17.
We've all been there： in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones 01; worse, struggling with the uncomfortable silence.
What's the problem? It's possible that we all have compromised conversational intelligence. It's more likely that none of us start a conversation because it's awkward and challenging, or we think ifs annoying and 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 benefits. Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can't forget that deep relationships wouldn't even exist if it weren*t for casual conversation. Small talk is the grease (润滑齐lj) 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/1
In a 2014 study Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction (互动) with its waiter； the other; to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience. "Ifs not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband/' says Dunn. M But interactions with peripheral (边缘的) members of our social network matter for our well-being also.11
Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk/'Small talk is the basis of good manners/1 he says.
(1)What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?
A Addiction to smartphones.
B Inappropriate behaviours in public places.
C Absence of communication between strangers.
D Impatience with slow service.
(2)What is important for successful small talk according to Carducci?
A Showing good manners.
B Relating to other people.
C Focusing on a topic.
D M aking business deals.
(3)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 mu ch as a formal talk.
D It makes people feel good. 4
A Conversation Counts
B Ways of Making Small Talk
C Benefits of Small Talk
D U neomfbrtable Silence
18.I was telling my boy Sonny the story of the hare and the tortoise (乌龟).At the end I said, “Son, remember： Be slow and steady (镇定的),and that will win the race. Don*t you think theres something to learn from the tortoise?"

Sonny thought a while. "That's a lie, “he said. M He won it because he was lucky. If the hare hadn't happened to fell asleep, the tortoise would never have won the race ? He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier; but he'd never have won the race. Thafs for sure. M

23.
Do you shop online with websites like Taobacfl The money you pay doesn't go directly to the seller. Instead, it goes through Alipay which keeps your money for a while. After you receive your goods and click the "confirm receipt" button, Alipay then gives the money to the seller. The process is called "third party online payment". There is a transfer station, ora third account, between sellers and buyers to make online shopping safe. Buyers don't need to worry about paying for goods and then receiving nothing. Sellers also get rid of the risk of receiving no money after sending out goods.
These transfer stations are usually set up by payment service companies such as Alipay Tenpay and Yeepay Among them, Alipay is the biggest in China. It has more than 270 million active users, according to Xinhua.
Wliile most online sellers and shoppers like the third party online payment system, banks are not very happy That is because companies like Alipay are fighting over money with the banks. Users can invest in financial products through Alipay and make money. Thus lots of people choose to put money in Alipay rather than in banks.
But WeChat payment is not the same. WeChat doesn't have its own account. When paying through WeChat, the buyers1 money goes directly to the sellers. Thafs why so many people
