23、   I’m Helen Blevins. I’m very lucky because I make money by doing what I love-painting pictures.

I painted my first picture when I was just four. One day, when Mom was cooking. I painted a picture on one blue wall of my bedroom. I painted myself and my dog on the grass, with red flowers around. I painted the sun above us, with a big smile on its face.

I was still painting when Mom walked into my room. Her mouth was open and she stood there quietly, looking at the wall. “I’m in big trouble,” I thought. So I was really surprised when Mom said, “What a beautiful picture, Helen!” The picture stayed on my bedroom wall and is still there today, 30 years later. I see it every time I go home to visit Mom.

I tell this story because it shows how much Mom supported（支持）my love of painting. When I was at school, she cared about my art as much as other subjects. She kept all my paintings and hung many of them on the walls of our house. She often said, “You are so talented. Follow your dream.”

Today I’m a successful painter. I’m happy that people love my paintings and hang them in their homes. I will never forget Mom’s great support!

24、   What exactly is persuasion? Persuasion is a process that enables you to change others' attitudes, opinions, or behaviors. When you are watching TV, there are so many advertisements to persuade you to buy their products. When your naughty son does not like to write his homework, you will punish him, which is also a persuasion.

Persuasion is a very important skill nowadays. It is fulfilling everywhere, every time. In many ways, persuasion combines art and science. It's an art in that it requires the ability to establish trust and strong communication skills. It's a science in that it centers on the disciplined collection and analysis of information and solidly researched principles (原则) of human behavior. Persuasion is everywhere, but the effect is very different.

When we persuade, first we should be believable. If someone is an expert in a certain field, his or her speech will be convincing when he or she expresses opinions about this field. It is interesting that if someone's aim is not to affect your opinions, and he or she has no benefit from your decision, this person seems to be more trustful. What's more, we need to be attractive. If we like someone, we will be affected by him or her on some unimportant topics. Even if this person tells us he or she wants to affect, maybe we will also be affected.

The methods of persuasion are necessary too. First you should think wise for choosing your topic. A good topic is a big impact to catch your audience. Then when you have done selecting topics, now it's time to brainstorm how you will have a deep conversation with your audience to give them more ideas about your topics. And think about who your listener is and what they want to know. How will you catch their attention to become more interested in your subject? Next, understanding your audience can help you deliver the right information that is valuable to them. To get your audience, try to add some personal experience in your topics. The way you talk to them expresses your feelings and knowledge, and it really works.

Everyone is trying to persuade someone and being persuaded. So next time you listen to a speech, watch an advertisement, think of persuasion.

【1】In Paragraph 2, the writer thinks persuasion is an art because ________.

A.they both need skills to achieve B.they both have the same topic

C.they both make the audience laugh D.they both deliver the right information

【2】Paragraph 3 is mainly about ________.

A.the meaning of persuasion B.the characteristics of persuaders

C.the importance of persuasion D.the methods of persuaders

【3】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A.Are Advertisements Worth Trusting? B.Persuasion -The Effects are Different

C.Are Good Topics Important for Persuasion? D.Persuasion -An Important Social Skill
