“Mind your own business.” we're told.“Don't talk about others behind their backs.”The problem with this advice is that,not only is it unrealistic,it's also counterproductive(起反作用的).
Common sense holds that gossip(流言蜚语)hurts people's feelings and damages relationships.But recent research shows the opposite—that strong communities and relationships between people would be impossible without gossip.
Gossip is a way for people to let you know the limits of social behavior.“If you move into a community and your neighbor tells you how the former homeowner never dealt with his rubbish properly,his gossip is letting you in on something,”says Dr.Ralph Rosnow of Temple University.“Gossip says:these are the boundaries and you are crossing them.You're not abiding by the rules and you'd better get back in line.” Seen this way,gossip is a way to communicate criticism(批评)without conflict(冲突),giving you a chance to change your behavior without losing face.
On the other hand,what about ill-willed gossip,the kind that puts other people down? Gossip is hearing something we like about someone we don't and,in nearly every country in the world,gossip magazines have huge numbers of readers.According to researchers,however,this kind of gossip also has a good side because it helps us put our own problems in perspective(正确地).“If we read bad news about well-known people,or get the frightful details of our neighbors' bad situation over a cup of coffee,our own problems begin to pale in comparison(对比),”says Dr.Jack Levin of Northeastern University.
However,that doesn't mean that gossip is necessarily a good thing,either.Researchers found that people who gossip a lot tend to feel like they're under a lot of stress.This might be because while they're busy talking about other people,they're also busy thinking what other people are saying about them.

What do you think is an important social skill? I think it's being polite. It can help you make friends, show respect and achieve success. Here are some tips to help you be polite. 

Greet people politely. You can be polite by offering a proper greeting. When first meeting or greeting someone, give him a warm smile. It shows that you are in good spirits and are happy to see him. Also, shake hands to show respect. 

Make small talks. Instead of jumping right into business. You can make small talks first. Talk about their lunch or their day. Listen carefully and pay attention to what they are saying to you. Show them you're interested by asking questions. 

Congratulate other people on their success. When others do well, offer them your praise. If you meet a friend who has recently graduated, won a match, or got a new job, congratulate him. 

Avoid uncomfortable topics. Some topics can make people uncomfortable. You might hurt other people's feelings if you talk about them. Try to keep your conversation in the pleasant areas. 

Make eye contact (接触). When in conversation with someone, look them in the eye when you're speaking. Keeping eye contact shows that you are paying attention. However, don't stare at people all the time.
