第一节
A
Making a small chat doesn’t have to be painful， even if it’s with a boss who you want to impress or a blind date which you want to see a lot more of！
Believe it or not， making a small chat can be fun—even for quiet personality types. Making a small chat is also an art that can be learned.
Making a small chat can be difficult even if you’re outgoing， but it’s especially difficult for introverts（内向的人）. Here’s how to enjoy making a small chat.
How to make a small chat： 8 tips for starting conversations with people you don’t know
1. Keep up with new events. Make a small chat about the news， sports， your community， or politics.
2. Comment on a piece of clothing. Ask where it came from， what the importance is， and how much it cost （just kidding）. Making a small chat is about being observant about people you don’t know well.
3. Pay attention to what they’re saying. When you’re making a small chat， follow up on phrases； for instance， if they say they’re “excellent”， ask why or ask where you can get some advice. If they mention that they’re “tired”， follow up on it. When you’re making a small chat， remember that great conversations and good connections can be just around the corner. 4. Share the interesting news about your day. Did you lose your keys or find $10？ Maybe you ate at a new restaurant recently， or found a greatly new CD. Making a small chat is about sharing the little things.
5. Ask what movies or books they’ve seen or read recently. Someone once asked me that at a party. Clearly， at first it felt unnatural， but then we had a fantastic conversation about the book I was reading！ Making a small chat is about trying new conversations.
6. Recall your past conversations with the same person. Ask if his son is still ill or how the Mexican holiday went. Making a small chat is easier when your memory is good.
7. Ask open—ended questions that require an explanation. For instance， “How are you？” isn’ t as effective as “What happened with ‘___’ you were dealing with？” （‘___’ could be a business deal， family problem， or financial investment（投资）.） Remember that anything is a basic topic of conversation. You can even talk about how uncomfortable when you are making a small chat—and ask them how they do it.
8. Relax. Enjoy yourself. People are interesting！ If you combine these tips for making a small chat with sincere interest， you’ll succeed in a fascinating conversation.

There once was a slave named Androcles who escaped from his master and fled into a forest. As he was wandering about， he came upon a lion lying down groaning（呻吟）. At first he turned to run away， but when he realized that the lion wasn’t chasing him， he turned back and went up to the giant beast. As Androcles came near， the lion put out his paw， which was bleeding. When Androcles looked at the paw， he saw a huge thorn（荆刺）which was stuck in it and was clearly causing the lion a lot of pain. Androcles pulled out the thorn and bandaged the lion’s paw with cloth. Soon the lion was able to rise and lick（舔）the hand of Androcles like a dog. The lion then took Androcles to his cave and every day brought him meat on which to survive. Shortly afterwards， both Androcles and the lion were captured and the slave was to be thrown to the lion which had been kept without food for several days. The Emperor came to see what would happen. Androcles was led out into the middle of the ground. Soon the lion was set free from his cage and rushed towards his victim. But as soon as the lion came near to Androcles， he recognized his friend and stopped in front of him， licking his hands like a friendly dog. When the Emperor was told the whole story， Androcles was set free and the lion was set free to return to his native forest.

It is important that you make a good impression on people at work. If you make a good impression on your boss， he or she is more likely to give you more chances which can lead to promotions（晋升）and raises. Here are some ways to make a good impression at work.
Use Proper Office Manners
Using proper manners will help you make a good impression on your boss and also your co—workers. Office manners include everything from the proper way to use e—mails to knowing when， where， and how to use your cell phone at work.
Face up to Your Mistakes
When you make a mistake at work， which everyone will do at some point， face up to it. Don’t ignore your mistake or place the blame on others. Take responsibility and come up with a settlement to fix your mistake. Your boss may not be too happy about it， but he or she will at least be impressed with your response.
Know to Call in Sick

