We’ve all been there: in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, around by people who are, like us, deeply look at their smartphones or, worse, fighting with the uncomfortable silence.
What’s the problem? It’s more likely that none of us start a conversation because it’s challenging, or we think it’s unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it’s an invaluable social practice that results in big advantages.
Small talk is the grease (润滑剂) for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. “Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk,” he explains. “The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them.”
In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to look for an interaction (互动) with its waiter; the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their waiter reported higher positive (积极的) feelings and a better coffee shop experience. “It’s not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband.” says Dunn. “But interactions with peripheral (边缘的) members of our social network matter for our well-being also.”
Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a greater sense of belonging (归属感), a relationship with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk. “Small talk is the basis of good manners.” he says.
1.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 1?
A.Interest in smartphones. B.Unsuitable behaviours in public places.
C.Absence of communication between strangers. D.Impatience with slow service.
2.What does the coffee-shop study suggest about small talk?
A.It improves family relationships. B.It raises people’s confidence.
C.It matters as much as a formal talk. D.It makes people feel good.
3.What is the best title for the text?
A.Conversation Counts B.Advantages of Small Talk
C.Uncomfortable Silence D.Ways of Making Small Talk

The British are known as people who love to stand in line, but a new research shows that the British are only about average (平均数) at waiting politely in a queue(排、队). The French are the best. It's the Germans who don't have a good habit of standing in line. They can't stand to wait for anything. They begin to shout loudly and noisily if the line doesn't seem to be moving fast enough. Sadly it never moves fast enough for them.
The experts studied 940 people across Europe. They watched secretly as they waited in line to get tickets, to order fast food and to wait for the bus. They found people who are good at forming (排成) queues feel that they move along faster. For example, in Britain, the average waiting at a queue needs about three and a half minutes. In Germany or Sweden people hate waiting in line. In fact, people spend double the time as the British in queues. They get to the front of the queue without thinking about others, so they waste others' time.
The expert who did the research had asked a person to break into a queue to see what people would do. In Britain, people shouted loudly at him, but when he said," I' m terribly sorry. I didn't realize there was a queue. Do go before me. " People smiled and said. "Oh, that's all right, one more won't matter much. "It was also found in France, where 80% of the people didn't mind standing in line only if they were treated politely. While in Germany everyone was angry and wore an unhappy face. The expert said, "If only they could learn from the British and the French to think of queuing as an exercise in making the best of an unhappy thing, they might find that the queue then moves faster."
1.The research shows that the people in __________ are the most polite in standing in line.
A. Sweden B. Britain C. France D. Germany
2.The Germans spend more time than the British in queues because they __________.
A. always talk a lot with others B. like waiting in line
C. don't follow the rule of queuing D. don't know the rule of queuing
3.According to the research, which of the following is TRUE ?
A. The British didn't care about the queue jumper.
B. The Germans were angry with the queue jumper.
C. The French treated the queue jumper badly.
D. The Swedish enjoyed themselves while queuing.
4.From the last sentence we know the expert wished the Germans could__________.
A. have a good habit of standing in line B. save others' time while queuing
C. move quickly when queuing D. take exercise in queues
5.The result of the research shows that__________.
A. people in Europe hate waiting in line
B. standing in line is a kind of exercise
C. there are always queue jumpers all over the world
D. people who are good at standing in line think they move along faster

It is late at night. People in Cape Town,South Africa,line up to collect water from a spring. One by one,they fill their plastic bottles. Each person can take up to 13 gallons(加仑). Policemen stand by to keep the rules. In a few months,that number will be cut in half.
Cape Town is a city of four million people. It is running out of water. For three years,the city has faced a drought(干旱). It is the worst in a century. Local reservoirs(水库)are mostly sand and dried earth. Officers are telling people to save water.(A)_______, the city will one day be forced to cut off the supply to homes and businesses. That day is being called Day Zero. At press time,Day Zero was expected to be June 4.(B)_______ the date may change based on water levels in local reservoirs.
"There are a lot of people who have not realized the problem." said Shirley Curry. She waited at a spring to get her share of water. "Now they suddenly realize this is for real."
On Day Zero, each person's daily water supply will drop to about 6.5 gallons. (The average American uses 80 to 100 gallons of water per day.) Lines at the city's 200 water collection points will probably get even longer.
Some places will not be included in the cutoff. The water will keep running in hospitals and schools. It will stay on in poor areas, too. This is to prevent illness. Areas popular with tourists may also have water. More than 10 million people visit Cape Town each year. Tourism provides nearly 10% of South Africa's economy.
Across the city,people are making an effort to save water. They are taking 90-second showers. They are washing their clothes less often. Using tap water to wash cars or fill swimming pools is not allowed. Those caught using too much water are punished.
For some people,rationing(定量供应)now feels normal. Kelson da Cruz keeps one container of water near the shower. Another he uses for brushing his teeth and washing his face. He uses non-drinking water to flush(冲洗)the toilet.
1.在A、B空白处各填入一个合适的单词或短语。A______________B_______________

3."This" 指代:_____________________________________________________________________________
