Small talk has a reputation for being uninteresting, and for good reason. Pointing out the fact that it's raining seems as ridiculous as pointing out the fact that you have a head—you're fully aware of both things, and don't require an outsider to confirm them. But despite being evident and often painfully dull, small talk has an important role to play, enabling us to overcome social obstacles towards improved, meaningful interaction(互动).
Humans can be sensitive souls. We each have our boundaries and lists of potential upsets, which when broken,cause us to either gently back away to an alternative position in the room, or become cross at the person. Small talk is first a way to test the waters with an unfamiliar person, so that you may better understand their character.When finding yourself positioned closely to a person who you know little about, it's much safer to point out the rainy sky than to share your political views on a sensitive topic. Until you know the person better, heavier topics should probably be kept under wraps, so you won't find yourself on the receiving end of a cold stare.
Though insignificant, small talk still has great power. When talking with fellow humans, much of our soul is exposed through non-verbal communication.A response to “how was your weekend” can unveil much about the person's character. The length of their response might indicate their level of self-confidence;the tone of speaking might show how agreeable a person is; their slightly lowered head, as if protecting themselves from attack,a possible sign of a regrettable history of bullying.
As more of a person's character is revealed, we have the insight needed to determine whether to broach more significant topics—the things that we actually want to talk about. Conversation is a great education, and deep
conversations establish lasting bonds with others, forming precious friendships that paint our lives with vibrant colors. Such friendships begin with small talk.
32. What is described in the first paragraph?
A. The difficulty of having deep conversations. B. Absence of communication between strangers.
C. The first stage of human interaction. D. Ridiculous human behavior in communication.
33. Why do people find themselves“on the receiving end of a cold stare”?
A. Because they fail to manage interpersonal distance.
B. Because they are enthusiastic about politics.
C. Because they are too sensitive about topics.
D. Because they come up with some uninteresting topics.
34. What might be a sign of friendliness according to paragraph 3?
A. The length of the answer. B. The position of the head.
C. The distance between speakers. D. The quality of the voice.
35. What might be the best title for the text?
A. Reputation of Small Talk B. Significance of Small Talk
C. Ways of Understanding others D. Challenges of Deep Conversation

In Orchestra(管弦乐队) class, we had on Fridays something called Chair Challenge. You could challenge the next higher-up chair. The teacher selected a passage from the music and the person you were challenging would play it first—then you would play it. The teacher would determine which of you won.
If you won, you switched places with the loser and moved up one chair. And at the end of December, whoever was first-chair violin, first-chair viola and first-chair cello(大提琴) would play the three separate solos (独奏) in the big New Year Concert.
Hearing this I was determined to be the one who played the cello solo in the New Year Concert.I was second-chair, third-cello. In order for me to become first-chair, first-cello I would need to do five Chair Challenges—and win all five!And I only had six weeks to do it.
The school allowed us to take instruments home on weekends.I decided to take my cello home and practice hard. So every single Friday and then again on Monday, for six weeks I carried this big cello case onto and off the bus before and after-school. Then I went home and practiced. I practiced any music we were playing in class. And I sounded terrible.
But I kept at it. And then a funny thing happened around the second week. I wasn't sounding that terrible anymore. And I realized I was getting better.
The first Chair Challenge the following Friday was a nervous affair. My hands were shaking badly. But when I finished the teacher smiled and said.“Challenge successful—switch chairs.”I felt excited.
I didn't dare tell anyone about my goal.I knew they'd tell me it was impossible.
The girl who was first-chair, first-cello, Patricia, had been playing for years!Surely, to unseat Patricia would be very difficult.
But I kept practicing and winning my challenges, week after week—until it was the last Friday of December.I was now second-chair, first-cello. The teacher asked if there were any Chair Challenges. Patricia turned to me and laughed.“Well …?”she said.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Para1：“Challenge!”I called out.

Para2：The class cheered and clapped.

Notice
To know about the meaning of body language in English-speaking countries and explore different cultures, we invited our American teacher Peter to do a lecture and explain the meaning of the different gestures. With the theme of “Body language in English-speaking countries", Peter will show many examples of body language. At the end of this lecture, you can ask questions if you are still confused.
The lecture will be given at our School Hall this Friday. We are looking forward to your participation!

One possible version:
“Challenge!” called out. Everyone laughed and cheered. The teacher pulled out two pieces of music. Patricia went first, being the challenged, and she played the passage beautifully. Only one little mistake Then it was my turn. 1 was unfamiliar with this piece. but I'd been practicing. and my sight-reading had improved so much that I was confident I could do well. I took a deep breath and began. I played that passage so smoothly that it was like I'd been playing it all my life.
The class cheered and clapped. I Was surprised. No one had ever clapped after a Chair Challenge. Even Patricia was clapping! The teacher had a smile as he nodded. “Challenge successful, switch. And, congratulations, First-Chair, First-Cello." It turned out that the piece he had given us to play was the actual cello solo for the New Year Concert. I learned from my personal experiences that you can achieve what you set out to complete.
