Think of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit and you keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce (彈跳) back.
But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit, are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be broken. They will never be the same. You must understand that and try to have balance in your life. How?
Don’t look down on your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different and each of us is special.
Don’t let other people set goals for you. Only you know what is best for yourself.
Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
Don’t be afraid of difficulties. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going.
Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is a treasure you can always carry easily.
Don’t use time or words carelessly. You can’t get them back. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift; that’s why we call it “the present” Life is not a competition, but a trip, step by step.
【小題1】The passage tells us not to _________ because everyone is special.

A．be afraid of difficulties
B．be afraid to learn
C．run through life so fast
D．compare yourself with others to look down on your worth

A．Nothing is possible
B．If we don’t give up, there is always hope
C．You should learn to give up
D．Although you try, nothing will change.
【小題3】The best way to keep love is to ___________.
A．say it’s impossibleB．give it
C．give it wingsD．hold it tightly
【小題4】According to the passage, which is the best title? ___________
A．Nothing is impossible.

Small talk is pleasant conversation about common interests. The ability to make “small talk” is highly valued. But making small talk is difficult not only for English learners, but also for many native speakers of English. Most English learners may have difficulty discussing topics they are unfamiliar with because of lack of(缺少) suitable vocabulary.

Now that we understand the problem, the next step is to improve the situation. Here are some tips to improve small talk skills.

◆Do some research

Spend time on the Internet, books, magazines, TVs to special about the type of people you will meet, and this can make your conversations more interesting.

◆Use the Internet for specific vocabulary

◆Ask yourself about your culture

Take time to make a list of common things that you will discuss when making small talk in your own culture. And then check to make sure that you have the English vocabulary to make small talk about those subjects.

◆Find common interests

◆Listen

Don’t get so worried about being able to communicate that you don’t listen. Listening carefully will help you understand and encourage those speaking to you.
