Having been down on myself and unhappy in my marriage I spent the week not being very nice to anyone in my family. I felt myself distancing myself from those people that were not the root of my anger. Those little people with sweet innocent eyes were wondering why Mommy was only going through the motions, wondering why there was no love in her actions. I pushed my daughter away as she tried to hug me.

For years I had made such a big deal out of having dinner as a family but during this time of heartache that I was experiencing I just couldn't bring myself to be with them. I began to hate them. It would be so easy to change my life without having them to think about. And how many times had I heard that I needed to do what was best for the kids. Did nobody care what was best for me?

Then I watched a show on TV that made me realize what I was doing to these poor kids. I needed to control my own life, not only for my own sake but for my kids too.

That night I went to sleep with calm thoughts in my head. The issues in my marriage had not been resolved but the issues I had with myself had. I knew what I had to do to better my life and my children’s too.

The next morning after fixing and eating breakfast with my three wonderful kids, my middle son who is 5-year-old put his arms around me and said Hey Mom, you’re really being nice to us today." What could I say to that tiny face to take away all the pain that I had caused?

Making small talk is an important skill for social situations such as business dinners, weddings, business parties and even first dates. Making small talk is an art that can be mastered.

Preparing for conversation doesn't mean doing a month's worth of reading while taking notes just for an evening of cocktails. Prepare small talk for your event by coming up with two or three topics you would feel comfortable talking about if there is a pause in the conversation. Try current events, a favorite trip you've taken or a topic like cooking. Ask questions that require a story rather than a one-word answer, recommends writer Jessica Stillman in the article "How to Make Small Talk Way More Fun," published on Inc. com. For example, "How did you get started in your line of work?" requires a story, but "What do you do for a living, can be answered in just a few words.

Begin small talk by making eye contact and offering the person a warm and inviting smile. This reduces tension and tells the other person you are open to a conversation. Don Gabor, the writer of Talking with Confidence for the Painfully Shy, says that eye contact with another person for five to 10 seconds indicates curiosity and is considered friendly. However, never stare directly into another person's eyes too much, as this can make him feel uncomfortable.

Keep the conversation positive, especially with people you've only jus; met. Keeping the chat focused on positive things will help people feel better rather than worse alter having a conversation with you. Asking someone about her day, offering a sincere compliment or keeping the mood light by making the other person laugh are all ways to begin small talk that leads to a positive conversation.

28. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?

A. Jessica Stillman’s tips for small talk.      B. Preparations for small talk.

C. Topics for making small talk.            D. A story instead of a one-word answer.

29. What's the meaning of your friendly eye contact during small talk?

A. You are uncomfortable.          B. You are more confident.

C. Your are proud of small talk.      D. You want to communicate further.

30. What can we infer from the passage?

A. A positive chat is more important.

B. Making small talk is difficult to learn.

C. Most conversations begin with introductions.

D. People love to talk about themselves, so be a great listener.

31. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A. How to Make Small Talk                 B. What to Prepare for Small Talk

C. How to Avoid Problems about Small Talk    D. What Are the Best Ways to Begin Small Talk

Researchers surveyed over 1200 families to find out if parents had concerns about their children’s weight and if they took any preventative action to avoid fatness in their children.

The study of over 1100 families found that 89% of parents of overweight 5-6 year-olds and 63% of parents of overweight 10-12 year-olds were unaware their child was overweight. It also showed that 71% of parents of overweight 5-6 year-olds and 43% of parents with overweight 10-12 year-olds did not think their child's weight was a problem.

"These are quite troubling results and suggest that current fatness prevention campaigns are not hitting the mark with parents," said head of the Centre, Professor David Crawford.

Professor Crawford said it was not surprising that many parents were unaware their child was overweight given that "many adults are not able to recognize overweight in themselves."

He suggested that some reasons for lacking recognition of childhood overweight could be that some parents, particularly mothers, tend to judge overweight by whether or not their child is made fun of about their weight at school.

Despite parents' inability to recognize problem weight in their children, Professor Crawford said a number of parents reported they employed various strategies to help prevent their child from gaining too much weight.

The most common strategies included: promoting a balanced diet; promoting physical activity; reducing junk food; limiting the amount of fat and sugar; promoting more fruit.

While this is encouraging, Professor Crawford said less than 10% of parents increased consumption of fruit and vegetables as a potential weight-control strategy, and few reported that they tried to limit or reduce their child’s intake of high-energy drinks.

32. How does the author develop his idea mainly in Paragraph 2?

A. By giving examples.      B. By explaining terms.

C. By listing figures.        D. By analyzing causes.

33. What does the underlined part "given that" probably mean in Paragraph 4?

A. Arguing.      B. Explaining.      C. Deciding.      D. Considering.

34. Why do some parents not recognize that their children are overweight?

A. Because they are too busy working.

B. Because they don't care about their weight.

C. Because they don't know what is about fatness.

D. Because they judge being overweight in a wrong manner.

35. What's Crawford's attitude towards the most common weight-control strategies?

A. Positive.      B. Negative.      C. Uninterested.      D. Confused.
