“How was your weekend ” “Did you see the game on TV last night “Isn’t the weather beautiful today ” These questions and the answers to them are examples of “small talk” — the short, friendly conversation that people have with friends and parents.
Some people don’t want to make small talk at work. They think they shouldn’t talk about things that have nothing to do with their job, or their partners will think they aren’t serious about their work. And others might not enjoy small talk about themselves.
But small talk is important. It can help you a lot. It shows you’re friendly and care about your partners. You become a better team member. If not, others might feel uncomfortable around you and think you’re unfriendly. Peter Harper, a manager at the Apex Company in the USA, says, “We always look for friendly workers who know how to talk with each other and our customers (顾客).”
Here is some advice for successful small talk. You can talk about the weather, news, hobbies, TV programs and famous people like movie stars, singers, etc. You can also share something about your family such as birthday parties and other family events, but don’t share very personal information like family problems. Remember not to talk about money, age and so on.
Listening is an important part of small talk. Listen carefully to others and ask questions. Don’t just talk about yourself. And remember to smile. Making small talk takes practice. The more you do it, the better you’ll be at making small talk!
56. What does the underlined word “conversation” in Para. 1 mean
A. talk B. point C. prediction D. relationship
57. What’s Para. 2 mainly about
A. Why some people don’t make small talk. B. How to start small talk.
C. Why some people don’t believe their parents. D. How to be serious about work.
58. What Peter Harper said shows ________.
A. most customers don’t like small talk B. good listeners don’t need to ask questions
C. small talk helps you to be a good worker D. you can practice small talk with customers
59. According to the passage, which of the following is OK for small talk
A. “How old are you ” B. “Who’s your favorite actor ”
C. “Why did your parents fight yesterday ” D. “How much money do you make each month ”
60 What’s the structure of the passage
A. B. C. D.

A. 回答问题
请阅读下面短文，根据所提供的信息，回答五个问题。要求所写答案语法正确、信息完整切题。
You must often get pocket money (零花钱) from your parents. How do you deal with it For example, you may want to get a mobile phone, a video game or some great books. However, sometimes, you just find out you don’t have enough money. Then it might be time for you to start saving money. But how can you make it · Tip One: Be smart with money. A lot of children don’t make a plan to spend their pocket money. Most children hardly spend their money on school things. Some of them even pay much money for a smartphone in order to play games. · Tip Two: Find a way that works for you to save.
Mr. Woods: Get a piggy bank if you want to keep your money at home. You can use an old shoebox. The point is just to have something that you can put your money into.
Ms. Miller: If you don’t trust yourself enough to manage (管理) your own money, ask someone you trust to hold your money for you. Just make sure you tell them not to give in if you ask them for some money.
· Tip Three: Fight the thoughts to spend. √ If you want something, you should make sure whether it is necessary for you first. √ Wait a week. Then you can know if you really need it. √ Make a shopping budget and stick to it strictly. √ Put your energy in meaningful things, like reading books. · Tip Four: __________________________________________________________________ You can make money by selling unwanted clothes toys, and other things lying around your room. This is a good way of making money. At the same time, these things can be reused. Anyway, saving money is not so easy. But it can help you understand making money is very hard. After all, “No pains, no gains.”
