Swimming is very popularIn most languages, people often start small talk after a greeting. Small talk means the little things we talk about at the start of a conversation. In English-speaking countries people often make small talk about the weather: “Nice day, isn’t it?” “Terrible weather, isn’t it?” But there is something special about small talk. It must be about something that both people have the same opinion about. The purpose（目的）of small talk is to let both people agree on something. This makes meeting people easier and more comfortable. Peopleusually agree about the weather, so it is a safe topic for small talk. But people often disagree about religion （宗教）or politics（政治），so these are not suitable topics for small talk. The topics for small talk also depend on where the conversation is taking place. At football matches, people make small talk about the game they are watching: “Great game, isn’t it?” At bus stops, people may comment about the transport system: “The bus service is terrible, isn’t it?”Small talk is an important part of conversation in any language. People in different countries start small talk in different ways. This shows that when we learn a language, we should learn the vocabulary and the grammar as well as the social behavior of the people who speak it.( )6. Small talk .A. is a kind of conversation with short wordsB. is a greeting when people meet each otherC. is to let people disagree about somethingD. is a polite friendly conversation on unimportant topics ( )7.

But “cable television” is the name most people use. Cable television allows viewers(观众) to receive TV programs that they can not pick up with their ordinary antenna.Television signals(信号) do not follow the curve(曲线) of the earth. They travel in straight lines in all directions. Signals from a TV station move towards the horizon(水平线) and then go into space. If you live only a few miles from a TV station，you may get a good picture on your set. But if you live more than 50 miles from a station，you may not get any pictures at all.CATV began in 1948. People in places far from TV stations had to pay for putting up high antennas. A community antenna was usually placed on a hill，a mountain or on a high tower. The antenna picked up TV signals and fed them into a small local(当地的) station. From the station，thick wires called cable ran out to nearby homes. Each person using the cable paid a monthly charge(费用).CATV worked well，and soon new uses were found for it. Local stations could feed programs into empty channels that were not in use. People along the cable could have local news，weather report，and farm and school news at no extra charge.Today，cable television has moved into cities. It brings in extra programs that city viewers with ordinary antenna can not see. It is also used in many classrooms throughout the country.( )11.

From the passage we can infer(推测) that ______.A. TV has begun to be used for educational purpose(目的)B. viewers can receive more TV programs with their ordinary antennasC. cable TV can not be used in small townsD. antennas for cable TV are usually put up in the center of a communityY ou w ill see a new doctor at a hospital near London if you go there.
