七、阅读理解
A
When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation (住所). I suggested that they should stay at "bed and breakfast" houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.
"We didn't stay at bed and breakfast houses," they said, "because we found that most families were away on holiday."
I thought this was strange, Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought "VACANCIES" meant "holidays", because the Spanish word for "holidays" is "vacations". So they did not go to house where the sign outside said "VACANCIES", which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to house where the sign said "NO VACANCIES", because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels!
We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word "DIVERSION" means fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word "DIVERSION" on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hole.
English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris, when someone offered me some more coffee, I said "Thank you" in French. I meant that I would like some more.However, to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that "Thank you" in French means "No, thank you" in English.

Many Americans find silence uncomfortable during a dinner. So in the United States people often make“small talk”in certain social situations. Small talk is about different topics,only for keeping a conversation going. The topics might include the weather,sports,college lessons,clothing,food,etc.Small talk is very useful in social situations when you meet someone for the first time,or when polite conversation is expected but no serious discussion is wanted.
It is common but not necessarily expected that one knows someone in a group before talking with him or her in a conversation. In fact,at a party,“May I join you ”and a self-introduction is useful enough to get a welcome from a group and to join in a conversation. In some places,such as a concert hall or a theatre,a waiting room or a classroom,it's common for strangers to start a conversation even without an introduction.
People in the United States expect those whom they speak to stop whatever they are doing and listen.As a rule,the conversation distance(距离)between two people is at least two or three feet. Standing very close will make many Americans feel uncomfortable.
根据短文内容,回答下列问题
6. Why do Americans make“small talk”
7. When will Americans make“small talk”
8. What would you do if you want to join in a conversation at a party in the USA
9. Is four feet the correct conversation distance between two strangers
10. How to show politeness when some Americans talk with you
