【解析】本文是一篇记叙文,在文中讲述了作者的祖母。祖母是一位勤劳,开朗而且勇敢的人。在她80多岁不幸摔伤后,家人不得不把她送入养老院,在那里大家快乐地为她度过了90岁生日。在那之后祖母的痴呆变得越来越严重,作者感到虽然祖母有时候不记得家人,但是她的精神中一直有爱存在。
【1】as。考查介词。表示“作为”,用介词as。此处表示的意思是“当我还是个孩子的时候 ”。
【2】what。考查宾语从句。介词后面跟宾语从句,从句中缺少threw的宾语,填what。
【3】was forced。考查被动语态。根据句意,“父亲被迫承认不能再在家照顾奶奶了”,用被动语态。
【4】that。考查强调句式,即“it is/was+被强调部分+that+其它”。本句被强调的是状语with a heavy heart。
【5】for。考查介词。本句中,定语从句we all had her用来修饰先行词love,将这个定语从句还原为简单句,则为we all had love her。表示“爱某人”,为have love for sb. ,所以填介词for。
【6】toughest。考查形容词。根据空格前的定冠词以及后面表示范围的短语of all,可知用形容词最高级形式。
【7】who。考查宾语从句。根据句意,“奶奶不知道我是谁”,用who引导宾语从句。
【8】me。考查代词。从语境可知此处是指作者,因作宾语,用人称代词宾格形式。
【9】holding。考查非谓语动词。从结构判断此处是非谓语短语作后置定语,表示主动关系,用现在分词。
【10】peacefully。考查副词。修饰谓语动词went,用副词形式作状语,所以要在名词peace加后缀-ful构成形容词peaceful,再加后缀-ly构成副词peacefully。

Small talk even helps people get a job. In order to impress at a job interview, you need to bond with the interviewer right away. Proper small talk can make that first impression get you the job.
So, how can you make small talk lead to a new friendship or job? First off, find common ground. Select something around you that you share with the other person.
Next, keep the conversation going. Compliment (赞美) the other person to make him or her feel comfortable, and ask questions to show interest.
