　　1.Although Americans are well known for getting down to business,Indians working in overseas teams,MNCs,and BPOs should know the importance of small talk.While Indians have a true interest in talking to Americans and getting to know them,they also hesitate to do so for some reasons.Americans engage in less personal small talk than Indians.And the topics and questions used in English vary widely based on language differences and cultural differences.Here are three things to keep in mind while you are trying to make small talk with your American clients and colleagues.

　　Americans love to ask about,and then complain about the weather!They may talk about how the weather prevented them from having fun or how the weather supported their outdoor events.You can talk about the weather with them to begin a conversation.While talking,always try to follow up their answer by asking another open-ended question or make a statement,such as“Wow,that sounds like fun!”or “You went to St.Louis.In which state is that?”Be creative in your questions.Feel free to ask one or two,but not very personal ones about relations.Stick to the facts or events that were already referred to.

　　Sometimes,some words used in India will totally confuse an American.For example,Americans use the word“weekend”instead of“holiday”for Saturdays and Sundays (non-working days),and use the word “vacation”or “days off”instead of “out-of-station”.

　　Always be interested,optimistic and happy.Talk with a smile!Vary the sound of your voice.Do not sound like a computer.If you are unsure how you sound,a good tip is to record yourself and listen to it later.Doing this helps you know how your voice sounds,and if you don’t sound as you want to be heard,it may be time to work on enhancing your voice.

The driver of the other car looked around and started 　6　 at us. 

　　My taxi driver just 　7　and waved at the guy.And he was really 　8　So I asked,“Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!”  

　　This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call “The Law of the Garbage Truck”.He explained that many people are like garbage trucks.They run around full of 　9　,full of frustration,full of anger,and full of disappointment.As their garbage 　10　 up,they need a place to dump it and sometimes they’ll dump it on 　11　Don’t take it personally.Just smile,wave,wish them well,and move on.

　　【语篇导读】本文叙述了作者乘坐出租车时发生的事情,通过出租车司机的一番话,阐明一个道理:记住美好的,忘却不愉快的,专注重要的;对待生活的态度决定生活的状态。

　　A.enrich B.ruin C.spare D.obtain

　　答案:B

　　解析:下文叙述的是出租车司机的豁达和睿智:不要让那些满腹怒气骂骂咧咧的人影响自己的心情,做自己该做的事情。作者设问“你会让……等人毁坏你一天的心情吗”以引起下文。ruin“毁坏”;enrich“丰富”;spare“抽出,腾出”;obtain“获得”。均与下文语境不合。故B项正确。

　　2.A.through B.to C.in D.for

　　答案:D

　　解析:headfor“前往”。介词for表示方向。类似的短语还有leavefor,故D项正确。

　　3.A.latter B.right C.opposite D.free

　　答案:B

　　解析:latter“后者”;right“正确的;右边的”;opposite“相反的;对面的”;free“有空的;免费的;自由的”;作者乘坐的出租车应该是在“正确的”车道上行驶。作者提及此事是为了衬托下文小车司机的无礼。故选择B项。

　　4.A.brakes B.door C.window D.seat

　　答案:A

　　解析:一辆小车突然从路旁停车位驶出,出租车司机只得猛踩“刹车”。故选择brakes(车刹),A项正确。由常理可知“门窗,座位”不合题意。

　　5.A.knocked B.overtook C.missed D.lost

　　答案:C

　　解析:knock“敲”;overtake“超过,超越”;miss“错过;思念”;lose“遗失”。出租车司机紧急刹车、向旁边猛打方向,才避免了与小车相撞。miss“错过;未击中”。故C项正确。

　　6.A.laughing B.throwing C.glancing D.yelling

　　答案:D

　　解析:从下文作者不理解出租车司机的友善举动可推断,此处应该是小车司机无礼。laughat“嘲笑”;throwsth.atsb.“将某物向某人砸过去”;glanceat“看一眼”;yellatsb.“对某人吼叫”。故选择D项。

