Remembering names is an important social skill．Here are some ways to master it．
Recite and repeat in conversation．
When you hear a person’s name，repeat it．Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips．You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial．
Ask the other person to recite and repeat．
You can let other people help you remember their names．After you’ve been introduced to someone，ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you．Most people will be pleased by the effort you’re making to learn their names．
Admit you don’t know．
Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed．Most of them will feel sympathy if you say．“I’m working to remember names better．Yours is right on the tip of my tongue．What is it again?”
Use associations．
Link each person yon meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual．For example，you could make a mental note: "Vicki Cheng -- tall, black hair. " To reinforce (加强) your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.
Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.
When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.
Go early.
Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. That's fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others -- an automatic review for you.
69. How will most people feel when you try hard to remember their names?
A. They will be moved.
B. They will be annoyed.
C. They will be delighted.
D. They will be discouraged.

B. Importance of attending parties.
C. How to make use of associations.
D. How to recite and repeat names.

When the famous dancer Fred Astaire was interviewed for a job by a Hollywood producer, the movie "expert" turned him down, saying, "Can't sing. Can't act. Dances a little." Here's another stupid mistake. When the great scientist Albert Einstein was at school, his teachers considered him rather dull. And a final story, the famous Polish pianist Paderewski was told by a teacher that he would never be a success as a performer because the middle finger on each hand was too short.
What lessons can be drawn from these three experiences? First, true genius(天才) cannot be suppressed(压抑).For some reason or other it works its way out. Second, early judgments of a person's abilities may be unfair or just wrong. Third, when there is a real determination to succeed, obstacles fall by the wayside.
The famous motto "ad astra per aspera" can be translated as " To the stars through hardships".Astaire, Einstein and Paderewski proved their critics wrong.
73. Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?
A. Fred Astaire was a famous dancer.
B. True ability will always make itself known.
C. Some people never get discouraged.
D. Albert Einstein proved his teachers wrong.
74. When Paderewski's teachers told him he'd never be a success, they were
_______.
A. being humorous
B. cheerful, though concerned
C. somewhat hesitant
D. seriously mistaken
75. "Ad astra per aspera" is used in the passage _______.
A. as a motto for the three men's lives
B. to show the value of Latin
C. to send the reader to the dictionary
D. to point out that genius is always recognized early

The dreaded final exams cause anxiety for most students. Fortunately, there are certain measures that you can take to ease the stress caused by an upcoming test.
It is unwise to believe that you can do all the studying you need in just the last night before the exam.Indeed,doing an“all-nighter”leaves your brain tired and full of jumbled thoughts and ideas in the morning . Indeed, try to begin prepareing at least a week in advance. This way, you can cover different parts of the material each night. Also, if you study in shorter increaments each night, you leave yourself free to get a sufficient amount of sleep. When it comes to preparing for a test, your body and mind need as much rest as possible.
Regardless of your natural intelligence, you will not be successful in any class if you do not take notes. It is best to try and write down every piece of information that your teacher offers. Try writing down review questions for yourself in the margins(页边)of your notes .When it comes to study time,read over all of your notes thoroughly and try answering all of your review questions. Repeat this process each day for at least a week prior to the test. By the time the actual test rolls around ,you should be thoroughly prepared and confident in your abilities to do well.
When you have a test in the morning, try to get at least eight hours of sleep.Getting a sufficient amount of sleep ensures that your mind works efficiently. Eat a full breakfast in the morning .Fresh fruit and oatmeal is an excellent breakfast that provides you with energy and stamina.Drink plenty of water when you get up in the morning. Also, be sure to get rid of any sort of discomfort during the test. Make sure you use the toilet before the test begins as
