【題目】 Effective Ways to Be Successful at Events

The holiday season is upon us，and I’m frequently asked for my event success tips. Well，it all begins with taking care of one’s own spirit and keeping a positive attitude. The following are practical things that anyone can do. 【1】

·Greet everyone and wish them well. 【2】 You’re a team，for you’re all present in that location together，for the whole process of the event. So open up and join the team from the beginning.

·Shine your own light. Never mind what or how others are doing. 【3】 Put away the iPhone，iPad etc. and be present with your own light so that it shines purely.

·【4】 Express thanks for the weather，the furniture，the other people attending the event，and the opportunity to be there. Express thanks to those who spare time to talk with you. Of course if it’s a big event，you won’t get to everyone，but include those near you.

·Keep a sense of happiness throughout the event. People attending events tend to be attracted by happy souls. Your sense of happiness will positively influence those around. So I always keep my sense of humor while at events. 【5】

【解析】

本文是說(shuō)明文。文章介紹了一些能夠幫助我們游刃有余地參加社交活動(dòng)的實(shí)用技巧。如向每個(gè)人打招呼并祝好，展示自己的優(yōu)點(diǎn)，表達(dá)感謝以及保持一種幽默感。

【1】本空上一句提到“The following are practical things that anyone can do”，將介紹一些人人都可以做到的事情幫助我們游刃有余地參加社交活動(dòng)，E項(xiàng)(按照這些來(lái)做就能使參加活動(dòng)更有成效)承接上文，其中的them指的就是上一句提到的“practical things”。故選E。

【2】根據(jù)本段中的“Greet, wish, open up”等可知，本段建議敞開(kāi)心扉跟他人交流，故B項(xiàng)(進(jìn)行眼神交流，發(fā)起談話)符合此處語(yǔ)境。故選B。

【3】本空上一句提到“Never mind what or how others are doing.”不要在意別人在做什么、怎么做，也就是說(shuō)“做自己”就好。另外F項(xiàng)中的“stay focused”與本空后的“Put away the iPhone, iPad etc. ”相呼應(yīng)。故選F。

【4】根據(jù)本段中的“Express thanks for. . . ” “Express thanks to. . . ”可知，本段給出的建議是“表達(dá)謝意”。A項(xiàng)符合文意，故選A。

【5】本空上一句提到“…always keep my sense of humor…”作者總是在參加活動(dòng)時(shí)保持幽默感，因?yàn)?/span>“它能讓人們大笑并傳遞快樂(lè)”。且該段的第一句為其主題句，建議人們對(duì)周圍的事物保持一種幽默感。D項(xiàng)中的It指的就是humor。D項(xiàng)符合文意，故選D。
