5 . It seems that some people were simply born charming. When they enter a room, everyone notices their presence. They are like magnets.       1       The key is to have certain habits that charming people have in common.

⚫   Charming People Give You Their Undivided Attention

Stop to think about two or three likable people you know. Do they constantly check   their   phone   while   you   are   talking   to   them?   Do   they   continually   redirect conversations to themselves so they can become the center of attention? Probably not. They ask you intelligent questions and show a true interest in what’s going on in your life.           2    

⚫They Follow Through

    3       They are not “all words and no action.” Average people often say “Let me know if you need any help” . However, when it comes to the crunch and you turn to them for help, the answer will often be “I’d really love to help, but…” There’s always a “but.”     4       If they say they will help, they will.

They Take Real Pleasure in Proactively Helping Others

Charming people don’t preach or tell you how to do things, and they certainly don’t brag about their own lives and successes.       5       They will likely refuse any “reward” offered as they expect nothing in return. And they are the ones helping you even if you don’t ask for it.

In a word, charming people will always let their actions talk for them instead of words. If we were all wired that way, we would probably become popular too.

A．They always surprise you with something new.

B．You won’t find this with charming people, however.

C．Therefore, don’t make promises that you can not keep.

D．They take delight in giving you a helping hand proactively instead.

E．They focus on being “interested” rather than appearing “interesting.”

F．One common quality of charming people is that they stick to their words.

G．However, we are all born with the ability to attract other people’s interest in us.

9 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

One day, 8-year-old Mary and her 10-year-old sister, Jane, had to go to a beauty salon (美容院) on Clinton Street to have their hair cut. Mary’s dad asked them to reach there by themselves on the public bus. Mary and Jane had a 5:00 appointment (预约). Their dad couldn’t go with them because he worked until 6:00 pm.

Their dad told Mary to wait outside the school at 4:30 pm for Jane so they could take the bus to the beauty salon together. Then he would pick them up at the salon after he got off work. Mary was nervous, thinking, “What if someone tries to follow us? What if we miss the stop? I have never ridden the bus without my dad before.” Her dad took a look at her and said, “You’ll be just fine. Listen to your sister and help her look out for your stop.” Then he gave Jane some money and went off to work.

All day at school, Mary kept looking at the clock, afraid of the end of the school day. On the other hand, Mary’s dad was also nervous. The whole time in his office he kept looking at the clock, thinking about his daughters. He actually left work at 4:00 pm that day. But after reaching Mary’s school, he considered it a good chance for them to overcome fear in life. He decided to stay in his car to see whether his girls could get on the bus safely.

When it was 4:30 pm, Mary went to the school gate and waited for Jane. Jane got there in a few minutes, and they walked quietly to the bus stop. A few high school teenagers and a woman stood at the bus stop. Jane asked the woman if the bus stopping there was the Number 2 heading toward Clinton Street.

The woman nodded her head and said with a smile, “Yes.”
