Small talk means the little things we talk about at the start of a conversation. In English-speaking 　46．          　 (country) people often make small talk about the weather: "Nice day, isn't it?" "Terrible weather, isn't it?" But there is something special 　47．     　 small talk. It must be about something which both people have the same opinion about. The purpose of small talk is 　48．     　 (let) both people agree on something. This makes 　49．        　 (meet) people easier and more comfortable. People usually agree about the weather, so it is a safe topic for small talk. But people often 　50．         　(agree) about religion or politics so these are not suitable topics for small talk in English. The topics for small talk also depend on where the conversation is taking place. At football 　51．        　(match), people make small talk about the game they are watching: "Great game, isn't it?" At bus-stops, people may comment about the transport system: "The bus service is terrible, isn't it?"    Greetings and small talk are an important part of conversation in any language. The way people greet each other and the things they talk about, however, may be different 　52．     　one language to another. This shows that there is much more to learn when we learn a language than just the vocabulary and the grammar 　53．     　 the language. We also have to learn the social 　54．         　 (behave)  of the people who speak it.五、阅读表达（共5小题,满分10分）阅读短文,根据要求完成下面各小题。    We had to stay at Cousin Kate's for the weekend. Cousin Kate was really bossy. We had to do everything she said. Well, almost everything.     The trouble is, Cousin Kate likes to get her own way. If we don't do what she says, she can get really grumpy.    Cousin Kate said she had a new computer game. "I'll let you play with it," she said. "But you have to do jobs for me first." We really wanted to play the game, so we had to do what Cousin Kate said. Cousin Kate said, "See all those leaves, you have to rake them up."    Cousin Kate sat on the ground and watched us. "Why don't you help?" we asked. But Cousin Kate said, "I'm the boss. You have to do what I say." It took a long time to rake up the leaves. The wind kept snatching them and the cat thought it was a game. Cousin Kate just said, "Hurry up!"    Then Cousin Kate took us to the henhouse. "You have to get every egg," she said. "They are under the hens." It was a very smelly job and the hens pecked our hands. "How many eggs have you got?" shouted Cousin Kate. "Ten," we said. "Not enough," she said. "Keep looking."    We had to stay in the smelly henhouse for a long time. Then, at last, Cousin Kate said, "That will do." We rushed out of the henhouse, but we fell over. The eggs rolled out of the basket and smashed. The yolk ran like a yellow river, over the ground.     Cousin Kate was really cross. "Now Mum won't have any eggs to sell!" she shouted. She stamped her foot. "Get those sticks," she said. "Now cover up all this mess with dirt!" Of course Cousin Kate didn't help. She just stood there, telling us to go faster.    We hadn't quite finished when Cousin Kate's mother came out. "Kate!" she said. "Why haven't you raked up the leaves?" There were leaves everywhere. The cat was flicking leaves off its back. It looked like it was smiling!     "Where are the eggs?" asked Cousin Kate's mother. "Mrs. Mac is here for them."    Cousin Kate had to tell her mother about the eggs. Her mother was cross. When she found out we had done all the work, she was really cross!    "You had to work for that computer game," she said. "That was the deal!"    Cousin Kate's mother gave us the computer game to take home. "You can keep it for a while," she said.55．Which jobs does Kate ask us to do?56．What's the meaning of the word "cross"? (In English)57．Do you like Kate?
