    What is small talk? It means that the conversation is about some little things, which are not important. You can make small talk when waiting in line in the supermarket, or while waiting for the bus. Though the topics in small talk are not important, the small talk itself is very important. It makes other people feel relaxed; it breaks the silence; it shows friendliness and good manners, and it makes time pass pleasantly.

    In small talk, it is important to remember to smile and keep the conversation relaxed. It's also good to show a sense of humor. You could talk about the weather, an interesting story in the news or on television, a sports event, a play or movie, or you could ask parents about their children.

    What shouldn't you talk about? You should try not to talk about politics or religion. Also, you should try not to talk too long on a subject or ask questions that are too personal. Give other people a chance to speak and listen to what they say. If you two have different opinions on a topic, change it.

 阅读下列短文,从各题所给的A、B、C三个选项中,选出最佳选项。

 Riding a Mobike on the street, you might hear some people speaking Chinese aloud. Turning to the right, you see a Sichuan- style restaurant. After walking into a store, you see that Huawei smartphones are on sale. But you' re not in China- you' re in Manchester in Britain. In fact, you might see similar things in many other cities.

 Chinese products have been going all over the world. Chinese food has been enjoyed in Western countries for a long time. To meet local people's tastes, Chinese restaurants have made some changes to the dishes." One example is the meat." said Yin Hang,a Chinese student who is studying in Australia." We like to eat meat with the bone(骨头) in, but people here don't. So the local Chinese restaurants provide big pieces of meat without bones, even for fish."

 Some Chinese brands are also becoming more popular. It is reported that in many cities in Europe, many stores sell TCL televisions, Haier fridges and Lenovo computers. More than half of US- owned drones(无人机) are Chinese models, according to China Daily. They' re not only made in China, but also designed and developed in the country.

 In the past, most Western people thought Chinese products were cheap and unreliable. But now, things have changed greatly. More people trust Chinese brands." Made in China" becomes cool." They are beautiful and offer something special that American phones don't have." an article on CNN once said about Chinese smartphones.

 As it is said, Chinese government has been trying its best to improve its national brands of all kinds to meet the needs of modern life.