第二节 下面文章中有5处（第46～50题）需要添加小标题。请从以下选项（A、B、C、D、E和F）中选出符合各段意思的小标题。选项中有一项是多余选项。
A. Goods for auction（拍卖）sales
B. Definition of bidding（出价）
C. Way to sell more goods by auction
D. Auction sales in history
E. Brief introduction to auctions
F. Making a larger profit as an auctioneer
46. _______________
Auctions are public sales of goods， conducted by an officially approved（被认可的）auctioneer. He asks the crowd to gather in the auction—room to make offers， or “bids”， for the various items on sale. He encourages buyers to bid higher figures， and finally names the highest bidder as the buyer of the goods. This is called “knocking down” the goods， for the bidding ends when the auctioneer strikes a small hammer on a table at which he stands.
47. _______________
The ancient Romans probably invented sales by auction， and the English word comes from the Latin auctio， meaning “increase”. The Romans usually sold in this way the goods taken in war. In England in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries， goods were often sold “by the candle”： a short candle was lit by the auctioneer， and bids could be made while it stayed alight.
48. _______________
Practically all goods whose qualities vary are sold by auction. Among these are coffee， skins， wool， tea， furs， silk and wines. Auction sales are also usual for land and property， furniture， pictures， rare books， old china and similar works of art.
49. _______________
An auction is usually advertised beforehand with full particulars of the articles to be sold and where and when they can be viewed by possible buyers. If the advertisement cannot give full details， catalogues are printed， and each group of goods to be sold together， called a “lot”， is usually given a number. The auctioneer need not begin with Lot I and continue in the order of numbers： he may wait until he notices the fact that certain buyers are in the room and then produce the lots they are likely to be interested in. 50. _______________
The auctioneer’s services are paid for in the form of a percentage of the price the goods are sold for. The auctioneer therefore has a direct interest in pushing up the bidding as high as possible. He will not waste time by starting the bidding too low. He will also play on the competitors among his buyers and succeed in getting a high price by encouraging two business competitors to bid against each other.

Making a small chat doesn’t have to be painful， even if it’s with a boss who you want to impress or a blind date which you want to see a lot more of！
Believe it or not， making a small chat can be fun—even for quiet personality types. Making a small chat is also an art that can be learned.
Making a small chat can be difficult even if you’re outgoing， but it’s especially difficult for introverts（内向的人）. Here’s how to enjoy making a small chat.
How to make a small chat： 8 tips for starting conversations with people you don’t know
1. Keep up with new events. Make a small chat about the news， sports， your community， or politics.
2. Comment on a piece of clothing. Ask where it came from， what the importance is， and how much it cost （just kidding）. Making a small chat is about being observant about people you don’t know well.
3. Pay attention to what they’re saying. When you’re making a small chat， follow up on phrases； for instance， if they say they’re “excellent”， ask why or ask where you can get some advice. If they mention that they’re “tired”， follow up on it. When you’re making a small chat， remember that great conversations and good connections can be just around the corner. 4. Share the interesting news about your day. Did you lose your keys or find $10？ Maybe you ate at a new restaurant recently， or found a greatly new CD. Making a small chat is about sharing the little things.
5. Ask what movies or books they’ve seen or read recently. Someone once asked me that at a party. Clearly， at first it felt unnatural， but then we had a fantastic conversation about the book I was reading！ Making a small chat is about trying new conversations.
6. Recall your past conversations with the same person. Ask if his son is still ill or how the Mexican holiday went. Making a small chat is easier when your memory is good.
7. Ask open—ended questions that require an explanation. For instance， “How are you？” isn’ t as effective as “What happened with ‘___’ you were dealing with？” （‘___’ could be a business deal， family problem， or financial investment（投资）.） Remember that anything is a basic topic of conversation. You can even talk about how uncomfortable when you are making a small chat—and ask them how they do it.
8. Relax. Enjoy yourself. People are interesting！ If you combine these tips for making a small chat with sincere interest， you’ll succeed in a fascinating conversation.

