五、阅读理解。（2023·江苏苏州工业园区一模）
To have a good conversation is a pleasure for most people. But not every conversation is good. Sometimes there are uncomfortable silences while people try to think of something to say. Some conversations are one - sided. One person asks all the questions，and the other just gives one - word answers. A good conversation needs two or more people to keep it going.
To get the ball rolling in a conversation，ask something about the other person. “What do you do?” is a good place to start. Or simply say，“Tell me about yourself. ” Most people love a chance to talk about themselves.
As the other person begins to respond to（回应）your question，look for common ground. If you ask someone about his weekend，the person could talk about what he did. Then you can share what you did and even your plans for the coming weekend.
When the other person is talking，it is important to be interested in him. Listen carefully and do not cut in to add your experience. When he finishes，ask some more questions. Don’t allow your eyes to wander around（游离）as he talks. That gives the message that you’re not really interested in him. Besides，if you’re answering a question，don’t go on and on. Give an answer and stop. A good conversation is a little like a tennis game，in which the ball goes back and forth. Also，avoid yes/no questions. They can stop a conversation. Instead，ask open - ended questions using what or why.
A conversation should end well，too. You can say，“I need to run now. ” You may also give a reason. Say something like，“I really need to get going. My class starts in 20 minutes. ” Now，go out and enjoy a good conversation!
