The clock struck twelve.
Scrooge looked around him for the Ghost, but he couldn't see it. Then he remembered old Jacob Marley's prediction.
He lifted his eyes, and he saw a serious Ghost. The ghost wore a black robe (
长袍
). The robe covered its head, its face and i
ts body. The only thing visible was a hand. The ghost neither spoke nor moved. Scrooge was
terrified
.
"Are you the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come?" asked Scrooge.
The Ghost didn't answer, but it pointed its hand in front of it.
"You are going to show me the future," Scrooge continued. "Am I right, Ghost?"
The Ghost nodded its head. That was the only answer Scrooge received.
"Ghost of the Future," he said, "I'm more afraid of you than of all the other ghosts. But because I want to be a better ma
n, I will go with you. Please, speak to me."
It didn't reply. The hand pointed straight in front of them.
"Lead on!" said Scrooge.
The Ghost moved forwards. Scrooge followed in the shadow of its robe. And the robe carried him along. The city sudd
enly appeared around them. There they were, in the heart of it. The Ghost stopped beside some businessmen at the Stock (
股票
) Exchange. Its hand was pointing to them, so Scrooge listened to their conversation.
"I only know he's dead," said a great fat man.
"When did he die?" asked another.
"Last night, I think."
"What was the matter with him?" asked a third.
"God knows " said the first, with a yawn.
"What has he done with his money?" asked a red-faced gentleman.
"I don't know," said the great fat man, yawning again. "He hasn't left it to me. That's all I know."
Everybody laughed.
"It will be a very small funeral (
葬礼
)," said the great fat man. "I don't think anybody will go to it."
Scrooge knew the men. And he looked towards the Ghost for an explanation. He didn't understand why this conversati
on was important. But he knew it must be.
Scrooge looked around the place. He looked at the clock. It was strange. He was usually there at this time, but he coul
dn't see himself.

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容完成表格中所缺的信息，每空一词。
Would you like to be comfortable talking to other people? Holding conversations may help. Holding conversations may
not seem like a skill. After all, everyone talks to other people frequently. But talking to new people makes many people nervou
s.
Here are some ways to make conversations more fun and less awkward (
尴尬的
).
Body language
As strange as it may seem, much communication happens without any words. The way you stand and act tells people
a lot about you. When you're talking with someone, stand up straight and look them in the eye. This shows your confidence. A
nd if you're nervous, acting like you aren't can help you feel better. When you're listening, look at the other person. Lean forwa
rd to show that you're interested in what they're saying.
Back and forth
A good conversation is not a speech, which means that both people need to participate. If you're doing all the talking,
pause to allow the other person to speak. If they don't say anything, try asking them a question.
Questions can also help if you're struggling (
挣扎
) to think what to say. Maybe they'll say something you know or you ca
n reply to. When you ask questions, try to think of open-ended ones. That means questions where the answer is more than jus
t "yes" or “no”. Open-ended questions in English usually start with
who
,
what
,
when
,
where
and
why
.
Don't fear silence.
