The most common types of people to use small talk are those who do not know each other at all. It is also common for people who are only acquaintances (熟人), often called a “friend of a friend”, to use small talk.There are certain “safe” topics that people usually make small talk about. The weather is probably the number one thing. Sometimes even friends and family members discuss the weather when they meet or start a conv ersation. Another topic that is generally “safe” is current events, such as sports news and entertainment news. If there is something that you and the other speaker have in common, that may also be acceptable to talk about. Negative comments about another person not involved in the conversation are not acceptable because you cannot be sure who his friends are when you do not know a person well.People make small talk just about anywhere. Most often, small talk happens in places where people are waiting for something. For example, you might chat with another person who is waiting for the bus to arrive. Some social events (such as a party) require small talk among guests who do not know each other very well.The most common time for small talk to happen is the first time you see or meet someone. However, the next time you see each other, you might just smile and say nothing. Do not interrupt (打断) two people in order to discuss something unimportant, such as the weather. If someone is reading a book or writing a letter in a waiting room, it is not proper to initiate a conversation either.36. The third paragraph mainly tells us .A. how people make small talkB. people like making small talkC. why people make small talkD. where people make small talk37. What can we learn about small talk according to the text?A. Small talk only happens between strangers.B. When people feel lonely, they will start small talk.C. Unpleasant comments about another person aren‟t a “safe” topi c.D. Small talk only happens when people want to make friends.38. The underlined word “initiate” in the last paragraph probably means“ ”.A. endB. startC. controlD. avoidBShyness equals (等于) losing opportunities, less pleasure and fewer social connections, but there are ways to make it a thing of the past.When I was fifteen, I was shy. I remember an attractive girl trying to talk with me. My shyness made me focus on me instead of her. I heard my own voice but not hers and I thought about what I was trying to say instead of what she was trying to say.To overcome shyness you need to learn to relax. This gives you the space to practice certain conversational skills. Relaxed socializing (社交) is so pleasurable. To start reducing your own shyness, I want you to absorb the following tips and ideas and start to put them into practice.Focus your attention away from yourself. Notice what other people are wearing and make a mental note, listen to their conversation, imagine where they might live, and make a point of remembering names. Not only does this give you more to talk about, it also reduces social anxiety, leaving you feeling calmer.Ask people open questions. Many people like to talk about themselves and will find you interesting if you find them interesting. Ask questions that require more than a “yes” or “no” response such as “What do you like about this place?‟ rather than “Do you like this place?” Once they have answered, you can use add-on (追加) questions connected with the first such as “What other places do you like in this city?” Next you can express your views. This is a great way to get the conversation going.Now I love meeting new people and suspect that my current social confidence would be unrecognizable to my fifteen-year-old self.39. The author didn‟t pay attention to what the girl was saying because .A. her voice was very lowB. he was shy and nervousC. he was attracted by her appearanceD. he wasn‟t in terested in her topic40. To get rid of your shyness, you should .A. pay much attention to yourselfB. find a beautiful girl to talk withC. learn to talk to others in a relaxed wayD. ask people some interesting questions41. It can be inferred from the text that .A. people will notice our appearance if we focus on their looksB. shy people will have no friends unless they change themselvesC. shy people may suffer a great deal and may be less happyD. girls like to show off their voices in front of boys42. Which of the following questions will the author probably advise us to ask?A. What a lovely day, isn‟t it?B. Do you like playing basketball?C. Do you think he will pass the exam?D. Why do you find that English is hard to learn?CClaude Monet is surely one of the most famous French artists of all. Monet was particularly interested in the effect of light and would paint the same scene in different lighting conditions or times of the day. For example, he painted around 20 versions of the Rouen Cathedral from dawn to dusk. His most famous paintings include his Water lilies series.The paintings of Paul Cézanne had a lot of influence in the development of 20th century art, including Cubism (立体派) and Fauvism (野兽派). Cézanne is one of the most famous French artists and is known as a “post-impressionist”, which was similar in some ways to impressionism but also broke away from some of its limitations. Famous French paintings include his Bathers and Mont St Victoire series.Henri Matisse was one of the most important famous French artists of the 20th century. He was considered one of the leaders of the Fauvist movement. He had a long and varied(多样化的) artistic career, painting in different styles ranging from Impressionism to Abstract.

Answer: “It‟s Academic.”“It‟s Academic” is a Saturday morning program for high school students. The show has been broadcast in the Washington area for fifty years. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton competed on the show when she was a teenager. Teams from local schools are questioned about subjects like history, literature, math, science, religion,politics and sports.Sophie was a TV producer in the 1950s. She started “It‟s Academic” after local scho ol officials asked her to create a program that showed outstanding students.The show‟s host, 84-year-old Mac McGarry, who has hosted “It‟s Academic” since the beginning, says, “When we first started, the young people from various countries were not eviden t so much. Now, each program presents young people from all over the world, at least descendants (后裔) from people all over the world.”Mac McGarry said, “Every time I look up, I see people who are just seventeen years old. And I think, …Well, I must not be growing older at all. They are full of enthusiasm. I really have to become more active to keep up with them.‟” More than 20,000 students have appeared on the show. Mac McGarry has asked more than 200,000 questions and gotten more than a few funny answers.Kelly Reeder led the team from Rockville High School in Maryland last year. Her school has won the championship on “It‟s Academic” several times. She says, “We have put in a lot of effort over the years. It‟s a really huge honor to end up on the A Team. My friends who are on …It‟s Academic‟ think it‟s cool that I‟m the captain of the A Team, but my friends who are not on …It‟s Academic‟ think it‟s kind of funny.”47.

Many of these titles are just for fun — a bit of promotion (宣传) for the area. Tarpon Springs in Florida, for example, calls itself the “Sponge Capital of the World”. Reedsburg in Wisconsin believes it is the “Butter Capital of America”. Pickerington considers itself the “Violet Capital of Ohio”. And sometimes these so-called capitals have their sales to prove their boasts (自夸).High Point, North Carolina, for example, refers to itself as “The Furniture Capital of the United States”. And to emphasize (强调) the point, it painted a downtown building to look like a chest of drawers (衣橱). Just down the road, High Point‟s sister city, Thomasville, also makes a lot of furniture. Since it calls itself “Chair City”, there‟s a chair the size of a small room sitting right in the middle of the Thomasville town square. Together, these two small cities really do produce more furniture than any other places in the US.This happened because, over the past century, a lot of factories moved from northern states to North Carolina for its 11 different species of wood, its warmer weather, its direct rail lines to big East Coast markets, and its non-union labor pool.High Point is holding its annual(每年的) “furniture market” this month. It‟s an event in which manufacturers display their latest designs in 51 showrooms, and buyers from most states and as many as 100 countries show up and walk through the passages.Down the street, at the High Point Museum, they can watch as skilled carpenters and other craftspeople show how some of the nation‟s finest furniture is assembled (安装) — from the cutting of trees to the making of frames (框架), to the gluing and application of veneers (薄片镶饰) and stains and polishes.51.
