The First Four Minutes
When do people decide whether or not they want to become friends?During their first four minutes
together,according to a book by Dr. Leonard Zunin.In his book,Contact:The First Four Minutes,he
offers this advice to anyone interested in starting new friendships:"________(46)A lot of people's whole
lives would change if they did just that."
You may have noticed that the average person does not give his undivided attention to someone he has
just met._________(47)If anyone has ever done this to you,you probably did not like him very much.
When we are introduced to new people,the author suggests,we should try to appear friendly and
self-confident. In general,he says,"People like people who like themselves".
On the other hand,we should not make the other person think we are too sure of ourselves.It is
important to appear interested and sympathetic,realizing that the other person has his own needs,fears,and
hopes.
Hearing such advice,one might say,"But I'm not a friendly,self-confident person.That's not my
nature.It would be dishonest for me to act that way."
__________(48)We can become accustomed to any changes we choose to make in our personality."It is
like getting used to a new car. It may be unfamiliar at first,but it goes much better than the old one."
But isn't it dishonest to give the appearance of friendly self-confidence when we don't actually feel that
way?Perhaps,but according to Dr. Zunin,"total honesty"is not always good for social relationships,
especially during the first few minutes of contact. There is a time for everything,and a certain amount of
play-acting may be best for the first few minutes of contact with a stranger. That is not the time to complain
about one's health or to mention faults one finds in other people.It is not the time to tell the whole truth
about one's opinions and impressions.
________(49)For a husband and wife or a parent and child,problems often arise during their first
four minutes together after they have been apart. Dr. Zunin suggests that these first few minutes together be
treated with care.If there are unpleasant matters to be discussed,they should be dealt with later.
The author says that interpersonal relations should be taught as a required course in every school,along
with reading,writing,and mathematics.__________(50)That is at least as important as how much we know.

参考解析
解析：本文主要讲与人初次见面最初四分钟对于人际交往的重要性。文章开头以自问自答 的形式提出主题，然后说Leonard Zunin博士在书中向任何想交新朋友的人提出一条建议。这 条建议肯定与初次见面的最初四分钟有关，比较一下只有D与之相关。而且人们常用祈使句 向别人提建议，D是一个祈使句，它的意思是：“每次你在社交场合遇到什么人时，全神贯注地 注意他四分钟。”和上下文意思连贯。故选D。
承接上一段，本段第一句话告诉我们有人并不按Leonard Zunin博士建议的那样做。显 然此处选E项最合适，因为它陈述的是一个具体行为，且与Leonard Zunin博士的观点相悖。
文章第三、四段建议当被引见给陌生人时，态度应当友好而自信，还应掌握好分寸。对 此，有人会说友好和自信非其本性，如果硬要装出如此态度就是不诚实。这是一种反驳意见， A项可以作为回答，"Zunin博士说只要我们稍加练习就可以改变社交习惯。”下文是对此的进 一步解释。
此前作者主要谈与陌生人相处要注意最初四分钟。从其他句子来看，本段谈的是家庭 成员之间在交往中也应注意在一起的最初四分钟，故B最合适。
本段强调人际关系的重要性，C项意为“他认为人一生中的成功主要依赖于如何与他人 相处。”其意思符合本段主题，后一句的主语that指的就是与人友好相处这件事。第6部分：完形填空
