Some people make you feel comfortable when they are around. You spend an hour with them and feel as if you've known them half your life. These people have something in common. And after we learn about it, we can try to do it ourselves.
Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you use these skills, they will help you make friends with people quickly.
First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost everyone will answer a question. One famous businessman said, "At business lunches, I always ask people what they did in the morning. It's a common question, but it will be helpful. " From there you can move on to other things, sometimes to really personal questions.
Second, after good talkers ask questions, they listen for the answer. They usually listen carefully so that they can tell what kind of person they are talking to.
Third, real listening means many things. First it means not to change the topic（话题）of conversation. If someone keeps talking about one topic, you can tell that he is really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones（腔调）of voice. If the voice sounds boring, it's time for you to change the topic.
Finally, good talkers know how to deal with the occasion（场合）of parting. If you're saying goodbye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, "I've really enjoyed meeting you." If you want to see that person again, don't keep it secret. Let people know how you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if they're known you half their life. Can these skills help you make friends with people?

What's the passage mainly about?
How many things can you see in the night sky? A lot! On a clear night you might see the Moon, some planets, and thousands of shining stars.
You can see even more with the help of new inventions. You might see stars where before you only saw dark space. You might see that many stars look larger than others. You might see that some stars that look white are really red or blue. With bigger and bigger telescopes you can see more and more objects in the sky. You can find out more about those objects.
But scientists believe there are some things in the sky that we will never see. We won't see them with the biggest telescope in the world, on the clearest night of the year.
That's because they can't be seen. They're the mysterious（神秘的）dead stars called black holes.
You might find it hard to imagine that stars die. But stars do burn out and die after billions of years.
As a star burns, it gives off light and heat. But when the star burns out, it begins to die.
As the star cools, the outer parts of the star pull in toward the center. The star squashes into a smaller and smaller ball. If the star was very small, the star ends up as a cold, dark ball called a black dwarf（黑矮星）. If the star was very big, it keeps squashing inward until it's packed together tighter（紧的）than anything in the universe.
Imagine if the Earth were squashed until it was the size of a tiny ball. That's how tightly this dead star, a black hole, is packed. What pulls the star in toward its center with such power? It's the same force（力量）that pulls you down when you jump—the force called gravity（重力）. A black hole is so tightly packed that its gravity sucks（吸收）in everything—even light. The light from a black hole can never come back to your eyes. That's why you see nothing but blackness.
So the next time you look up into the night sky, remember: there's more in the sky! All over in the darkness are black holes—the great mystery of space.

| A．a huge hole in the universe |

| D．why stars give heat and light |
If you find yourself in the middle of an active shooter event（枪击案现场）, your safety may depend on whether or not you have a plan.
The plan doesn't have to be difficult to follow. There are three things you could do to make a difference: Run, Hide, Fight.
RUN
First and for most, if we can get out, do it! Always try to escape（逃生）even when others insist on（坚持）staying. Encourage others to leave with us, but do not let them slow us down with the decision. Leave our things behind, and try to find out a way to get out safely. Try to get ourselves out from the harmed-way. Try to stop others walking into a dangerous area and call 110. Here are some tips for the situation when an active shooter is around you.
★If there is an escape path, try to evacuate（疏散）.
★Evacuate whether others agree to or not.
★Leave your things behind.
★Help others escape if possible.
★Stop others entering the area.
★Call 110 when you are safe.
HIDE
If we can't get out safely, we need to find a place to hide. Act quickly and quietly. Try to make sure our hiding place is good. Turn off lights and if possible, remember to lock doors. Silence our cell phones, and if we can't find a safe room, try to hide behind a large object（物体）that may protect us. Remember the following tips:
★Lock and/or blockade （put the things against） the door.
★Silence your cell phone.
★Hide behind large objects.
★Stay very quiet.
FIGHT
As a last resort（万不得已）, only if our life is in danger, whether we are alone or working together as a group, fight! We should try to do the following:
★Look for something that can be used to fight.
★Try your best to protect yourself.
