How to have an attractive personality

Demonstrating an attractive personality is key to making friends and having lasting relationships. These traits (特性) give you the ability to inspire and fascinate others, making others more drawn to you as a result.

Listen to others.     1     Instead of responding to a text, opening an email, or thinking about your next meal, pay attention to what the other person is saying. Show them you’re listening and interested by commenting on the story or asking questions.

Speak sincerely. No one likes to be cheated.     2     If you can’t commit to something, it’s better to be honest about it than to have to tell them at the last minute that you can’t make it. When people ask for your opinion, you should be honest.

    3     You should always say what you believe in, be willing to take risks, and have the ability to admit your mistake without being worried about what other people will think. Doing this shows that you have self-confidence. This helps create an attractive personality.

Know “how” vs “what”. How you say things is arguably more important than what you say. If you try to give someone a genuine compliment, but he or she thinks you say it with a sarcastic undertone, your compliment won’t mean a thing.     4     If you notice that people often take things you say the wrong way, there’s a good chance you can change how you speak. Ask your friends to make you aware of the way you’re coming across.

Show enthusiasm for everything. Even if something makes you slightly uncomfortable, handle it with a smile on your face, an open mind, and a sense of humor. Not every day is going to be perfect, but being enthusiastic can help you accomplish anything.     5    

A.Tell people the truth.
B.You may make things bad.
C.Be aware of the way you speak.
D.Have confidence in how you speak and act.
E.When you act this way, people will love being around you.
F.Asking questions is important when it comes to confidence.
G.Listening is a trait that is often forgotten in today’s society.

【推荐1】How to cheer others up

It is nice to help a friend, family member, or partner out when he or she is feeling down. Here are some easy ways to cheer him or her up.

Just listen. Generally speaking, people who are feeling down would rather be alone.     1     All that most of us need from time to time is the space to vent (发泄感情) feelings on someone who will simply listen without responding or offering a solution.

Offer to give advice.

    2     It is as simple as asking, “Would you like my advice?” or “Would you like to know what I think?”.     3     Your friend will appreciate not only that you have advice to offer, but that you respect them by asking permission first.

    4     Sometimes, being there for your friends is all they need. Whether your friend is having a bad day or a bad month, just taking timeout of your week to spend time together can make a difference.

Make them laugh.

We are not natural comedians (喜剧演员) but that is okay. Even without being a professional comedian, we all have the ability to make our loved ones laugh.     5    

A.Reduce their stress.
B.Spend time with them.
C.Ask for permission before you offer your advice.
D.Something as simple as a hug can change a person’s day.
E.In that case, listening is a very important step to cheering someone up.
F.If they say yes, go ahead and gently offer the advice you have for them.
G.Telling a joke, making a funny face or just smiling big enough can make your friends laugh.

文章大意:本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了中国的10年期签证和申请办法。

【推荐2】If you make multiple trips to China every year, a 10-year visa can be a convenient option to consider. Let’s take a closer look at what it is and how you can apply for one.

What Is a 10-Year Visa?

A 10-year visa doesn’t permit you to stay in China for an entire decade; instead, it means that your visa remains valid for ten years. This type of visa allows short stays for tourists or business visits. The duration of each trip varies from 30–120 days based on your nationality and the purpose of your visit.

1. Download the visa application form and fill it out.

Note: when filling out the application form, please select the “10-Year Visa” option.

文章大意:这是一篇说明文。这篇文章主要讲了老年人群体中存在的沮丧问题以及帮助他们远离沮丧的一些方法。

【推荐3】About 7 million people over the age of 65 have been diagnosed with depression, and many more could be suffering. It is high time that you learned how to know the signs and help them. Depression is a big problem for seniors, especially those who are lack of care and attention. Older people are much more likely to be alone, socially isolated(孤立的) or feel a lack of purpose. Sometimes older people have a much more difficulty time admitting mental health problems. Many times, the link between depression and physical illness is much stronger.

The elderly don’t like to express sadness the way that young people do. Older people who are depressed may have more physical troubles and may pay more attention to them. Depression may result from early memory loss and meanwhile, depression will make a person forget more and faster. A patient with early memory loss and depression really needs to be treated for the depression to slow the memory loss. A mood change is also a sign of depression. If a previously calm person becomes increasingly annoyed, or a previously clean person no longer bothers to shower or clean up, that person should be considered.

Don’t tell older adults that you think they may be depressed, as older adults ----particularly men see depression as a weakness. What you should do is tell them you’re worried about their health. Tell them they seem to be out of sorts.

Say you just want to check with the doctor to see what’s going on. Once you’ve used physical symptoms to get that person to agree to a check-up, mention your fear to the doctor and allow the doctor to approach the subject of depression with the patient.

1. What is the title of the passage? (No more than 8 words)
____________________________________________________________________________.
2. For what kind of older people is depression especially a big problem? (No more than 8 words)
____________________________________________________________________________.
3. What attitude do older people have towards their mental illnesses? (No more than 10 words)

4. What’s the meaning of the underlined phrase “out of sorts” in Paragraph 4? (No more than 3 words)

5. What will you do if your grandparents suffer from depression? (No more than 25 words)
