63、予者而不是注意力获得者”符合语境。37G解析:根据该段小标题Use peoples names more和选项G中的“when they say our names”可知答案。38C解析:由下文中“Talking about ourselves results in the same feeling of pleasure in the brain as food or money.”可知,谈论我们自己能像谈论食物和金钱一样让我们的大脑产生一种愉悦感,再结合短文开头提到的成为一个健谈的人的两个关键(更多地关注与你交谈的人、注意满足他们的需求)可知,本段小标题应该是“鼓励人们谈论他们自己”,故答
64、案为C。39F解析:根据该段小标题Repeat the last three words.及选项F中的“repetition”一词可知答案。40D解析:空前提到“Naturally, we tend to bond with people who are like us.”(我们天生倾向于和我们像的人建立联系),下文却说“.the majority said they would prefer a complementary (互补的) partner rather than a similar one”(大多数人表示,他们更喜欢与自己互补的伴侣,而不是和自己相似的)。故D项“然而,我们似乎不
