family and the love you share in your relationships, and I couldn't agree more. But money comes into play in those relationships. When I talk about money this way to a group, there is always someone who comes up to me and says, "Suze, you are so wrong. Money isn't the key to life—this is!" At which point their wallet flies open and they show me a photo of their family. That's when things get interesting, because I start asking them questions: Did you take that photo with your own camera? It looks like a beautiful beach, was the photo taken on a family vacation? Do you hope to help those beautiful boys and girls go to college? As their answers are "yes", I ask them how they provide all of that for their family. That's when they understand that I had it right. I totally agree that family and friends are of great importance to our well being; without meaningful relationships, there's no chance of ever being truly happy. That's why, every Saturday night, I end my CNBC show with the following words: "People first. Then money. Then things." How we deal with the money we have also plays into our happiness. Over the past few decades (十年), the percentage of Americans who say they're happy hasn't changed much, while at the same time the average income has doubled. So we have more money, but we're not much happier on average. A paradox (悖论)? Far from it. My sense is that while we're making more money, we arent't making more of the money we make. We have to pay for a lot of things, and we have to worry about saving for retirement(退休)in a way that our parents and grandparents never did. And as many of you know, it's really hard to increase your happiness when you've got a lot of money worries. Do you agree, or am I way off base? I'd love to know what do you think about the money/ happiness connection.

Last year, my brother and I went to Miami for a vacation. Some of my friends who had been there before said【K1】 1 was a wonderful holiday destination. Before we went, we had planned for months. When the day came, we were ready. After our plane landed, we went to the hotel. We' had made our reservation six months【K2】 2 (early), but the man at the front desk said there had been a mistake. We were told that our rooms hadn't been reserved for that week,【K3】 3 for the week after. I didn't understand【K4】 4 this would happen and my credit card had already been charged【K5】 5 the reservation. What's worse, the hotel had been fully booked. When we were wondering what to do, the manager came out. She was【K6】 6 (surprise) helpful. She【K7】 7 (apology) for the mistake and gave us a spare VIP room on【K8】 8 top floor. We had never stayed in such an amazing room, and we weren't charged extra. The next day, my brother and I went to the beach【K9】 9 we watched some people play volleyball. We got a little【K10】 10 (sunburn), but the day had been so relaxing that we didn't mind. 【K1】

It was the first snow of winter. Up until now, I had been able to dress myself for recess(课间休息) , but today I would need some help. Miss king, my kindergarten teacher, may still remember this one. I managed to get into my snow pants, but I struggled with my jacket because it did not fit well. It was a hand-me-down from my brother. Finally it was time to have Miss King help me with my boots. She said, "By the end of winter, you will be able to put on your own boots." I handed her my boots, and she managed to get the first one into place and then worked the second one on, too. I said, "They are on the wrong feet." She struggled to get the boots off and tried again. Then I said, "These aren't my boots, they are my brother's boots and I hate them!" Somehow, she managed to act as though I was not an annoying little girl. She pushed and shoved, less gently this time and the boots were returned to their proper place on my feet. Seeing the end of her struggle with me, she asked, "Now, where are your gloves?" I looked into her eyes and said, "I did not want to lose them, so I put them into the toes of my boots."
