If you want to improve your relations with others, there are several ways to do it. You could invite them out to get to know them better, though this might lead to a bad ending if you don't already get on. You could force yourself to like them, even though all your feelings are telling you that you don't. Or you could try the Benjamin Franklin Effect.

Benjamin Franklin was one of the founding fathers of American independence and he's also famous for many scientific achievements. A year after his death in 1793, one book about his life was published and it is there that we find an explanation to what has become known as "the Benjamin Franklin Effect".

In this book, Franklin tells a story about an assemblyman（州众议院议员） who had snubbed（冷 落）him on several occasions. Franklin asked if he might borrow a certain unusual book from the assemblyman's library. The assemblyman helped Franklin find the book. Franklin thanked him and from then on, they became best friends. Franklin learned the lesson that when you asked someone for help and they helped, they are more willing to give you a hand in future than if you had been the one helping them.

The effect has been proven in a 1969 study by Jon Jecker and David Landy who found that a speechmaker who asked students to lend him some money was more liked by these students better than by those who hadn't been asked. When we ask a person to give us a hand, we are expressing that we consider them to have something we don't, whether more intelligence, more knowledge, more skills, or whatever. This is another way of showing respect and immediately raises their opinion of us and makes them more willing to help us again both because they enjoy the admiration and have honestly started to like us.

Now work out a chance to ask for help from a person that you don't get on with and that would cost them nothing. It could be advice, practical help, or a bit of their time, whatever. Treat this person with your request in a positive and honest spirit.

【小题1】According to the Effect, if you want to get others to like you, you should________.
A．ask for help from themB．invite them to your home
C．give a hand to them firstD．force yourself to like them
【小题2】Which of following is true about Benjamin Franklin?
A．He's a practical assemblyman.B．He discovered a lot in science.
C．The Effect was named by himselfD．He got money through the Effect.
【小题3】What does the last paragraph tell us?
A．To use Benjamin Franklin Effect.B．To prove Benjamin Franklin Effect.

Learn to love your body

Pictures, videos, advertisements and shop windows keep feeding us messages about how we should look. It's hard to love your body these days. But according to Psychology Today, accepting how you look can make you happier. How can we do that? Here are some tips:

【小题1】 They will show you that there's not only one single standard(标准) for beauty. They think it's normal to have different body shapes and it's OK that people show different ideas about beauty. Just learn to accept your body shape and show yourself with confidence.

【小题2】 Your body keeps you alive, carries you every day, and protects you in many ways. Every morning when you wake up in the bed, thank your body for resting itself so that you can enjoy your day. Every evening when you go to bed tell your body how much you appreciate what it has allowed you to do throughout the day.

【小题3】 Remember what your mother used to say? If you haven't got anything nice to say, don't say it at all. If you wouldn't tell your best friend that her arms look fat in that dress, you certainly should never say it to yourself.

【小题4】Forget about what you look like. Make a list of ten things you like about yourself that have nothing to do with your appearance. Your kindness, sense of humor and your courageous spirit are all much better traits to focus on than stretch marks or belly rolls.

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 yon meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual．For example，you could make a mental note: "Vicki Cheng -- tall, black hair.” To reinforce (加强) 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 just 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. That's fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others -- an automatic review for you.
