注释：
1.People like people who like themselves.:人们喜欢那些有自信心的人。这里的who like themselves不作“喜欢自己”解，根据上下文，可以解释为“有自信的人”。
2.“total honesty”is not always good for social relationships:在社会关系上“绝对的诚实”并非总是好的。
3.... a certain amount of play-acting may be best for the first few minutes of contact with a stranger.：……在和陌生人接触的头几分钟，适当演一点儿戏是最合适不过的了。
4.apply to:适用于
5.required course ：必修课

答案与题解：
1.D木文主要讲与人初次见而最初四分钟对下人际交往的重要性。文章开头以自问自答的形式提出主题，然后说Leonard Zunin博士在书中向任何想交新朋友的人提出一条建议。什么建议呢?比较一下只有把D放在这里最合适，因为人们常用祈使句向别人提建议，D是一个祈使句，它的意思是：“每次你在社交场合遇到什么人时，全神贯注地注意他四分钟。”和上下文总思连贯。
