aking small talk can be very difficult
at times. Here are four tips to help you
make small talk with anyone you meet.
Share details. When

someone asks, "How
are you?" say more than
just, "I'm fine." Say, for
example, "I'm good! I had
an incredible weekend!" Then the other person might ask
what you did on the weekend. Or if someone asks about
your work or hobbies, don't just say the name of your
job or hobby—give an example of something you did
recently.
Don't only talk about yourself. Ask questions and
listen to the answers. Also, try to remember the answers
so you can talk about them later. The easiest questions are
about family, jobs, hobbies, and dreams. Try to think of
some questions on these topics so you can use them when
you meet people. "Wh-" questions are best: who, what,
where, when, why, and how. For example, "Why did you
come to Beijing?"
*If you only ask questions, the person you're
talking to may feel like they're being questioned by the
police. A good rule to follow is: two statements (陈述),
one question. For example, if someone says, "I'm from
Vienna," you can say, "Oh! I've never been to Vienna.
But it looks beautiful! Do you live there now?"
Bring knowledge and look for more. It's important
to read or watch the news because people enjoy talking
about what's going on in the world and how it affects their
lives.

本文介绍了与人进行闲聊的四个技巧,让我们能轻松与任何相遇的人进行闲聊。
1. D 推理判断题。通读全文可知,本文介绍了与人闲聊的小技巧。由此可推知,文中的 small talk指谈论日常话题。
2. B 词义猜测题。由上句"我挺好的"可知,此处指"我度过了一个很棒的周末"。由此可推知, incredible 与 great 意义相近。
3. C 段落大意题。由本段内容可知,如果你只提问题,与你交谈的人可能会觉得他们在被警察审问,作者建议采用两句陈述,加一个提问的原则。由此可推知,本段主题句应为:不要只提问题。
4. D 推理判断题。由第三段第四句可知,最简单的问题莫过于家庭、工作、爱好与梦想。由第三段倒数第二句可知,使用 Wh-系列疑问句效果最好。由此可推知,"你为什么把游泳作为爱好?"为与人闲聊的好问题,它既属于四大日常话题,又属于 Wh-开放式问题。
5. D 主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了与人进行闲聊的四个技巧。由此可推知,"如何与人闲聊"适合作标题。
