Small talk in America

  Many Americans find silence uncomfortable during a buffet(自助餐)or a formal dinner.So in the States there is a widespread practice of making “small talk” in certain social situations.Small talk deals with various topics superficially(表面地), simply for the sake of keeping a conversation going.he topics might include the weather, sports, college courses, clothing, food, etc.Small talk is especially useful at social gatherings when you meet someone for the first time, or when polite conversation is expected but no serious discussion is desired.

  It is common but not necessarily expected that one knows someone in a group before engaging in a conversation.At a party actually, a simple “May I join you? ” and a self-introduction is normally sufficient to gain acceptance into a group and to join in a conversation.In some places, such as the lobby of a concert hall or theater, a waiting room or a classroom, it is common for strangers to start a conversation even without an introduction.

  Despite the informality that pervades(遍布)U.S.society, people in the States expect those whom they speak with to put aside whatever they are doing and listen to.

  As a rule, the conversation distance between two people is at least two or three feet.Standing at a closer range will make many Americans feel uneasy.

After six months of living in New Zealand, I realized one thing. Despite my  1   for greater contact with local students,  2   I initiated(开始) the contact, it wouldn’t happen. Local students are not interested in contacts with the international students, because they regard us as shy,  3    and sometimes snobby (势利的) people. Of course we know that’s not true. I want to change their opinions.

After  4     the problem, I put on my “confidence mask” each morning and walked around with a smile on my face. I chatted with people whenever I had the chance. I showed that I was not afraid to  5     them, and that I was worthy of being a friend.

A side-effect of my  6     confidence was that my emotions occasionally broke down Only in the  7     of my room, where no one could see, would I reveal my real emotions. All the rejections, funny looks, and  8     behind my back calling me a weirdo(古怪的人) melted  into tears. Once that was done, I would put on my confidence mask once again and start a new day.

It finally worked  My name became known throughout the school as I appeared to be 9     and active. Slowly, I discovered that I no longer needed to put on my confidence mask. I had real    friends. Instead of dragging myself to school and  10    to be happy, I was truly happy. I could not believe it when I was elected to the student government as Deputy Head boy----the first international student to receive the title.

From my  11     in New Zealand, I believe one thing will always be true: If you try your best to reach your goals, you’ll achieve your  12     dreams.

1.A. desire                B. invitation  C. devotion        D. effort

2.A. if                  B. otherwise    C. unless          D. once

4.A. getting              B. realizing    C. solving  D. making

5.A. get up with           B. put up with         C. open up to    D. look forward to

6.A. accepted       B. proved          C. elected     D. forced

7.A. public              B. privacy     C. possession      D. protection

8.A. laughing         B. talking   C. acting        D. walking

9.A. minded          B. talented C. humorous     D. enthusiastic

10.A. looking         B. helping  C. pretending    D. treating