There once was a slave named Androcles who escaped from his master and fled into a forest. As he was wandering about， he came upon a lion lying down groaning（呻吟）. At first he turned to run away， but when he realized that the lion wasn’t chasing him， he turned back and went up to the giant beast. As Androcles came near， the lion put out his paw， which was bleeding. When Androcles looked at the paw， he saw a huge thorn（荆刺）which was stuck in it and was clearly causing the lion a lot of pain. Androcles pulled out the thorn and bandaged the lion’s paw with cloth. Soon the lion was able to rise and lick（舔）the hand of Androcles like a dog. The lion then took Androcles to his cave and every day brought him meat on which to survive. Shortly afterwards， both Androcles and the lion were captured and the slave was to be thrown to the lion which had been kept without food for several days. The Emperor came to see what would happen. Androcles was led out into the middle of the ground. Soon the lion was set free from his cage and rushed towards his victim. But as soon as the lion came near to Androcles， he recognized his friend and stopped in front of him， licking his hands like a friendly dog. When the Emperor was told the whole story， Androcles was set free and the lion was set free to return to his native forest.

It is important that you make a good impression on people at work. If you make a good impression on your boss， he or she is more likely to give you more chances which can lead to promotions（晋升）and raises. Here are some ways to make a good impression at work.
Use Proper Office Manners
Using proper manners will help you make a good impression on your boss and also your co—workers. Office manners include everything from the proper way to use e—mails to knowing when， where， and how to use your cell phone at work.
Face up to Your Mistakes
When you make a mistake at work， which everyone will do at some point， face up to it. Don’t ignore your mistake or place the blame on others. Take responsibility and come up with a settlement to fix your mistake. Your boss may not be too happy about it， but he or she will at least be impressed with your response.
Know to Call in Sick
Do you think coming to work when you are sick instead of staying at home will impress your boss？ Reasonable bosses know that a sick employee not only is unproductive but also he or she can spread an illness around the office. Call in sick when you are ill.

第二节 下面文章中有5处（第46～50题）需要添加小标题。请从以下选项（A、B、C、D、E和F）中选出符合各段意思的小标题。选项中有一项是多余选项。
A. Goods for auction（拍卖）sales
B. Definition of bidding（出价）
C. Way to sell more goods by auction
D. Auction sales in history
E. Brief introduction to auctions
F. Making a larger profit as an auctioneer
46. _______________
Auctions are public sales of goods， conducted by an officially approved（被认可的）auctioneer. He asks the crowd to gather in the auction—room to make offers， or “bids”， for the various items on sale. He encourages buyers to bid higher figures， and finally names the highest bidder as the buyer of the goods. This is called “knocking down” the goods， for the bidding ends when the auctioneer strikes a small hammer on a table at which he stands.
47. _______________
The ancient Romans probably invented sales by auction， and the English word comes from the Latin auctio， meaning “increase”. The Romans usually sold in this way the goods taken in war. In England in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries， goods were often sold “by the candle”： a short candle was lit by the auctioneer， and bids could be made while it stayed alight.
48. _______________
Practically all goods whose qualities vary are sold by auction. Among these are coffee， skins， wool， tea， furs， silk and wines. Auction sales are also usual for land and property， furniture， pictures， rare books， old china and similar works of art.
49. _______________
An auction is usually advertised beforehand with full particulars of the articles to be sold and where and when they can be viewed by possible buyers. If the advertisement cannot give full details， catalogues are printed， and each group of goods to be sold together， called a “lot”， is usually given a number. The auctioneer need not begin with Lot I and continue in the order of numbers： he may wait until he notices the fact that certain buyers are in the room and then produce the lots they are likely to be interested in. 50. _______________
The auctioneer’s services are paid for in the form of a percentage of the price the goods are sold for. The auctioneer therefore has a direct interest in pushing up the bidding as high as possible. He will not waste time by starting the bidding too low. He will also play on the competitors among his buyers and succeed in getting a high price by encouraging two business competitors to bid against each other.
