Some people are afraid to attend a party because they don't know how to make small talks at a party. Why not learn how to master the art of small talks so you can enjoy your next party?
Look for someone you know.
When you enter a party, look for someone you know right away. Approach(接近)him/her with a smile. This is a good way to break the ice. That person can usually introduce you to some other party guests， so you won't feel lonely.
Ask open-ended questions.
The best way to keep the conversation is to ask open-ended questions. The questions can't be answered with a one-word answer. Ask "How was your trip? " instead of "Tell me about your trip".
Come prepared.
Read a good newspaper before attending a party. You can make an intelligent remark(明智的评论) about any topic. Just make sure you don't comment about the topics you know little about.
Avoid controversial topics.
Don't talk about the three main topics at the party-politics, religion(宗教)and sex. This is still a good rule of thumb(经验法则).
Practise, practise and practise.

The song Happy Birthday to You is an example of just how interesting the world is. Think about this song---it is only 6 notes. Yet it is one of the best-known songs in the world. It was written in 1893 by Mildred and Patty Hill and first published with the words, “Good morning to you”.
The words“Happy Birthday to You”were first seen in print in 1924, although the author is unknown. The Clayton F. Summy Company became the song’s publisher in 1935. Through a series of purchases and acquisitions(收购), the song now belongs to AOL Time Warner. ASCAP represents the song for public performance licensing.
The copyright to Happy Birthday to You should have expired(过期) in 1991, but copyright Act of 1976 extended(延长）it，and the Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998 extended it again, so the song is protected until 2030 at least.
Happy Birthday to You brings in about $ 2 million per year. If you ever hear the song in a movie, TV show or an ad, a licensing fee has been paid.

There are several ways you can find out about the countries and places you wish to visit. You can talk to friends who have traveled to the places, you can go and see a colour film about them, or you can read a travel book.
It seems that there are three kinds of travel books. The first are those that give a personal, subjective(主观的) idea of travels which their writer has got himself. These books can be useful if the writers share their traveling experiences with others. The second kind are those books which give objective(客观的) information of things to be done and seen. If a cultured person has written such a book about the facts of a place, then it is more useful. The third kind are those books which are called “a guide” to some place or other. If they are good, they will describe and explain the place in detail. Like the first kind , they can be interesting and exciting, but their main purpose is to help the reader plan his travel in the most practical way.
Whatever kind of travel book you choose, you must make sure that the book does not describe everything as interesting, exciting or fantastic. You must also keep an open eyes on its date of publication(出版) because travel is very practical matter and many things change quickly in the 21st century. Finally, you should make sure that it’s easy to find the useful information for you travel.
( )11. The passage was written to introduce_______.
A. travel maps B. travel books C. travel films D. travel places
( )12. The writer of the first kind of travel books gave his ideas after he _______.
A. traveled B. read books C. a lot of experience D. surfed the Internet
( )13. The underlined phrase “a cultured person”means a person with ________.
A. a good appearance B. a good education
C. a lot of experience D. a lot of money
( )14. The date of publication must be noticed because ________.
A. the prices of travel books may be different
B. the writers of travel books may be different
C. the information in travel books is always the same
D. the information in travel books is always changing
( )15. According to the passage, it is best to read ______ before traveling to a place of interest.
