Question

Does this ever happen to you? Someone introduces you to a friend, you hear his or her name, and then two minutes later, you forget it. Or you go to the same restaurant every day and the owner always says “Hello” to you but you can never remember her name. If this happens, you are typical — actually most people have the problem remembering names.
Here are some ways that can help people remember names.
※ Repeat the person’s name loud at least three times while you talk together. For example, instead of saying “Nice to meet you.” say “Nice to meet you, Jack (for Sue or whatever the person’s name is).” Instead of saying “Where do you live?” you can say “Where do you live, Jack?”
※ Introduce the person by name to someone else right away.
※ Write the name down (with a little information about the person) as soon as possible.
There are other ways which may seem a little strange. However, try them.
※ Think of a story using the person’s name. For example, think to yourself, “Jack has a nice jacket.” Imagine Jack in a nice jacket.
※ Think of a rhyme（押韻）for the person’s name. For example, think to yourself, “Jack would look nice in black.” Imagine Jack wearing black clothes.
All these ways have one thing in common. You must pay attention to the people you meet. You can’t just meet someone, nod your head, say hello, and walk away. Remembering names takes work and practice.

試題分析：本文主要講述別人介紹與你認識時，你能記住他們的名字嗎？并介紹了能記住他們名字的幾種方法。
小題1:判斷推理題。由第一段中actually most people have the problem remembering names.可知事實上大部分人在記住別人名字上有困難，而不是幾乎沒人（few people---）故選B
小題2:詞義判斷題。由后一句actually most people have the problem remembering names. 可判斷The word “typical” probably means “common”.（典型的，普遍的）故選A
小題3:細節理解題。 由There are other ways which may seem a little strange. However, try them.
※ Think of a story using the person’s name.中a little strange.可知It may seem unusual to help remember a name by making up a story with it.通過由人名創作故事可能看起來有點怪，不尋常。故選A
小題4:細節理解題。由最后一段可知句意所有這些讓你記住名字的方法有一共同特點讓你必須關注別人，而非you must talk politely to the people you meet（不能單純點頭、問候、走開）故選B
小題5:主旨大意題。通過分析可知 This passage mainly tells us how to remember the others’names（如何記住別人的名字）.而不是how to get on well with others（如何與別人相處）故選B
