32、 her artworks much too expensively.Sometimes we all have this problem: We know the face, but why not the name?When you meet someone, you may be focused on impressing the person with your skill and professional knowledge rather than learning more about them. You introduce yourselves and shake hands.

33、But when you meet the person again at the event, why do you draw a blank?“One of the biggest problems is that people dont really hear the name,” says Kevin Horsley, a master of memory and writer of Unlimited Memory. “Theyre not really concentrating (集中注意力) because theyre trying to be interesting ins

34、tead of trying to be interested.” The bottom line: Thinking of a name is difficult when you havent taken the time to listen to it.When you study a new subject at school or prepare for a presentation at work, it takes time to learn the material. You study and review the subject matter before a test o

35、r a meeting with a client (客户). It is the same as meeting someone once and expecting their name to appear in your mind. Horsley describes this as the “tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon (舌尖现象)”. You cant remember the name because you never learned it properly.There are ways to improve your recall ability.

36、It is easier to find something you have forgotten from your mind a short time before. Horsley recommends going back to someone shortly after your first meet. While at a party, you could say, “Hi, Jill.” Then two minutes later say, “Im sorry, you said Jill?” This process is a predictor (预示) of whethe

37、r or not youll know the name later.More importantly, consider changing your mind. As with any skill, if you think you are unable to master it, you may not make an effort to improve. “Theres not such thing as a good or bad memory for names,” says Horsley. “Theres only a good or bad method.”37What do

38、you pay more attention to when you meet someone for the first time?AYour own abilities.BOthers names.COthers appearances.DYour clothes.38What does the phrase draw a blank probably mean in Paragraph 2?Adraw a pictureBforget something on purposeCcover something completelyDbe unable to remember somethi

39、ng39What do Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?AWhat people should do when first meeting someone.BWhat is usually on peoples mind when meeting someone new.CWhy people are not able to remember a persons name.DHow to improve peoples ability to remember someones name.40Which of the following

40、 methods can be useful to help people remember others names?AStudy a new subject at school.BHave a second conversation after a short time.CIntroduce themselves to others again and again.DThey can give nice presents to others after meeting for the first time.The students were excited and a little bit
