     Being able to connect with others through small talk can lead to big things, according to Debra Fine, author of"the Fine Art of Small Talk."
     Fine and her fellow authorities on making small talk offer the following tips for starting-and
ending-conversations:
     1. As you prepare for a conference, come up with three things to talk about as well as four generic
questions that will get othe rs talking. If you've met the host before, __________, such as her passion for a
sport or a charity you're both involved in.
     2. Be the first to say"Hello." If you're not sure the othe r person will remember you, offer your name to ease
the pressure. For example:"Charles Bartlett? Lynn Schmidt-good to see you again." Smile first and always shake hands when you meet someone.
     3. Have something interesting to contribute. Keeping up with current events and culture will provide you with great conversation builders, leading with"What do you think of...?""Have you heard...?" Stay away from negative or controversial topics.
     4. Have a few exit lines ready so that you can both gracefully move on. For example,"I need to check in with a client over the re,""I skipped lunch today, so I need to visit the buffet," or you can offer to refresh the ir drink.
     When should you exit a conversation? According to Susan RoAne, author and speaker known as the
"Mingling Maven," your aim in all conversations should be to make a good impression and leave people wanting more. To do that, she advises:"Be bright. Be brief. Be gone."

     The largest-ever chariot pit (战车坑) of relics with carts and horse bones has been discovered in Henan
Province. It may lead to the uncovering of chariot pit groups that could be a key to understanding Chinese
civilizations that existed more than 2,000 years ago.
     Experts said the relics are dated more than 300 years earlier than the famous warriors (武士) in Shaanxi
Province. What excited the experts were two othe r projects that located two huge pits with similar features.
     "It is absolutely a miracle. the se relics indicate that the re could be a tomb group in this area, which is likely
to be important for China's archaeological (考古学的) studies," said Ma Juncai, a leading relic researcher in the
province.
     In ancient China, carts, sheep, spoons and so on were buried to ensure that dead people had a happy
afterlife. the number and quality of the sacrifices indicated the social status of the dead. the custom was carried
into the Qin Dynasty. Emperor Qinshihuang's tomb, located near Xi'an, the capital of Shanxi Province, is
accompanied by thousands of wood or clay figures of warriors and horses. the tomb is probably the most
well-known.
     The discovered pit measures 10.4 meters long, 8.4 meters wide and 5 meters deep. It holds 20 carts in
different sizes. the smallest one is 1.05 meters long and 1.3 meters wide.
     Experts think that 40 horses are likely to be found as well. Careful plans need to be made to deal with the
demanding uncovering."the clay is very weak and a small misstep can destroy the whole project. That's why
we need to take every step very carefully to protect the se cherished cultural relics," Ma said.
