“In my country, men usually go to restaurants on their own. They always take their shoes off before they go in. Then they usually sit on the floor around a small, low table. In the evening they often sing songs.”

“No man is an island” is well-known from John Donne’s Devotion, written more than three hundred years ago. Even now people still agree with him. No one can live a completely isolated life. Without other people, life becomes empty and sad. We all need to have friends.

For some of us, making friends is not difficult. However, feeling sheepish (窘迫的, 难为情的), we may not want to make the first move. And it is difficult at times to keep the friends we already have.

There are many books about friendship, but Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence People, written in 1936, is the most famous. This book is about getting along with other people became a best seller. It was later put into 28 languages.

Dale Carnegie’s advice seems to be simple, but can his advice help you? Do you need to change the way you act? Here is the list of advice from his book:

2. Go out of your way to be nice. Find time to do some special things for other people. Making some soup for a sick neighbor may seem like a small thing to you, but it will make your neighbor feel much better.

3. Remember names. It says that the sweetest music to a person’s ears is the sound of his or her own name.

4. Be open-minded. Try to understand other people’s ways and ideas, and learn something from them.

5. Listen patiently. When someone is talking to you, look at him or her. Listen carefully and say something when necessary.

46. The underlined sentence “No one can live a completely isolated life.” means ______ in this passage.

When I was 14, I began an after-school job to work for a newspaper, The Houston Post. I was sent to some of the city’s worst neighborhoods to sell newspapers door to door. Even though the work was very hard, I was thankful for it.

It was a challenge because people didn’t like a stranger knocking on their doors, especially a kid trying to get them to buy something. Once a man closed his door in my face heavily and shouted, “I don’t want any paper.” I forced myself to knock again and was able to tell him how great the paper was. I ended up selling him a subscription(订阅). I was soon among the top subscription sellers and, like other successful salesmen , was given responsibility(责任) for training newcomers.

Around this time I started playing the guitar. Before long I was playing in a band. When I turned 18, I tried to become a professional musician. I never lost sight of this dream. I’m sure it came from what I learned from knocking on strangers’ doors.

That experience helped me in many ways. Early in my music career I was locked in a legal dispute (纠纷) with a former manager. He pressured me to back off, but I refused.

Having all those doors closed in my face as a kid gave me the strength to stand up to this man. But this time there was one difference: I was the one saying no. And I won.

51. When a stranger knocked on people’s doors, they would become ______ to the stranger.

A. thankful B. rude C. polite D. helpful 52. The underlined word “forced” means “______”.

A. 远离 B.提出 C.料想 D.强迫 53. From the passage, we know if a person wants to be successful, he ______.

A. can often give up what he is doing B. should persevere in (坚持) doing what he is doing C. had better do different things D. should try to knock on others’ doors 54. Which of the following is NOT true about the writer? A. He began his after-school job at the age of 14. B. He soon became one of the top subscription sellers.

C. He said yes to the former manager when he was pressured to back off. D. The experience helped him in many ways.

55. We can infer that the writer became ______ when he grew up.

A. a professor B. a newspaper editor C. a musician D. a job trainer
