Some people are afraid to go to a party because they don’t know how to make small talk at a party. Why not learn the art of small talk so you can enjoy your next party?
Look for someone you know.
When you enter a party, look for someone you know right away. Approach him or her with a smile. This is a good way to break the ice. That person can usually introduce you to some other party guests, so you won’t feel lonely.
Ask open-ended questions.
The best way to keep the conversation going is to ask open-ended questions. The questions can’t be answered with a one-word answer. You’d better not just ask “Did you have a trip?” but ask “How was your last trip?”
Come with preparation.
Read a good newspaper before going to a party. You can make a clever remark about any topic. Just make sure you don’t say what you think or feel on the topics you know little about.
Practice, practice and practice.
Practice talking to people everywhere you go. When you’re standing in line at the store, talk to the person in front of you. The more you talk with people in life, the easier it will become to talk to people at the party.

【分析】
这是一篇介绍派对闲聊技巧的说明文阅读理解，解题时可以先浏览所有题干，带着问题回原文定位对应内容：第12题直接对应文章开篇的原因描述，第13题统计文中给出的方法数量，直接找段落的小标题计数即可，第14题词义猜测结合上下文语境推导含义，第15题逐个将选项和原文内容比对，找出和原文表述不符的错误选项即可，整体解题思路清晰，不需要复杂推理。
【解析】
12. 定位原文第一段第一句"Some people are afraid to go to a party because they don’t know how to make small talk at a party"，明确说明人们害怕去派对的原因是不知道如何在派对上闲聊，对应D选项。A选项“他们不想去派对”、B选项“他们不认识其他派对宾客”原文未提及，C选项“他们不想学习闲聊的艺术”和原文表述相悖，因此选D。
13. 通读全文可以找到4个带独立小标题的方法：①找你认识的人；②提开放式问题；③提前做好准备；④反复练习，一共4种方法，对应B选项。
14. 结合划线词"approach"的上下文：进入派对后先找你认识的人，微笑着______他/她，这是打破僵局的好方法。A选项“走近”符合语境，B“远离”、C“等待”、D“躲开”都和后文“打破僵局”的逻辑矛盾，因此词义为走近，选A。
15. 逐一比对选项：A选项符合原文“保持对话进行的最好方式是提开放式问题”的表述；B选项符合原文“微笑着接近你认识的人是打破僵局的好方法”的表述；原文明确说明“要确保不要在你几乎不了解的话题上说出你的想法或感受”，C选项“你最好在你几乎不了解的话题上说出你的想法或感受”和原文表述完全相反，是错误的；D选项符合原文“你在生活中和人交流得越多，在派对上闲聊就越容易”的表述，本题选错误项，因此选C。
