I could 6 her pain and the tension of 7 the strong feeling that were interrupted by my 8 . Suddenly， something inside me lit up. I reached out and put my arms around her. She broke then.

.任务型阅读/任务型读写
阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。
注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
Everybody likes to feel that they're the centre of attention and when making a good first impression，giving them the staring role is important to success.
It's no use giving the other person the spotlight if you're not going to listen to what he or she is saying.Don't interrupt but do make right sounds and acts to show that you're interested in what he or she is saying.
Short sentences like：“So what happened next？”or “And did you enjoy it？”are acceptable to lead the conversation forward.To be a good listener，it's also important to maintain eye contact.Nobody enjoys talking to somebody who's constantly looking around him or her as though waiting for somebody more interesting to come along.Give him or her your full attention.
Humor is fine if you know how to use it，but when making first impressions，it's probably best avoided unless you're absolutely certain you won't get lost in personal territory(领域).
Making“funny”remarks about specific social groups and situations to somebody you don't know may prove to be hurtful.In spite of how innocent the joke is，if you hurt the other person's feelings，you will have little hope to develop any future relationship.
Nobody wants to be friends with an argumentative person. So stop yourself from saying something that might upset somebody or cause an argument even if somebody says something that's totally against your own beliefs or that you know to be wrong.
You won't make a good first impression if the other person can't understand you.Others will also form opinions of you based on the way you speak.Within those first important seconds they will have judged your level of intelligence，your cultural background，your level of education and more.
