__【1】___. We went past some famous places such as Sydney Harbor and the Open House along the way. We also chatted to our friends about what we had seen on TV last night.

Mr. Binkley talked to us about how people used to look for gold. __【2】__ . It seemed simple. You get a pan, fill it with dirt and water and then swirl (旋动) it around until the big stones are washed out along with other things. Gold, being heavier, is left at the bottom.

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

What’s the problem? It’s more likely that none of us start a conversation because it’s challenging, or we think it’s 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 advantages.

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, professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to look for an interaction (互动) with its waiter; the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their waiter reported higher positive (积极的) 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 greater sense of belonging (归属感), a relationship 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’s the main idea of Paragraph 1?

A.Interest in smartphones. B.Unsuitable behaviours in public places.

C.Absence of communication between strangers. D.Impatience with slow service.

【2】What does the coffee-shop study suggest about small talk?

A.It improves family relationships. B.It raises people’s confidence.

C.It matters as much as a formal talk. D.It makes people feel good.

【3】What is the best title for the text?

A.Conversation Counts B.Advantages of Small Talk

C.Uncomfortable Silence D.Ways of Making Small Talk

26、You might like to listen to music while studying. What kind of music is your favorite? An experiment done with British workers found that listening to classical music at work can improve one’s efficiency (效率) by 15%. A study of 2,000 British workers found that half of them often listen to music on the job. Some of their bosses encourage them to do so, while others are against it, believing it hurts their work.

British scientist Becky Spelman did an experiment to find out if background music hurts or improves efficiency. In the study, four office workers were asked to copy two 600-word sets of passages. The group worked on the first set with no music playing and worked on the second set with classical music playing in the background. It took them 20 minutes and 59 seconds to finish the first set. The time for the second set was 17 minutes and 42 seconds.

Classical music can work as a kind of white noise, according to Spelman. “White noise is a mixture of sounds with different frequencies (频率). It can help people stay cool and calm. In fact, as long as the music has a calm beat, it can help us slow our heartbeat and stay calm. This makes it easier for us to work quickly and carefully,” Spelman said.

【1】Some bosses in Britain encourage the workers to listen to music because ________.

A．the workers don’t like their jobs

B．the bosses want to do a study

C．the workers can improve the efficiency

D．the bosses like music very much

【2】What is the same for the workers in Becky Spelman’s experiment?

A．Kind of music.

B．Time of copying.

C．Efficiency of working.

D．Number of workers.

【3】According to Becky Spelman, white noise is ________.

A．able to help people stay calm

B．a special kind of classical music

C．able to help people work slowly

D．a mixture of different kinds of music

【4】Which of the following could be the best title for the text?

A．Noise brings harm

B．Workers interested in music

C．Music improves efficiency

D．Experiments of music playing

27、   Nothing in Wiley Post's early years showed that he would become a famous pilot one day.

His family were farmers. In 1913, Wiley saw something that forever changed his life---an airplane. Wiley Post began to study everything he could find about flying. Post finally rode in an airplane in 1919. After his first ride, Wiley Post knew that flying was something he could learn to do.

Wiley Post began his career in flying, not as a pilot, but as a performer who jumps from airplanes using a parachute. He did this with a group that performed flying tricks to earn money.

Wiley Post then decided the only way to become a good pilot was to buy an airplane of his own. He needed more money than be earned in the flying show. He went to work in the oil-producing areas of Texas. But he damaged his left eye in an accident. Doctors had to get rid of his eye. Judging distance is difficult without two eyes. Wiley Post began teaching himself to judge distance with only one eye. It took a long time, but he succeeded. In 1928, he got a job flying the plane that belonged to a rich oil producer from Oklahoma called F.C. Hall. In 1930, Post entered the National Air Races in this plane and won.

On June 23. 1931, Wiley Post and Gatty had flown around the world. But many people said Gatty was the real hero. He had guided the flight. This hurt Post. Wiley Post began to plan another flight around the world. This time he would go alone.

On July 15, 1933, Post took off from Floyd Bennett Field in New York. He became the first person to fly from New York to Berlin without stopping. He had flown around the world in eighteen hours and forty-nine minutes.

29、Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage（选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文):

My neighbor Ollie and I have been friends since we were young. But I almost lost him as a friend forever!

It started the day Ollie came to the Harvest Fair with my family. Ollie and I played the ringtoss(投环套物游戏)._____, I found Ollie was smiling at a kid behind me. It was Ethan. He and Ollie was on the same soccer team. They talked happily and almost in a little while, they moved over to a patch of grass and started playing.

I followed them, but they played soccer together as if I didn't ___. "The Rope Ladder looks fun," I said." Want to try it?" But neither of them looked up as if I was not there.

Later, I ran away.

On the ride home, my feelings were still so hurt that I couldn't even look at Ollie."What's wrong?" he asked, but I pretended not to hear. When I got to my house gate, I said under my breath to him," You are the ___friend I have ever had." He looked surprised and a little angry.

Ollie and I didn't speak to each other for a week. One day we happened to be at the park at the same time, and Ollie came over to me.

"You thought I was leaving you out_____?"

So we started hanging out again. Things were a little weird(奇怪的) at first, but they went pretty much back to ____ after a few days.
