A
阅读下面短文，从各题 A、B、C、D 中选出能回答问题的最佳答案。
In most languages, a greeting is usually followed by small talk. Small talk means the little things we talk about
at the start of a conversation. In English-speaking countries, people often make small talk about the weather: “Nice,
isn’t it ” “Terrible weather, isn’t it ” But there is something special about small talk. It must be about something
which both people have the same opinion about. The purpose of small talk is to let both people agree on something.
This makes meeting people easier and more comfortable. People usually agree about the weather, so it is a safe topic
for small talk. But people often disagree about religion（宗教） or politics（政治） so these are not suitable topics
for small talk. The topics for small talk also depend on where the conversation is taking place. At football matches,
people make small talk about the game they are watching: “Great game, isn’t it ” At bus stops, people may comment
about the transport system: “The bus service is terrible, isn’t it ”
Greetings and small talk are an important part of conversation in any language. The way people greet each
other and the things they talk about, however, may be different from one language to another. This shows that there is
much more to learn when we learn a language than just the vocabulary and the grammar of the language. We also
have to learn more about its culture and the social behavior of the people who speak it.
26. Small talk is ________.
A. to let people disagree about something
B. a kind of conversation with short words
C. a greeting when people meet each other
D. something we talk about to start with a conversation
27. The favorite topic of small talk is about ________.
A. games B. politics C. languages D. the weather
28. When we say “Great game, isn’t it ”, we in fact ________.
A. have a conversation B. start small talk
C. greet each other D. ask a question
29. The passage suggests that when we learn a language, ________ .
A. we should know the culture about the country
B. we should only master the grammar and vocabulary
C. we should grasp the importance of the language
D. we should learn about the transport system of the country
30. What we learn from the passage is that ________.
A. in English-speaking countries we should talk about the weather
B. different languages have different grammar
C. small talk is an important part in a language
D. small talk depends on the purpose of the conversation
