38、man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldnt give me a lift, I should come back to his house for lunch.

46、s presented. Her gaze returns；she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card.

52、eard and theyve been understood. As a good communicator should be a good listener, five steps are advocated toward good listening.The first step is cooperating（合作）.