　　7.A.wondered B.smiled

　　C.ignored D.guessed

　　答案:B

　　解析:此处显示出租车司机的大度,对着对方“微笑,挥手”,丝毫没有因为小车司机有错且无礼以及差点发生的严重后果而生气,反而主动示好。wonder“想知道,纳闷”;guess“猜测”;ignore“不理,忽略”。不合语境。故选择B项。

　　8.A.friendly B.angry

　　C.tired D.disappointed

　　答案:A

　　解析:出租车司机主动示好不是因为怕事或敷衍,而是真诚地表示友善,所以作者不能理解。angry“愤怒的”;disappointed“失望的”;tired“疲劳的”,故选friendly,A项正确。

　　9.A.expectation B.passengers

　　C.garbage D.goods

　　答案:C

　　解析:expectation“期望,期待”;passenger“乘客”;garbage“垃圾”;goods“货物”。前一句提到“垃圾车定律”。这里及后文是对该定律的解释。故选C项。

　　10.A.turns B.pushes C.holds D.piles

　　答案:D

　　解析:turnup“出现”;push“推”;holdup“延误”;pileup“堆积”。垃圾堆积起来就需要找地方倾倒。故D项正确。

　　11.A.roads B.children C.you D.dustbin

　　答案:C

　　解析:road“道路”;child“儿童”;you“你”;dustbin“垃圾箱”。这些满腹“垃圾”的人有时会将不良情绪倾泻到他们碰到的任何人身上。本题选择you,泛指任何人。故C项正确。

　　12.A.upset B.happier

　　C.pitiful D.frightened

　　答案:B

　　解析:upset“难过的”;happy“快乐的、幸福的”;pitiful“可怜的”;frightened“害怕的”。作者说,相信他说的话,你就会“快乐一些”。故选择B项。

　　13.A.spread B.share

　　C.explain D.contribute

　　答案:A

　　解析:不要接受别人倾倒的“垃圾”并转倒给其他人。spreadsth.tosb.“将某事传给某人”;sharesth.withsb.“与某人分享某物”。故选择A项。

　　14.A.surprise B.pleasure C.doubt D.regrets

　　答案:D

　　解析:surprise“惊讶”;pleasure“乐趣”;doubt“疑虑”;regret“后悔”。如果不接受别人的“垃圾”并转倒给其他人,你就不会因轻率冲动而后悔。人生苦短,每天早晨从“后悔”中醒来是难以承受之重。故选择D项。

　　15.A.funny B.important

　　C.strange D.embarrassing

　　答案:B

　　解析:funny“有趣的”;important“重要的”;strange“奇怪的”;embarrassing“令人尴尬的”。能否成功的标志在于你能否迅速忘却不快而专注于“重要”的人生目标。故选择B项。

　　16.A.remember B.forget

　　C.value D.appreciate

　　答案:A

　　解析:remember“记得”;forget“忘记”;value“重视”;appreciate“欣赏,感激”。后句说到人们更容易储存不好的记忆,所以此处说的是人们更经常“记住”的是糟糕的事情。故A项正确。

　　17.A.enjoy B.exchange C.recall D.imagine

　　答案:C

　　解析:enjoy“享受,喜爱”;exchange“交换”;recall“记起,回忆起”;imagine“想象”。人们更容易储存不好的记忆,自然也更容易“回想”起不好的记忆。故选择C项。

　　18.A.inspire B.take C.mend D.notice

　　答案:B

　　解析:inspire“激励”;take“接受,参加”;mend“修补,修正”;notice“注意到,看到”。生活中你的努力只占一成,九成取决于你的生活态度。此处take意为“接受”。故B项正确。

　　19.A.letting B.consisting

　　C.making D.dreaming

　　答案:A

　　解析:let“让;允许”;consist“包括,包含”;make“制造”;dream“梦想,希望”。只有“忘却”不好的,才能为美好的东西在心中留下位置。letgoofsth.“放弃;忘却”。故A项正确。

　　20.A.distinguish B.deserve

　　C.deliver D.determine

　　答案:D

　　解析:今天播下的种子“决定”明天的收获。distinguish“区分,分辨”;deserve“应得,配得”;deliver“投递,分发”。故D项正确。
