We moved into a beautiful twostory old house.The house was built in 1956. It was repaired in 2003.

At first, really small things began to happen. They didn’t make me believe that something was wrong, but as

time went on, things started becoming stranger and stranger. Early something was missing, and later on it would be

found somewhere else. I just thought I had forgotten where I put it, or perhaps my daughter was playing around

with things. Then later on I would hear strange sounds when nobody was at home but me. Yet it was an old house,

and sometimes old houses did make little noises, so again, I didn’t really mind.

Then things that I couldn’t explain started happening. It was last November and I was at home alone cleaning

the house. When I was sweeping the kitchen floor, I felt a very cold wind blowing my hair. I thought the kitchen

window must have been opened, but when I checked it, it was closed. The windows were new, and there was no

way any cold air came in.

We all felt very strange and moved away from there in October, 2014. I was never really frightened. It was just

strange, like something or someone was trying to get my attention or something.

While traditional wisdom tells us that we should eagerly catch every opportunity that comes our way, playing

a little hard to get has its advantages. Studies have shown that opportunities are seen to be more valuable as they

become less available, according to Robert Cialdini, a leading expert on influence, who said “What the scarcity

principle says is that people are more attracted to rare opportunities.”

Appearing available can work against you, according to Jeremy Nicholson, a social psychologist. If you're

excited about a work opportunity, it indicates that you are in low demand.

“Making something harder to get,” Dr. Nicholson said, “tends to increase at least the perception of value.” If

you are meeting with hiring managers or potential clients, Dr. Nicholson recommends that responding in a way that

respects their interest without being too eager. Dr. Nicholson advises, with responses like: “I do have a couple of

other projects to deal with. However, I could do this for you if you want.”

“It's easy to become excited when an opportunity presents itself

” Ms. Ryan, founder of Human Workplace,

said, “but remember that your power in any negotiation is related to your ability to walk away. Don't accept an offer

before fully considering the opportunity.” Once you have interest, turn that into diligence. Ms. Ryan recommends

reading up on the organization from third-party perspectives, and checking out job-search websites to see what

employees and ex-employees say about it. Keep in mind: The goal is to approach any negotiation cautiously and

with a clear head.

Appearing less available isn't about limiting our enthusiasm, but about trusting in our own self-worth so we

can be proactive, experts say. This means mindfully transforming our excitement into strategy. “Emphasizing the

uniqueness of your resources and your cooperative approach can help you more quickly advance your goals,” said

Shirli Kopelman, a professor at the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan.

8. Why is it necessary for us to appear scarce when we face opportunities?

A. Because we should strictly follow the principle about scarcity.

B. Because we should eagerly grasp opportunities coming our way.

C. Because we should value opportunities in the competitive society.

D. Because we should show rare opportunities to increase our advantages.

9. What does the underlined word “proactive” mean?

A. Accessible. B. Strategic. C. Enthusiastic. D. Limited.

10. Which of the following statements is the suggestion given by Ms. Ryan?
