If you have seen a really good movie or have read a really good book, you can talk about that.

Ask open-ended questions.
These types of questions require more thought and more than a simple yes or no answer. 【3】, the conversation will go on longer.
Become a student.

27、Graham Moore is the best-selling author of The Sherlockian and the screenwriter of The Imitation Game. His new book The Last Days of Night is out now. He is talking about some of his favorite books.
Murder in Three Acts
BY AGATHA CHRISTIE
My mother is a crime fiction（侦探小说）lover and，when I was having trouble learning to read, we’d sit in my bed at home in Chicago and take it in turns to read a paragraph. It was the first book I read cover-to-cover and I later became a writer because of that experience. Not only did it give me a love of crime fiction but, more importantly, it taught me that reading can be a shared experience.
Cryptonomicon
BY NEAL STEPHENSON
This book showed me that historical fiction need not be dry, but can be lively and enjoyable. Stephenson asks readers to take science seriously, but writes the story in a funny way. I’d long known of Alan Turing, but Stephenson’s technique (手法）of describing him was surprising; I saw how a writer can bring a real person to life for modern readers.
A Visit from the Goon Squad
BY JENNIFER EGAN
Egan uses a technique that I drew on when writing The Imitation Game. She tells stories from different voices and times, and uses many styles that say to readers, “I’ve done a lot of work, but now you have to join in and work it out for yourselves.”
With my latest book, my greatest hope is that readers will want to get other people discussing the book. I’ve just started the conversation.

28、 Mount Hood is the highest mountain in Oregon, a state in the western United States. At 3,400 meters it is attractive (有吸引力的) to many people, some of whom, of course, run into trouble. Each year 25 to 50 people have accidents or get lost on Mount Hood and require rescue. Although most of these are understandable accidents, a few result from careless risk-taking.
In one recent case, three experienced climbers went hiking (远足) in the middle of a snowstorm in December. Most hikers climb Mount Hood in May or June when the weather conditions are favorable. But in December, the mountain is covered in snow and ice. Winds up to 135 kilometers per hour blow the snow around making it difficult to see. Temperatures can drop below freezing. As one rescue worker put it, “What were they thinking? They were just asking for it.”
During a rescue a few years ago, a helicopter full of rescue workers crashed (坠毁) and the rescue workers were almost killed. Linda Carle, who lives in the Mount Hood area, asks, “If someone made a poor decision, why should rescue teams have to risk their lives to save them? Why do people take unnecessary risks and do things that aren’t right if they know that they can get into trouble?”
Most of the Mount Hood rescue workers are either volunteers (志愿者) or part of the local sheriff’s department. There is no charge for these rescues. It is the taxpayers (纳税人) who pay the bill. Linda Carle suggests that people who take careless risks and require rescue should be charged for the rescue. She feels it is only fair that costs for things like damaged helicopters and medical care for rescuers be paid for by the people who took the risk. What would you do if you were the local sheriff at Mount Hood?
【1】What can we learn about Mount Hood?
A.It lies in the south of the United States.

29、China is offering a small communication satellite platform（平台）to countries seeking an affordable solution for their own space-based internet networks.
The DFH-3E satellite platform was designed by the China Academy of Space Technology. It is the country’s first small satellite platform designed for operations, according to Xiong Xiaojang, head of the platform’s design team at the Beijing academy.
A satellite platform is to model a satellite, or satellite system, for its role and function. It is made up of the special equipment needed by any satellite specifically designed for the satellite in question. Xiong said satellites on powered DFH-3E platform will be able to carry up to 30 transponders（应答器）and operate in the orbit for at least 15 years. With a weight of up to 1.8 metric tons, the satellite is tasked with setting up a space-based internet service and is designed to be lifted into orbit by a Long March 2C or 2D carrier rocket, he added.
“We noticed that an increasing number of developing countries now seek to own communication satellites, but often don’t have the money or the market demand and also can’t get suitable signal frequency resources for communication satellites. So they don’t need large, powerful satellites that are overly large or too expensive. The DFH-3E platform is affordable and can meet their needs, ”said Hu Zhongmin, chairman of China Great Wall Industry, the international trade arm of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp.

31、Giving the missing words with the help of the letters given
Children have their own rules in playing games. They s【1】 need a referee(裁判) and rarely trouble to keep scores. They don’t care much about who wins or loses, and it doesn’t seem to worry them if the game is not finished. Yet, they like games that d【2】 a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compare. They also enjoyed games that move in stages, in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the determining of which side shall start, is almost a game in itself.
Grown-ups can hardly find children’s game exciting, and they often feel p【3】 at why their kids play such simple game again and again. However, it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinary afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be confident, too, in particular games, that it is his place to give o【4】, to pretend to be dead, to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kiss someone he has caught.
It appears to us that when children play a game they can i【5】 a situation under their control. Everyone knows the rules, and more importantly, everyone plays according to the rules. Those rules may be childish, but they make sure that every child has a chance to win.
32、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Missus Sommers one day found herself the unexpected owner of fifteen dollars. It seemed to be a very large amount of money for her. For a day or two, she walked around in a dreamy state as she thought about her choices. Her daughter Janie was wearing worn shoes and needed new ones. And she would buy new shirts for the boys. Her daughter Mag should have another dress. And still there would be enough left for new stockings for her children. The idea about how to spend the dollars made her restless with excitement.
On the day she planned to go shopping with the money and shopping note, she ate a light meal ---no! Between getting the children fed and the house cleaned, and preparing herself to go shopping, she forgot to eat at all.
When she arrived at the large department store, she spotted a pile of silk stockings at the entrance. A sign nearby announced that they had been reduced in price. A young girl behind the counter asked her if she wished to examine the silky leg coverings. She smiled as if she had been asked to inspect diamond jewelry, and started to feel the soft, expensive items. Missus Sommers picked up a black pair and looked at them closely. Excitement suddenly showed on her pale face. She looked up at the shop girl and said proudly, “Well, I will buy this pair. ”
Missus Sommers changed her cotton stockings for the new silk ones in the ladies’ rest area. She had let herself be controlled by some machine-like force that directed her actions and freed her of responsibility.
How good was the touch of the silk on her skin! Then she put her shoes back on and put her old stockings into her bag. Next, she went to the shoe department, where she tried on a new pair of boots. Her feet and ankles looked lovely. She could not believe that they were a part of herself.

1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；

Para 1: After buying the new pair of boots, she walked into the clothing department.
