A
Informal conversation is an important part of any business relationship. Before you start a discussion, however, make sure you understand which topics are suitable and which are considered taboos in a particular culture. Latin Americans enjoy sharing information about their local history, art, and customs. They expect questions about your family and be sure to show pictures of your children. You may feel free to ask similar questions of your Latin American friends. The French think of conversation as an art form, and they enjoy the value of lively discussions as well as disagreements. For them, arguments
can be interesting — and they can cover pretty much or any topic — as long as they occur in a respectful and intelligent manner.
In the United States, business people like to discuss a wide range of topics, including opinions about work, family, hobbies, and politics. In Japan, China, and Korea, however, people are much more private. They do not share much about their thoughts, feelings, or emotions because they feel that doing so might take away from the harmonious business relationship they're trying to build. Middle Easterners are also private about their personal lives and family matters. It is considered rude, for example, to ask a businessman from Saudi Arabia about his wife or children.
As a general rule, it's best not to talk about politics or religion with your business friends. This can get you into trouble, even in the United States, where people hold different views. In addition, discussing one's salary is ususlly considered unsuitable. Sports is typically a friendly subject in most parts of the world, although be careful not to criticise a national sport. Instead, be friendly and praise your host's team. 语篇解读：本文主要介绍了在商业交往中一些国家和地区倾向的闲聊的话题。

1．The underlined word “harmonious” most probably means “ ”．A．competitive B．friendly and peaceful
C．original D．sensitive

根据最后一段第一句“As a general rule, it's best not to talk about politics or religion with your business friends.”可得知。

的话题。

B
Small talk is a very short conversation used by individual to kill time and make the other person feel comfortable in his presence. However, sometimes you should be careful of your topics.
There are certain “safe” topics that people usually discuss.
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 start a conversation.
Another topic that is generally safe is current events. As long as you are not discussing a controversial issue, such as a recent law concerning equal rights, it is usually safe to discuss that. Entertainment and sports news is another good topic. If there is something that you and the other person have in common, that may also be acceptable to talk about. For example, if the bus is extremely full and there are no seats available, you might talk about the reasons why. Similarly, people in an office might casually discuss the new paint or furniture.
There are also some subjects that are not considered acceptable when making small talk. Discussing personal information such as salaries or a recent divorce is unacceptable between people who do not know each other well. Compliments on clothing or hair are acceptable; however, you should never say something (good or bad) about a person's body. Negative comments about another person not involved in the conversation are also not acceptable. When you do not know a person well you cannot be sure who their friends are. You do not talk about private issues either, because you do not know if you can trust the other person with your secrets or personal information. Lastly, it is not wise to continue talking about an issue that the other person does not seem comfortable with or interested in.

Are you sick of feeling your tongue turn to a lump of (一块) coal whenever you meet a small talk situation? Follow these smart tips, and you'll become a great conversationalist making lasting impressions wherever you go.
Debra Fine, author of The Fine Art of Small Talk, says that connecting with people through conversation doesn't always come instinctively(出于本能地). That means you need much training to improve your speaking abilities. First, have around three things to talk
about before you head for an interview. Second, think of four questions you can ask that will make the other person chat. Finally, if you've met the person before, mention something of the previous conversation or introduction to show your interest.
The awkward moment when the other person didn't recognize you may make you feel hurt. Before you put too much pressure on a new relationship, be the first to say “hello”. You can release (释放) some pressure by saying, for example，“Stephanie Pratt? Hi, good to see you again.” Another w ay to put strangers at ease is to smile and shake their hands when you greet them.
Small talk is always challenging at conferences or large events, especially when you don't know anyone. There's a reason why millions of people read the New York Times every day: to stay knowledgeable about the world they live in. If you find reading a daily newspaper too tedious, find special topics that interest you. Learn the general news from News, CNN, or Google News. Build a conversation by asking, “Have you heard about ...？”
Last, listening is an important part of small talk, especially when you're entering a conversation that's already in progress. If you want to leave a lasting impression, one of the best ways is to be a great listener. As you listen to others' experiences and opinions, you'll enlarge your knowledge about other cultures and nations, and finally become a more fascinating conversationalist.
语篇解读：本文主要讲述了在闲聊时的一些技巧。

