【答案】 DBIn most English­speaking countries, it is necessary and of great value to make small talk in certain situations.There are a few different reasons why people use small talk.The first, and most obvious, is to break an uncomfortable silence.That is why it is so common to make small talk when you are waiting for something.Some people make small talk in order to be polite.You may not feel like chatting with anyone at a party, but if someone introduces you to another person who you do not know anything about, you have to start some small talk in order to show a polite interest in getting to know that person better.There are certain “safe” topics that people usually make small talk about.The weather is probably the number one thing that people who do not know each other well discuss.Sometimes even friends and family members discuss the weather when they meet or commence a conversation.Another topic is current events.Sports news is a very common topic, especially if a local team or player is doing extremely well or badly.Entertainment news，such as a celebrity(名人) who is in town, is another good topic.If there is something that you and the other speaker have in common, that may also be acceptable to talk about.There are also some subjects that are not considered acceptable when you make small talk.Discussing personal information such as salaries or a recent divorce is not done between people who do not know each other pliments(赞美) on clothing or hair are acceptable；however, you should never say anything (good or bad) about a person's body.Also, it is not safe to discuss subjects that society thinks controversial(有争议的) such as religion or st，it is not wise to continue talking about an issue that the other person does not seem comfortable with or interested in.5．According to Paragraph 1, the author thinks that small talk in certain situations is ．A．boring B．fixedC．hard D．important【解析】推理判断题。
