We’ve all been there: in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with the uncomfortable silence.

What’s the problem? It’s possible that we all have compromised conversational intelligence. It’s more likely that none of us start a conversation because it’s awkward and challenging, or we think it’s annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it’s an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits.

Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can’t forget that deep relationships wouldn’t even exist if it weren’t for casual conversation. Small talk is the grease(润滑剂) for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. “Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk,”he explains. “The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them.”

In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction(互动) with its waiter; the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience. “It’s not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband,” says Dunn. “But interactions with peripheral(边缘的) members of our social network matter for our well-being also.”

Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk. “Small talk is the basis of good manners,”he says.

1.What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?

A. Addiction to smartphones.

B. Impatience with slow service.

C. Inappropriate behaviours in public places.

D. Absence of communication between strangers.

2.What is important for successful small talk according to Carducci?

A. Showing good manners.　　 B. Focusing on a topic.

C. Relating to other people.　　 D. Making business deals.

3.What does the coffee-shop study suggest about small talk?

A. It improves family relationships.　　 B. It makes people feel good.

C. It matters as much as a formal talk.　　 D. It raises people’s confidence.

4.What is the best title for the text?

A. Benefits of Small Talk　　 B. Ways of Making Small Talk

C. Conversation Counts　　 D. Uncomfortable Silence

2.. It seems corny(老生常谈的), but actually putting down on paper the things we have to get done and watching the list grow shorter as the day progresses can be a wonderful way to improve our productivity. Schedule blocks of time for each task. If we have not given ourselves enough time to finish our tasks, but we must move on to something else, try to make up time with another task on our list. 3.

Mark our list in order of priority(优先).The most important tasks should be dealt with first. 4.but the point of improving time management skills is to get the important tasks taken care of regularly.

Be reasonable about what we can accomplish each day.5.. It may mean that we have to cut our television time in half, but our daily lists can become more manageable with time.

A.Make a to-do list

B.Cut your larger projects into pieces

C.This way, we can get what we must complete done

D.You can improve your efficiency to get more things done

Ways to save time

We all wish we had just a bit more time. Just think what you could do with an extra hour or two each day: you could finally stick to an exercise routine, or spring-clean the house, or write your novel, or learn the guitar and so on.

1.But I can help you find more hours in your day for the things that really matter.

★Get Out of Bed Earlier.

If you normally get up at 7; 30 a. m. try getting up at 7:00 a. m. That half-hour might not sound like much, but it could be time that you use to exercise, to read that book you've been meaning to finish. 2.

★Do the Important Tasks First.

Once you get to work, get the important ones done first（not the easy ones, or even the urgent ones）. 3.If you work like this, you’ll usually save time. The urgent tasks will still get done, and you won't miss the important ones.

★Reduce Interruptions.

If colleagues have a habit of hanging around your desk to chat, or if the phone is constantly ringing, you might find that it takes you half the day to finish a simple task like writing a letter. 4.

★5.

A few minutes chatting, browsing the web, and so on, can easily turn into hours of wasted time over the course of a day. If you concentration is slipping, take a proper break: go and get a glass of water, or stretch your legs a bit. And if you’re facing a difficult task, try breaking it into small steps or stages so that it’s easier to deal with.

A.Stay Focused on Your Work.

B.Take Breaks When Necessary.

C.Would you want me to make your day longer?

D.I can’t magically make all your days 25 hours long.

E.Or simply to get your day off to a calm and organized start.

F.Constant interruptions don’t just eat up time, they also break your concentration.

G.You can afford to spend at least an hour working on big, important tasks rather than on all those little urgent ones.