[课文对译]
How Good Are Your Social Skills?
Have you ever crossed the road to avoid talking to someone you recognise? Would you love to go to a party and talk confidently to every guest? Do you want to make more friends but lack the confidence to talk to people you don't know? And are you nervous about the idea of being at a social event in another country? Don't worry — we can help you!
You needn't worry about situations like these if you have good social skills. And they are easy to learn. People with good social skills communicate well and know how to have a conversation. It helps if you do a little advance planning.
Here are a few ideas to help you.
►Learn how to do small talk
Small talk is very important and prepares you for more serious conversations. Be prepared! Have some lowrisk conversation openers ready. For example：
·think of a recent news story — not too serious, e．g. a story about a film star or sports star
·think of things to tell people about your studies
·think of “safe” things you can ask p eople's opinions about — music, sport, films, etc.
·think of topics that you would avoid if you were talking to strangers — and avoid talking about them! That way, you don't damage your confidence!
►Develop your listening skills
Listening is a skill which
— it involves speaking AND listening. Always remember — you won't impress people if you talk too much. Here are some ideas to make you a better listener：
Do ...
·show that you are listening by using encouraging noises and gestures —smiling, nodding, saying “”and “OK”， etc.
·keep good eye contact
·use positive body language
·ask for more information to show your interest
Don't ...
·look at your watch
·yawn
·sigh
·look away from the person who's talking to you
·change the subject
·finish other people's sentences for them
Always remember the words of Benjamin Disraeli, British Prime Minister in the 19th century：“Talk to a man about himself, and he will speak to you for hours！”
►Learn the rules
If you go to a social occasion in another country, remember that social rules can be different. In some countries, for example, you have to arrive on time at a party; in other countries, you don't need to. In addition, you need to know how long you should stay, and when you have to leave. Some hosts expect flowers or a small gift, but in other places, you can take things, but you needn't if you don't want to. Remember also that in some countries, you mustn't take flowers of a certain colour, because they're unlucky. In most places, you don't have to take a gift to a party — but find out first！,你的社交技能有多高？
你曾经看见认识的人以后，故意过马路以避免与其说话吗？你愿意参加聚会，并自信地和每位来宾交谈吗？你想结交更多的朋友但又缺乏与陌生人交谈的信心吗？你是一想到要在别的国家参加社交活动就觉得忐忑不安吗？别担心——我们能帮助你！
如果你具备了良好的社交技能，就不用担心这些情况了。

而这些技能是容易学的。

具有良好社交技能的人能很好地与别人交流并且知道怎样与人交谈。

要是预先做些准备，将会对你有所帮助。

下面为你出点主意。

►学会怎样聊天
聊天是很重要的，并能帮助你为更严肃的谈话做准备。

有备无患！准备好几句不太会出错的开场白。

例如：
·想出一个最近的新闻故事——不要太严肃，例如，一个有关电影明星或体育明星的故事
·想出一些有关你学习的事情告诉别人
·想出一些“不会出错”的事情询问别人的意见——音乐、体育、电影等
·想出一些和陌生人谈话时要回避的话题——并且要避免谈论它们！那样你的自信心就不会被伤害了！
►提高你的倾听的技能
倾听是大多数人所缺乏的一种技巧，而交流是一个双向的过程——它涉及说和听两个方面。

要永远记住——如果话太多并不会给人留下深刻的印象。

下面是一些使你成为良好倾听者的方法：
要做……
·用一些鼓励的声音或姿势表示你正在倾听——微笑、点头、说一些“嗯”或“对啊”之类的话·保持得体的目光接触
·使用积极肯定的体态语言
·询问更多的信息来表示你的兴趣
不要做……
·看你的手表
·打哈欠
·叹气
·把目光从正跟你说话的人身上移开
·改变话题
·替别人把话说完
要永远牢记19世纪英国首相本杰明·迪斯雷利的话：“和一个人谈论他自己，他会和你说上几小时！”
►学习规则
如果你在另一个国家去一个社交场合，记住社交规则是不同的。

例如，在一些国家，你必须准时参加聚会；而在另一些国家就不需要。

另外，你需要知道该待多久，还有该在何时离开。

有的主人希望能得到一些鲜花或小礼品，而在另一些地方你可以给主人送东西，但如果你不想送也可以不送。

还有，要记住在有些国家你一定不能带来某种颜色的鲜花，因为那是不吉
利的。

在大多数地方，参加聚会不必带礼物——但你得事先弄清楚。
