B(2017·河南省灵宝市检测)Remembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it.●Recite and repeat in conversation.When you hear a person's name, repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.●Ask the other person to recite and repeat.You can let other people help you remember their names. After you've been introduced to someone, ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort you're making to learn their names.●Admit you don't know.Admitting that you can't remember someone's name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy if you say, “I'm working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again？”●Use associations.Link each person you meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example, you could make a mental note: “Vicki Cheng－tall, black hair.” To reinforce your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.●Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning first names. Last names can come later.●Go early.Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. There're fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others—an automatic review for you.24．How will most people feel when you try hard to remember theirnames?A．They will be moved.B．They will be annoyed.C．They will be delighted.D．They will be discouraged.25．If you can't remember someone's name, you may ________.A．tell him the truthB．tell him a white lieC．ask him for pityD．ask others to help you26．What does the text mainly tell us?A．Tips on an important social skill.B．Importance of attending parties.C．How to make use of associations.D．How to recite and repeat names.答案与解析本文是一篇应用文，作者就在各种场合下如何记住别人的名字提出了一些建议。
