题目内容
【题目】Knowing how and when to say goodbye is often difficult, even in informal situations. 【1】 It will help you maintain your relationships and let people know you care. It’s also easier than it seems sometimes. Read on to learn how to recognize opportunities and predict others’ needs when you leave.
Recognize when to leave. When you’re at any kind of party, or even a one-on-one conversation，it can be difficult to get away. Learning to recognize good opportunities to leave will make a goodbye much easier. 【2】 If more than half the people have left, it might be a good time to leave.
【3】 Overstaying your welcome is rude, but it can often be difficult to distinguish. People don’t like telling you that they’d like you to leave，so try to watch for signals. This may be some other family members starting to check their watch or even pack up or the fact that there is hardly anyone left.
Make plans to see each other again. Saying, “See you at school tomorrow” or “Can’t wait to see you again at Christmas” keeps the goodbye light and focused forward. If you haven’t already made plans, use it as an opportunity to make them.【4】
Tell the truth. It can be tempting to come up with a “good excuse” when you’re ready to leave. You don’t need to. 【5】 It doesn’t need to be any more complicated than that.
A. Watch body language.
B. Leave when you want.
C. Notice if the crowd seems to be decreasing.
D. Even saying, “See you soon” suggests just that.
E. If you want to leave, just say, “I’ll be going. See you later.”
F. But learning to say goodbye appropriately is a must-have skill.
G. Don’t make plans with people you don’t really care about saying goodbye to.

【解析】即使非正式场合，知道何时及怎样道别都很困难。文章教给我们几点关于何时道别和怎样道别的技巧。
【1】F考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。上句讲即使非正式场合，知道何时及怎样道别都很困难。下文讲知道这些的好处，F项“知道恰当的道别是必备的技能”，承上启下，故选F。
【2】C考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。本段主要讲要知道离开的时间，下句讲如果超过一半的人已经离开，那么这就是离开的最佳时机。C项“注意人群是否在减少”与下句连接，故选C。
【3】A考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。本段讲要善于观察人们的肢体语言，即使人家嘴上不说但不断看表和开始收拾东西等都表明该离开了。A项概括全段适合作标题，故选A。
【4】D考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。本段讲制定下次相见的计划，如果还没有具体的计划就说See you soon表达你的计划，故选D。
