Mother， seated at the far end of the sofa， was 　2　， with the second-hand green typewriter on the table. She told me that she couldn't 　3　 fast and then she was out of work. My shock and embarrassment at finding mother in tears was a perfect proof of how 　4　I understood the pressure on her. Sitting beside her on the sofa， I began very slowly to understand. “ I guess we all have to 　5　 something，” Mother said quietly. I could 　6　 her pain and the tension of 　7　the strong feeling that were interrupted by my 　8　. Suddenly， something inside me lit up. I reached out and put my arms around her. She broke then. She put her face 　9　my shoulder and sobbed. I held her 　10　 and didn't try to talk. I knew I was doing what I should， what I could and that was 　11　. At that moment， feeling Mother's 　12　with feelings， I understood for the first time her being easy to 　13　. She was still my mother， 　14　she was something 　15?。?a person like me， capable of fear and 　16　and failure. I could feel her pain as she must have felt mine on a thousand occasions when I sought 　17　in her arms.

　　A week later mother took a job selling dry goods at half the salary the radio station 　18　. “ It's a job I can do， though.” she said simply. But the evening practice on the green typewriter continued. I had a very 　19　feeling now when I passed her door at night and heard her 　20　away across the paper. I knew there was something more going on in there than a woman learning to type.

　　.任務型閱讀/任務型讀寫

　　閱讀下面短文，根據所讀內容在表格中的空白處填入恰當的單詞。

　　注意：每個空格只填一個單詞。

　　Everybody likes to feel that they're the centre of attention and when making a good first impression，giving them the staring role is important to success.

　　It's no use giving the other person the spotlight if you're not going to listen to what he or she is saying.Don't interrupt but do make right sounds and acts to show that you're interested in what he or she is saying.

　　Short sentences like：“So what happened next？”or “And did you enjoy it？”are acceptable to lead the conversation forward.To be a good listener，it's also important to maintain eye contact.Nobody enjoys talking to somebody who's constantly looking around him or her as though waiting for somebody more interesting to come along.Give him or her your full attention.

　　Humor is fine if you know how to use it，but when making first impressions，it's probably best avoided unless you're absolutely certain you won't get lost in personal territory(領域).

　　Making“funny”remarks about specific social groups and situations to somebody you don't know may prove to be hurtful.In spite of how innocent the joke is，if you hurt the other person's feelings，you will have little hope to develop any future relationship.

　　Nobody wants to be friends with an argumentative person. So stop yourself from saying something that might upset somebody or cause an argument even if somebody says something that's totally against your own beliefs or that you know to be wrong.

　　You won't make a good first impression if the other person can't understand you.Others will also form opinions of you based on the way you speak.Within those first important seconds they will have judged your level of intelligence，your cultural background，your level of education and more.
