21、   We've all been in a situation where we ask our friend to the restaurant for lunch and find ourselves waiting at a table alone. We look around the room, notice all the other customers dining with someone, and suddenly become insecure that we're alone. Instead of starting a conversation with someone, we rush to grab our phones and stare at the screen until we are finally rescued by our late friend.

Long gone are the days when we start a conversation with the person next to us while sitting on the subway during the morning or evening commute. However, small talk, as well as the willingness to engage in it, is very important.

When humans engage in small talk, it actually provides a feeling of happiness. Those who socially interact are likely to increase their happiness and health, while others who shy away from social interaction are reported to feel disappointed and unhealthy, according to the Huffington Post. And small talk not only keeps us feeling happy and healthy, but teaches us how to stay calm in situations that we might not normally find ourselves in. Instead of feeling anxious and nervous, starting a conversation with people you don't know helps calm the nerves and provides a feeling of inclusion. An unfamiliar event with people you don’t know suddenly becomes gratifying.

But perhaps the most important reason why everyone should learn to engage in small talk is that it teaches us how to listen and truly form relationships. By asking a stranger some questions and showing interest in them, it helps establish new relationships, whether they are personal or business-related.

You should learn how to connect with someone and identify with people you don't know. So next time you're alone in a public place, try to reach out to others and start a conversation. It’s really not that hard.

【1】What does the writer intend to describe through Paragraph 1?

A.Anxiety of being alone. B.Impatience with waiting for friends.

C.Addiction to smart phones. D.Absence of communication between strangers.

【2】How many benefits of small talk are mentioned in the passage?

A.Two. B.Three. C.Four. D.Five.

【3】Which does the writer think most valuable for taking small talk?

A.Developing new relationships. B.Avoiding negative emotions.

C.Having more people to turn to. D.Learning some social skills.

【4】Which word can replace the underlined one in Paragraph 4?

A.Typical. B.Peaceful. C.Enjoyable. D.Instructive.

【5】Which might be the best title?

A.Let's Start Small Talk. B.How to Make Friends.

C.Drive Away Shyness. D.How to Start Small Talk.

23、（B）

I needed to get some money so, after Christmas, I took a job in the clothes department at Graham’s for the first fortnight of the January sale. I can’t say that I enjoyed it, but it was an experience I’ll never forget.

I could never understand why there were so many things in the sales; where did they all come from? Now I know the secret! Firstly, there is the special winter stock (货物) and the stock that people buy all the year round; some of these things are slightly reduced. Secondly, there are the summer clothes they couldn’t sell last year; these are heavily reduced to clear them. Thirdly, there are cheap clothes bought in specially for the sales; these are put out at high prices ten days before the sale begins and then are reduced by 60% in the sale. Clever! Lastly, they buy in “seconds? (clothes not in perfect condition) for the sale and they are sold very cheaply.

When I arrived half an hour before opening on the first day of the sale, there was already a queue around three sides of the building. This made me very nervous.

When the big moment arrived to open the doors, the security guards, looking less confident than usual, came up to them, keys in hand. The moment they had unlocked the doors, they hid behind the doors for protection as the noisy crowd charged in. I couldn’t believe my eyes; this wasn’t shopping, it was a battlefield! One poor lady couldn’t keep her feet and was knocked over by people pushing from behind.

Clothes were flying in all directions as people searched for the sizes, colours and styles they wanted. Quarrels broke out. Mothers were using their small children to crawl(爬行) through people’s legs and get hold of things they couldn’t get near themselves.

Within minutes I had half a dozen people pushing clothes under my nose, each wanting to be the first served. Where had the famous English Queue gone? The whole day continued like that, but I kept my temper(脾气)! I was taking money hand over fist and began to realize why, twice a year, Graham’s were happy to turn their expensive store into a battlefield like this.

In the sale fever, people were spending money like water without thinking whether they needed what they were buying. As long as it was a bargain it was OK.

You won’t believe this but as soon as I got home I crashed out for four hours. Then I had dinner and went back to bed, fearing the sound of the alarm which would tell me to get ready for the second day of the sale.

【1】What kind of clothes is likely to be sold 5% cheaper?

A．Last summer’s clothes.

B．Clothes not in perfect condition.

C．Clothes bought in specially for the sales.

D．Clothes for winter.

【2】Which of the following statements is true?

A．The customers gave up the queuing for which the English are famous.

C．Small children enjoyed crawling through people’s legs.

D．The security guards were fearless of the crowd.

【3】In the author’s opinion, why were Graham’s happy to make their expensive store into “Battlefield?

A．There were too many clothes and they wanted to clear them in the sales.

B．They were eager to show that they were clever at doing business.

C．They could take the chance to raise the prices of all their clothes.

D．They wanted to make more money by having sales.

【4】The expression “crashed out” means ________.

A．chatted with her friends

B．slept soundly
