Humans are born with the ability to communicate, but some people are 31. better (good) at it than others. Some people are very good with words and find it easy 32. to express (express) their ideas to other people. But others find it difficult to express 33. themselves (they) well, especially in public. The good news is that people can learn communication skills. Here are some 34. pieces (piece) of advice.
Remember that talking to other people depends on (取决于) body language and facial expressions (面部表情) besides words. If you look and sound confident, people will pay attention 35. to what you say, even if you don't feel so confident. Look people in the eye 36. when you talk to them. It makes you seem more honest and 37. friendly (friend), and people will find it easier and more fun to talk to you.
Practise 38. listening (listen) to other people. The most important part of communication is listening. That's why we have two ears and one mouth. When listening to people, watching their faces and body language will help you better understand them.
Think before you open your mouth. 39. The best communicators express their ideas in short and simple words. Now we 40. have learned/have learnt (learn) how to convince(使信服) people of something. So be clear and use as few words as possible.

答案： 31 better 32 to express 33 themselves 34 pieces 35 to 36 when 37 friendly 38 listening 39 The 40 have learned/have learnt

阅读短文,然后根据内容回答问题。
Has someone ever warmly held a door open for you? How do you feel after playing with friends? And what is your favourite family memory? These questions have one thing in common: they're all about connecting with people. "Let's Connect" is the theme of this year's Children's Mental(精神的) Health Week. It encourages people to improve mental health by building healthy social connections.
Humans naturally connect with others, whether it's family, friends or people in our community(社区). Healthy connections give people energy and support—we all need people to celebrate and share our worries with. Social connections aren't just about mental health; they improve physical health too, helping us live a long life.
Then how to connect with others? "You can reach out and connect with people in so many different ways," says Julia Clements, the organiser behind Children's Mental Health Week. You can connect in person or online, with your friends, parents, teachers or classmates. It's not just people, either. "Some people feel connected with their pets or nature," says Clements. She agrees talking to others can be helpful to a lonely person. She advises making time to build more connections through actions as well as words.
Everybody may feel lonely sometimes and refuse to talk to others. "Remember that there are always people that care for you," advises Clements.
